Derby Day v Fulham Falls Flat In Goalless Draw 🥱

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 09:36:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on ANOTHER draw in the Premier League, this time a goalless affair against our West London rivals Fulham at the Gtech.

Brentford came into the game with another chance to move into sixth and with the Cottagers looking to draw level on points with Keith Andrews side with a win. But, in keeping with recent West London derbies, the occasion fell flat, and to a 0-0 draw.

We chat about out most frustrating results of the season, why the game lacked the necessary bite, and how our European hopes look in light of the result.

On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect on the 0-0 draw at Elland Road against Leeds United.

Keith Andrews’ lineup in West Yorkshire somewhat reflected the growing injury list that is hampering Brentford’s European challenge, but a gritty defensive performance from his side meant the Bees stay in seventh place ahead of the March international break.

There was little to say about Brentford's trip to the Vitality Stadium, other than it was a point gained after the Cherries missed several chances to win the game. We chat about the injury to Rico Henry, what that means, and why we looked a bit leggy.

We also look at the impending run-in from our perspective and from the eyes of those around us, as well as having a chat about West Ham's recent revival under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Bees travelled to St. James’ Park on the back of a special victory at Villa Park, and ended up victorious yet again on the road.

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 12:35:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect on the MASSIVE 1-0 win away at Aston Villa.

It looked as though our winless run at Villa Park was set to continue after Kevin Schade’s first half red card for a kick out at Matty Cash. But Dango Ouattara’s first goal since returning from AFCON, coupled with a huge defensive shift in the second half, meant Keith Andrews masterminded Brentford’s third win over Villa this season.

Thomas Frank returned to the Gtech and gave us a very Brentford performance… against Brentford.

Igor Thiago’s hat-trick meant the Bees start 2026 in SEVENTH place, just a point outside of the Champions League positions.

Rooted at the foot of the table, and having only amassed two points all season, Wolves come into the game on Saturday desperately needing a win to keep their slim hopes of Premier League survival alive.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan dissect the 1-1 draw at home against Leeds, and talk about the future of Keith Andrews at Brentford.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Andrews’ side at the Gtech, but it looked as though we’d gotten away with it when Jordan Henderson slotted him his first goal in red and white. But Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s header meant the spoils were shared in West London.

We chat about our style of play regressing under Andrews, why we keep dropping points from winning positions, and the project under Andrews in the long term. We also talk about our upcoming games against Man City in the Carabao Cup, and a MASSIVE trip to Molineux on Saturday.

Flav Bateman of The Fighting Cock joins Mike ahead of a reunion with Thomas Frank, as Keith Andrews’ Brentford travel to Spurs on Saturday.

Frank started the season well with good performances against PSG in the Super Cup and Man City in the league, but since then, it’s been difficult for our former boss, with the football stale, the results infrequent, and the home form abject.

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:42:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another three points at home, this time against Scott Parker's Burnley.

The game looked to be heading for a boring goalless draw on what was a frustrating afternoon for Keith Andrews' side. But it burst into life in the final ten minutes, with Igor Thiago putting Brentford ahead from the spot, before being pegged back by a Burnley penalty, and then Thiago netting his second of the game and 11th of the season to put the Bees back in control.

We chat about Thiago becoming the fastest player to reach double figures in the Premier League for Brentford, Keith's changes to the lineup that saw Mathias Jensen and Aaron Hickey return, and our trip to The Emirates on Wednesday night.

Pontus Jansson On The "Best Decision Of His Career" 🇸🇪🎩

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:33:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan are joined by former Bees captain and Brentford Hall of Famer, Pontus Jansson.

Pontus joined the club in the summer of 2019 and was quickly made captain by Thomas Frank in a season that saw Brentford finish 3rd in the Championship, but eventually miss out on promotion in the playoffs. Pontus, however, was a key member of the squad that, in the following year, returned Brentford to the top flight for the first time in over than 70 years.

Captaining Brentford on their maiden voyage in the Premier League, Pontus quickly became a cult hero and club legend, making over 100 appearances for the Bees, and being involved in some of our most iconic top flight games to date.

We chat about what led him to sign for Brentford, his favourite memories in the Premier League, the current squad under Keith Andrews, and how his future could lead him back to the Gtech one day.

This one is an ALL-TIMER!

It was an absolute thriller in West London, in a game where Keith Andrews’ side came out deserved winners. Dango Ouattara sent us on our way to three points with yet another goal from a long throw, before Kevin Schade added a second before half-time.

Liverpool came back into it through a controversial Milos Kerkez goal, but Igor Thiago seventh of the season was enough to hand us all three points, despite a late Mo Salah stunner.

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on Brentford reaching the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after penalty shootout victory over Aston Villa, as well as a dramatic finish against Chelsea in the league.

Another positive performance from Keith Andrews’ Bees ended in a penalty shootout against a struggling Villa side.

We chat about Keith’s approach to the cup and how it differs from Thomas Frank, the performance of debutant Benjamin Arthur, and our frightening strength off the bench.

We also touch on a well deserved point against Chelsea at the Gtech. Fabio Carvalho’s last minute equaliser meant the spoils would be shared after a Cole Palmer-inspired turnaround from the World Champions. We talk Jordan Henderson, long throw carnage, and players running themselves into the ground for Keith.

Charlie Patrick from the Blue Brothers CFC channel joins Mike ahead of Chelsea’s visit to the Gtech on Saturday night.

Enzo Maresca’s side has an unbeaten start to the season, drawing with Crystal Palace, thumping West Ham away, and beating Fulham at Stamford Bridge - both wins coming without star player Cole Palmer who is missing with a groin injury.

We chat through Chelsea fans’ views on Maresca and Boehly-Clearlake reign so far, Chelsea’s upcoming Champions League campaign, and previous Premier League meetings between Brentford and Chelsea.

Late Heartbreak In Sunderland & Deadline Day Business 💼

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 12:29:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on last minute defeat at Sunderland on Saturday.

Brentford fell to defeat in the North East despite a reasonably positive performance. Igor Thiago’s second half opener looked like it had made amends for Kevin Schade’s penalty miss, but Enzo Le Fee brought things level from the spot before Sunderland snatched all three points late on.

Off the back of that result, and following the departure of Yoane Wissa to Newcastle on deadline day, we thought we might be in line for a bit of business before the window shut on Monday night. Reiss Nelson arrived on loan from Arsenal, but that was Brentford’s only incoming before the window closure.

We reflect on the defeat, chat about Brentford’s summer business, and analyse how the squad is looking as we go into the first international break.

SUNDERLAND PREVIEW | @WTFSunderland | Black Cats Up Next 🐈‍⬛

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:26:00 -0000

Graham Falk from the WTF Sunderland Podcast joins Mike ahead of Brentford's trip to the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Regis Le Bris' side were brought back to earth following a 3-0 win over West Ham on the opening day; a 2-0 loss away at Burnley, followed by a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Huddersfield, means Sunderland will be looking to get back on track when they face the Bees in the north east.

We chat about what went wrong against Burnley, Sunderland's big summer spend, and Le Bris the manager.

Bournemouth Beaten & Villa Dealt With ✅

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 14:25:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on back-to-back wins for Keith Andrews’ Brentford side in league and cup.

A response from the team was needed after the season opener at Forest, and a response was what we got against Villa. We chat about the changes Andrews made, Dango Ouattara’s debut, and our defensive solidity.

We also react to Brentford securing safe passage through to the next round of the Carabao Cup following a 2-0 win at Bournemouth. Plenty of changes were made but - uncharacteristically - Brentford won pretty convincingly on the south coast. We chat through the formation, and Andrews’ impressive game management.

VILLA PREVIEW | @UTVFANCHANNEL | A Chance To Bounce Back 🟣

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 08:36:00 -0000

Luke Robinson from the UTV Fan Channel joins Mike ahead of Aston Villa's trip to the Gtech for Brentford's first home game of the season.

Villa - in a similar way to Brentford - were uninspiring in their season opener against Newcastle, but still managed to pick up a point despite former Bee Ezri Konsa's second half red card.

We walk through that game, why Unai Emery's system needs tweaking against Brentford, and Villa's PSR struggles which have led to an underwhelming transfer window.

Opening Day Defeat At The City Ground 😒

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 18:13:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on opening day defeat after Brentford lost 3-1 against Nottingham Forest.

Keith Andrews start to life as head coach was a tough watch. 3-0 down at half-time with next to no cohesion across the pitch has unsurprisingly sparked a fair bit of headloss. We gather to, hopefully, quell some of that.

We discuss the lineup, Igor Thiago’s performance, and changes for Aston Villa at the Gtech on Saturday.

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 06:37:00 -0000

The Athletic's Nick Miller joins Mike ahead of Brentford's season opener against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

We chat about a messy summer Forest which culminated in Nuno Espirito Santo's team being promoted into the Europa League following Crystal Palace's demotion to the Conference League.

Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis has been central to much of the drama - we dissect his role at the club, and talk about *that* Morgan Gibbs-White contract announcement video...

We also discuss Forest's summer business, and the type of game to expect on Sunday afternoon.

Firstly, we chat about potential incomings ahead of the closure of the transfer window, following reports that Bournemouth’s Dango Ouattara could be West London-bound.

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 11:06:00 -0000

Two episodes in two days! Football finance expert and host of the Price of Football Podcast Kieran Maguire joins Mike for a discussion around Brentford securing new investment.

On Tuesday, it was announced that philanthropist and former exec of Belron Gary Lubner, alongside filmmaker Sir Matthew Vaughn, have secured a minority stake in Brentford Football Club.

New Investment, Henderson Joins & Backroom Takes Shape 👀

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 17:59:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Craig reflect on ANOTHER dramatic couple of weeks for Bees fans.

First, we had Keith Andrews’ backroom staff appointments in the shape of Mehmet Ali from Arsenal, Martin Drury from Valencia, and Neil MacFarlane from Brentford B.

Antoni Milambo’s arrival from Feyenoord was then confirmed, and not long after that, it broke that Brentford had ‘won the race’ to sign 35-year-old England international Jordan Henderson on a free transfer.

Then came the news that Matthew Benham had secured new investment in the club in the form of Gary Lubner and Matthew Vaughn.

Oh, and Bryan Mbeumo still hasn’t joined Manchester United… PLENTY to get into.

Keith Andrews In, Christian Norgaard Out | Therapy Session No.2 🙂

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 12:13:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another turbulent week for Brentford fans, starting with reports that Keith Andrews is set to succeed Thomas Frank as Brentford manager.

The Irishman was part of Frank’s backroom staff last season serving as set piece coach, but has no experience as a first team coach at any level. We chat about the appointment, Phil Giles and Matthew Benham, and how Andrews could shape our summer transfer window.

That news was quickly followed by club captain Christian Norgaard being poached by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Norgaard has been at the club since 2019, and was an integral member of the squad that took us from the Championship to the Premier League. We discuss what his departure means for Brentford.

On this week’s episode - the last episode of the regular season - Mike, Craig and Dan look back on the 1-1 draw against Wolves on the final day, as well as the campaign as a whole.

We walk through Bryan Mbeumo hitting the 20-goal mark in the Premier League, but was that his last goal and appearance in a Brentford shirt? We address the rumours linking Bryan to Manchester United, and where we’d like to see him go next if he were to leave.

We also give out our end of season awards for Player of the Season, Most Improved Player, Goal of the Season and Performance of the Season.

A Miserable Weekend All Round 😒

Mon, 19 May 2025 15:11:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on derby day defeat at the Gtech - a result that put a dent in the already-dented European hopes following Man City’s defeat against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final.

We talk about watching the FA Cup on Saturday and the emotions that every Brentford fan would’ve been feeling, that were unfortunately compounded by defeat against Fulham in the derby.

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa both reached 19 Premier League goals at the weekend - we chat about their prospective futures at the club, as well as another excellent performance from Yehor Yarmolyuk. We also look ahead to a trip to Wolves on the final day.

Thu, 15 May 2025 18:35:00 -0000

In a special bonus episode, Sam Tabuteau of the Hounslow Herald joins Mike and Craig to reflect on the season so far, and look ahead to what it could become…

We talk through what has been Brentford’s best season in the Premier League to date, touching on the campaigns of Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. We also chat about the signings of Fabio Carvalho and Igor Thiago, and whether we can expect to see more of them next season.

This weekend is a big one in terms of Brentford’s chances of securing European football next season, and we discuss how Brentford could do it, the massive West London derby against Fulham on Sunday, and a potential party in Wolverhampton next week.

It... Is... ON 🇪🇺✈️

Wed, 14 May 2025 11:50:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Craig reflect on our fourth win on the spin - this time, away at Ipswich.

A first half header from Kevin Schade was enough to secure all three points and, at the same time, keep our European hopes alive. If Manchester City beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday, a place in the Conference League will be in our hands…

We run through the game, discuss the recent performances of Yehor Yarmolyuk and preview a MASSIVE game against Fulham on Sunday.

We Couldn't... Could We? 🇪🇺👀

Mon, 05 May 2025 17:13:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on Brentford's 4-3 win over Manchester United at the Gtech.

The visitors had gone ahead through Mason Mount, but a Kevin Schade brace, Yoane Wissa's 18th goal of the season and an own goal from Luke Shaw meant Thomas Frank's side climbed to ninth in the table, just a point off Bournemouth in eighth.

We talk about the MASSIVE win against Nottingham Forest in midweek, the recent performances of Michael Kayode, and the European picture after some results went our way last weekend, but before even more could this weekend...

Winless Run At Home ENDS! 🤩

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 11:58:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on Brentford’s 4-2 win over Brighton.

To keep our faint hopes of European football alive, the game against the Seagulls was a must-win, and Thomas Frank’s side duly obliged.

A brace from Bryan Mbeumo - taking his tally to 18 for the season - along with goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard took Brentford onto 46 points, and ensured we remained within touching distance of the teams above us.

We chat about the impending run-in, Bryan’s masterful performance, and look ahead to another crucial game against Champions League chasing Nottingham Forest.

Wissa Again, Second Again, Olé Olé 🎶

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 17:31:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Craig reflect on a point gained at The Emirates.

Brentford travelled to North London to face an Arsenal side that had, in their previous outing, put three past Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. In light of their second leg against the European Champions, Mikel Arteta made several changes to his side for Saturday’s match, but it was the home side that went ahead through Thomas Partey.

Yoane Wissa, though, pulled Brentford level in the second half after some fine work down the right from substitute Michael Kayode. We chat about Kayode’s impact at The Emirates, whether he deserves to start against Brighton, and Gustavo Nunes’ debut for the Bees.

ARSENAL PREVIEW | @ArsenalVPodcast | Rice, Rice Baby 🍚

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 09:04:00 -0000

Elliot aka @YankeeGunner from the Arsenal Vision Podcast joins Mike to preview Brentford's trip to The Emirates on Saturday night.

The Gunners come into the game after a MASSIVE performance in the Champions League in midweek. Two wonderstrikes from Declan Rice and a well-taken goal from Mikel Merino saw Mikel Arteta's side take a three-goal lead into their quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu next week.

We reflect on that momentous night, analyse David Raya's tenure in North London, and look ahead to the potential changes to Arsenal's side that could come as a result of their prioritisation of the Champions League.

Points Shared At The Gtech 🤝

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 19:36:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, a full house reflects on the 0-0 draw against Chelsea at the Gtech, extending Brentford’s winless run at home to 10 matches.

The Bees had big chances in the game, but failed to secure what would’ve been a first home win against their West London rivals in the Premier League. The draw did earn us our first clean sheet of the season at home, though, and we are now mathematically safe from relegation (!).

A game to forget, but plenty of talking points to get into. We chat about the lack of attacking depth on Brentford’s bench, why watching Kevin Schade can be an extremely frustrating watch at times, and look ahead to Arsenal on Saturday.

Away Run Comes To An End In Newcastle 🥲

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 12:29:00 -0000

Football’s back and so are we. Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-1 defeat at Newcastle on Wednesday night.

Bryan Mbeumo had pulled Brentford back into the game from the penalty spot after Alexander Isak’s first half opener, but an extraordinary goal from Sandro Tonali meant Newcastle secured all three points.

We walk through the goals, analyse the performance of the front three, and look ahead to Chelsea on Sunday. We also chat about the rumours that Matthew Benham is in talks with an investor around securing a minority stake in the club, and there’s some England chat around Thomas Tuchel’s first games in charge of the Three Lions.

FIVE Away Wins On The Spin 👀

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 13:30:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another huge performance away from home, this time on the south coast against Bournemouth.

You have to go all the way back to 2014 for Bournemouth's last league win against Brentford, and the hoodoo continued at The Vitality on Saturday. Goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard completed the turnaround, after Vitaly Janelt's unfortunate own goal in the first half.

We dive into the performances of Kevin Schade, Nathan Collins and captain fantastic Christian Norgaard, and we also look ahead to Newcastle away after the international break.

Winless Run At Home Extends 😟

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:05:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on the narrow home defeat against Aston Villa, extending Brentford’s winless run at home to eight matches in all competitions.

Ollie Watkins returned to Brentford to haunt his former side once more. His second half effort - enough to hand Villa the three points - was his sixth goal in seven games against his old employers.

We break down the goal, go through some interesting social media talk around the mentality of this team, and debate whether we should’ve been awarded two penalties.

VILLA PREVIEW | @utvfanchannel | A Crunch Game At The Gtech 🟣👀

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 11:24:00 -0000

Luke from the UTV Fan Channel joins Mike to preview Saturday night's clash at the Gtech against Aston Villa.

Villa come into the game in decent form, having booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-final, and all but securing their passage to the last eight of the Champions League as well after a comfortable 3-1 victory away at Club Brugge.

A win for Brentford would be huge considering Villa's place just above them in the Premier League table, and with not much separating the teams in the race for Europe, it promises to be a cracker.

Luke gives his thoughts on Villa's cup exploits this season, which players to look out for, and how Unai Emery will set up his side when they travel to the capital.

Foxes Hunted But Toffees Bittersweet 🙂

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 13:37:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on a big win against Leicester away from home, but a disappointing night against an in-form Everton side at the Gtech, in which a late Jake O’Brien goal rescued a deserved points for the Toffees.

Everton’s red-hot Beto will be wondering how he didn’t add to his impressive tally under David Moyes after Ethan Pinnock handed the striker three one-on-ones only for Mark Flekken to come out on top on all three occasions. We talk about Pinnock’s decline this season and whether his time as our first choice centre-back is over.

Keane Lewis-Potter squandered a glorious opportunity to put the game to bed, and was punished minutes later by O’Brien’s late diving header at the back post. We look at that chance, Yehor Yarmolyuk and Kevin Schade’s performances, and the bigger picture around our European ambitions.

Three Away Wins On The Spin 😮‍💨

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 18:28:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another three points on the road, this time away at West Ham.

When Teams Like Brentford come to town, West Ham (and other big clubs) normally expect three points... but we're not quite sure why Hammers fans in particular are so entitled considering our record against them!

We walk through the performance of the front three and why we should've been home and dry by half-time, another HUGE shift from Keane Lewis-Potter at left-back, and Nathan Collins' continued excellence.

Another Frustrating Day At Home 🙂

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:59:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on another disappointing day at home, this time against an out-of-form Spurs side.

An own goal from Vitaly Janelt set up another frustrating afternoon at the Gtech in another game where the Bees failed to break down a side who were comfortable to defend for 90 minutes.

We take a look at Thomas Frank's game management, the ensuing injury crisis, and a trip to east London next weekend.

Back-To-Back Away Wins 🤩

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 08:52:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Callum reflect on a HUGE three point away at Crystal Palace.

Brentford travelled to Selhurst Park having only one once away from home all season, while the Eagles came into the game in a rich vein of form, unbeaten in ten Premier League games. But it was Thomas Frank's side who came out on top in south London.

Second half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Kevin Schade gave the Bees a two-goal cushion, and despite a late goal from the hosts, we hung on to secure our second successive victory on the road.

Could we see any outgoings in January? Do the Palace fans have any reason to be disgruntled with the result? How will we far against Spurs on Sunday? ALL DISCUSSED!

Heartbreak In Injury Time Against Liverpool 💔

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:11:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the late 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool.

The league-leaders dominated the game throughout, but despite registering 37 shots, created few chances of note in what was a spirited defensive performance from Thomas Frank's side.

We chat about our midfield options going forward, possible changes in the backline with Rico Henry coming back into the fold, and how the second half of the season might go.

Also get the latest news around the January transfer window as rumours of potential outgoings emerge, and we preview our tip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

FA Cup Woes & Late Drama At The Gtech 🗣️

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 13:39:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on FA Cup misery at home to Plymouth, followed up by a game-of-the-season contender against Manchester City.

Thomas Frank made seven changes to his side for bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth's visit to the Gtech at the weekend, and Brentford paid the price, losing to a late Morgan Whittaker goal and exiting the cup in the third round. Dan delves into an identity crisis, and talks about Thomas Frank's prioritisation of the league over cup competitions.

That was followed up by yet another ding-dong game at home, with champions Man City coming to town. From two goals down, the Bees fought back to salvage a draw, with captain Christian Norgaard shining in midfield. Could we have won the game? How important is Norgaard to this Brentford team? How do we set up against Liverpool? ALL DISCUSSED...

MAN CITY PREVIEW | @BlueMoonPodcast | Can We Get Back On Track At Home? 🙏

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 16:29:00 -0000

David Mooney from The Blue Moon Podcast joins Mike to preview Manchester City's visit to the Gtech on Tuesday night.

Brentford bowed out of the FA Cup following a shock third round defeat to bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth Argyle, but Thomas Frank's side have the chance to bounce back against a Man City side that are far from their formidable best.

What's gone wrong at City this season? Where do they need to strengthen in January? And will Frank opt for the same gameplan that almost saw Brentford get another famous result at The Etihad in the reverse fixture at the start of the campaign?

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 18:25:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on OUR FIRST AWAY WIN OF THE SEASON!

We briefly look back on defeat against Arsenal before tucking into a 5-0 away win at St. Mary's. An attacking lineup eased its way through a bottom-of-the-league Saints defence, and gave Thomas Frank's side its first victory on the road this season... only took until 2025!

We chat through an outstanding Tweet of the Week, the never-ending brilliance of Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo's stock, and our upcoming fixtures in cup and league.

A Hard-Fought Point On The South Coast 🤝

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 12:59:00 -0000

On this week’s episode, Dan, Craig and Miranda reflect on our first home defeat of the season against Nott’m Forest, as well as the 0-0 draw at Brighton, and ANOTHER injury crisis…

Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Forest showcased as a defensive performance for the ages. The first team to prevent us from scoring at the Gtech this season, the visitors were worthy of the three points - we take a look at why we just couldn’t break them down.

But we had the chance to respond at Brighton after Christmas, and in the end, we settled for a point at The Amex, surviving an onslaught in the first half but showing attacking intent in the second. Mads Roerslev produces his best performance of the season, and there are Premier League debuts for Kim Ji-Soo and Hákon Valdimarsson.

Defeat At The Bridge & Out Of The Cup 😒

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 15:27:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect back on back-to-back losses in league and cup.

A spirited second half performance wasn't enough to overturn a two-goal deficit against Chelsea, meaning our run of three consecutive wins at Stamford Bridge came to end. On another day, a point could've been a fair result, but our miserable record away from home continues.

We were afforded a chance to bounce back in midweek against Newcastle in the League Cup quarterfinal, but a much-changed Brentford XI were comprehensively beaten by a Magpies side who we comprehensively beat a week before... how did that happen?

Death, Taxes & Three Points At The Gtech 🏡

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 13:15:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on yet another three points at home, this time against Eddie Howe's Newcastle.

We needed a response after a poor showing away from home against Villa, and that's exactly what we got. An attacking lineup was justified by sublime finishes from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, and we demonstrated defensive solidity in the second half too!

Second half goals from Nathan Collins and Kevin Schade rounded off a comfortable win at home, against probably the toughest opposition we've faced at the Gtech...

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum and Dan discuss another loss on the road, this time at Villa Park. Fresh from a 4-1 thumping of Leicester at the Gtech, the Bees travelled to Birmingham in good spirits, but a 13-minute spell - in which Villa put three past us - meant it would be defeat on our travels yet again.

A Good Point On The Road 🚗

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 14:43:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum, Craig and Dan reflect on a hard-fought point at Goodison Park. In a game that wasn't likely to produce many goals, Christian Norgaard's controversial red card just before half-time did little to help the quality of the game. A gritty second half performance - in which 10-man Brentford were the better team - earned Thomas Frank's side their first point on the road this season. We analyse the red card decision, Bryan Mbeumo's performance, Igor Thiago's debut off the bench, and Leicester at home this weekend...

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 15:47:37 -0000

Welcome to The Ealing Road Podcast! This is the first episode of what will be a weekly series where we discuss all things Brentford FC.

On this week's episode, @mikej_24, @will_1889, and @ClaytonM_23 introduce themselves as hosts, and tell their funniest Brentford stories (there are some good ones).

We also discuss the games against Aston Villa and Wolves, before talking about the performance of individual players over the course of the season so far. Listen out for some clear - and perhaps unreasonable - agendas.

Finally, we briefly preview Forest (A) this weekend, and all get quite upset at the thought of travelling to the City Ground with no Ivan Toney...

Stay tuned for weekly episodes, and follow us on Twitter: @TheEalingRoad

Enjoy!
