🚨Announcement:

I’m delighted to say that I’ve joined the @standardsport as a Football Reporter✍️

It’s hard to explain quite how much this means, but I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity.

More than anything, though, a huge thanks to everyone at the @hounslowherald 👏

[Sam Tabuteau @tabuteauS]

Appears to have been a concerted effort from Brentford to add strength in depth. Brentford’s bench options have always felt light and that is of course an issue that isn’t helped by their wage bill. But the additions of Wilson and Anthony mark a change.

“I saw that same lionhearted spirit in Arthur Fery (OK 2020) on Centre Court today.

“Arthur showed great resilience and determination, and I congratulate him on how far he has come. We are all very proud of him.”

🚨Dr Anne Cotton, Head of King's College School, Wimbledon, said of Arthur Fery’s SF defeat:

"I speak often of the spirit we encourage within our pupils, and the lionheartedness with which we want them to go out into the world and make their own way.”

Utterly shameless

[Peter Rutzler @peterrutzler]

Head of the White House World Cup task force, Andrew Giuliani, says the U.S. wanted things to be fair on the pitch "especially when you consider all the federal dollars we laid out for this" when discussing Balogun's suspended suspension.

“We did that. You had that red card, which never should have been administered, reversed. And we stand by the actions that we took.”

Apparently the Rules state 2-game ban + no appeal 🤔

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 FA made strong representation to FIFA that VAR process incorrectly followed on Quansah red card. Cited referee viewing still image 1st when should be realtime replay. Request for mitigation not accepted. Rules state 2-game ban + no appeal @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/RiRpUpIYYr

"It’s not, ‘you and me’, it’s togetherness, and there are other strikers in the building as well. If we all perform and push each other, we can help the team push forward, and that’s the key really."

[Sam Tabuteau @tabuteauS]

New Brentford signing Callum Wilson on reaching the PL 100-goal mark:

“I don’t shy away from the fact that I’m five goals away from 100 [in the Premier League], so I feel like five chances are going to come pretty quickly here and it’ll be a great opportunity to achieve that.”

[Sam Tabuteau @tabuteauS]

Adds that he is here to push Igor Thiago after the Brazilian's breakthrough campaign last season:

"(Thiago) had a fantastic season. I’m here to push, compete and, like I say, it’s about being a striking unit and department." 1/2
