Milking League Two success
While Mickey Rourke’s performance in The Wrestler has been rightly garlanded, there is plenty of talk about Sean Penn’s tour de force in the remake of Milk, the iconic advert featuring two kids discussing nutritional advice handed down to them by Ian Rush, pipping the rubber-faced funnyman to an Oscar later this month (Is this right, Ed?) Such was the milk advert’s impact on the nation’s consciousness, that the team might as well be called Accrington Stanley Who Are They? Exactly FC.

Andy Scott - the loan arranger
As London ground to a halt under a cold, white carpet this week, annoyingly for Brentford there was one outpost of the north-west left unaffected by this “weather event”.

Reffin' hell
For very good reason, I am not my usual sunny self this week and, like all Bees fans, it is “referee” Stuart Atwell who is the object of my ire.

Wise words on Morecambe
Morecambe’s success, along with that of several other former Vauxhall Conference stalwarts, including Barnet and Cheltenham Town, in establishing themselves in the football league makes it obvious that the difference in standard between the leading non-league clubs and Division Four is not that huge.

Beating bleating Chesterfield
I wonder if Chesterfield and their chubby manager Lee Richardson have calmed down yet. After Saturday’s game at Saltergate they were full of righteous ire because their player Jamie Lowry was taken to hospital after coming off second best in a showdown with a metal post.

Come friendly bombs fall on Lincoln
After a brilliant run of shows during Euro 2008, the BBC has made an untypically sensible decision to bring Danny Baker back as a regular presenter of Five Live’s 606 show.

Deadline day drama
Transfer deadline day is usually a strange one for Brentford supporters. It’s like having your nose pressed up against the window of China White watching Jermaine Pennant neck expensive cocktails and glad hand Hollyoaks actresses - despite the fact you know it’ll be a shallow and depressing experience, you wouldn’t mind being involved for an hour or two.

Hamer for England
Bees fans have had some pretty ridiculous chants in the past. The one about Danny Boxall being “the best full back in history” sung to to the tune of The Flinstones sticks in my mind and the whole Chompionees phenomeneon never ceased to raise a smile.

My sincere apologies
To begin with I must eat a slice of humble pie. A couple of weeks ago I had the temerity to lambast the Brentford marketing team for failing spot that I had yet to renew my season ticket. Well, what do you know? A couple of days after the paper hit the stands I received a letter from Andy Scott himself, complete with a lovely photo in case I didn’t know what he looks like, pleading with me to sign up for the new season.
