Brentford two nil up and 45 minutes away from a spot in the Premier League! Come on lads! Been to see Brentford play more times than I have Tottenham. Be great to see them in the Premier.

B*ll*cks, I'm racist - get a Welsh team back there!..... :wink: :D

[EDIT] Seriously, it seems Brentford deserve it - not only 2-0 up, but having come so close in the past.... Last time against Fulham.

I understand from the news, that this match/promotion is worth something like £160 million to the winners - quite something!!

Yup, this is the most lucrative single game in world football for the winners.

15 minutes to go. 2 up. And Swansea a man down (very, very harshly I may add). Don't wanna jinx it but think we can say Brentford are coming to the Premier league.

Well if he does return to spurs then we can hopefully look forward to the rest of Dtaai Maai's report coming to fruition. :D
Latest reports are that Pochettino's return has been confirmed, and that he is bringing in Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Kean, Laporte, Varane, van Dijke and Manuel Neuer...

I still think it's unlikely, but it no longer looks like just a pipedream. I'll be chuffed to bits if it happens, but most importantly of all, would it persuade Kane, and maybe one or two others, to stick around, or maybe some other high-profile players to come in?

Of those other potential new managers, I think Roberto Martinez would be my pick of a not hugely impressive bunch.
This is the way

Honest question, within this world of overpaid prima donnas and corruption.....

"Poch" leaves - will HE pay anything when breaking his contact/resigning? He was paid off when sacked.....

^^No idea. Probably not, that will be covered by whichever club he goes to.
