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!
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!
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!
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!
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...
