The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

New Year. New Cheer. And the Beesotted crew have gone all adventurous in the New Year - abandoning the safe zone of West London to assemble to consume more beers within spitting distance of Smithfield meat market.

The Butcher’s Hook and Cleaver near Farringdon was the drinking spot was the characters discussed all sorts including the FA Cup defeat and whether fans should just not bother with the FA Cup any more if it's not taken seriously like it was back in the day.

Plus we ask have you ever changed your plans to make sure you don’t miss a super important Brentford match? We told tales of plans changed a plenty to ensure that we were able to see the Bees over the seasons including one un-named pannelist who avoided an encounter of 'activity' to see the Bees. Plus we read out fans’ examples of their change of plan to make sure they were there cheering on their team.

With the forthcoming Bolton match being given an 80s theme by the club - harking back to the days of players like Bobby Booker, Francis Joseph, Chris Kamara and Terry Evans, we dug onto our vaults and found a few clips from Beesotted socials featuring 80s players.

Plus we discuss activity in and around Brentford at the moment including transfer gossip and the forthcoming B-team tour of Ireland that Beesotted are seriously considering doing a live podcast from.

We also talk to Eddie Skelly (@EddieSkelly) from Bolton blog and podcast Lion of Vienna Suite and discuss the Bolton match.

Romaine Sawyers gives his thoughts on the post match podcast.  

Brentford fielded an A minus side against Notts County in an attempt to get to the fourth round of the FA Cup. 

It wasn’t good enough. They looked like a team who haven’t played together enough. And low energy football and disjointed play saw them go behind in the 2nd half never to recover. 

We spoke to Bees player Romaine Sawyers and not very happy fans in the pub after the match.

It’s time to forget the league for the week as the Beesotted crew are feeling a bit under the weather. Yes they’ve got cup fever as Brentford welcome Notts County to Griffin Park on Saturday in the FA Cup 3rd Round.

And after what has seemed like an eternity touring the pubs of West London, the characters met up in the “Virtual Joint” boozer where they discussed the recent Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves matches.

We discussed the experimental 361 article which outined Brentford as being far the most attacking team in the division but at the same time, wasteful https://experimental361.com/2017/12/31/scatter-graphics-championship-31-dec-2017/

The transfer window - which opened on 1st January and already had a few rumours flying around about Bees players.

We decided to confront the elephant in the room - ex Brentford manager Mark Warburton’s departure from Nottingham Forest. Where does he - and his team of David Weir and Frank McParland - go from here? And recalled the tete-a-tete Beesotted had recently on social media with Guardian Journalist and Nottingham Forest fan Daniel Taylor (https://twitter.com/dtguardian/status/947417279507193857) who lambasted Brentford for the Warburton incident three years ago (https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/feb/14/football-owners-silly-party-candidates-football-league). Then condoned Forest’s sacking of the manager at the end of 2017.

Plus we chat to Ade Rawden (@NottsAde) from Notts TV who gives us the lowdown on Notts County

Brentford were on a roll. Three wins in a row. They had their toughest match of the season - away to Wolves.

They held their own in the first half. However Wolves turned the screw in the second half to beat Brentford 3-0.
