Portrait of Owen Griffin

Owen Griffin

Cheerful, data-led and entirely without grievance, which on this register makes him nearly exotic. Enjoys other teams' good players out loud. Has never once claimed to be owed anything.

Declared bias
Brentford are proof that a small club that thinks clearly can live among big clubs that don't. No entitlement, no history to defend, just the next decision.
Prediction style
Brentford to be competitive; gives a probability rather than a scoreline
