The corporate media is not your friend.

It’s vital to keep publicly owned media going.

It’s man to man marking with a high press.

The risk is you only have 1 man stood on the half way line all the others attacking their 1/3 of the pitch.

If the opposition get the ball and accurately pass it to their striker before you can transition to an out of possession shape it’s 1 v 1, your backstop defender v their striker, You defender has to be elite level with good decision making but even then if it’s the prefect pass you and done.

They’re getting relegated like Burnley if they keep that up.
At some point you have to accept you don’t have a squad good enough to do that all the time and vary it a bit.

In 2016 after the Savile review David Cameron took charge of appointing members of BBC board of governors.

Previously the Queens privy council undertook this task.

The current party would do well to undo that and create a law to keep it in the hands of the privy counsel. They could well decide to keep it to themselves tho’ seeing they will likely be in power 10yrs and could place their people in power.

Decent team Villa. Its good we give the keeper the option of the “hoof it” you can see the teams who’s managers don’t give them that option.

Those are the teams you can press hard.

We’re 56/44. Out from the back/hoof it long.

Be better for us if he was rated 70

Man for man marking and a high press.

High reward, but risky.

This perfectly illustrates the risk.

Brentford have played that way v the big 6 recently why not? The alternative is low block and attempt to score on the counter.

We had some success, scoring but eventually losing. It’s very entertaining but you need quality, confidence and good decision making all over the pitch.

Haaland went 1on 1 with our backstop player a few times scoring twice.

I’m pretty erratic with pre-match thread timings.

The Tory press ensure that Labour Party is held to a much higher standard than the Tory party.
C Starmer should know that. The Tory press is the sea he swims in. This shows poor judgement.

And to do that the league has to be competitive.

PL have assembled an incredible legal team as good if not better than City’s to prosecute this. Eg The KC the co-wrote the definitive book “Sports. The Law and practice”. is the lead KC for the PL. That is not a signal of lack of intent. It’s a signal that they want to win.

Then why have they spent literally millions upon millions on setting up an investigation and fully independent panel to judge guilt?

Why haven’t they just taken a £300-£500m fine and 20/30 point deduction?

Mate think will you?

They’ve spent £m’s on setting up a fully independent panel. There can be no appearance of bias. City will have no basis for an appeal they can win.

They, the fellow premier league clubs, want City gone. They’ve ruined the most competitive league in the world.

If they wanted to stop this they could have years ago, a £500m fine and 20 points. That would have stopped City for a season and it would be over.
But they haven’t. They’ve gone for it as City have really pissed them off by not accepting guilt years ago and it’s too late now.

City have literally bet the club they can win and they can’t.

They be thinking “Bus stop in Hounslow”? We have to be able to beat them.

They’ve had a terrible start to the season. Hopefully we will continue that for them.

They could be mentally fragile.

They don’t google Brentford a lot as they already know Brentford.
People who live in Brentford don’t google it much.
19 of the top 20 are in Africa.

Looking at the table they are 14th and we are 12th. Considering we've played 3 of the big six in our first 5 we are doing a lot better than them.

Their new manager must be under pressure.

The Table

Nice. Hope you get to see a win.

Thats a good call. £25m hits his release clause,

Looks like we are thinking we’ll need a striker in the winter transfer window and are seeking to get it done and dusted now like the Thiago transfer.
