The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Eight games unbeaten. Brentford went into this game on a high. Leeds meanwhile were on a bit of a downer - having lost six of their last eight games.

An exciting game which saw Brentford go 1-0 up then miss a penalty. Leeds got a goal back. But two late goals - including a peach from Ryan Woods - saw the Bees win 3-1.

We spoke to Bees and Leeds fans in the pub after the match

With the Leeds game approaching - but with the Birmingham game also upon us - the Beesotted crew took to the road to record this episode - finding a number of drinking establishments in the West Midlands who would happily accommodate our portable studio.

And in true Birmingham style, these venues proved to be ten times better than ANY other venue we had ever been to.

"This Birmingham Team is Ten Times Better than the Brentford Team that reached the Playoffs". Harlee Dean's words were still echoing around the halls of St Andrews when Brentford came to town. And the Brentford fans let him know they had heard him loud and clear on the night.

Billy Grant picks up the roving microphone and is joined by assorted characters including Liberal Nick, Streetboy Tim, Jim Levack, The Ristic, Russty Bee, Gerry the Cabbie, Supes (out) and many many navy more and they recorded in an Egyptian bar in Birmingham, the back of a taxi and a punjabi pub/indian restaurant a short walk away from St Andrews as they discuss all sorts in the run up to the forthcoming Birmingham and Leeds matches.

Plus we talk to Bik Singh from Birmingham City Supporters Group Blues 4 All (@Blues4All) and Leeds fan Phil May.

Brentford were on a run. Birmingham had bought three Brentford players on the transfer deadline. Harlee Dean said that the current Birmingham team was better than the Brentford playoff team of a few seasons ago.

Billy Grant Caught up with Video Blogger Davo from Davo's Diaries (@DavoBirmingham) before the Birmingham match. He expressed a slight fear that Harlee Dean's comments about the current Birmingham City team being 10 times better than the Brentford team who got to the Premier League playoff three seasons ago may come back to bite Birmingham when they meet each other on Wednesday

End to end stuff as Brentford went 1-0 up and 2-1 up before relinquishing the lead twice. Looking like yet another draw before an exquisite pass from Florian Jozefzoon tees up Ollie Watkins score the winner. Pandemonium on the away terrace
