Three Holmes Under the Hammer for Premier League Opener - Brentford v Crystal Palace Preview Podcast

Ep. 1072

Premier League football is BACK. And Brentford kick off their season with a match against South London rivals Crystal Palace - a team that the Bees have never beaten in the lifetime of most Bees fans


In season opening celebratory style, the Beesotted crew of Billy TheBee Grant, Dave Laney Lane, Matt The Allard Allard, Ali Mullalley and Lewis Sherlock Holmes met at The Globe pub to reminisce over their summer and look forward to the season ahead


In fact this was a podcast with not ONE Holmes but THREE with the crew being joined by Brentford Womens Captain Mollie Holmes and also Crystal Palaces' very own Lee Holmes to give their views on various things


In the show this week:


Suzanne Rowan, wife or late Brentford technical director Rob Rowan - the spearhead of the Brentford B-team, talks to us about the Heart of West London partnership, a collaboration of charities and medical professionals who have come together to help save lives by highlighting and tackling heart problems

Neil from Liverpool podcast The Anfield Wrap talks to us about the signing of midfielder Cavilerho and tells us why he believes the attacking midfielder's move is win-win for both parties (catch the full podcast here https://pod.fo/e/25e424)


The latest Igor Thiago who was signed then injured immediately in true Brentford style


Whatever happened to Jens Cajuste. Literally just about to pull on a shirt and parade around the stadium the he was on his way packing back to Italy


Whatever happened to Archie Gray? Deal was supposedly done. Leeds fans got upset. Then it seems their bosses got cold feet sending him across to West London 


Rumours that Wolves are looking at Yoanne Wissa with a price of £25m being touted


Is Ivan Toney really going to Saudi Arabia for lots and lots of money?


We caught up with Millie Holmes and Regan Graver from Brentford Womens team on the eve of their first match against Leatherhead.
