Twas a lovely sunny day in South Wales as Brentford came to Cardiff in search of 3 points to continue their wining run.

And Bees went 1-0 up at half time as Canos scored again to get the Bees chasing the game.

But two corners undid the Bees in a game of two halves as the Bees went down 2-1. Tired Bees? Or on the beach?

Another week, another couple of wins as the Bees racked up two 2-0 victories against Bristol City and Leeds United within 3 days of each other to continue their winning streak.

But it was the performances that had everyone talking from fans in the pub to Leeds managed Gary Monk who claimed that "outstanding" Bees were one of the best sides he had seen this season.

The Beesotted Crew met up at The Salutation Pub in King Street Hammersmith to shoot the breeze discussing the matches at the weekend, pontificating on whether there is ever a perfect situation for all fans, discussed their new video project which documents fans and Griffin Park which will be no more in a few years time ... discussed the forthcoming Fulham game - where Bees fans have been given 2800 tickets ... plus we discuss the changing face of Cardiff City football club and similar clubs - like Orient and Charlton - whose owners came in with positive and intentions (in some cases) but failed to deliver what the fans expected resulting in a decimation of the fanbase and a loss of soul of the club.

Absolutely teefing tremendous. Bees were on a roll. After a dominating display in the 2-0 win against Bristol City in the previous match, Brentford were hoping to maintain the high standards in the second half. And the players didn’t let the side down as the West London side totally outclassed their Yorkshire opponents in the first half to see them two to the good.

Second half, Leeds tried to get back in the game but Bentley kept his defence tight as they went out 2-0 winners.

Bees players were back from international break refreshed. Bristol City needed the points to stave off the relegation wolves.

Bees started brightly and found themselves 2-0 up at half time before moving into cruise control.
