"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.
― calzino, Thursday, 10 November 2016 11:33 (seven years ago) link
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

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
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 November 2016 12:16 (seven years ago) link
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.http://www.htafc.com/cms_images/team/bfc-crest-font-gloss238-3062.gif

“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.

“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.

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.

i'm sure you've all been really missing the ollyisms over the last decade so
"This is a working mans club that people would die for. [...] I've painted a picture in my brain of the QPR badge up on a mantelpiece covered in gold. It needs to be looked after and worshipped."

I'd take Peter Jackson back for a third time over Sherwood. If he could be persuaded to leave the care home he is currently managing in Brighouse that is. Ollie's Colin Hunt routine does my head in, but him not being Sherwood is cavernous gap on the rungs of twatdom imo.

I've never rated Slade and when some of his awful sides did inflict damage on us it was more an indictment of our own decline.

I know these new manager betting markets are 90% clickbait (Bubba Watson's papacy betting etc) but there does seem to be something to o'loughlin's favouritism.

AS Vita came calling again in January 2011, which surprisingly led to another stint at the club. Chris led the Congolese giants to another title challenge which went down to the final day of the season. They just needed a win and they would be champions, but a 0-0 draw was all they could muster.“Prior to the game I walked out into the stadium and there were about 50,000 in there that day and they were singing my name and all that stuff, we drew 0-0 and afterwards a riot broke out and we had to leave in army trucks. That was enough for me.”

tbf having just seen the difference a new manager can make i can say with some certainty that norwich could have had 15 men on the pitch and still been rubbish. neil is a goner

It sounds like we were giving free headers to Morrison and Lambert in the box every set-piece. Obv the rudiments of defending set-pieces is too much for some of these thick fuckers, Morrison had already had 2 free headers on target before he scored. Hopefully they will show Billing's 2nd wonderstrike since his debut to cheer me up later.
