    New Investment, Henderson Joins & Backroom Takes Shape 👀

    On this week’s episode, Mike and Craig reflect on ANOTHER dramatic couple of weeks for Bees fans. First, we had Keith Andrews’ backroom staff appointments in the shape of Mehmet Ali from Arsenal, Martin Drury from Valencia, and Neil MacFarlane from Brentford B.  Antoni Milambo’s arrival from Feyenoord was then confirmed, and not long after that, it broke that Brentford had ‘won the race’ to sign 35-year-old England international Jordan Henderson on a free transfer. Then came the news that Matthew Benham had secured new investment in the club in the form of Gary Lubner and Matthew Vaughn. Oh, and Bryan Mbeumo still hasn’t joined Manchester United… PLENTY to get into. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Keith Andrews In, Christian Norgaard Out | Therapy Session No.2 🙂

    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another turbulent week for Brentford fans, starting with reports that Keith Andrews is set to succeed Thomas Frank as Brentford manager. The Irishman was part of Frank’s backroom staff last season serving as set piece coach, but has no experience as a first team coach at any level. We chat about the appointment, Phil Giles and Matthew Benham, and how Andrews could shape our summer transfer window. That news was quickly followed by club captain Christian Norgaard being poached by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Norgaard has been at the club since 2019, and was an integral member of the squad that took us from the Championship to the Premier League. We discuss what his departure means for Brentford.

    A Miserable Weekend All Round 😒

    On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on derby day defeat at the Gtech - a result that put a dent in the already-dented European hopes following Man City’s defeat against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. We talk about watching the FA Cup on Saturday and the emotions that every Brentford fan would’ve been feeling, that were unfortunately compounded by defeat against Fulham in the derby. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa both reached 19 Premier League goals at the weekend - we chat about their prospective futures at the club, as well as another excellent performance from Yehor Yarmolyuk. We also look ahead to a trip to Wolves on the final day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
