Championship - 2020/2021

[Jattdogg]

Congratulations Brentford 

[Tuna]

Nice one Brentford, enjoy the Premier League and thanks in advance for the 6 points next season 

[spacemunky]

That's gotta feel good for Brentford fans.

Probably means Toney will be staying at Brentford for at least another year. Time to get the Edouard deal over the line.

[Tuna]

Any ideas why they now have the playoff finals in reverse order? I always used to like the playoff weekend with league one, then two and the championship final on the bank holiday Monday.

[Sir Shep]

I think Brentford will do well for their first season in the EPL, nailed on for 3 points at our gaff .

I'll update the ever obliging thread now, then. 

That Toney is some player, though. We might not be in a position to get him, at this rate. 

[Facecloth]

Congratulations Denma....I mean Brentford.

Probably because Championship players are more likely to play international football during the summer and it gives them more of a break.

[Koke]

Too many London clubs. Preferred Swansea. Oh well, congrats to Brentford.

A well deserved promotion, after being unlucky over the past couple of season’s.

 

Toney and Pinnock are absolute beasts.

 

A club very much like ourselves, well run and recruit well 

[Vacamion]

 

Pleasing.

 

We can meet them without having to draw them in the cup.

 

 

[Facecloth]

"So Pontus, congratulations on getting promoted with Brentford about a minute ago, you must be delighted and emotional, now what about Leeds?"

 

🙄

[Fox in the North]

Happy enough for a different team to get promoted again, shares the wealth around and mixes up the league a bit. 

[Corky]

Sky saying Brentford will face Bielsa as though it is huge and brand new; they've already played in him in two seasons.

With respect it's 2 days

I agree that in the grand scheme of things it doesn't make much difference. But I can't think of any other possible reason. Can you?

It’s like when you press square instead of circle. We’ve all done it. 

Only a few million times.

I would guess it's because it's the way Sky want it.

Brentford have 2/3 in the Denmark squad for example.

 

3rd best team at least this season so fully deserved promotion.

Wish the championship play off finals were on a Saturday when we were in them, could have saved me a few sick days and working with severe hangovers. Plus a weekend blast round London after winning would have been fantastic. 

[Finnaldo]

Barnsley were my preference (well ran minnows and not too far a journey) but Brentford are probably the least offensive London club going so fair play.

The last time City played Brentford in a top-flight league game was an away match on 1st April 1939, which we lost 2-0.

Personally, I was hoping Swansea would go up. Seven clubs from the London area will be in the PL next season, including the Bees and the Hornets, which will mean 42 inter-London matches, or one ninth of the season's fixtures overall.

Hope a world war doesn’t break out after this one
