Pressed us all the way and very effective on the counter.
I honestly dont think we'll see a better performance against us at LR this year.
Why them?
Dejected. |  | | |  |

There's nothing "so-called" about us being local? Just look at a map and you'll see we are. Many fans of both sides live in the same areas, socialise and work together, and most of them enjoy having the bragging rights within their area. Many R's supporters do care, but it also hurts them as it highlights their fall from the top flight, so they try to pretend it doesn't.
When Benrahma scored his penalty, he rushed over to hug Peter Gilham our stadium announcer........ why? because Peter Gilham and many older supporters like him remember 1967, I don't, but I appreciate it is the big reason why our rivalry against QPR is more passionate than yours. |
Isn't the whole 1967 thing based on a myth that we were predatory in trying to take you over, when it was your Chairman that approached Jim Gregory, to try and sell him your ground as it was, at the time, bigger and superior to ours. | | | |

Don't think we will have to worry about the rivalry for much longer as I believe they are capable of going up this year. Just one last shot at Griffin Park. We will have to try and build on what we have, see if we can afford to strengthen in January or if not next summer. | | | |

I checked the map and your postcode is TW8. To qualify as our local derby you must at least be in London.
As for the so called rivalry, check out the opening line from your match commentator:
https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2019/october/qprbre-match-highlights/
" The rivalry that seems to mean a little bit more to Brentford fans than Queens Park Rangers fans".
In short, QPR fans don't give a flying fook about Brentford; never have, never will. He knows it, I know it and you know it too. |  | | |

He said "a little bit more" not a flying fook. I work with three QPR fans and they do see the rivalry but they also know there's plenty of R's fans who can't wake up and smell the coffee now we are plying our trade in the same division. I can see that having to admit you're now living with us, Fulham, Millwall and Charlton instead of Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea might hurt as it reminds you of your fall from the top flight, but just be thankful it's not AFC Wimbledon or Leyton Orient yet.
Technically all clubs in the Championship should be your rivals, but one three miles away and sharing the same catchment areas for supporters certainly is, but sure make up your own mind, but don't think you can quote for all QPR fans. | | | |

I have a lot of mates through playing football, golf, work etc and genuinely do not know a single Brentford fan. What is their catchment area? Honest question | | | |

I'm like that with Palace, although I did meet a Palace fan in Leicester Square once - his name was Graham and he was a tramp - had a badge on. Many Brentford supporters round my way in Hillingdon. Alongside Fulham, they are the two best supported teams in our cricket club bar. |  |

It DOES matter to me. That game was f cking horrible. We have absolutely no right to look down on our nose at ‘little’ Brentford. We need to wake up....this lot regularly turn up against us and we don’t. It’s unacceptable. Period. .....and MW absolutely has to get that defence sorted. It’s a shambles - we cannot keep conceding goals at the current rate. |
Brentford's squad have had investment, is settled and have come into form at the right time. Anyone that plays us knows that with pressure our defence will buckle. Of course they were going to be up for it. The fixture being a derby against deluded neighbours is an additional incentive.
They even ran to the bench to celebrate the 3rd and rubbed Warburton's nose in it. Felt sorry for the guy when he was interviewed after the game.
We need to stop conceading goals and fast because our fixture list over the next month is tough. | | | |

Far from a settled side, infact only two of the players out there Monday night were in the squad who played at Loftus Road last season.
I think you'll find it was the 2nd goal, and it had nothing to do with rubbing MW's nose in it as I explained in a previous post. | | | |

A myth!, best you check the facts. |
Yes I have checked the facts and the 'takeover' was instigated by your owner, Jack Dunnett, approaching and getting into talks with Jim Gregory. Obviously it developed into a negotiation from there about Jim buying the club lock, stock and barrel.
I remember the save Brentford fund and the ladder with the target on behind the main stand. Seem to remember the debt was in five figures, maybe £60k, although not sure.
Think the fund was to repay the supporters/businessmen who bought out Dunnett.
Interesting that very soon after, Dunnett went on to own Notts County and that he started a save the club fund there and they reached the old first division. I seem to remember that one of your managers around that time, Jimmy Sirrel, went from Brentford to Notts a year or two after. Think he became a bit of a legend there. | | | |

A commentator on the official Brentford site saying "a little bit more" is tantamount to admitting that QPR fans are distinctly non-plussed by Brentford's imaginary rivalry.
Any rivalry we have is the same one that we share with every other championship team courtesy of being in the same division. You may view the match as a local derby but we place no extra importance on the Brentford game compared to say, Barnsley, because ultimately it's still 3 points at stake. If you offered QPR fans the choice of winning every game this season bar the 2 against Brentford, they'd bite your hand off.
If it's any consolation, a lot of QPR fans imagine a rivalry with Chelsea that also isn't reciprocated. The difference is I don't go trawling the Chelsea forums trying to stoke one up. The fact that you spend the best part of your week on QPR message boards whilst I've never set foot on a Brentford fanzine says everything you need to know about our "rivalry".

There you go again quoting "we" when you mean "I", you're entitled to your view but I know planty of R fans who like a bit of bragging rights in the local area as I guess you did once upon a time with Chelsea.
We have regular R's who post on our forums, have done for years, we don't mind as long as they talk sense and don't get abusive, surely it's good to get views from opposition fans . | | | |

There you go again trying to stoke up a rivalry that we QPR fans are simply not interested in. We don't mind reasonable, constructive and lucid views from sensible opposition fans. However, we're not interested in the illogical ramblings of a delusional bore peddling mythical tales of rivalry and immaturely revelling in imaginary bragging rights. I'm pretty sure you can find someone to entertain with your wonderful fairy-tales in any one of the now world famous 4 corner pubs. | | | |
