The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Swansea came to Griffin Park on terrible form. The perfect opportunity for the Bees to get back on track.  But it took less than 30 secs for Swansea to find the net.  And within half an hour they were three up. 

We spoke to #Swans & Bees fans in the pub after the match

In their first ever RodCast (podcast radio show mash-up), The Beesotted crew met up a very Christmassy White Hart pub in Southwark before moving onto LoveSport Studio and then back to the pub again to discuss Brentford's draw up at West Brom. The Swansea Way and whether Brentford is suffering from the same problems that Swansea suffered from. 

Plus they spoke to ex Swansea player Alan Tate

Brentford returned to The Hawthorns for their first league match in 26 years with a few injured players - Ollie Watkins. Rico Henry. Said Benrahma. Kamo Mojotjo - returned to tye squad. 

And they got away with blue murder in the first half as #wba missed a hatful of chances. 

They steadied the ship but went behind to an inevitable goal.  But fair play to the Bees. Tgey didnt give up and up pops Lewis McLeod for a last minute equaliser tgat had Bees fans, players and the bench go completely bonkers. 

We spoke to fans straight after the match on the terrace, on the street and on the train

It’s doom and gloom in West London as Brentford slipped to a double loss - against Boro and then Sheffield United. The Beesotted crew met up at The George IV pub in Chiswick in an attempt to comfort each other as things on the pitch look more and more glum.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that things have not started well for Thomas Frank as Head Coach at Brentford… five defeats in six matches, and two very difficult fixtures ahead in the next week, mean that the pressure is on the Dane to stop the rot, and stop it fast.

On this week’s Beesotted Pride Of West London Radio show, Dave Lane gives his honest views on the current state of affairs and suggests that time may be running out for Thomas. Whether that prediction proves premature, the next few games will decide, but the season has fast turned from one of excitement, to one of struggle in the past two months.

We are also joined by Brentford legend, Bob Booker, who shares his insight on the Bees’ form, and talks about his other club, Sheffield United, who come to town on Tuesday night. Bob will also be signing copies of his book in the club shop before the match.

Ben Humphries from the Travelling Blade also looks forward to the Championship clash under the lights at Griffin Park.

With the international break over, time to focus back on the league. And the Beesotted crew of Billy TheBee Grant. Dave Laney Lane. And Savvy Bee hooked up on The Globe pub Brentford to discuss the recent MASSIVE fallout between Championship clubs and The EFL. And we also spoke to Boro fan Andrew Rubble bout Boro's chances of maintaining their unbeaten record against Brentford this weekend.

0m - INTRO

4m 17 sec - EFL TV deal. Beesotted has investigated further what all the fighting is about. Is it a case of just greed? Or is it a case that there could have been a better deal put on the table that suited ALL the clubs in the league. Or is a mix of the two? Did Brentford vote for the deal. Or against the deal? Or is it more complicated than that?

42m 14 sec - Five from the Hive. We chat to Boro fan Andy Rubble.

Dave ‘Laney’ Lane, Matt ‘The Allard’ Allard and The Liberal convened at the Fuller’s One Over The Ait pub, in the shadow of the new Brentford Stadium and Kew Bridge, to raise our classes to Rob Rowan and talk about all things Bees this week.

As well as paying our respects to the club’s technical director, we poke at the QPR defeat and find a few more angles, and discuss what’s required after the international break when we face Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion in a little over a week.

There have also been some more developments in the proposed new ‘Prem Two’ Breakaway League, as well as some Red Button news.

We cap it all off with some rather gloomy predictions on what has been a dark week for the club both on and off the pitch. Come On You Bees.
