Across the Seas but Forever Bees - An American Brentford Podcast

Instead of trying to unpack a dismal morning at home to Fulham, we focus on the glorious events of the latest Fan Fest.  Our correspondent in the field Michel Cowdry has come back to ASFB Towers to report on the impressive show that Brentford Football Club put on at Fan Fest.  

Worth a listen this week not only for Michel's stories from Tampa but also for the outrageous picks our resident 'expert' on all thing football makes regarding next weekend's game?  Is he right??  We'll see.

...and eventually if you only have a small army that takes its toll.  Greville Waterman and Tim Searls are in the studio to talk about an Everton match that will live long in the memory.  Somehow we're still seventh (it seems we've been 7th since Christmas!), but with what's left of a depleted side running on fumes, can we stay there?  

The small business of Harry Wilson and F*lhum next!

A beleaguered Brentford gets a point at Elland Road - a remarkable feat of some brave and determined athletes at the end of their limits.  We get to that match eventually, but first lets have a wonderful conversation with Bruce Muni (he of the Church of the Red Lion) about his history as a Brentford fan.  Greville Waterman and Tim Searls can't help but going down some memory lanes along the way.

Brentford appear to be staggering a bit, with an injury-hit squad and some weary legs after a grueling season.  But not here at ASFB Towers, where we have the luxury of bringing Glenn Houlihan in off the bench, which strengthens us incredibly (he really should be a starter here).  

All is not lost after a difficult month or so, and if you'd offered us 7th by mid-March we'd have be more than happy back in August.  We take such positives as there is from the Wolves match and we move on.

A really interesting conversation as to who plays and where for the Leeds match follows, which is alone worth the price you've paid for this podcast.

Yah, I'd rather be us.  But being so, so close to a semi-final (you know we'd have beaten Leeds at home!) and a trip to Wembley in the FA Cup... 

Still, I'd rather be us.

We are so lucky to get Michel Cowdrey back into ASFB Towers to discuss his slightly made football holiday, and to help us look forward to the Fan Fest coming up.  

From there we're trying not to take the West Ham match too badly as we nervously looking forward to a match against a suddenly rampaging Wolves.

It's always good to talk football.

Michael White joins Tim and Greville in the studio to embark on a conversation  about the crazy win against Burnley and then the meek draw at Bournemouth.  But this podcast is much more than that.  What you'll hear is a free-flowing conversation about where Brentford is and who Brentford is, about VAR (and ways maybe to improve it), and about the squad going forward during the injury plagued latter stages of the campaign.

It's always a joy to talk football, but Michael's insight and knowledge makes this an important conversation to be having right now.

Thanks for tuning in as we range over a busy week of football, from the Thursday match against the top rated team in all of English football to four days later doing combat with the seventh best team in the National League North; from Champions League to the sixth tier of the English leagues.  And you know what?  They were both tough.  Different tough, but challenges all the same.  

In the studio with me to examine a pivotal week in this wonderful season is Greville Waterman.  We look back at a riveting match at the Gtech against Arsenal, one in which we left them happy to get a point as they lay stretched out on our pitch exhausted.  While we might have gladly taken a point before the match started, by the end it honestly felt like two points dropped!

And on to Macclesfield, who were up for a battle and gave us all we could handle.  In the end here it was job done and thank goodness we got out of there.  Could this be the year of a deep Cup run?

The Brentford women have a season that in many ways has exceeded even their own lofty expectations!   The woman are out in front in their league and looking at the possibility of promotion.  This Sunday they play #2 in Saltdean, and it's at the Gtech!   There is so much at stake in this match, and it should be incredible.  

Gary Enstone and Richard Merritt are in the studio to talk the rise and rise of this great club.  If you cannot get to the Gtech there's so much happening around the club it's still very much worth listening, as you could not ask for two more informed and intelligent people to speak about the club.  There is so much to admire about Carly Williams and her side, and I hope you'll do as Richard and Gary suggest and get down to the Gtech on Sunday.

The pure fantasy continues unabated as we follow a gutsy win at Villa Park with our first win at Newcastle since 1934.  Greville Waterman and Tim Searls are in studio to look back at a match at St. James Park that had more improbable twists than a Harry Potter novel.  Confess:  Who rubbed that genie lamp and wished for all this 15 years ago?  

The small task of Arsenal is up ahead of us, but we're Brentford.  Humble but brave, as the former manager used to say.

Dustin Senor is back in the studio finally, and along with Greville Waterman we're talking the crazy and memorable events that occurred at Villa Park last Sunday.  It had a bit of everything, this one!
