Been away the last few days, have I missed anything??...
Seriously, thank you for all your kind messages. It’s not been an easy couple of weeks but your support has meant the world to me.
Keep watching SSN - there are some amazing people there! Hopefully see you all soon x
People questioned why Brentford did a lap of honour after the Arsenal game? We’ve been doing it for years, win or lose. It’s our way of ensuring a connection between the fans & the team. It’s our special relationship. And it makes Woody’s, the fan here, & others’ day too! 🐝🐝🐝
Anyone who cheered on the moronic man who punched Jack Grealish is equally not a fan! What has football become when someone thinks it’s fair game to run on a pitch and punch someone? Shameful thuggery!
If theres anything that can come out of this tragic news this eve I hope its that we all need to show more kindness. Maybe before we speak or write we need to ask ourselves "is it true, is it kind, is it necessary or is it helpful? If the answer is no then maybe leave it unsaid"
Whatever happens tonight, I’ll miss the ol’ dear as we say goodbye to GP. That’s where I fell in love with football. So many memories I’ve been lucky to share with my dad and with my boy too ❤️
I’ve been trying to think of the right words but I feel sickened for Harriet Robson. She has been so brave and clearly needs support, as do thousands of those that are abused daily. Abuse is not normal. If you can get help pls try. If you can alert someone, anyone, do ❤️
Congratulations

Have to say it’s been some season for us and I’m truly proud that we caused a bit of a stir. Just wasn’t to be...

Disgraceful, shameful, selfish and just greedy...go and have this dull European Super League where all is at stake is who wins a mini tournament. Football is meant to unite but not so for some...when your bored of your new league, hopefully our pyramid will be closed to you...

Gutted by the news but understandable. Smith was never going to turn down his boyhood club. Not only are Villa getting a great manager but also a lovely man and family! Wish Smith all the success, except against the Bees!
A lovely story and after the show I had to give Christine a call to thank her for sharing her story. Seems as though this is a start of a new journey, home games first, she said, before making away trips

Commiserations to
@SwansOfficial
. Lots of positives to take forward into next season for you.
What goes through the mind of a supposed fan whose team has just won a significant game to then either attack/accost/taunt the rival team? Why wouldn't you want to celebrate your own side's success instead?
Without doubt the law change in penalties and goalkeepers is ridiculous imo. How can you be penalised for moving a few inches say? You’re now expecting goalkeepers to watch their feet and the ball at the same time. For me it’s a farcical rule change
Got them promoted in 2017, FA Cup semi-finalists for the first time in 36 years this year & secured another season in the Premier League for 2019/20. From the outside looking in it seems incredibly harsh for
#BHAFC
to sack Chris Hughton. Brighton fans whats your take?
Delighted for Aston Villa and for Dean Smith. Yes, I was gutted he left us for the Villa but how can you begrudge what he’s achieved! Over the course of a season it is a deserved promotion for them...
Btw as Brentford fans know what you’re seeing on social media of Benrahma or indeed in the Fulham game tonight live was merely a fluke. He’s really not that good so don’t bother making any transfer enquiries - cheers 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
So lovely to see so many Brentford fans happy that Ollie Watkins not only made his England debut tonight but also scored. Goes to show the impact he made on and off the pitch that we all want to see him do well. A humble guy who worked so hard.
Once a Bee, always a Bee 🐝🐝👌🏻
I realise this is a fluid time but how the
@premierleague
can postpone a game so close to midnight when they knew it was more than likely going to be cancelled is just so poor. With fans making arrangements that now might not be refundable why not make the decision earlier?
I know Hammers fans’ view but this is a bold and much needed statement from the captain echoing supporter anger/disappointment. It does feel like a barmy sale!
I love a good debate and think it’s healthy. It would be boring if we all agreed on the same thing but when someone turns to misogyny then you’ve lost and should be called out! More drivel that so many of us have to put up with - this from my time travelling friend from the 1950s
Football’s back!!!!! Who’s excited?! Hoping for plenty of ups with the Bees this time around!
🐝⚽️🐝⚽️🐝! Best of luck to your team this season, just not if you’re playing us! C’mon

Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy 🎄
To those having to work today, thank you & hope you get to celebrate soon 🥂
Thinking of those missing loved ones 🌟
And to those who may be struggling, there are people out there who love you. Let them help you rather than miss you ❤️
I still cannot get my head around Naked Attraction...and the fact that people don’t mind getting naked on tv!!! It’s bizarre telly but very brave of those that do
Just watched the I Believe in Miracles documentary on Nottingham Forest. Highly recommend it. Wonderful insight, absolutely charming with a superb soundtrack too

West Ham, a team that likes to ruin records….City in the League cup and now Liverpool’s unbeaten start…
Can’t argue that David Moyes and his team have propelled their side to be a force…
They’re brilliant
Wonderful cup upsets today. Let’s hope Cambridge, Boreham Wood & Kidderminster get the draws they deserve so they can get the financial incentives of being on TV….keep the cup magic!

Such a shame to hear the news about Andy Murray. A wonderful player who’s heroics brought so much joy to tennis fans. His achievements are incredible and delivering a Wimbledon title, not once but twice are occasions I’ll never forget. He is a hero!
Merry Christmas to you🎄
I know this one is different but we will have brighter days ahead 🌈
If this year is tough, please know there is always someone to talk to whether it’s family or friends & if not there are lots of wonderful charities to lift spirits.
Love to you all❤️
Off to watch the final game of the season for the Bees. Shame to not have the playoffs to contend but it’s been another good season with plenty of positives. If you’re heading to a game then enjoy and best of luck if your team has promotion or relegation issues at stake!
We may have lost but I’m still delighted by the performance of
@BrentfordFC
. Especially as the eleven that started have never all played together before. Gave it a go! Good luck to

Wow what a night for both Liverpool and Tottenham. Coming away with a draw at Barcelona is massive for Spurs. Yes, Barca made changes to their team but they also brought on key personnel to get the win. Spurs deserved more from their performance that was full of spirit and desire
Great fun to be on

Just wondering did UEFA specify fans had to arrive, lets say, 3 hours before kick off? Blaming the fans is easy when perhaps it’s better planning that was needed?

For many today was meant to be the final weekend of the regular EFL season. Promotion, playoffs and relegation to be settled. We of course have a different, more important fight on our hands now but I hope one day Griffin Park will get the send off it deserves before we leave
If Forest can say they’ve never shithoused in a game then fair play to them. But complaining about something that happens in games every day is 😂. If the moving of the foam is the problem, then how many defenders in the wall ignore it, scuff it, and/or shuffle forward.
Excl:

first goal. Ref told club officials post match it isn’t under VAR remit. Forest want answers on whether Toney broke the rules, and if VAR could have intervened.
