In my last blog I said that my next blog would be a commentary on how his time at spurs was going… That blog was published on February 10th 2026 and it seems to have scared the big-wigs atContinue reading “The Poisoned Chalice”

Keith’s Brentford Bonanza
Hello again, it’s been a while. Whilst I was busy dealing with life crushing 2025 into 2026 like an avocado being made ready for toast there has at least been one escape from reality I have been able to rely on Brilliant Brentford.

Half A Decade Confirmed
When I started this blog in September 2021, with the aim of keeping it going as long as my beloved Brentford remained in the Premier League, I didn’t dare hope that I would be continuing it for half a decade but with the Bees now busy preparing for their 5th season in the top tierContinue reading “Half A Decade Confirmed”
