Bees Never Felt More Like Singing the Blues – Chelsea Preview Podcast

Ep. 1182

Billy “TheBee” Grant and Dave “Laney” Lane hook up in the virtual joint after a frustrating trip to Sunderland where Brentford led through a Thiago header, missed a penalty and had an Outtara strike chalked off for offside before being sucker-punched by a last-minute winner.


With two weeks to lick our wounds during the international break, the lads look at how Brentford’s bumper contingent of internationals fared – the most in the Premier League bar Liverpool and Spurs – including Jordan Henderson stepping in to captain England.


Statman Jonathan Burchill drops in with a bag of penalty facts and funk, and we’re joined by Stamford Chidge from the Chelsea Fancast to give us the lowdown on the Blues.
