    VILLA PREVIEW | @UTVFANCHANNEL | International Break Done With Villa Up Next 🟣

    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan are back to reflect on the international break, and Luke from the UTV Fan Channel joins to give the lowdown on Aston Villa ahead of Brentford’s trip to Birmingham on Saturday. Mikkel Damsgaard shone for Denmark, scoring twice and assisting once over two games, but will return to West London on the injury list… we chat about the impact that may have on the starting XI. Kristoffer Ajer scored a worldie for Norway, while Kevin Schade and Vitaly Janelt both got minutes for Jurgen Klopp’s Germany - with the outside interest in Schade amid his contract extension, we weigh up his value. Finally, Luke joins in the wake of Villa’s slow start to the season. We chat Unai Emery 2.0, how his summer signings are settling in, Brentford’s triple over Villa last year in league and cup, and how the game might pan out on Saturday.

    Chelsea PUMPED At The Gtech By Brilliant Brentford 🐝

    On this week’s episode, Mike and Craig reflect on an EMPHATIC 3-0 win over West London rivals Chelsea at the Gtech. A fairly uneventful first half was followed up by a second half blitz from Keith Andrews’ team, in which Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho ensured Brentford took all three points against Chelsea for the first time at home in the Premier League. We chat about some hilarious Chelsea headloss on the timeline, a man of the match performance from 20-year-old Jannik Schuster, Jordan Henderson’s return to the Gtech, Igor Thiago finally getting off the mark in the league, and Brentford’s standout performers this season.  FOURTH in the Premier League and still UNBEATEN going into the September international break… WALLOP.

    Tom of the Chatting Chelsea Podcast joins Mike ahead of the West London Derby at the Gtech on Friday night.

    Bees Draw In Bournemouth Despite Lacklustre Performance 🍒

    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Callum are back to reflect on the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on the south coast. Kevin Schade opened the scoring with his customary goal against the Cherries, but Keith Andrews’ side were pegged back by Justin Kluivert’s finish just before half-time. The hosts then took the lead through Marcus Tavernier, but ANOTHER Schade goal meant the points were shared. We chat about Dango Ouattara’s substitute performance against his former club, why we were so sloppy in possession at points, and Reading and Chelsea up next in cup and league.

    Points Shared With Sunderland Amid Refereeing Controversy 😒

    On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and CALLUM - yeah, that’s right - reflect on the 1-1 draw against Sunderland at the Gtech on Saturday. All of us were confident heading into this one, so the first half onslaught from Regis Le Bris’ side brought us all back down to earth very quickly. A disallowed goal, coupled with numerous chances for the visitors had us all thinking the same thing: “how the hell are we going into half-time at 0-0?” And when Vitaly Janelt opened the scoring in the second half for his second goal of the campaign, it looked as though we’d snatch all three points. But, despite a much-improved second half, Sunderland ensured they’d leave West London with a share of the tally. We chat about some contentious refereeing decisions, the form of Mikkel Damsgaard, Jannick Schuster’s impromptu Premier League debut, and a trip to Bournemouth up next… Follow us on X: https://x.com/TheEalingRoad Follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ealingroadpod/ Subscribe to Mike's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDpHRfEbmB0m9W5jOP4ReTQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    SUNDERLAND PREVIEW | @WTFSunderlandPodcast | Black Cats Up Next 🐈‍⬛

    Ross from the WTF Sunderland Podcast joins Craig ahead of Brentford's challenge against Regis Le Bris' side at the Gtech on Saturday. Sunderland secured European football on the final day of last season at Brentford's expense, in what was a truly remarkable first season back in the Premier League. Trips to AC Milan and AZ Alkmaar await in what could prove to be another special campaign. Ross chats about Sunderland's summer business, including Kevin Danso and Malick Fofana, how the Black Cats have fared in their opening games, and last season's last gasp winner for the home side at the Stadium of Light.

    Points Shared With Leeds At Elland Road 🤝

    On this week's episode, Craig and Dan dissect the 1-1 draw at Elland Road against Leeds United. The Brentford fans that made the trip up to West Yorkshire were treated to a first half that saw Keith Andrews side completely dominate Leeds from minute one. While big chances were few and far between, Kevin Schade's excellent flick before half-time put The Bees in a strong position. But the second half was almost the complete opposite, with Leeds piling on the pressure - pressure which eventually told when Dominic Calvert-Lewin tucked away an equaliser... We chat about *that* penalty incident, the Sangare x Janelt pivot, and Sunderland up next at the Gtech.

    Six Past Birmingham In The Cup With Leeds Up Next ft. Beren Cross ✍️

    On this week's episode, Mike and Dan call an impromptu podcast to reflect on the 6-1 thrashing of Birmingham City at St. Andrews, and Mike chats to The Athletic's Beren Cross ahead of Brentford's trip to Leeds on Sunday. A second strength team travelled to St. Andrews for the second round Carabao Cup fixture against former regular opposition in Birmingham, but it mattered not. Keith Andrews side hammered the Blues 6-1, with Nathan Collins bagging a brace, and Jaidon Anthony shining. Up next, The Bees make the trip to Elland Road for what hopefully is not another Keith Andrews v Daniel Farke classic. Beren spoke to Leeds' brilliant start to the season, their summer transfers (including Harry Wilson), and how the game might go on Sunday. Dan and Mike also talked Ethan Pinnock after his Coventry departure was confirmed, and we address the El Hadji Malick Diouf 'HERE WE GO'...
