Brentford (H) 11.08.12 - Capital One Cup 1st Round

[tinned]

That's a bit pathetic if you aren't joking.

Should be a good game, nice weather and cheap entry, lets have it.

Exactly. Too nice to be stuck under a roof. Make the most of the good weather is what I say.

I'm sure people use the "you're only young" line in you all the time but I was EXACTLY like you at your age, NOTHING would keep me away. Now, plenty of things have as much pull as a sure to be dull cup game.

Home of the base tan.

Can't wait.

Don't do friendlies just so that I can get that box fresh new season feeling.

Big game this. Progression will mean extra budget. Progression with a good draw and a telly game could be a season changer. So if you're undecided - get down there.

1-1 (OG)
1-0 pens to us (Flo)

Dean Smith to conduct his teamtalk in song "I'll keep Holden on" he'll sing a la Mick Hucknall.
Steve Bull to be paraded round the pitch lead by rope pulled through his nose-ring to make the Hereford contingent feel at home.

[Ken Barlow]

First competitive game of the season, personally I am looking forward to it.

2-1 to Walsall.

Then JB will waltz into the changing rooms and break into, "Money's too tight to mention"! :D

Does our season ticket qualify for this game? They usually do for the first home cup game of the season but have not heard this for this game.

It doesn't, unfortunately.

I agree Ken, it's lovely to start a new season on a beautiful freshly lined out emerald green pitch with the players (and most of the fans) sporting tans.
Not to mention the new kit and being fit and injury free and ready to go.
I reckon (without knowing anything about Brentford and knowing little more about how our lot will go in a competitive match) that we will shade it 1-0.
Go fellas!

[latviancheese]

Actually gutted i cant go now, but will deffo be at the Donny game.

:(

Cant call this one anyway, so ill just say 4-4 draw.

[latviancheese]

Oh and the best games are on cold wet tuesday nights!

Walsall 3 - 1 Brentford, Grigg hattrick

Ill bet you 50 quid Grigg doesnt score a hat trick in his whole career.

Sorted, 'whole career' yeah?

He'll bang a magnificent hat trick for Stafford rangers some where down the line.

I'm sure he got one for the reserves last season.

Actually, come to think of it, I think I was there :?

3-1 defeat.
Taken apart down the wings.
Unable to hold the ball upfront.

[Optimistic]

Taken apart down the wings.
Unable to hold the ball upfront.

We will fly down the wings with skill and flair weaving past defenders and passing the ball to central midfield and back again.

There will be no need to hold the ball upfront it will be in the net or out for a corner or goal kick as soon as its near the area.

I can see a pacy game and plenty of goals in this one. 3-2 The Saddlers Brandy 2 Flo 1 or maybe even 4-2

Call me Optimistic if you like.

I'm sending for a medical practioner right now, Im sure they will help you regain some sort of mental stability over a period of time...in the meantime, keep away from football grounds, particularly around Bescot Crescent!! :lol: :lol:

An optimist eh? AND a Walsall supporter, hmmmm, sorry that just dow gell my friend :?

[JonnyOwen]

Brentford fans are very confident of them winning comfortably. :shock:
"Walsall 0, Brentford 8.
Seriously."

[Darth Vader]

I hope we've got the option of shandy in the away bar for these SOUTHERN POOFS.

But it's only a tenner in anyway.

Revenge is what they're after, pure and simple.....in League Division III (South) we thumped them 7-0 or 7-1 :lol: :lol:

Without looking it up, never could remember - one was Brentford and the other was Millwall, same season, 7-0 and 7-1. Happy days!!!!
