Billy “TheBee” Grant catches up with Neil from The Anfield Wrap ahead of Brentford’s big clash with Liverpool under the lights this Saturday (8pm kick-off).

The two dive deep into both clubs’ seasons so far - from Liverpool’s strong start to their losing streak including that recent blip against Man United and compare it to Brentford’s interesting start to the season.

There’s a snake competition - Issak versus Wissa and as we look at Liverpool's transfer window we ask should Liverpool have cashed in on Mo Salah?

They also look at the bigger picture - Arsenal sitting top of the Premier League, the long grind of a nine-month season, and whether the Reds can truly go the distance this year.

Billy flips the focus to Brentford - with Neil giving his outsider’s view on how the Bees are shaping up, where Liverpool might be vulnerable, and which players could make the difference on both sides.

Plus a nod to the Liverpool links in the Brentford squad — Henderson, Kelleher, Van de Berg, Carvalho

They round off with match predictions, key players to watch, a quick preview of the Steam Packet pre-match quiz ands the question - If Brentford actually beat Liverpool on Saturday, will they still win the league?

Can Brentford sting Liverpool again? Or will Slot's men bump start their title charge?

It’s another London derby week — and the Beesotted crew of Billy The Bee Grant and Laney are back on the mics to chat all things Brentford as we head to the London Stadium to take on West Ham.

We look back at the Manchester City game with JB bringing his trademark facts and funk, while Bees Breakdowndeliver the tactical and statistical lowdown on what went right, what went wrong, and how the Bees can bounce back this weekend.

There’s plenty of international chat too — with England becoming the first European team to qualify, Tuchel bizarrely lambasting fans for not singing, and then England supporters making up for it with karaoke antics in Riga. The Beesotted boys also went on a whistle-stop tour of the Baltics, taking in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in just a few days — so expect a few stories from the road.

🐝 Aaron Hickey picks up an injury playing for Scotland

🐝 Romelle Donavan scores a worldie against QPR – is he edging closer to a first-team start?

🐝 Benjamin Arthur gets a mention as one to watch

🐝 Damsgaard scores for Denmark, who continue to impress on international duty

🐝 Ethan Pinnock’s Jamaica bounce back and get their World Cup qualification campaign back on course

We also chat about Kevin Schade — and ask, is Thomas Frank interested in signing him permanently?

And as ever, there’s more facts and funk when the winners of the Beesotted x Steam Packet quiz from the Man City match — Nemo — try to give JB a run for his money.

Finally, Andy Payne from Hammers United joins us to give the full lowdown on West Ham, their season so far, and what to expect this weekend.

Podcast Summary (Beesotted Style):

We’re back with another Beesotted post-match podcast, recorded straight after the game - chatting with fans in the stands and down the pub once the final whistle blew.

The Bees put in a real shift against Man City, battling hard against one of the best sides in the league. There were plenty of talking points - from the tactical setup to the key moments that swung the game - and the fans had plenty to say about it all.

We got the raw reaction: frustration, pride, a bit of both… but always honest and full of passion.

Grab a pint, have a listen, and relive the afternoon’s action with the Beesotted crew and the Brentford faithful. 🍻🐝

A bright morning in West London saw Brentford claim a convincing 3-1 win over Manchester United.

The Bees struck with energy and composure, taking control early and keeping their momentum through the game, while United never quite found their footing

Thiago and Jensen scored two incredible goals. Meanwhile Kelleher made up for his earlier goal fluff to safe a penalty

Straight after the final whistle we spoke to both Brentford and United fans in the stands and later in the pub. Bees fans were full of pride at the performance and result, while United supporters were left frustrated and looking for answers.

Plenty of raw reaction and honest voices from a memorable morning at Lionel Road.
