Wondering how British Athletics can justify raising the price of lower tier tickets for next year's Diamond League šŸ’Ž meeting at the London Stadium by 142%. Seats we had this year cost Ā£35 - same seats for next year are Ā£85, with cheaper seats now at the back of the upper tier.

I'm hoping we haven't got another injury crisis before the season has even started. KLP and Ben Mee, as well as Rico and Hickey, have not featured in any friendlies and are out again today. No Vitaly after injury midweek and no Roerslev. Worrying. #brentfordfc

Where will #brentfordfc finish this season? Who will be our breakout star? I've given my predictions to @bbcsport as the Bees fan writer. See if you agree with me! #BBCFootball bbc.co.uk/sport/footballā€¦

The BBC Sport predictions for the new Premier League season are in - and my friend Phil McNulty and I disagree about where #brentfordfc will finish this season. Find out our views here: bbc.co.uk/sport/footballā€¦ I hope my prediction is closer to reality than his! #BBCFootball

Let's hope this is a non-starter. Would be madness to let Wissa go in my opinion. He's been brilliant for us and with no Thiago and maybe no Toney, we need him. #brentfordfc

I have no problem with people tipping #brentfordfc to go down. I can understand why neutrals think that, even though I disagree. But the pundit in today's Metro paper who says Thomas Frank will be sacked really doesn't know how our club works. Zero chance of that. #PremierLeague

Losing at Manchester City will have little long-term impact on #brentfordfc season. However, losing Yoane Wissa for two months after a cynical challenge will. Discussed in my latest BBC Sport Bees fan writer piece. bbc.com/sport/footballā€¦ #BBCFootball
