The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Full house in the studio as Beesotted goes head-to-head with Bees Breakdown ahead of the trip to Tottenham - Billy TheBee Grant, Laney, The Allard and The Gowler all in the hot seat

What a difference 12 months makes

Last season, the pundits were almost universally tipping Brentford for relegation. This time around, they seem almost scared to put us anywhere near the bottom three. But where exactly have they predicted Brentford will finish?

We look back at an action-packed pre-season, with some input from Jonathan JB Burchill bringing us plenty of friendlies facts and a little bit of funk

Then it's time for the big new season feelings section - Premier League predictions, who finishes in the top four, who gets relegated and how do the crew see the season playing out for Brentford?

Meanwhile, ahead of Saturday's big game, we're looking to create a huge atmosphere around Spurs

There'll be plenty going on before kick-off, including the Beesotted walk from Kew to the ground and a special display before the match. Fans are urged to wear red and white and get into the ground by 5pm

And if you're in Kew beforehand, get yourself down to The Steam Packet for afternoon beers by the river and the Beesotted quiz which kicks off around 4.15pm

We also hear from Ricky from Last Word on Spurs with the opposition preview and his thoughts on Tottenham ahead of the game

Plus, a reminder that Beesotted will be live on TalkSPORT Drive Time with Darren Bent and Dany Goldstein on Thursday 20th August from 4pm to 7pm - with Brentford fans joining us live

Brentford finish pre-season in style with a thumping 7-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their final friendly before the new Premier League campaign

Billy TheBee Grant chats to Bees fans after the match as the Bees put on a real show at the Gtech - with Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade both grabbing two goals apiece.
A hugely encouraging end to a strong pre-season for Keith Andrews and his Brentford side, with the new season now just around the corner

We get the fans' reaction from the stands, look at the big talking points from the final game and ask the big question - are the Bees ready for the new campaign?

Billy TheBee Grant and Dave Laney Lane reflect on Brentford’s pre-season so far on the way back from France following the Bees’ 4-2 win over Rennes - with a first for Beesotted as the podcast is recorded whilst in an open-air lido in Jersey

They look at Keith Andrews’ first proper pre-season in charge and how the new head coach is shaping his Brentford side ahead of the new campaign

There’s a look at the summer comings and goings, including Jordan Henderson’s departure, the arrival of record signing Mamadou Sangaré, plus Callum Wilson and Jaidon Anthony joining the squad

How are the new signings settling in? What are we learning about Andrews’ Brentford? Which players are impressing - and what still needs sorting before the season kicks off?

And the big question - how do Billy and Laney think pre-season has gone for the Bees so far

Plus The Gowler from Bees Breakdown gives us a statistical and tactical lowdown on new signing Mamadou Sangaré - looking at what the numbers tell us about the midfielder and what he could bring to Brentford

The Bees sign off their trip to France with a cracking 4-2 win over Rennes over in France - and Billy TheBee Grant is out and about soaking up the atmosphere.

Rennes fans were impressed with Brentford saying that they were the best team they had played pre season and would easily make the top 3 in their league which would get them Champions League

We chat to Bees fans and Rennes supporters in the stands and down at the beach bar, getting their reaction to the game, the trip and the early signs of a new-look Brentford side.

Plus we hear the brand new Sangaré song ringing out from the terraces for the first time.

Goals, beers, beaches, French football and plenty of Bees chat - it’s the post-match view from the fans.
