I remember thinking it's a little harsh.
It was just a throwaway comment from Keane later on where he was kind of slagging Ian Wright about it.
And then he just said, he just said, they'll eat him alive.
And I was thinking to myself, like, that's funny and all.
But actually, if you think about it, it's like, we should actually take...
the people from the dressing rooms more seriously in those regards.
They do know that no matter what Lima Senior comes in with, he will be taken a certain way by people, by footballers, by top-level footballers.
And there's nothing you can do about that.
There's no...
Brentford were brilliant against Chelsea in the G-Tech and they almost lost it in the last minute and then they came back and got the equaliser.
And I remember that was my first kind of inkling that Brentford were going to be okay this season.
I remember talking on the show because obviously they were hammered by Forrest in the first game of the season and everyone thought the worst.
And I remember watching it.
It was a Saturday night game.
Me and you have talked about it Ben, haven't we?
And I just remember thinking there was a sense that... That Nuno's Forrest.
It was.
Yeah.
this was a terrible one but their performance against Chelsea that night was just very tenacious and they just seemed like a better coach team than Chelsea and obviously it's going to be different at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea have a different coach but I just wouldn't write off Brentford getting something from this game I think that and look the Chelsea Brentford rivalry such as it is matters more to Brentford than it does to Chelsea they're aware of it Chelsea are like who are you lads
