We’ll tidy up Saturday’s loose ends shortly but, first, you may recall that yesterday I was torn between Scotland v Gibraltar in Euro 2016 or a potential Brentford v QPR / Fulham game in next season’s Championship. (Anything for a diversion from that Wolves result.)
Well this is what twenty-one years (and a whole load more prior to that solitary season) of Brentford playing outside the top two divisions does to you. On the plus side, at least it brought about a quick and easy resolution to the club v country conundrum.
To read the rest of this article, season 2013/14 is now available to download onto Kindle, in full. Containing previously unseen content, you can do so here for less than the cost of one matchday programme.
Thanks for reading over the course of the campaign. For now I need to make space on this page for any follow up. The ‘close season’ / World Cup columns continue in full, further on in this site.

pendant fact……‘The Express & Star’ (two of the most unlikely bed fellows you could ever imagine) : Actually Mr B, they are owned by the same nasty bloke – Richard Desmond … Nice article ! love Smiffy
Many thanks . Who am I to stand in the way of pedantry?
Duly noted – cheers
The Express & Star is owned by the Midland News Association which in turn is owned by the Graham family (and has been for over 100 years). I think it’s the biggest regional daily in England. I have it every day. They say really nice things about the Wolves and are not at all biased.
