  • BRIGHTON PREVIEW | @KieranMaguire | Seagulls Up Next 👀
    Nov 5 2026
    Football Finance Expert and lifelong Brighton fan Kieran Maguire joins Mike ahead of Brentford's trip to high-flying Brighton on Sunday. It wouldn't be right to have Kieran on and not briefly touch on the Manchester City case. Kieran talks us trough his coverage of the story, what the punishment could look like, and just how long it might take until we reach that conclusion... Away from that, Kieran sheds light on Brighton's fantastic start to the season under Fabian Hurzeler which has them sitting pretty in third in the Premier League table. We chat about some of Brighton's standout performances, what's impressed Kieran most about Hurzeler's football, and what to expect when Brentford make the trip to the South Coast on Sunday.

  • Back To Winning Ways Against Glasner's Forest 🤝
    Nov 2 2026
    On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-0 home win against Nottingham Forest. In a fairly uneventful game, Nikola Milenković's own goal and Igor Thiago's second half strike earned Keith Andrews' side a much-needed win at the Gtech following our midweek Carabao Cup exit at Sunderland.

  • The Draws Continue As Brentford Held By Hull 🐯
    Oct 27 2026
    On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on yet ANOTHER draw, this time away at Hull City. Dango Ouattara's second half equaliser - his first of the season - means Brentford have now drawn 13 of their last 21 league games, winning just four in the process. We discuss Keith Andrews' record in the Premier League since February, and whether he's getting the best out of this team. We also chat about Keith's lineup against Hull on Sunday and the exclusion of Mikkel Damsgaard, the poor form of our attacking options, Caoimhin Kelleher's (or Aaron Hickey's) clanger, and how we're feeling ahead of Sunderland in the League Cup and Nottingham Forest at home at the weekend.

  • Liverpool Sink Nine-Man Brentford Amid Controversy 🤬
    Oct 20 2026
    On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on the 2-1 home defeat against Liverpool in which Keith Andrews side were reduced to nine men by referee John Brooks. Brentford took a deserved lead just before half-time with Keane Lewis-Potter adding to his already-impressive start to the season, but the game turned in first half injury time when Yehor Yarmoliuk was shown a straight red for a headbutt on Jeremy Jacquet. Liverpool piled on the pressure in the second half and it told, with Victor Munoz and then Alexander Isak completing the turnaround. Vitaly Janelt's dismissal deep into injury time means he'll miss Brentford's trip to Hull at the weekend. We chat about the red card incident, the form of Igor Thiago, and how Keith may choose to line us up against the Tigers on Sunday.

  • LIVERPOOL PREVIEW | @TheAnfieldWrap | Liverpool Up Next 🔴
    Oct 15 2026
    Neil Atkinson of The Anfield Wrap joins Mike ahead of Liverpool's trip to Brentford on Saturday. The visitors have had a fairly mixed start to the season and come five places below Brentford in ninth, following their 3-0 loss at home to Man City last weekend. They did, however, thump LASK in the Champions League in midweek, with marquee summer signing Bradley Barcola netting a hat-trick. Neil chats us through Liverpool's injuries - including whether Bees fans can expect to see the likes of Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai - how Liverpool fans feel about the Man City case, and the kind of game we can expect on Saturday against Andoni Iraola's Reds. 👉 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.

  • Brentford Earn 2-2 Draw Against Aston Villa 🟣
    Oct 12 2026
    On this week's episode, Mike, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on the 2-2 draw away at Unai Emery's Aston Villa. It was another rollercoaster match for Keith Andrews' side with Yehor Yarmolyuk giving the away side lead - a lead, however, that was short-lived. Summer signing Nicolas Jackson immediately levelled for the hosts with a smart finish beyond Caoimhin Kelleher. In the second half, it was the complete opposite, with John McGinn earning Villa the lead before Kristoffer Ajer's first goal of the season drew Brentford level. We chat about the injuries to Jannik Schuster and Kevin Schade, Dango Ouattara's cameo performance in the second half, Keane Lewis-Potter in the no.10 role, and Liverpool up next at the Gtech.

  • VILLA PREVIEW | @UTVFANCHANNEL | International Break Done With Villa Up Next 🟣
    Oct 7 2026
    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 🐝
    Sep 21 2026
    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.
