This is a proper Beesotted exclusiveA 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 wasThese 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 waterFrom 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 lifeIt’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 becomeIf you want to understand the journey - this is essential listeningThe lost tapesThe real BrentfordMartin Allen, front and centreBeesotted are planning another social at the end of the season.

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 CarrickThey 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 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
