The Ealing Road Podcast

We are back.

On this week's episode, Mike, Dan and Craig look ahead to the 2026/27 Premier League season - Keith Andrews' second top flight campaign after his debut in which Brentford marginally missed out on European football.

We chat about the summer arrivals of Jaidon Anthony, Callum Wilson and Mamadou Sangare, and whether Brentford are indeed done in the transfer market.

We also discuss the current state of the squad from defence to attack, what our lineup could look like on the first day against Spurs at the Gtech, and give our 26/27 Premier League predictions...

On this week’s episode, Mike, Dan and Craig reflect on final day disappointment, as our European dream comes to end at Anfield following a 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

Just not to be on the final day for Keith Andrews’ Bees, despite an impressive second half performance, and despite other results going our way. Kevin Schade’s equaliser, and a last-gasp header from Dango Ouattara left those inside Anfield dreaming of what could’ve been.

We chat about falling just short on the final day, Jordan Henderson’s prolonged substitution, the upcoming summer transfer window, and our End of Season Awards.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace, as Brentford’s European dream goes down to the final day of the Premier League season.

Keith Andrews’ side struggled in large parts against Oliver Glasner’s Conference League finalists, but a Dango Ouattara brace ensured our quest for Europe would end at Anfield against Liverpool on the final day.

We chat about a woeful 87 minutes, what our summer transfer window could look like, and ALL the permutations heading into the Matchweek 38.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan look back on the 3-0 defeat away at Manchester City.

Once again, Brentford rued missed chances away from home, and, on another day, could’ve been on the right side of refereeing decisions, but goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush meant the Bees left Manchester pointless.

We discuss the contentious decisions from the game, Mikkel Damsgaard’s impact this season, and the European picture after wins for both Brighton and Bournemouth at the weekend.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on Brentford’s first win since February - a 3-0 home victory against relegation candidates West Ham.

A Michael Kayode-engineered own goal, as well as a goal apiece from Igor Thiago and Mikkel Damsgaard meant Brentford briefly climbed into sixth in the Premier League table, before retaking their resident seventh spot following the weekend’s fixtures.

We chat about Brentford’s top ten most expensive signings, a new signing reportedly waiting in the wings, Josh Dasilva’s return to Premier League football, and a trip to Manchester City up next.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Brentford came out of an early first half onslaught only trailing by one goal, and spurned several guild-edge chances in response, before the hosts doubled their advantage just before half-time. Mathias Jensen’s late second half worldie was but a consolation, as Keith Andrews’ side extended their winless run to seven in all competitions.

We chat about Igor Thiago’s plethora of wasted opportunities, Josh Da Silva’s return to the matchday squad after 816 days out, and look ahead to a must-win at Gtech against West Ham coming up next.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on ANOTHER draw in the Premier League, this time a goalless affair against our West London rivals Fulham at the Gtech.

Brentford came into the game with another chance to move into sixth and with the Cottagers looking to draw level on points with Keith Andrews side with a win. But, in keeping with recent West London derbies, the occasion fell flat, and to a 0-0 draw.

We chat about out most frustrating results of the season, why the game lacked the necessary bite, and how our European hopes look in light of the result.

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on another 2-2 draw at the Gtech, this time against David Moyes’ Everton.

Brentford took the lead twice in the game, with Igor Thiago netting his 20th and 21st goals of the season, but were pegged back by an equaliser in each half. The result means we stay in seventh place in the Premier League table with six games to go.

We chat about a lack of leadership on the pitch, a Michael Kayode x Trent Alexander-Arnold comparison, and a HUGE West London derby against Fulham up next.

Mike of the Unholy Trinity Everton Podcast joins the other Mike ahead of Everton’s trip to the Gtech on Saturday.

It’s seventh in the Premier League table against eighth, both teams come into the game on 46 points, only separated by goal difference, and it’s ahead of Everton’s first Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium next weekend… this game is MASSIVE for both sides.

On this week’s episode, Jon Harland, Brentford writer for the Hounslow Herald, joins Mike, Craig and Dan to look ahead to the remaining run of Premier League fixtures.

Brentford currently sit seventh in the table with seven games to play, and with back-to-back home games against Everton and Fulham - two teams also in the hunt for Europe - coming up, we really are approaching the business end of the season.

Jon walks us through pre-season expectations in media circles, how Keith Andrews has evolved across the season in his press conferences, and why Brentford are in pole position to secure a European finish.
