A letter from Gillingham...
Back in December, you might recall (but probably don't), my trip to watch Brentford beat Gillingham away, was soured by the fact I had to shell out £25 to watch the game from a temporary, open stand.

McDons' masterclass in thuggery
You may remember that, in January, I was all set to make my first trip to Brighton’s less-than-palatial Withdean Stadium before the snow put paid to that little jaunt.

Sticking it to Stimson...
Victory over Gillingham on Saturday could not have tasted much sweeter. As Brentford haven't had a chance to take on either of those twin sons of Satan, Fulham or Queens Park Rangers, in recent seasons we have been left scrabbling around to find a genuine local enemy.

Deadline day delights
As a hard-as-nails centre-back, John Terry is no stranger to committing fouls but it is, of course, his other kind of over-zealous tackle that has seen him hit the front and back pages this week (that’s my obligatory JT gag out the way – there will be a couple more later on so keep your eyes peeled).

On Saturday afternoon, without a football match to watch, I went to my local cinema to catch the recently released film, The Road.

When the football is frozen off...
Although you may not think it, with buses and cars sliding off the roads and children unable to attend school, the biggest inconvenience caused by the freezing conditions is to humble football columnists such as myself.

It's the season to not be jolly...
It is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men and all that nonsense but, for some reason, football managers always seem eager to play Scrooge at this time of year.
