Uwe Rosler. A pointing sort of manager
As they say ” we are too big for this league……the barcelona of the lower leagues”. Nonsense really but what a great start to the season yesterday. Brentford winning 2-0 against a decent yoevil team. Crowd of 6300. Great atmosphere. Team played well, worked hard and we saw one of the best celebrations ever seen at Griffin Park. double somersault and flip from Shaleum Logan, the right back who scored the second goal. A little story here. He was given a free transfer from Man city end of last season and is a bit like Ijah Anderson ( if anyone remembers him). Was frozen out at Man city and was not allowed to train with the first team ( suspect some things we dont know about). First goal was a penalty from Gary Alexander who was wearing what charles cruelly described as a turban ( 7 stiches from training accident, presume not a fialed lobotomy). Team were high tempo, and one of the most high tempo games seen for a long while. Yoevil, decent side but not brilliant finishers. Richard Lee made 2 good saves, and has emailed me again to ask if I mind him putting the photos I took and sent him on his website. Of course not!
So based on that have been in a very good mood all weekend. We walked 4 greyhounds today, all would audition well for Scooby doo, ears up and very lively. Tonight off to see Harry Potter in Esher.Another good thing is that we have this card called Tastecard ( costs £30 per year) and gets you 50% off food bill in lots of reastaurants. It is expanding big time and many that we go to are now part of this scheme. No catch at all. Tonight we will visit Red Peppers in Esher before the film.
I have to report a lost tortoise in Paley street. Charles tells me that said tortoise, large size, was allowed to roam and cannot be found. He also denies eating a crunchy cornish pastie with legs……..how exactly inside a house can one lose a tortoise? Questions may be asked!
Charles is coming to Spain with us when we go end of august, for a week. His car has problems, a clutch cable we think and Gary is going to sort him out otherwise he is fairly stuck!
More Brentford thoughts. Jake Reeves was not going to have a squad number but was given number 40, and made his professional debut yestreday and is superb!
