Transfer rumours and Brighton ticket updates

There’s been a lot of talk this week about ticket arrangements for Brentford’s visit to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The 2,378 tickets which had been available since before Christmas are sold out although the club updated their website yesterday with news that Brighton have given us more, taking our allocation beyond 2800.

Jack Whitehall challenges Cliff Crown as Bees win again

Brentford ran out 1-0 winners over Rotherham United in a game that was just one small part of a busy day for all things Bees related. With comedy legends coming out of our ears (not literally), Northern Ireland international Will Grigg and Matt Harrold involved in an unusual encounter when Crawley faced MK Dons and Clem doing his thing at Oldham Athletic, it’s been hectic.

Could Windy Millers stop the Bees from chuckling today?

Finally. Much as I love the FA Cup, the visit of Rotherham United sees Championship action return to Griffin Park after what seems an interminable wait . With our last two league games seeing Brentford’s great run of form ended by losses to Ipswich Town (a wake up call) and Wolves (unlucky) today sees a great chance to get back to winning ways.

Brentford are, of course, unbeaten in League action in 2015 (a stat too far?) and Rotherham sees us with the opportunity to pick up our first Championship points of the year. But will we do it?

Griffin Park? This. Is. Sparta!!

It’s a BBC special today. Whilst Brentford may have departed the FA Cup, I do need to give quick mention to the Beeb’s coverage of the fourth round where they have selected Cambridge United v Manchester United and the tie between the winners of Bristol City v Doncaster against West Ham or Everton as their two live games.

Whilst the fourth round is still being spread out over four days, that’s one less than the torturous drip feed of fixtures we had for the previous set of games. More importantly, they have given us games that the neutral might actually want to watch, compared to the all Premiership borefest that was Arsenal v Hull City last time out.

Arsenal and Manchester United show lure of the FA Cup

So the ultimate price of Brentford coming unstuck in the FA Cup third round was missing out on the chance to entertain Arsenal. Instead of Monsieur Wenger bringing his long coat and faulty glasses (“I didn’t see the incident”) to Griffin Park, it is Brighton and Hove Albion who will take on the Gunners in the next round.

Harlee – gutted

A bitter taste of Scottish whine as Brighton slam dunk da Bees

Whilst we’ll get to the final fall out from the Rangers / Lewis Macleod story in a moment, Saturday was all about the FA Cup third round as Brentford entertained Brighton. And promptly capitulated.

Except, Saturday wasn’t about the FA Cup third round. Infact it seems that this year Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday are about the FA Cup third round. Rather playing most games on the Saturday with a couple on Sunday, this normally fantastic occasion has been dragged out more painfully than the numerous episodes of Mrs. Brown’s Boys we had inflicted on us over Christmas.

Could Chris spur on Brighton at Brentford today?

I love the FA Cup third round. Whilst the TV companies are focusing on the potential potato skins faced by the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, there’s always a story.  With Brentford hosting fellow Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion, it is no different as the tie sees the return of Chris Hughton to Griffin Park.
