Brentford 0 v Tottenham Hotspur 0 Premier League Matchweek 19 Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at the Brentford Community Stadium There may not have been much to watch in Brentford’s goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur, but there was plenty nevertheless for the two head coaches, Keith Andrews and Thomas Frank, to talk about over a beer after the match. Friendly from their work together for the Bees before Frank’s move to Spurs in the summer, they still live close to each oth

Baby it's cold outside. The Gtech hosts a chilly New Year's Day clash : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Brentford 0 Tottenham Hotspur 0 It's a mere 78 years since the Bees last beat Spurs at home. That's one that must remain on the bucket list for now after the drabbest of New Year's Day encounters. This Thomas Frank derby will not live long in the memory, with the freezing conditions further sapping the life from a hopeless contest. Brentford had the better of it but wer

Schade quickly had the Bees in the driving seat against a Bournemouth side without a win since late October - a run of eight games. Igor Thiago's simple p

Picture: @capitalfootball Thomas Frank has refused to condemn the lack of self-control that saw two Spurs players sent off in Saturday night's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Xavi Simons was red carded after 30 minutes for recklessly raking the calf of Virgil van Dijk and skipper Cristian Romero once again showed that he can be a liability at times when he petulantly kicked out at Ibrahima Konate to earn a second yellow. It was not a great night for

Brentford (0) 1 v Leeds United (0) 1 Henderson 70 Calvert-Lewin 82 By Kaz Mochlinski at the Brentford Community Stadium Premier League Matchweek 16 Jordan Henderson’s first goal for Brentford proved precious in picking up a point against Leeds United to take the Bees a little further from the threat of relegation in the lower reaches of the Premier League table. In a close encounter between two excellently-coached, well-organised and evenly-matched sides, Brentford took the l

Picture by @YTJourno Tottenham Hotspur ended a run of six home games in the Premier League without a win when they defeated Brentford 2-0 in N17 this afternoon. It comes on the back of a gutsy 2-2 draw at Newcastle United in midweek - when skipper Christian Romero scored twice and saved the day with a last minute overhead kick. This time, the plaudits went to Richarlison and Xavi Simons, who both scored in the first half. It was Simons' first goal for the club and brought b

Hey Noni, Noni : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Arsenal (1) 2 Merino 11, Saka 91 Brentford (0) 0 It was gritty rather than spectacular - but will do just fine as far as Arsenal are concerned. Successful seasons are built around games like these. Brentford made it tough work but in the end, it was a case of another day, another Mikel Merino header - plus a Bukayo Saka coup de grace to complete the job. Merino just loves this false nine role and his licence to drift in on

Brentford (0) 3 v Burnley (0) 1 Igor Thiago (pen) 81 Flemming (pen) 85 Igor Thiago 86 Ouattara 92 By Kaz Mochlinski at the Brentford Community Stadium Premier League Matchweek 13 Brentford added another home victory, with another Igor Thiago double, including another penalty, plus another stoppage time goal, as a very late, late show in the end ensured that Burnley were beaten 3-1. The Bees have now won five of the seven Premier League matches which they have played on their

From pulling off the unlikeliest of victories away at Man City on Tuesday night to crashing to a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.

By Alessandro Schiavone at Stade de Luxembourg Luxembourg 0-2 Germany Goals: Woltemade 49', 69' (G) Less than a week after scoring in Brentford's 3-1 win over Nick Woltemade's Newcastle United, Kevin Schade was lucky to have him as the Magpies behemoth netted a double to save Germany's blushes in a 2-0 win over Group A basement side Luxembourg. It was an unconvincing victory with the Germans making hard work of it all in the first-half when the Brentford winger was still on t
