Excellent article Jim agree with all of it .The racist stuff is getting to a point where I think it should be ignored as these cretins will never change and I’m sure they’ get off on this making headline news.Ignore them until these platforms reform and these scumbags can be identified and prosecuted.
The worse that can happen this season is we end up starting our 8 th consecutive season in the championship in August which in it self is a great achievement.I don’t see much of the poison that is posted on social media regarding our Club ,management and players as I mainly stick to GPG that is well managed so we don’t have to endure the racists but even on there the unbalanced criticism and unrealistic expectations is growing.
Will be very interesting if we are still in the championship if Thomas wants to stay for another challenge especially as I expect he will lose a few of our best players again.Let’s not forget he’s done a better job than Dean Smith (who was great for us)and look what he’s gone on to achieve.I would think he has quite a few admirers from club owners.
Regarding social media, the official posts from BFC are often over hyped spin and the interviews with TF are not searching enough . This leads to many of over the top posts from others.
In my own opinion the official posts sometimes come over as arrogant. This of course does not excuse the tasteless responses from the minority of followers.

Spot on
The general consensus is that this years team is not as good as last years. Last year we achieved 81 points, our best achievement in 80 years. We are on 70 points at present with 7 games to go if we win 2 of those and draw the other 5 we will have achieved the same total 2 years running in the most difficult of circumstances and that’s even after selling our 2 best players.
For me that’s success and something that should be applauded not derided.
Our problem is that we achieved too many points too soon – if the recently dropped points were amassed over the course of the season and we had been on a more even trajectory I’m sure that the criticism would have been less.
Yes I too am distraught at our recent loss of form but let’s have some perspective on it – there’s not too much wrong with our club these days.
Bottle up the frustration, sleep on it – it’ll make you feel a lot better.
I walk around Brentford and South Ealing every day wearing my large winter overcoat with its Brentford badge standing out clearly. Every time I go out, people pass and smile, give me a thumbs-up or wish me and the Club well. The most important sign of our recent success is when you see so many children living locally, wearing Bees shirts, scarves and hats. Its not so long ago that when I was standing on the Ealing Road open terrace aged 40+ I was one of the youngest there – by about two decades! We are now placed third in the Championship, have many exciting young players coming through the B team, are spoken about in glowing terms in the football world, have a brand new stadium, a remarkable training and management team, and a few players who once again will move on for high fees that will help to keep the club in rude financial health. Surely these are the glory days for us Bees fans, following several decades of underperforming and frankly, of being completely ignored as a club by others. Well said Jim for your dose of realism and positivity.
And its all thanks to one fan ,a certain Mr Benham .
This is an absolutely brilliant article. I remember the days scouring the newsagent for the Middlesex Chronicle Jim, you always were worth a read. Perfectly judged the temperature as I feel it. I’m sad to hear that a staff member felt and said those things but they were bang on in everything said.
We have MUCH to like.
On the racism, it’s my personal view that the pandemic and related lockdowns have been the perfect environment for this cowardly scum to form. If we were in the stadium, it would be shouted down and thrown out.
Can’t wait to get back with true Bees fans and enjoy the football together soon.
