They had a successful season all around.

If you were to go back at the start of the season and say to

Machi Benham and the owners at Brentford that they would have a season like they've had they probably would have taken it in terms of finishing 9th 53 points well clear relegation and missing out on European football by goal difference and that's what I was going to come on to so obviously the goalposts do move as far as seasons go you know you find yourself in positions and you have to take those opportunities when they come

I'm just looking, and it's not to take away, and I would want to end on a high note as far as Keith Andrews is concerned, because he's done a brilliant job.

He has done a brilliant job.

But if I take you back to the start of March, they played Bournemouth away, drew 0-0.

Then they played Wolves at home, drew 2-0.

They played Leeds away, drew 0-0.

They played Everton at home, drew 2-0.

They played Fulham at home, and they drew 0-0.

All those draws...

I really watched, I mean, Bern Leno making an absolutely outrageous save at the end of that game against Fulham.

They then had a 2-1 loss away to Manchester United.

They had a big win then against West Ham, of course, well beaten by Manchester City.

Yeah, and then moving towards the end of the season in the last two games, two-all draw at home to a beached Palace, I suppose, and then a one-all draw away to Liverpool, so...

too many draws too many draws that's just what it is yeah exactly and if they just you know turned some of those draws into wins they would have been in the Bournemouth position yeah exactly they could have been going for Champions League football in the last thing but like that's just the fine margins especially in that middle pack of the Premier League where it's super competitive and it's more competitive than it's ever been this season in particular like you're looking between you'd probably say Bournemouth there who are 6th who have finished 6th with 57 points 5 points between them and 11th place Fulham

So you've got Chelsea, Brentford, Brighton, Sunderland all in the middle there.

And Liverpool were within that as well.

So were Everton and Newcastle up until the last kind of end of the season, I suppose.

This is the 48-team work-up group of dreams.
