I really should have learnt better by now than to go to matches at the soulless warehouse belonging to the English franchise of the biggest corporate entity in global football.

It’s Not All Doom And Gloom
Looking at Brentford’s results and performances from orbit, one win a piece every month since November, it certainly looks like we are in an unescapable downwards spiral.
