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”
