Fulham v Brentford, the £160 million match.

Wow this has been shit. I've switched to watching man utd v Liverpool from 2009 on sky sports 2. This is the match we lost 4-1 but feck me what a team we had!!

Rio, vidic, scholes, giggs, Rooney, ronaldo, tevez, berba
I was at that game. We had some team but got ripped apart that day
 
When did throat grabs stop being red cards? First Guendouzi, now Mitrovic.
 
Shocking GK he was getting more dodgy as the game went on
 
Safe to say Brentford will be selling their goalie on Marketplace tomorrow.
 
That's pathetic goalkeeping. Leaves all that space to aim for.
 
Just read that Brentford doesn't have a youth academy, what the feck.

Read an interesting comment on reddit about it, regarding the different categories of academies and why Brentford doesn't have one. From memory from 2000 to like 2011 there was the 90 min rule for academies, which meant academies could only sign players that lived within 90 minutes of the club. That led to crap academies which so was scrapped, now there's different tiers of academies like United's which I'd assume would be tier 1. But the rules currently allow tier 1 academies to poach players from other academies for peanuts, the reddit comment gave some examples, which basically means that smaller clubs like Brentford can have their best talents poached, leaving them running academies that don't really benefit them. Especially being in London, with so many other academies for players to go to. So they instead focus on recruiting well from other leagues.
 
The Brentford keeper is a joke.. He was way out of position which led to the free kick.. then he was totally out of position for the free kick.

total disaster.
 
Are we all pretty certain West Brom and Fulham are both down next season :lol: again, as per.
 
Goalkeeper diving seconds later to make it look like he tried. Great goal , shocking goalkeeping .

Cheers, that's interesting. Still feels a bit weird :D
 
Terrible keeping by Raya, but surely this is the best goal in the history of the Play-off finals? With Dean Windass in 08 (?) a close second.
 
£160m match decided through the dumbest goal of the year :wenger:
