Beesotted - The Brentford Fanzine

Hope there’s free coach travel after seeing these extortionate ticket prices for the Rennes friendly in France 🇫🇷 🐝 😂

Just a reminder of how MASSIVE we are from thailand 🇹🇭 😉 🐝

Rumours had been circulating for weeks but Damien Duff joins Brentford as first-team assistant coach; the former winger, who led Shelbourne to the League of Ireland Premier Division title in 2024, will begin work with the Bees later this month.

Recorded once again in the familiar surroundings of One Over The Ait pub, Billy TheBee Grant, Dave Laney Lane and Matt The Allard Allard continue their in-depth and wide-ranging conversation with the Brentford boss, digging deeper into the moments, players and decisions that shaped the Bees' season.

Keith reflects on some of Brentford’s most memorable performances, including the impressive away victories at Aston Villa and Newcastle. He discusses the resilience shown after Kevin Schade’s red card at Villa Park and offers a fascinating insight into Schade’s game, explaining why some of the winger’s most important contributions can often go unnoticed.

Among the many topics discussed in Part 2 are:

• The victories at Aston Villa and Newcastle and what they revealed about Brentford’s character
• Kevin Schade’s development and why his contribution is sometimes underrated
• Penalties, controversial refereeing decisions and the fine margins that define a season
• Aaron Hickey’s future and whether midfield could be part of his long-term role
• Vitaly Janelt’s importance to the squad
• Yehor Yarmoliuk’s continued development and progression
• Michael Kayode’s infectious personality and impact around the club
• Brentford’s young players out on loan and their potential pathways into the first team
• The frustration of narrowly missing out on European qualification
• The costly run of draws and the late chance at Anfield that still lingers in the memory
• Why Andrews believes the season demonstrated just how far Brentford have come
• Areas where the squad may need strengthening this summer
• The balance between developing talent and recruiting Premier League-ready players
• Whether Brentford will finally receive the recognition they deserve next season
• Summer transfer plans, World Cup ambitions and what lies ahead

As with Part 1, what shines through is Andrews’ honesty, football intelligence and unwavering belief in the direction Brentford are heading. Whether you're interested in recruitment, tactics, player development or the bigger picture of how a modern Premier League club operates, this episode offers a fascinating insight from the man at the helm.

For Bees fans, it’s another essential listen.

World Cup quiz question four s**t stirring 😂 🎣

Looks as if Panathinaikos want to sign Jensen with more Greek press stories and links. Bees have triggered year extension so they’d realistically have to pay €10m I would imagine.

Worrying news, former Bee Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch again playing for Denmark against Ukraine. He got up after 10 mins and went to the ambulance. Fingers crossed all is ok.
