Turn left for Brentford beating Fulham. Turn right for Sergi Canos to Valencia.

That’s been quite the last couple of days in West London. West London club Brentford won the West London derby at a canter after humping Fulham 3-0 in their own backyard (a result that leaves us the best placed club in West London, as it stands – currently fourth in the Premier League table following Monday’s win for Arsenal at Crystal Palace). The other major talking point being the departure of Sergi Canos for Valencia. The player who first arrived at Griffin Park back in 2015 fast became a cult hero and leaves with only 12 players having scored more goals for the Bees in our entire history.

We wrote all about what Sergi had acheived at Brentford earlier in the year when his departure for Olympiacos was being heavily touted by the rumour mill. About his impact on, and off, the pitch. About just some of those quite incredible strikes. Arsenal still sends shivers up the spine but it is by no means alone. How DID he score that goal at Reading? If he does half as well at Valencia their fans are in for a treat.

Then there was the four mile trip across West London on Saturday. If you went to Fulham you are probably still buzzing. If you didn’t then I am sure the highlights have since been viewed. In the end, it was a victory that came at a canter. Brentford looking more and more comfortable with every passing moment. A red card for the visitors not helping their cause although allowing yours truly the chance for another awful / awesome ‘dad joke’ in the post match debrief and player ratings piece.

And to make everyone’s life easier, should you want to catch up on either then the chance is here. Via hyperlink rathe than two dice, a pencil and an eraser.

Turn left (metaphorically speaking) for the Fulham look back.

Turn right for the Sergi Canos nostalgia fest.

Whichever, if either, you pick – enjoy ! Until then, here’s to Crystal Palace on Saturday..
