Recorded within minutes of the final whistle, while the disappointment was still raw.

Glenn Houlihan and Greville Waterman are on this week to discuss the continuing joy of the Gtech (and frustration on the road).  A historic first win against Newcastle is prologue to an away adventure to a talented and firing on all cylinders Chelsea.

Sunday 3pm at Bedfont...It's Fulham in the FA Cup.  We need to get ourselves there in huge numbers to carry this worthy club we love over the line in this 3rd round match.   In studio to discuss the highs and other highs of the woman's club are Richard Merritt and Gary Instone, who really do know the team and are a delight to talk with.  

Be aware that the match is free but all ticket, which does require you to acquire tickets before the event.  Let's all go there.

This is a big one folks!  The woman have earned some of your time.  And, after all, it's Fulham.

The Leicester City match on Saturday really had me thinking about not just how far the journey has been for this club, but just how far we might still go, and how sustainable this Premier League experience feels.  

For my American listeners:  This is not normal.  It's hard to even find a comparable story in the football league's history, though Greville does a quite smart job of finding an analogy.

A look at the LC match and a look ahead to Villa are part of the conversation.

VAR ruins football, and we saw a glaring example of how.  But as Jon Mates tells us, that second half was some of the most inspired Brentford play of the season so far.  Never has a goalless draw filled me with as much pride.  Greville Waterman is in studio as well to discuss the ins-and-outs of a very busy week in West London.

Leicester next, managed by....err.  Here's to Jon Mate's prediction and not to Greville narrow victory!

Nations League, huh?  It's been too long since Bournemouth.  Way too long.  It's good to have a Saturday of football up in Liverpool to look forward to, in the form of a once-again struggling Everton.

Glenn Houlihan and Greville Waterman discuss the Bees on international duty, with some frankly shocking trivia pressure put on Tim and Glenn.  See if you can name the Brentford all-time Danes and full internationals better than we do!

Everton can be beat.  They should be beatable.  But Sean Dyche just does something to us on a regular basis.  

...It's good to be thinking about football again.

...and then we talk about Fulham.  A bit of PTSD, but healthy to get it out and discussed, they say.  

We are one crazy team at home, the most entertaining club in the world right now.  Sometimes you watch between your fingers, but it's never dull.  Long may it go on.

A happy return to podcasting for the whole crew here at Across the Seas but Forever Bees.  Thanks for being patient with our hiatus.

Glenn Houlihan visits again from Iowa, and along with Greville Waterman, we discuss the loss to Manchester United.  It says a lot about us that we're this disappointed.  

There's a match and a squad to be proud of, and hopefully we'll take it out on Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday over the next week.

Hope you enjoy.  All feedback is very gratefully received!

I'll never get used to the feeling of looking at the fixture list and realizing we have Manchester United next in the league.  Just typing it seems surreal.  

This week Greville and I welcome Chris Fries to the studio to have a talk about his Indiana Brentford fandom.  Chris adds some real insight into where we've been this season, and what he sees ahead.  

Cannot wait for Saturday!

Jay Altair is the real Boston Bee, and he joins us from his current spot in West London.  Jay has made his first trip to the Gtech a memorable one by getting to both West Ham a week prior and then Wolves this week.  And he got to Belfont to see the Brentford Woman...with less success.  It's all a story enthusiastically told, and well worth your time.

Greville and I join Jay for his story and for a celebration of a wonderful demolition of Wolves.  We can be quite good, when the cylinders are all firing.
