The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

The Bees are back in action again after a prolonged international and FA Cup break and the Beesotted boys are back too, this time down the garden centre, to talk all things Brentford ahead of the match against Everton at Lionel Road

Billy The Bee Grant and Dave Laney Lane aren’t quite pushing up the daisies just yet, but hanging baskets and compost talk are definitely on the menu as the duo prepare for a possible European Tour with their beloved Bees with just seven games to go

We look back to Martin Allen’s legendary appearance at the Beesotted Social back in 2018, the podcast of which has never been broadcast before

From the archives - it’s 2018, 13 years after The Great Escape and Martin ‘Mad Dog’ Allen takes centre stage in a hilarious evening at a Beesotted social in what can only be described as the lost tapes

The recording from this event went missing in action

The lost tapes

So this has never been broadcast before. This is a proper Beesotted exclusive

A rare chance to hear Martin in full flow - unfiltered, full of energy, humour and honesty - as he dives into Brentford history and tells it how it really was

These aren’t just stories - they’re snapshots of a different era. A Brentford team that was scrapping, surviving and never really expected to be anything more than a lower league club fighting to keep its head above water

From dressing room chaos to off-field dramas, from ticket fiascos to away day antics, Martin brings the character, passion and personality of the club roaring back to life

It’s a world away from the Brentford we see today. But in amongst the laughter, you can hear the foundations being laid - the spirit, the resilience, the identity that shaped the club we’ve become

If you want to understand the journey - this is essential listening

The lost tapes

The real Brentford

Jacob ‘The Gowler’ Gowler and Matt ‘The Allard’ Allard go deep into the numbers and tactics behind Brentford’s recent run and what’s coming next.

They kick things off by reviewing their predictions from the Brighton, Burnley and Bournemouth matches - what they got right, what they didn’t, and what the data says in hindsight.

Then it’s into the detail - a full statistical and tactical breakdown of the Wolves and Leeds games, including game state swings, patterns of play and where Brentford controlled (and lost control of) matches.

One key question under the microscope - do Brentford concede more goals just before or after half-time or late in the game? The numbers suggest a fairly even split, with slightly more goals conceded in the second half (0.71 vs 0.65 per game), hinting at late-game vulnerability

There’s also a proper data-led debate on Rico Henry versus Keane Lewis-Potter at left back - what do the metrics say about defensive solidity, progression and attacking output?

Looking ahead, the pod previews the next three fixtures, asking whether Everton and Fulham are overperforming, and digging into Manchester United’s tactical approach under Carrick

They finish up by predicting points The Bees will pick up from the next three games while asking the big question - where will Brentford finish this season? With European qualification spots potentially extending further down the league table than usual, the race is very much on

Billy ‘The Bee’ Grant is getting how fans feel about the potential European Tour after a hard-fought stalemate as Brentford dug in for a point against Leeds.

We speak to Bees fans after a few pints - getting the lowdown on a disciplined defensive display, chances missed, and whether it’s a point gained or two dropped on the road.

With Brentford facing a trip to Elland Road this weekend to take on Leeds United, and after having been pegged back from a two-goal lead against Wolves last Monday, Billy ‘The Bee’ Grant and Dave ‘Laney’ Lane got their heads together to try and make sense of all things Bees and non Bees before the international break.

As well as discussing these two fixtures, the lads celebrate Igor Thiago’s call up for Brazil, Jordan Henderson’s England selection and chin-wag about the other players who will be representing their countries in the coming couple of weeks in some high-stake World Cup play-offs.

Jacob ‘The Gowler’ Gowler and Jonathan ‘JB’ Burchill also provide some stats, analysis and some funky facts to another packed show

We got lost in the madness which was the Afroman trial. Possibly the maddest trial ever. And the funniest

Plus we chat to Oscar from All Leeds TV about Leeds United
