Michel Cowdrey is in the studios to talk Fan Fest (with a bit of Josh DaSilva gossip thrown in!), and along with the ubiquitous Greville Waterman we get to glory in this great club taking it to the hapless Manchester United. They really don't like playing us! Another super-fun conversation with a knowledgeable and entertaining guest. I hope you enjoy the pod as much as we did making it. Studio editor: Tim, people can't be 'ubiquitous'. Please try to do better... Text t...
Glenn Houlihan checks in from Iowa to discuss the difficult transition that Brentford Football Club is making from the 'Thomas Frank Era' to who we are now. Along with Tim Searls and Greville Waterman an attempt is made to make sense of three matches that in sum tell a story. Who are we now? And what can we become? Text the pod!
Our long club-wide nightmare is finally over. Tarky and Rowlands now have a third musketeer of shame. Rob Pittman is the most Bees-tastic guest maybe ever! Rob and Greville and Tim look back at a frustrating evening up in Sunderland, and ruminate on one dramatic transfer window. Never dull. Text the pod!
What a week! A huge win at home versus Villa and a League Cup win at Bournemouth has the nay-sayers (and they are legion, aren't they?) suddenly claiming they never had us tipped for relegation. We know who you are! Jay Altair comes up the coast to join Greville Waterman and Tim Searls in Studio 2 for a superb discussion of a superb week. Text the pod!
Well. That was something. What it was hopefully was a glitch in the matrix and all will be right with the world again after Villa. 'Cause Jeez that was pretty terrible, Keith. In therapy talking it over with me is Alex Drake, all the way from North Carolina, and Greville Waterman, all the way from Norf London. Text the pod!
All of us to varying degrees are worried how we replace all those goals from last season. Steve D'Amico from Orlando and Greville Waterman try to talk Tim Searls off the roof as we consider the options and circumstances. The season is here! The Keith Andrews Era officially begins against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Can't wait. Text the pod!
It starts again. Charlie Corr is in the house from New York City and Greville Waterman is here from North London to talk the state of the Bees. We're two weeks from the start of our fifth season in the Premier League, against ALL predictions from the 'experts'. Let it be ever thus under the radar. It's going to be a fun season and I hope you'll give the pod a listen. And if you'd like to take part please do not hesitate to contact me at timsearls@hotmail.com . ...
This Summer is breaking the mold for Brentford, who usually watch other club's close-season chaos with a bit of disdain. Well, madness has struck our club, with the manager gone and star players on the way out (or not!). Tim Searls asks the questions that need to be asked to Greville Waterman in a fascinating podcast about what the club is and what it might be in the upcoming season. I start the podcast far more concerned than I end it, which is nice. Text the pod!
It's what my Italian barber used to say to me when I was a kid. Still true, and never so much as when we, at almost whiplash speed, replace one quite good keeper with another who could be even better. Tom Colwell is up from Philadelphia and Greville Waterman calls in from North London to think about what it all means - in this first close-season podcast. Text the pod!
We're blessed to support this club. For going on a decade now, each season has been a wonderful adventure - each one different, each with it's ups and downs. But how many clubs have our ups/downs ratio??? To look back and to peak forward we have Iowa's own Glenn Houlihan back, along with Greville Waterman from North London. It's the final podcast of the season, a podcast that was started by our OG host Ryan Dull (Comic Book Guy to many of you). It's once again b...
We didn't want to qualify for any stinking European tournaments anyway. Oscar Thompson, all the way from Hollywood California, and Greville Waterman, all the way from North London, are the fantastic guests this week. On a glorious day in West London on the penultimate weekend of this remarkable season, Brentford comes unstuck in three fateful minutes and the points go to Fulham. It never feels good to lose, and it always feels worse when you know you shouldn't have lost.&n...
Every time you think this adventure couldn't get any more surreal, you come to something even better. Eighth place at stake with two to play, the possibility of Brentford Football Club playing in Europe (and let that sink in for a minute), a squad of players that just goes from strength to strength...and Fulham at home. We look back at some memorable Fulham moments and ahead to an exciting 4 team mini-league sprint to the end of the season. Text the pod!
Go back 15 years and tell me that we'd be brushing aside Manchester United like that. Tell me we'd be 9th in the Premier League and realistically thinking of a place in Europe next season. I'd think you mad, especially as we had a final home match with Hartlepool up ahead. We drew 0-0 btw. Fantasy land every week. Charlie Corr is here from NYC along with Greville Waterman to talk about a magical week in which Nottingham Forest and Manchester United were put to the swor...
Every once in a while all your worries are swept away as your football club just puts on a show for the ages. Brighton had it all: goals galore, pantomime villians getting their due (long overdue), penalty shouts and some silky football to make it all riveting. It was quite good, is what I'm saying. Greville wanders into the studio to discuss it all, before we all go on a week's vacation. Text the pod!
Alex Drake join Greville and Tim in the studios this week to discuss a strange tilt at the Emirates. Brentford more than holds their own, and show real determination to get back into the match from down a goal. There might be a problem on Thomas Frank's plate, one he hasn't had for about two years: A genuine competition for places, as players return from long term injury. We chew over the options and the opportunities. A really fun podcast, that I hope you enjoy as mu...
I hope I never get so lazy that I don't remember that this is all fantasyland. Newcastle United and Chelsea, in the Premier League, and we gave as good as we got. That still should boggle your minds. To remind me of how good the good times are, we have in the studio Paul Thomas and Greville Waterman. We think back to Chelsea at Griffin Park in the FA Cup, we talk about the matches of the last 5 days, and we look ahead to Arsenal away. Arsenal. In the league. ...
Glenn Houlihan is back in the studio with Greville and Tim to talk about a wonderfully entertaining battle on the south coast last weekend. Winning at Bournemouth, our fifth away win in a row, was a great way to start an international break. Superb set-piece goals, a complete team effort sees us take all three points. And with Rico, Aaron, Josh, Igor, Gustavo, Mattias, and Michael Kayote all getting closer, we are looking up rather than over our shoulders. Which is how you w...
Management finds Abhi Goyal lurking around the studios and invite him back in for another week. And Greville Waterman is back as well! This game can be cruel. One year you're top of the Championship with 97 points, the next Brentford is beating on you 4-0 and you're all but down. One year you're the first name on the teamsheet, the next you're being doubted by all around you. There's little room for sentimentality. We get 3 points from Leicester City, 1 from Everton.&n...
We can't win on the road...until we can't lose on the road. The narrative is changed a bit since the New Year! To discuss a 1-0 demolition of West Ham and to look forward to Leicester City is Wichita's own Ryan Jones, and New York's own Abhie Goyal. We meet a new Yank Bee, learn who the guy with the accordion in the orange jump suit is, and even get a chance to discuss our recent success or otherwise against AFC Richmond. Thanks for giving the pod a try! Text the pod!
Abhi Goyal is in the studio this week to talk about his route to following the Bees, and he's a wonderfully fascinating guest. Abhi has supported Brentford since he first flew over a small ground with KLM written on the roof of one stand, and his is a great story. With no match to preview and 2/3rds of the season just about done, we turn to Abhi and Greville Waterman for a informative conversation as to where Brentford football club stands and how we got here. I hope you enjoy as ...
