Yah, I'd rather be us. But being so, so close to a semi-final (you know we'd have beaten Leeds at home!) and a trip to Wembley in the FA Cup... Still, I'd rather be us. We are so lucky to get Michel Cowdrey back into ASFB Towers to discuss his slightly made football holiday, and to help us look forward to the Fan Fest coming up. From there we're trying not to take the West Ham match too badly as we nervously looking forward to a match against a suddenly rampaging Wolves. It...
Michael White joins Tim and Greville in the studio to embark on a conversation about the crazy win against Burnley and then the meek draw at Bournemouth. But this podcast is much more than that. What you'll hear is a free-flowing conversation about where Brentford is and who Brentford is, about VAR (and ways maybe to improve it), and about the squad going forward during the injury plagued latter stages of the campaign. It's always a joy to talk football, but Michael's insigh...
Thanks for tuning in as we range over a busy week of football, from the Thursday match against the top rated team in all of English football to four days later doing combat with the seventh best team in the National League North; from Champions League to the sixth tier of the English leagues. And you know what? They were both tough. Different tough, but challenges all the same. In the studio with me to examine a pivotal week in this wonderful season is Greville Waterm...
The Brentford women have a season that in many ways has exceeded even their own lofty expectations! The woman are out in front in their league and looking at the possibility of promotion. This Sunday they play #2 in Saltdean, and it's at the Gtech! There is so much at stake in this match, and it should be incredible. Gary Enstone and Richard Merritt are in the studio to talk the rise and rise of this great club. If you cannot get to the Gtech there's so much h...
The pure fantasy continues unabated as we follow a gutsy win at Villa Park with our first win at Newcastle since 1934. Greville Waterman and Tim Searls are in studio to look back at a match at St. James Park that had more improbable twists than a Harry Potter novel. Confess: Who rubbed that genie lamp and wished for all this 15 years ago? The small task of Arsenal is up ahead of us, but we're Brentford. Humble but brave, as the former manager used to say. ...
Dustin Senor is back in the studio finally, and along with Greville Waterman we're talking the crazy and memorable events that occurred at Villa Park last Sunday. It had a bit of everything, this one! Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
On the 13th anniversary of a memorable day at Griffin Park we remember the Rosler team that almost pulled off a remarkable Cup shock for the ages. New York's own Charlie Corr is here to add much needed expertise to a discussion of a less profitable day at The Gtech and, along with Greville Waterman, looks ahead to the challenging trip to Villa Park. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
I've been asking since the start of the season "who are we", and this week we found out: We're quite good. Has there been a more gloriously played defeat in our history? We battered Chelsea 0-2! The rest of this season will be a wild ride, but it's going to be fun supporting these players and this manager, and of course this club. Along to celebrate our success (all things are relative after all) is Brian Corrigan from San Francisco and the ubiquitous Greville Waterman...
Adam Bishop is in the studio with Greville Waterman and Tim Searls this week. What a week it's been. A thorough demolition of Sunderland, and a smooth win at Hillsborough in the FA Cup. Brentford is just so much fun to support. Shout out to the Seattle Brentford Supporters Club! Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
What a difference a few weeks makes. After the capitulations at Spurs and Man City it could have gone so wrong. Yet here we are in the new year 7th after the demolition of Everton in their new building. In the studio to discuss all these holiday gifts are Glenn Houlihan and Greville Waterman. What a time to be a Bee! Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
Forget it's Wolves, forget the capitulation at City. Three points, 12th, looking down at Spurs, 10 points from trouble. What blip? To discuss the changing emotions a win brings are Glenn Houlihan and Greville Waterman. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
Blip? Worrying trend? Managerial crisis? All of those? Something entirely else? History only will judge, but to try to make sense of this draw with Leeds the pod reaches out to our expert from Iowa Glenn Houlihan. Along with Greville Waterman and Tim Searls the mini-crisis, or whatever this is, is unpacked. Go all-in again Man City Wednesday? Save it for a 'must win' against Wolves? We agree to disagree. Really entertaining talk about all things...
Burnley swept aside (though it didn't feel that easy for about 85 minutes!), we look ahead to the small matter of a week featuring Arsenal and "Thomas Frank's Spurs". Somehow the Brentford Miracle is rolling again, and we're starting to look up rather than down at this table. Which will never get old. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
Greville and Tim have to discuss a disappointing Saturday down in South London, but then we're on to a bigger conversation about what we know about Brentford Football Club after a quarter of the season gone. Are we on the right track? Are we in a false position at 12th in the table, or is this who we rightly are this season? We try to make some sense of the most turbulent off-season and first ten matches in many years. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as we...
You follow up wins against Liverpool and Grimsby Town with an amazing, fantastic, engaging guest who describes it all with insight and character. A podcaster's dream! Alison Roberts is in the studio to talk about her Brentford experience, and to add knowledge, humor and personality our summary of a wonderful October. Such a pleasure to talk to yet another amazing American fan, which I hope comes across. Greville and Tim are here as well, as we talk a big view of a team on th...
Abhi Goyal from the NYC Massive down at the Red Lion visits the pod to talk with Greville and Tim about the surprisingly comfortable win against West Ham, the state of the Bees, and a look forward to Liverpool and Grimsby. Just discussing Josh DaSilva again as a member of the club is the feel-good moment of the year. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
A week of reflection and anticipation, as the international hiatus finally gives way to a Monday of Brentford. Greville and I are equal parts eager and anxious as we look ahead to West Ham. No question, after all the players out and with a new novice manager the questions as to our ceiling and floor dominate our thoughts. Text the pod! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
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! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
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! I'd love to hear from you directly as well - please email me at timsearls@hotmail.com.
