Brentford biggest club in west London confirmed ✅
You just have to laugh 😂
I’m just counting down the days until Poch fucks off so we can start trying to be a serious club again, and I hope the board realises their mistake and parts ways at the end of the season, instead of letting pride influence their decision. He’s washed as a top-level coach, and the game has simply left him behind.
We have just needleesly wasted a season on a guy who was clearly no longer good enough to meet our needs.
Hopefully, he takes Gallagher to whatever new club he goes to as well
You guys laugh now but you just wait, in 7 years, these players will come good
Just as they all leave on free transfers
while the good ones force their way out before that
Finishing yet again letting Chelsea down. Looked pretty solid the first half.
At what point do we stop considering chelsea a big 6 club and start calling them a mid table team?
Third season in a row that we win at Stamford Bridge
What the hell was the keeper thinking LOLLLL! There was 4 mins left to play, and it’s not some saturday pub league
chelsea is a midtable club
Brentford winning at Stanford Bridge for the third season in a row. Wonderful stuff
Pochettino is such an overrated nothing manager. All those players all that money and he hasn’t got a clue.
So glad we turned down players like Madisson because they‘re 26 but signed 291 17 year olds that are good but clearly not ready
Me too, man, me too.
The 17 year olds aren’t even the issue that much. If you’d just taken the money you spent on Disasi, Badiashile, Jackson, and Madueke you could have got Maddison and Szoboszlai and still had change.
Even just try and spent 1bn on a first XI, its actually not easy. Szobo, Maddisn, Rice midfield. Leao, Oshimen, Kubo attack. Thats still only like 500m.
Thiago looks like he’s just absolutely fuming
Did Brentford stop trying to play football after the Toney incident? Absolute terrorism.
Chelsea really struggle against teams that sit back… they lack the experience of how to break them down I think.
Pochettino struggling vs low blocks? No way
Surely this means Brentford is bigger than Arsenal
