I don’t think they should’ve won. The penalty they got was a bit lucky imo.

XG says otherwise
Yeah but isn’t a penalty something like 1xg? Tottenham strolled the second half they just weren’t creative enough. I don’t think a couple of misses and an iffy penalty mean Brentford should’ve won, a draw is probably fair.

He's done really well with what he's had to work with. While I don't know if he's ready for the upper echelons yet, he's steadily making his way towards the list of names who will be candiates for the next big English club that sacks its manager. Hope he doesn't fall into the Chelsea trap, and I hope he gets a few more years before better offers lure him away from Brentford. One day, maybe in five or ten years, he might be someone to look out for.

He's clearly got something. In a very short time, he transformed Brentford from absolute nobodies to a tough game for any team in the league. That's not something anyone and everyone can accomplish. And they're not doing it through thuggish violence like Stoke did in the 00s.

Don‘t get me wrong I absolutely love Thomas Frank but this is the sort of post that, understandably, shows a lack of understanding of what Brentford are as a club today. If you want to know who has transformed Brentford it is not Thomas Frank - it is Matthew Benham. If only Manchester United could have an owner in the Matthew Benham mould rather than the charlatan scum they’ve been lumbered with. I love Thomas Frank and will sing his name with pride at OT in October but would he be as much a success at top 6 side I am not so sure. Look at all the managers who have left us and their career trajectories since Benham took over and there is your answer I feel…

Thomas must be livid. Got the tactics spot on. But nothing stops that Scottish train

Poor Little Thomas and poor little Brentford deserved nothing today and got exactly that.

Cnut.

We all love United
Their defender celebrating a goal kick in their favour had me in stitches when there’s still more than five minutes to go :lol:

He has one punchable face, glad he's got nothing to show for. Him and that cnut defender celebrating in the 90th min for putting the ball out of play...would love to ram the celebration down his throat.

Odd reaction...hard to watch that match and come away thinking "Brentford destroyed United!"

Limited United to a few clear chances, yeah, but it was a very lucky goal in the first half and then they defended for the remainder of the game.

A few people obsessed by him on here - wouldn’t worry about it….

I think that was the exact moment they lost the match.

Maybe there's a reason he's so disliked. Man Utd fans wouldn't otherwise have much reason to have it in for the manager of Brentford.

Has he tried not being such a wanker?

I think it's because he is incredibly arrogant and emits unlikableness like no other (I know Arteta is disliked by most - I made a thread about this a while ago).

He's got you punching above your weight, so it's not that he's a bad manager, but to me he's like a spiky version of Brendan.

He smiled when we scored our second, nice of him!

Ajer that was. Couldn't stand him throughout the match today. Was arguing the ref at literally every decision involving him.

I don’t buy that it’s arrogance from your lot pure and simple, you can’t handle little old Brentford turning you over 4-0 at ours and giving your more of challenge Than you’d like to admit. I wonder how many hundreds of your fans missed that turnaround today by sneaking out early? End of the day we are your challengers at the moment in mid table and, understandably, it hurts

How is that relevant? Does ETH have this effect on people? It's fine to be happy with an over-performing manager, but it's hard to deny how he comes across. I know people hate Mourinho when he was here, I didn't care, but I wouldn't close my eyes to it.

There were two reasons why I didn't want Brendan here, one was he's not good enough but the second, and equally important, is that he's so dislikable. Even though there were people clamouring for him (@Pogue Mahone :D)
