Firstly I'd like to welcome our new manager, Chris! Welcome aboard the gravy train.

As for the match I know next to nothing about the details (if someone could kindly post them later it'd help)

Good luck to the boys today, well done for everyone who is going!

Sami? Is that you? It's just that that's such a poor effort that it mirrors your ability to put out a winning team - close to zero. Hang on - it can't be Sami; you acknowledge that it's a poor effort. Sami never did.

Question - whats the best way to get to Griffin Park by train. Change at Clapham Junction for a train to Brentford ?

That's what we did for our first match but its a long wait on the platform after the game didn't get back to Clapham until 6pm

If you travel via South Ealing, for ****s sake don't drop in to Roddy's Bar - it's a little poor as a drinking establishment. Moving on very soon.

Some nice pubs in Kew just across the river about a mile from the ground

Ealing Park Tavern is a bit better, but has rather too many kids in.

FA CUP THIRD ROUND
Venue: Griffin Park Date: Saturday, 3 January Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

Brentford new boy Lewis Macleod will have to watch from the sidelines when they host Brighton in the FA Cup.
Scotland Under-21 midfielder Macleod has joined the Bees for an undisclosed fee from Rangers but will not be eligible to play at the weekend.
Boss Mark Warburton is poised to make one or two changes which could mean a first start of the season for winger Sam Saunders, who has made three substitute appearances - and scored two goals - since returning from a long-term knee injury.
Right-back Alan McCormack (ankle) and striker Scott Hogan (knee) remain in the treatment room.

New Brighton manager Chris Hughton has a much-changed squad for his first game in charge.
The Seagulls have lost Darren Bent, Greg Halford, Gary Gardner and Elliott Bennett, who have all returned to their parent clubs following the end of their loan spells.
Hughton can welcome back midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey, who missed Monday night's 2-0 win at Fulham through illness.
But skipper Gordon Greer remains a doubt with a knee injury, fellow defender Bruno completes a three-match ban and Kazenga LuaLua, Andrew Crofts (both knee) and Dale Stephens (ankle) are still absent. Chris said "The FA Cup is as exciting as any league game," said Hughton, who won the competition twice as a Tottenham player in 1981 and 1982.
"I want us to do well in it."

Mark Warburton says Brentford will be going all out for FA Cup success even though his side are somewhat surprisingly engaged in a promotion push,
The Bees are currently riding high in the Championship, having won promotion from League One last season to cap a superb management debut for Warburton, who stepped up from coach just over a year ago when Uwe Rosler left for the Wigan job.
Despite losing their past two games, the Bees are sixth, after a run of seven wins in eight games, and looking forward to their Cup clash with Brighton, who have just appointed Chris Hughton as manager.

Warburton said: “The FA Cup is important to us and we take it very seriously.
“It's the world's oldest cup competition, we've got a home draw so we need to apply ourselves appropriately at Griffin Park.”
Brentford beat Brighton 3-2 at home last September but Warburton says it will count for nothing in The Cup.
Warburton added: “Brighton are struggling in the league at the moment but they possess a lot of quality, and we know the threat they pose.
“But if we apply ourselves properly and get the result we want, we are in the hat for the next round and then who knows what can happen? We might get a Premier League side as another strong test.”
It has been a whirlwind start in management for Warburton, who worked as a trader in the Stock Exchange before making a dramatic career change moving into football, first as a youth coach at Watford and then Brentford.
He said: “I have no regrets. It was tough at first but it is all worthwhile.
“These boys have tremendous character and we're in good shape. They got their just desserts with promotion last summer, after missing out on the final day the season before, and now we are in the Championship on merit.
“They might have lacked a bit of self-belief in the first few games, but they very quickly realised they belong at this level, and I'm really pleased with the start we have made.”

Me also.

Fingers crossed it goes better than his first game with Norwich when they lost 5-0 to Fulham!
