   “The best season ever to be a Bee” – how right you are Jim. I keep telling my 10 year old son – it’s not normally like this following Brentford – well it hasn’t been for the 40 years I’ve going anyway!

   I couldn’t agree more. The best we’ve ever known.
   A very well written piece.

   Jim,
   Absolutely right on the button again, but what if Warbs, David Weir and crew take over at Fulham in June. We will witness what could have been the dynasty at Brentford happening just down the river – then we will see plenty more churlish comments hurtling from Craven Cottage, and they really will hurt.
   I just do not understand when a team has been build so well, so carefully and possesses enormous upside why anyone would cast aside with no obvious replacement, yet disclosed, the very on field management team that got Brentford to where it is today.
   We have a Chairman that regularly talks about Arsenal in his interviews and comments – do we as true Brentford supporters care anything or indeed have any interest in knowing anything about Arsenal – I think not. In the most recent interview I read the Chairman spoke more about Arsenal than about losing Warbs and his team, was vague about who will take over and when, let alone about how on earth Brentford will plan for on field next season with,as yet, no apparent leader about to be appointed. How does Brentford plan to stay in the Premier League if promoted and if not, how does Brentford plan to gain promotion next season. Surely these are the key issues right now (after the next six matches).
   We can bask in the glory of a wonderful victory over Fulham, but football can be cruel and roles could be so easily reversed next season if our Arsenal admiring Chairman and Benham have got it wrong.
   I have seen plenty of strange decisions during the 60+ years supporting Brentford but this one is baffling, particularly when the playing group is almost certainly the best during the 125 year history of Brentford.
   It really is Easter, so lets hope Benham and the Chairman can pull an outstanding rabbit out of the hat for the future of Brentford.

     Interesting comments David, I think Mark Warburton’s replacement could be………..Mark Warburton !! Fridays game was right up there as one of the greatest away days in my 46 years as a supporter ( Peterborough 92 was a bit special) but one of the most significant observations I made was Warbs highly passionate fist pump as he walk off the pitch. If we made the Premier League at the end of this brilliant season would he be to just walk away from the club ! I personally don,t think so.
