Not my words, but those of BeesPlayer’s Mark Burridge after last season’s promotion showdown at Brammall Lane between Brentford and Saturday’s visitor’s, Sheffield United.
The game – which finished 10-9 to United (in terms of players left on the pitch) and 2-2 (in terms of goals) – was, quite literally, the match that had it all. Four spot kicks; three red cards; the Dave Kitson guide to sportsmanship and fairplay; a successful Marcello Trotta penalty (that’s not a typo); and the infamous Mr Keith Stroud as the man in the middle (file alongside Biggar, Atwell and d’Urso in the volume labelled: ‘incompetent’). That’s before you even look to factor in Bradley Wright-Phillips’ ecstasy inducing last minute equaliser that sent Bees fans home delirious and stopped United’s season dead in its tracks.
Can the weekend’s game come anywhere close to that?
