@Colemans_Dream The evening out!

Just seen spurs subbed the keeper after 17 minutes. Wow. That is brutal and one sure fire way to lose some players in the dressing room. Is there a chance Tudor doesn’t see the season out for spurs?!

@DeadlineDayLive I'll chip in a fiver after that first half

🚨 Bayern Munich are unwilling to meet Brentford’s €70M valuation for winger Kevin Schade. The 23-year-old remains a target for both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur as interest in the Brentford star continues to grow. 🇩🇪 The 24-year old has scored 7 goals in 29 matches for the Bees this season.

@LNRailway excelling again. Empty train leaves Hemel with no announcements of platform change and still showing on wrong screen. Platform full of people left bemused and annoyed.

@SkySportsNews The irony is that Forrest were making good use of the towels fastigiously drying the ball on even short throws to waste time, but everyone has their little ways 🤷‍♀️

''It's unfathomable to me common sense is not very common'' Sean Dyche on the Premier League allowing towels to dry balls for throw-ins despite this being banned in the EFL 🤔

@Rufus_45 Foot across the ball, shoulder to shoulder. Perfect defending

Was this a penalty for Newcastle ? #NEWCHE x.com/CenterVAR/stat…

Great that this story is finally being told, but a real source of shame for Government and particularly Lord Timpson and the @MoJGovUK that it has resorted to this, they have had a year to see these businesses right.

MoJ owes us £20m after contractor collapse, say suppliers bbc.in/4oDoqxR

@TouchlineX Big Sam

Who should replace Ruben Amorim? You can only answer with 1 name! 🤔

@chrispnewrdm71 He couldn't have done anything about 2 of the goals. Woods 2nd was savable, but 50:50 and he was unlucky. Distribution was a bit off at times, but not awful and he punched a few that he could have caught, but think that is how all keepers play now. So not disappointed.

Were any other Brentford fans disappointed with the new keepers performance?

@OJ_BFC @ItsMagicM8 @DaveMcLaughli20 @talkbees_ I am not sure it is, our ride won't always be upwards, there will be bumps in the road, but we have a strategy and we can't throw that away for the sake of one player or even one season.

@ItsMagicM8 @imcilwee @DaveMcLaughli20 @talkbees_ I get that 100%, but I do think we are taking our Premier League spot for granted should we decide not to replace Wissa (assuming valuation isn't matched). Not saying we'd get relegated, but it could be a bumpy ride. Ultimately, PL survival matters more than our principles IMO.

Safe to say Yoane Wissa is going to get a pretty awful reception when/if he returns to Brentford, and deservedly so. After just 1 good season to produce this amount of headloss is incredibly out of character for him. Always seemed to have huge respect for the club and the fans, but the true colours have shone through. Add him to the list of Rowlands and Tarky - he’s completely ruined a heroic relationship with the fans. Off you pop. Won’t be missed! 👋

@JImblee1 PS we were pretty poor vs Spurs. Year before it was Newcastle and Southampton. I am worried, but remember the year Villa qualified for Champions League they got destroyed in opening game

@JImblee1 Calm down @JImblee1. Usually you are the voice of reason, we put in some abject away performances last year (we didn't win away til after Xmas). Villa battered us, so did Fulham (how we were 1 v 0 up going into added time). None of those defined our season.

Even when we’ve played poorly in recent seasons we’ve never been completely outclassed in all areas of the pitch as we were today. Second best. Lack of prep & pre season games cruelly exposed.

@DaveMcLaughli20 @ItsMagicM8 @talkbees_ I sat through it yesterday and it was tough, but personally would rather see Wissa training with the reserves. If the club roll over any time the big 6 tap a player up and offer them big bucks and us a derisory fee, the whole project unravels.

@imcilwee @ItsMagicM8 @talkbees_ You can disagree all you like - anyone looking at our current squad & Sunday’s dreadful performance can see getting a rat out of the club & bringing in a new forward is best for everyone & makes commercial sense too!

@DaveMcLaughli20 @ItsMagicM8 @talkbees_ Disagree completely, this an important line in the sand moment for the club (in fact all smaller clubs at this level). Wissa can have a paddy, but he would be better focussing his anger on his agent who didn't negotiate his contract effectively and incorporate a release clause

@ItsMagicM8 @talkbees_ Club need’s to wake up - Giles for sure!! Wissa has to go - if we can get £35m + add ons for a guy 29 in couple of weeks sell & replace. We’re Brentford can’t afford him not playing & a free next year ffs. Based on Sunday need players in before Sept 1st or we’re fucked!

@grok @emmahsunshine I went to every Brentford game and don't remember that.

@emmahsunshine Yes, Bryan Mbeumo has played as a number 9 (centre-forward) at Brentford, including during the 2023-2024 season when Ivan Toney was suspended. He confirmed this in a July 2025 interview, saying he adapted to the role there.

Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi state has rewarded D’Tigress Blessing Ejifor with N30 million and a duplex.

@MagpieJoe_ @Andymb28 @SkySports_Keith If this was the case, it would have been a break clause in the contract. Football is business and contracts are how 'promises' are made, everything else is spin and guff by agents and journos.

@Andymb28 @SkySports_Keith Wissa has ONE YEAR left, and was promised to be sold for £26m by Brentford last summer and Newcastle offered £30m. Get your facts right

Eddie Howe on Newcastle fans: 🗣️ “Our supporters acted really well today because they supported the team when we were playing. 🗣️ “They’ve always done that unbelievably well. We have had some tricky moments. 🗣️ I think afterwards, if they want to say something they are free to do that.” #NUFC

@CharlieHocking @jack784693 Bigger how?

@jack784693 We’re bigger than Bournemouth, Brighton & Brentford. 3 of the luckiest clubs, got lucky at the right time with the riches of the prem.

@goldbossed @Evans_Bach @geordieles @Magpie24_7 Yes it has. Newcastle have also denied the agreement Isak is claiming he had. The situation is the same, don't believe the spin or try to claim a moral high ground (especially given the shakey moral foundations of your new found wealth)

@Evans_Bach @geordieles @Magpie24_7 Has it been denied by anyone connected to Brentford? We heard similar with isak but they refuse to accept it

@pmal5098 @bnanayaw21 @_iamion_ @ToonMouthTyne @TheAthleticFC @David_Ornstein Really, a shrewd club like Brentford that only manages to compete at this level due to optimising player value offered to let him go at a cut price. The club have debunked this but cling onto it if it makes you feel better about your club lowballing

@bnanayaw21 @_iamion_ @ToonMouthTyne @TheAthleticFC @David_Ornstein Wissa had a verbal agreement with Brentford that if a CL club come in for him he could leave for £26M that’s not even comparable to the Isak situation where Newcastle have maintained form the outset the fee was £150M

@mackyd78 @oJaayCo He is not saying 'sign player X' he is saying at Brentford he described the type of player he needed and the club used data and scouting to find a player that fitted the brief.

@oJaayCo Counter that to the hold up of us signing anyone is down to Frank..He isn't managing Brentford anymore, he is at a top club where he will have less of a say in the process. If you allow him specific players we end up in a situation when he is sacked of having to replace them all.

Thomas Frank on Johan Lange: "Obviously we are signing players here where the processes in Brentford, I'm not saying they were better, I think they're very good. "I think that Johan and his team is doing a top job, top, but just for them to understand what I'm looking for, so that needs to be aligned. "At Brentford it was aligned... 'I want that', 'OK, fine', we look at it, boom, and now I need to use more time with Johan and Rob and these guys and then we make presentations. 'No, no, no, I need that instead', so all that is just extra hours every day." Blokes been in the door a couple of weeks and he’s showing how useless Lange is.
