The Season Is Back - From Relegation Favourites To European Tour? | Brentford v Tottenham Preview 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?
You can check Billy’s preview in The Guardian right here
and Sherlock wrote an article here on Brentford’s sixth season syndrome
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

Frantic Match Ends All Square - Bournemouth 2 Brentford 2 Post Match Podcast
14:51|It finishes Bournemouth 2, Brentford 2 at the Vitality after a hugely hard-fought afternoon that, by the end, had pretty much everything.Brentford took the lead through Kevin Schade, only for Bournemouth to fight their way back into it, equalise and then go ahead early in the second half. But Schade wasn’t finished there. A wayward pass out from the Bournemouth goalkeeper fell straight to the Brentford forward, and he still had plenty to do — but he produced a brilliant finish to bring the Bees level once again.From there, it became frantic. The game opened up, chances came at both ends and, in the closing stages, it really could have gone either way. Bournemouth will probably look back with the greater sense of frustration, having created a host of excellent opportunities that, on another day, should have been enough to win the game. But Brentford had their moments too, and by the final whistle it was a breathless, end-to-end finish with both sides throwing everything forward.A point apiece, Brentford remain unbeaten, and Kevin Schade walks away with two very different goals and a rather large chunk of the afternoon’s headlines.We spoke to the Brentford fans straight after the final whistle to get their thoughts
