The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

This week’s Beesotted crew are Dave Lane and Gary GP Paul who, like everyone else at Griffin Park at the weekend, were treated to a real Five Star Brentford performance, with The Bees dispatching of Sheffield Wednesday with relative ease… the win really does set up Friday night’s West london derby with Fulham perfectly from a Brentford point of view… the Cottagers will be wary of what could happen again on their own patch. We hear from Thomas Frank after Saturday's win, the fans of both teams after the final whistle, speak to Bees journo Jim Levack ahead of that trip to Fulham, as well as Brentford kit collector, Nick Bruzon, to discuss the best and worst Bees kits ever seen at Griffin Park.

The Beesotted crew met to chew the fat over a busy week of news at One Over The Ait, the epicentre of Brentford history past, present and future. With the Coronavirus spreading significantly there is talk that football matches may need to be played behind closed doors... surely Griffin Park's final ever match won't be played out in an empty stadium? We talk Sheffield Wednesday fan Dean Reynolds about the weekend's must winner, get some Pontus news, hear more about the Push Up Brentford and Brentford Reimagined history projects, ask what Brentford would have done in a Kiko Casilla-type situation, and squabble a bit over the weather.

Billy TheBee Grant and xG Dave Anderson joined Matt Beedle in the Lovesport studio to discuss the Cardiff Match. Two points lost or one point gained? Plus they ask - are poor officials ruining the game? What could be introduced to ensure the officiating of matches is improved.
And with ten games to go until the the final league match at Griffin Park, we discussed the first in our Brentford GREATEST series. The Greatest Travesties at Griffin Park.  And there were a few corkers.

Brentford went to Cardiff in search of three points to get their playoff push back on track

And two goals up things were looking good for the Bees

But Cardiff hit back with two late first half goals. And could have got all three points

This week’s Beesotted crew consists of Dave 'Laney' Lane and Greville 'The Water Man' Waterman, who are still buzzing from THAT Ollie Watkins worldie! 
The boys look back at Saturday’s blustery 2-2 draw with Blackburn and ask 'does the loss of points wave goodbye to a reaslistic chance at automatic promotion with West Brom and leeds both winning', or are we being dragged into a premature ‘run-in-panic-room’? There’s a third of the season to go, surely nothing can be ruled in or ruled out?
We hear back from Bees and Rovers fans back in the boozer, as well as Brentford head coach Thomas Frank, and look ahead to Tuesday’s skip up the M1 to Kenilworth Road for the next ‘must-winner’ against bottom of the table Luton Town, and a little further ahead to the weekend trip to Wales when Cardiff City play hosts. Contrasting away games for sure.
With Fulham tickets about to go on sale at a whopping £35 a pop for non concessions, we ask is this fixture too big to miss, even with it being on the telly? TAP points are proving to be useful at the moment with the club prioritising using this loyalty scheme… it going to be a MASSIVE Friday night out in Putney!
On social media Emiliano Marcondes seems to being singled out for abuse all over again, is this harsh or is he too lightweight? Why is he being trolled over other players particularly. And Where The hell is Pontus??
Brentford Reimagined is new book that uses some amazing technology to bring the black and white past back to life. Dave talks about how the book has come about, and the process, who is involved and what has been included? This is Brentford's own version of the amazing WW1 'They Shall Not Be Forgotten'.
Last but not least, Hatters Matters, with luton fan Thomas Wheatly, whose side need to over-turn a 7-0 first leg aggregate under the Kenilworth lights... no chance, surely?

Brentford were back at Griffin Park facing an in-form Blackburn Rovers. And things did not go exactly to plan as the Bees found themselves two goals down and staring defeat right in the face. 

But a wonder goal from Ollie Watkins followed by a penalty from Said Benrahma saw the Bees draw level. And set up a pulsating last 20 minutes where Blackburn were hanging on for dear life. 

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