The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

It’s transfer deadline day. And with the Derby match on the horizon, Brentford fans were praying that their team would remain pretty much intact at 11pm on Thursday 31st January.

The Beesotted crew met up the the old favourite - The Cross Keys pub in Stamford Brook to discuss all sorts. The loss against Norwich.

Norwich were the visitors to Griffin Park to try and stop Brentford in their tracks - winning their 5th game in 6 matches. And the Beesotted crew gathered in a rather rock and roll Sun and 13 Cantons pub just at the foot of Carnaby Street in Central London to discuss whether or not Norwich would succeed in their task.

On the menu today. The Number 13 - unlucky for some as Brentford are 13 games unbeaten at home. Reading - did the Bees deserve their lead? Transfer - is anything going to happen before next Wednesday’s deadline? Alan Judge - was he misquoted? Or has he had time to re-assess?

Plus we look back to Bob Taylor’s appearance at the December Bees-Up at Fullers’ brewery and look forward to the end of season Bees-up.

And we chat to Clare from Norwich blog The Little Yellow Bird project.

Ex Brentford striker Bob Taylor joined the Beesotted crew, Marcus Gayle, Kev O'Connor and a room full of Brentford fans at the Fullers’ Brewery for the traditional end of year Bees-Up.

A hilarious evening in which he told of his partnership with Nicky Forster as one half of the legendary FT index. That infamous open goal miss against Huddersfield in the Division One playoff semi-final. His disappointment (probably the most diplomatic way of describing it) with Dave Webb’s team change for the Playoff final at Wembley against Crewe - resulting in a lacklustre performance and the Bees losing limply. Plus he talks about his time at Man City playing alongside players like Sean Goater and George Weah (for a short period of time) and describes the disappointing treatment he received from Wolves at the end of his career.

The event raised £1k across the charities - Campaign Against Living Miserably, British Legion, Shooting Stars Chase Childrens' Hospice and Brentford Community Trust.

Check out the second part of this podcast from the Beesotted end of year Bees-Up featuring Brentford legend Kev O’Connor.
