Yeah, they despise them. I assume it has to be because of the late 80s and 90s when they played each other a lot, as I don't think they were rivals at any other time as Fulham were traditionally the bigger club. I've gone to Fulham for years and the bile about Brentford always makes me laugh. Within 5 mins of the deal hitting the press the other day one of my Fulham mates had messaged "he's a fucking weasel, I hope he breaks both his legs and never plays for them". I don't think his reaction would be any different than say if branthwaite joined us. 

 

That's because it's not 1989! There's no moodiness near any grounds now. 

 

 

It's like the Brightin-Palace rivalry and 'derby' very strange

[El Dangerous]

It’s ace. Football is as much about hatred as it is love. More so for shit teams. I like that there’s all these petty rivalries at all levels.

If this is true, I guess Bajectic stays

What, is Hughes hurt that his agent mate played him and so now he won't buy anyone? Fucks sake. What a shambles.

I don't know how this wanker has come to prominence, but he will probably be absolutely right.

Atleast we got money for Carvalho, eh?

Yacht polish doesn't pay for itself.

You know what, it's fine. I think Slot will take a 30th and 31st look at Endo in training and will ultimately determine that he is actually the solution.

[TheDrowningMan]

Massive questions have to be asked of the recruitment team if there’s no backup. Going into yet another season without a top quality 6 is not great and the bigger picture looks like another season of wilful, avoidable squad stagnation while most other clubs do all they can to improve.

 

4th place would be an utterly extraordinary achievement by Slot this season.

[Harry Squatter]

We are waiting for Bellingham.

[Harry Squatter]

A load of bullshit about the new manager assessing the squad for 2 months. Couple more squad players out the door and pretend that there is no one else available to improve on the squad. Also avoid any contract extensions. Job done for the summer. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We usually pivot hard from this kind of debacle. Wouldn't be surprised to see us wrap up the Georgian keeper sharpish, then hope to throw the farm at Gordon.

[Trojan1892]

Zubimendi’s agent has played a blinder.

[El Dangerous]

Tchouameni hasn’t had his turn at rejecting us this summer yet, no new signings until we’ve given him his chance!

The Chinese Farmer Story

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.”

The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.”

The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.”

The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”

Football is weird.

Who have your team bought?

Well, that's sound then.

[Red Phoenix]

There goes Zubi, time to sign Andre.

I like where you're going with this. So, we break a few legs and everything's cool, right?

 

Let's start by I Tonya-ing Rodri.

Phew! Bullet dodged that they didn’t spend the £50m on Zubimendi then. Bit careless over the last week to forget that we didn’t need him, though.

It’s every single time, we need them out we really do.

Rinse and repeat every fucking transfer window. Player X can save Liverpool millions.

Do you actually think we're signing Gordon this summer? I don't see a world where we can have 6 forwards like we do. We’d probably manage to fuck up the negotiation with Newcastle as well. Any deal that isn't simple these last few years, we are probably not concluding it.

Who is Trey Nyoni highly related too? Shit just got real.
