For the second season in a row, Brentford played a hard-fought battle against a strong Tottenham team losing 3-2 in a behind-closed-doors match played at the Tottenham training ground.
Spurs fielded a strong side against the Bees which is a testament to how they viewed the opposition.
Spurs went 1-0 up through a Gareth Bale goal but Bees fought back with goals from the new boys – a long range strike from Alan McCormack and a penalty from Will Grigg who’s initial shot was hand balled by Caulker. Brentford went into half-time 2.1 to the good.
Spurs threw on Jermaine Defoe at half time and looked much more potent up front – with Defoe scoring a brace.
Information on this game is pretty sketchy but we will fill in with more news as and when we get it.
Spurs 1st half team: Friedel, Naughton, Dawson, Caulker, Rose; Mason, Huddlestone, Bentaleb; Lennon Bale Obika
Spurs 2nd half team: Archer, Smith, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Stewart; Parker, Carroll, Sigurdsson; Townsend Defoe Ceballos
Thanks to our man in the Spuds camp @themilts for the match tip-off
If this match is anything to go by, Brentford should certainly give Celtic a run for their money on Saturday 20th. Tickets are still available by the way.

Just get rid of Huddlestone for Christ sake……and dempsey
Stromg side? Each of those sides contained 2-3 first team players. Love how small clubs get carried away when they almost do something against one of the big boys. Also, why do you have to refer to us as Spuds? We have hosted you at our training ground which is nicer than Griffin Park and gave your much lesser players a chance to rub shoulders with elite players and all you can do is abuse.
Pathetic article.
Steve
We can only apologise. The printing of the name “spuds” was a genuine mistake .. An autocorrect on the iPad which went unnoticed.
We would have corrected it immediately if pointed out politely but seeing as you have conducted yourself with the usual pomp and circumstance we are used to from a number of (not all we hasten to add) premiership fans intent in highlighting the supposed gulf between your ‘elite’ players and our wee worthless minions, we have decided to childishly leave the Spuds reference in … As we have seen it properly winds you up
Enjoy the rest of your summer holiday Steve.
Seems like he’s got a right CHIP on his shoulder.
Shame on you saying get rid of Hudds we need is passing to get the ball away from energy abusers and find space for our runners Bale Lennon co. Or it will be pass pass six or more then when we get in the area its filled with defenders or Dawson lamps it to opposition. You have been warned Sunderland with there wingers will beat us with quarter back Hudds in there midfield and i will be back E
hi Steve
I’m single and bored. You’ve got a tremendous attitude. I give a great massage AND I like potatoes. Care to chat?

One night, the Potato family sat down to dinner–Mother Potato and her three daughters. Midway through the meal, the eldest daughter spoke up. “Mother Potato?” she said. “I have an announcement to make.”
“And what might that be?” said Mother, seeing the obvious excitement in her eldest daughter’s eyes.
“Well,” replied the daughter, with a proud but sheepish grin, “I’m getting married!”
The other daughters squealed with surprise as Mother Potato exclaimed, “Married! That’s wonderful! And who are you marrying, Eldest daughter?”
“I’m marrying a Russet!”
“A Russet!” replied Mother Potato with pride.
“Oh, a Russet is a fine tater, a fine tater indeed!”
As the family shared in the eldest daughter’s joy, the middle daughter spoke up. “Mother? I, too, have an announcement.”
“And what might that be?” encouraged Mother Potato.
Not knowing quite how to begin, the middle daughter paused, then said with conviction, “I, too, am getting married!”
“You, too!” Mother Potato said with joy. “That’s wonderful! Twice the good news in one evening! And who are you marrying, Middle Daughter?”
“I’m marrying an Idaho!” beamed the middle daughter.
“An Idaho!” said Mother Potato with joy. “Oh, an Idaho is a fine tater, a fine tater indeed!”
Once again, the room came alive with laughter and excited plan for the future, when the youngest Potato daughter interrupted. “Mother? Mother Potato? Um, I, too, have an announcement to make.”
“Yes?” said Mother Potato with great anticipation.
“Well,” began the youngest Potato daughter with the same sheepish grin as her eldest sister before her, “I hope this doesn’t come as a shock to you, but I am getting married, as well!”
“Really?” said Mother Potato with sincere excitement. “All of my lovely daughters married! What wonderful news! And who, pray tell, are you marrying, Youngest Daughter?”
“I’m marrying a SPURS FAN!”
“A SPURS FAN?!” Mother Potato scowled suddenly. “But he’ll be just a common tater!”
Pathetic excuse, WillythePee.
Spurs is a word by itself so I don’t see how it was auto-corrected. You even had it capitalised.
Leave it anyway. I expect such behaviour from you. Lose a game, a pre-season one at that and that’s where you can try to “score” one back to even the game 3-3! Lol
Spuds is also a word and therefore a typo would not be picked up by the spell checker. The D and the R are very close together on the keyboard. God forbid anybody should make a mistake.
Steve is hilarious. WillythePee indeed. Comedy genius.
