"I got this"

my brother remarked the other week that it's a topsy-turvy world when Dave Edwards is your most consistent player

really hope Paul Lambert knows CPR

needing a danny baathist insurgency here

so glad Hannah's staying so i'm watching this at home

there's nothing "Super" about Leicester vs West Brom, lads

ian holloway on his touchscreen there, drawing an arrow big enough to show how big a clearance the defender should have done

shit centre halves is a big part of our problem

also at least one too many selfish dicks who hold onto the ball when they have 3 team mates unmarked in the box

ah, the traditional 2nd half different team

ave it keogh you gimp

Ince with the bullshit penalty

looool

such a crowd pleaser our Dave

this has been a good, inept game

c'mon Wolves we can do these casual gamer cunts

jesus christ open goal from 6 yards

incredible save tbf!

yeah i was more bewailing the fact that he was stood there unmarked

lovely pass tbf!

anyway cmon, game needs an equaliser

ah well

i think Lambert can get this shower into shape tbh, still need at least one centre half with a brain and a proper centre mid beast but if we can get on top of games we should start winning

what's the word on saiss and prince wotsit

what i've seen of either of them hasn't been that convincing although i don't think the Prince has had a proper go in his preferred position

i think it was stupidly early to sack Zenga but when you look at relative lack of progress and some of the rumours about his laid-back approach to turning up and doing his job, it's basically too early to judge any of the noobs as i suspect none of them have been properly managed

so yeah either/both might be the solution to the midfield ish. the defence on the other hand is wretched. i still believe in Hause and would like Iorfa to have a spell at CB but they're kids and they need somebody alongside them with a slightly better ability to read the game and stand in the right place than Danny Baath is ever gonna have

the other reason i'm mildly optimistic about Lambo is because i think he will look to use the players we've got to build some fluidity rather than just replace everybody with Aryan shitkickers but i feel frightened even as i type that

34' Dismissal
Second yellow card to Karl Henry (Queens Park Rangers) for a bad foul.

Karl doesn't do good fouls tbf

38' Goal!
Nottingham Forest 1, Queens Park Rangers 0. Britt Assombalonga (Nottingham Forest) left footed shot from the left side of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Pajtim Kasami.

brb adapting this to sherwood

lol you bastard you've ruined it for me

Lambert made official, let the moaning begin

how tf are reading 4th

the scum are only 3 pts behind us now, that cushion provided by a good start is slowly deflating.

Tony Fernandes ‏@tonyfernandes 4h
Take the point. Strange how we played better with 10 men. Day and night. Thanks for keeping the fight and not folding over.

Tony Fernandes ‏@tonyfernandes 4h
Bemused, 17th 6 points of play off. It's tight. But it's not good enough. Need to improve. Plenty of points to play for 90 .

don logan's in front of the mirror again

JFH gone

there are a few commenters on the Express & Star pages that i'm pretty sure are Fosun stooges. love it.

we may be appointing ian holloway and marc bircham today, unless rowett loses his mind. mob rule...

this is a v otm and amusing round-up of the contenders

http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/44261

and, if u gaf, this is a v accurate assessment of jfh's time summing up everything i haven't had the strength to patiently explain to outsiders this week

"He even fell out with Shittu while there, unthinkable when the pair were together at QPR and the players called the centre back ‘Son of Holloway’. "

this made me lol!

I saw something the other day about a bunch of QPR fans that were going to support Brentford as a Sherwood contingency plan.

think you'd have to go a long way to find a qpr fan without a soft spot for brentford; formerly as prelapsarian hovis ad, now as uncanny depiction of everything we once desired and can never have again (last season's euro ultra stats model approach aside). they absolutely and baffingly detest us of course, the way we do chelsea, and i suppose the fact that some of us would blithely go off and patronise them in hard times as if they were hayes or harrow borough in non-league is exactly why... bless em

and on that note!!

We’re excited to reveal our new crest for the 2017/18 season onwards.

Over the past 18 months we’ve been on a journey to better demonstrate who we are to the wider community, to try and make more of the unique aspects of Brentford FC. As a result, we’ve seen a gradual change in the way we communicate with fans of our Club and those we hope to convert into fans over time.

As part of this process we have made the decision to evolve our crest, in order to make it more recognisable, iconic, and practical to use. Given that our crest is such a key element to our identity, updating it is not a decision we have taken lightly.

The final crest design is loosely based on the crest we used from 1972-75 and the 1960s Brentford Supporters Club badge. We believe it’s simple, the clean bee design will help us become more recognisable as a Club over time and we hope you will all be proud to wear it for many years to come.

bit sad about that tbh... the old one, font particularly, was so delightfully dated it was vaporware cool

I'm really not into literal representations on badges, our Yorkshire terrier one was awful as well. This Barnsley one has a combo of flares, Prussian military symbols and a gryphon smoking a pipe - it seems quite appropriate tbh.

“This is one of the biggest appointments the club has ever made. We’re still a bit shocked that we’ve managed to persuade Tim to take it on,”

Swindon might have to finally build a fourth stand to accommodate their new fookin massive Director of Football's ego.

Lol just in time for us

“People will be a little bit surprised that I’ve chosen Swindon over a few opportunities that I had, but it doesn’t surprise me."

“My job role is a bit of everything. I think the playing style will be tweaked somewhat, not totally, there’s not a lot wrong but at times they need to go a little bit more direct or turn the page over."

what a fucking tool, but it couldn't happen to a nicer club really.

any games on now?

oh dear, sometimes there is a new manager bounce and it isn't the best time to play a side. I didn't realise that Charlton were known as the robins as well.
