  • Villa Stung Again & Late Drama Against Chelsea 👀

    Villa Stung Again & Late Drama Against Chelsea 👀
    Sep 17 2025
    On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on Brentford reaching the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after penalty shootout victory over Aston Villa, as well as a dramatic finish against Chelsea in the league. Another positive performance from Keith Andrews’ Bees ended in a penalty shootout against a struggling Villa side. Villa took the lead through Harvey Elliott, but an absolute worldie from Aaron Hickey levelled affairs in the second half, before Hakon Valdimarsson became the hero in the shootout after a tricky 90 minutes. We chat about Keith’s approach to the cup and how it differs from Thomas Frank, the performance of debutant Benjamin Arthur, and our frightening strength off the bench. We also touch on a well deserved point against Chelsea at the Gtech. Fabio Carvalho’s last minute equaliser meant the spoils would be shared after a Cole Palmer-inspired turnaround from the World Champions. We talk Jordan Henderson, long throw carnage, and players running themselves into the ground for Keith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Charlie Patrick from the Blue Brothers CFC channel joins Mike ahead of Chelsea’s visit to the Gtech on Saturday night. Enzo Maresca’s side has an unbeaten start to the season, drawing with Crystal Palace, thumping West Ham away, and beating Fulham at Stamford Bridge - both wins coming without star player Cole Palmer who is missing with a groin injury. We chat through Chelsea fans’ views on Maresca and Boehly-Clearlake reign so far, Chelsea’s upcoming Champions League campaign, and previous Premier League meetings between Brentford and Chelsea.

  • Late Heartbreak In Sunderland & Deadline Day Business 💼

    Late Heartbreak In Sunderland & Deadline Day Business 💼
    Sep 2 2025
    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on last minute defeat at Sunderland on Saturday. Brentford fell to defeat in the North East despite a reasonably positive performance. Igor Thiago’s second half opener looked like it had made amends for Kevin Schade’s penalty miss, but Enzo Le Fee brought things level from the spot before Sunderland snatched all three points late on. Off the back of that result, and following the departure of Yoane Wissa to Newcastle on deadline day, we thought we might be in line for a bit of business before the window shut on Monday night. Reiss Nelson arrived on loan from Arsenal, but that was Brentford’s only incoming before the window closure. We reflect on the defeat, chat about Brentford’s summer business, and analyse how the squad is looking as we go into the first international break. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Graham Falk from the WTF Sunderland Podcast joins Mike ahead of Brentford's trip to the Stadium of Light on Saturday. Regis Le Bris' side were brought back to earth following a 3-0 win over West Ham on the opening day; a 2-0 loss away at Burnley, followed by a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Huddersfield, means Sunderland will be looking to get back on track when they face the Bees in the north east. We chat about what went wrong against Burnley, Sunderland's big summer spend, and Le Bris the manager. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Bournemouth Beaten & Villa Dealt With ✅
    Aug 27 2025
    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on back-to-back wins for Keith Andrews’ Brentford side in league and cup. A response from the team was needed after the season opener at Forest, and a response was what we got against Villa. We chat about the changes Andrews made, Dango Ouattara’s debut, and our defensive solidity. We also react to Brentford securing safe passage through to the next round of the Carabao Cup following a 2-0 win at Bournemouth. Plenty of changes were made but - uncharacteristically - Brentford won pretty convincingly on the south coast. We chat through the formation, and Andrews’ impressive game management.

    Aug 21 2025
    Luke Robinson from the UTV Fan Channel joins Mike ahead of Aston Villa's trip to the Gtech for Brentford's first home game of the season. Villa - in a similar way to Brentford - were uninspiring in their season opener against Newcastle, but still managed to pick up a point despite former Bee Ezri Konsa's second half red card. We walk through that game, why Unai Emery's system needs tweaking against Brentford, and Villa's PSR struggles which have led to an underwhelming transfer window. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Opening Day Defeat At The City Ground 😒

    Opening Day Defeat At The City Ground 😒
    Aug 18 2025
    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on opening day defeat after Brentford lost 3-1 against Nottingham Forest. Keith Andrews start to life as head coach was a tough watch. 3-0 down at half-time with next to no cohesion across the pitch has unsurprisingly sparked a fair bit of headloss. We gather to, hopefully, quell some of that. We discuss the lineup, Igor Thiago’s performance, and changes for Aston Villa at the Gtech on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Aug 15 2025
    The Athletic's Nick Miller joins Mike ahead of Brentford's season opener against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. We chat about a messy summer Forest which culminated in Nuno Espirito Santo's team being promoted into the Europa League following Crystal Palace's demotion to the Conference League. Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis has been central to much of the drama - we dissect his role at the club, and talk about *that* Morgan Gibbs-White contract announcement video... We also discuss Forest's summer business, and the type of game to expect on Sunday afternoon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
