The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

The curtain raiser for Brentford’s second season in the Premier League saw a superb comeback by The Bees. Another conceded corner goal was compounded further with a second within seconds of the second half restart. A long way back. But back we came. Ivan Toney got off the mark stabbing home from close range, then Josh Desilva produced a trademark, left foot, curler to send the packed Bees away end potty. Listen to what the #BrentfordFC and Leicester City fans thought of the match. COYB

The season is back. And the Beesotted crew may have been hanging out in three different countries but that didn't stop them from cramming themselves into the virtual joint and shooting the breeze on the Bees as they looked forward to the first match of the season against (and) Leicester.

Billy theBee Grant (@Billythebee99) in Javea, Dave Laney Lane (@Beesotted100) in Majorca and Matt The Allard Allard  (@theMattAllard) in Twickenham got together to chat Womens Euro success, Brentford's match against Real Betis and the imminent signing of Damsgaard from Sampdoria.

Plus Will the Winker (@allsoppwill) gives a statistical lowdown on the Bees - looking forward to the new season

Brentford Football Club’s rise to the Premier League has without doubt transformed the stature of the West London club – from the bottom to the top tier of English football in little over a decade – with owner Mathew Benham ripping up the traditional football rule books along the way.

Scorned for daring to do things differently, The Bees’ steady rise has made the footballing world eventually sit up, take note, then try and replicate their cutting edge blend of statistical analysis, a left-field recruitment strategy, a perfectly executed business rebrand and new stadium model… not to mention a strictly enforced ‘no dickhead’ policy.

This hard-back talks to the players, head coaches, directors of football and the owner, who have made Brentford’s rise possible – all of whom share their unique experiences and the vital decisions that were made en route to the top. We also feature the experiences of Bees supporters who have shared in the journey and how they had to learn along the way.

The Brentford Revolution is an essential read for anyone keen to discover just how little old Brentford became one of the most talked about clubs in football.
