The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

The Beesotted crew licked their wounds and headed into town to look back at the Swansea Cup defeat, and try and fathom what on earth happened in that second 45 minutes in South West Wales on Sunday afternoon.

We listen to the post-match thoughts of the fans who had made the pilgrimage to Swansea, as well as talk through the Quarter Final Cup draw, where we missed out on Manchester City.

We also chew the fat over how the team will fair for the rest of the campaign, discuss the goal keeping situation at GP, and announce that the boardroom at the new Brentford stadium will be named after Harry Curtis, the club's greatest ever manager. Terry Butcher will be gutted!

In the studio this were: Dave 'Laney' Lane, Robin Hood and David 'xG Dave' Anderson, and we are joined by Gabriel Sutton from @_FootbalLab who gives his enlightened thoughts on the mighty Bees!

We had a chat to Bees fans and Hamlet fans in a rather lively bar after the match - with Jack Payne giving us one of his legendary songs

It was round two as Brentford welcomed Barnet to Griffin Park to thrash out the replay of their FA Cup match-up

And an early goal from Sergi Canos followed by goals form Jeanvier and Maupay meant that the result was never in doubt - despite a second half rally from Barnet after the Bees brought on a number of B-team players.
