Incredibly unfortunate, it happened in the first half of his debut.

Can't forgive Brentford after this happened to me Ipswich two up, 92 mins played and I lose my 200/1 bet

Terribly unlucky....

I had to read his surname twice there, Bjelland......would of gone well with Bong and Dunk

 

[Worthing exile]

Was he under warranty?

 

[Munkfish]

How did it happen? was it anything to do with there shoddy pitch?

They're buying another one according to Twitter.
They've bought Maxime Colin from Anderlecht.

You can get 15/8 for them to finish in the bottom half. Tempting.

Brentford deserve to go down anyway after how they treated their manager who did so well for them last season. That sort of thing really annoys me. I think they are fools.

Defender signed from Anderlecht on a 4 year deal.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Knee-wise, a hyperextended Bjellend. That's a tough one for Brentford to swallow.

What are the odds for them finishing in the bottom three? Stranger things have happened.

The human body was not designed to play most of our sports at the current top level.

From a Brown University (Providence, RI) biomedical engineering class:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The frequency of soccer injuries is estimated at 10-35 per 1000 hours of competition, with the majority occurring in the lower extremities. Knee injuries account for 15-40% of soccer-related injuries.[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"[/FONT]

It's has got to be the most ridiculous sacking of last season. Their manager was doing a fantastic job. It's not going to well at the moment. These things have a tendency to come back and bit you on the back side.

Not one normally to be pedantic, but I remember reading it was a mutual parting of the ways as MW didn't want to work under the structure that the owner wanted to put in place. He understood why the owner wanted to go down that route, but he didn't want to be part of it. The fact that the owner, after the season they were having, chose to tear up the management structure was ridiculous in my view though

Got a colleague who's a fan and said similar when I questioned it.
