FC Brentfjord - Official Premier League Topic

I can't believe Romaine Sawyers is only 26. It seems like he's been around forever. I think you may be able to keep Mepham given his age and lack of first team experience. It's only going to be beneficial for you in the long term as his value will go up season upon season. -
FC Brentfjord - Official Premier League Topic

Given how the first two months of the season went, Brentford have done fantastic to be in this position at this stage of the season. I feel they've benefitted by going under the radar as the press have focused on Bristol City, Sheffield United and Millwall at stages of the season and i'ts allowed to Brentford to go about their business quietly. An interesting summer ahead if they don't make the playoffs. I imagine the relegated teams will be looking at Ryan Woods. That said, there scouting system deserves a ton of credit when you consider how they've replaced those that have moved on over the previous three seasons. -
Croydon population seems to be moving everywhere other than West at the moment as it's too expensive. People our age that are in a position to get a mortgage tend to go Crawley way, people that work in the City are either going Bromley or moving in to the City, whilst those relying on the council seem to end up in Stretham / Thornton Heath. Croydon in general is an area populated with people that didn't grow up in Croydon. You take the piss but Croydon as an area is on the up. House prices are increasing in Croydon more steady than most other areas due to all the rebuilds that have caused an influx of property investment. Westfield is going to be a game changer too. You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter.

The following that used to drink in the White Hart went to The Maverick. They were like The Grim Reaper of Pubs They predominantly drink in what was the Blackmoore's and that seems to have a name change every other year. The Cap In Hand has now gone too, but for some reason they always struggled for business unless it was Christmas Eve. Even though it was a Weatherspoons in a goodish location. From what i've heard The Lucky Rover struggles as the landlord is regularly outside having a go at people drinking at the bus stop. The North Star is my preference when I go home, that or i'd go Surbiton.

Predominantly The 'New' Estate but most of my friends lived round Moor Lane or Hunters Road. I probably have mutual friends (Or my family will) with any people you know that live in Chessington because of the community it is, every time I go home I'll go to The North Star or William Bourne and I'll know 5+ people that aren't with me.

Wrong side mate.

Give academy players the chance and they impress. Who would have thought?

Superstar Shakeup for Raw was interesting. For Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, The Fashion Police, Dolph Ziggler, Natalya and Mojo Rowley. I reckon the brand switch has happened at the correct time to help their current characters progress against different competition in a different environment. For Baron Corbin, I think this is going to be rejuvenation he needs to get his career back in to a position he was expecting to be at. For Drew McIntyre and Bobby Roode, I'm concerned they could get lost. Raw already has a lot of heavy hitters and muscular superstars. It makes me believe they would benefit more on Smackdown. However, as for The Riott Squad, Zack Ryder, The Ascension, Chad Gable and Mike Kanellis. I genuinely don't see the point in them moving and believe they would be better staying on Smackdown.

I have no idea why you two just haven't put each other on ignore.

Not sure how long this deal is. I imagine they're paying him a short time bomb to keep the Saudis sweet for their pay per view. There's a rumour Vince lost it at Brock for how dangerous he was with Roman. Looking at some of the bumps it's lucky that Roman wasn't injured.

This is the first time I've enjoyed the build up since WM30 in all honesty. There's still the bullshit politics with Shane, Triple H, Brock and Roman but they're doing enough right with AJ, Nakamura, Strowman, the women etc to keep me interested.

You're both good members when you're not trying to goad each other like some ufc rejects on bellator.

You mention this to the point where people are going to start questioning if you're jealous.

Whilst five hours of that was a bit too much I thought the show went well. Rhonda and Daniel Bryan rightfully got there moments. I didn't see Charlotte, Brock or AJ winning, or the eventual heel turn. The Nia Jax storyline told a good story, and the Brawn Strowman match was a good way to break up the show a little. I can live with Harper and Rowan getting recognition too. The only match I didn't really like was the United States title match. Really don't get what Rusev has to do to get over. It seemed like to me everybody lowered their standard to allow Jinder to compete. I'd give it an 8/10. Mainly because it was too fucking long.

NXT as expected was awesome. The Bazler/Moon match had to happen to get Moon her overdue call up. They've done a great job at making people care more about Almas and Black over the last year (even if Adam Cole Baybay should be Champion). Also, ive never seen a ladder match where you would not have been annoyed which one of the six won because they all deserved it. The Roderick Strong heel turn was unexpected yet very well done and makes sense. Whilst the main event was the perfect choice to conclude whats been a very good storyline, I've always been a fan of Johnny Gargano but im still surprised at how over he now is with all the fans as a face. I expect Gargano, Ciampa, Sanity, Almas, Ember Moon, Peyton Royce and Billy Kay to get call ups in the next couple of weeks. I watched the pre show for Wrestle Mania and i was happy with it. The Matt Hardy / Bray Wyatt was cool and interesting, the ending to the women's battle royal was good with a satisfying winner, and the Cruiserweight Tournament final was a good watch. Looking forward to the rest.

Reiss Nelson close to signing a new contract. Learning lessons from letting Callum Willock leave.

Auba has said today that the criticism towards Wenger has been unfair. I bet he's waited ages to be in a position of respect with the fans to say that.

Really looking forward to this WrestleMania. Seems like they've listened to crowd reactions a lot more than previous years.
