Across the Seas but Forever Bees - Season Six!

[Boston Bee]

WE ARE BACK!

Across the Seas but Forever Bees returns for a 6th season, all gloriously spent in the Premier League. What a long, strange trip it's been.

The brilliant Glenn Houlihan and Greville Waterman come in to ASFB Towers to discuss what may prove to be our most successful season yet. Or not. There are no easy seasons in the PL.

What a difference a year makes. Everyone had us picked to go down last year at this time, and who could blame them. But 2026-2027 is on paper our strongest squad ever, which coupled with the giddy good feelings around the squad suggests this could be a season for the ages.

Or not.

Spurs at home. And we might be very good. All things are comin' up Brentford as we approach the coming season. We've allowed Greville Waterman and Glenn Houlihan back into the studio to discuss the start of what could be a glorious campaign.

Thanks for listening and for all the feedback, some of it even positive. We appreciate your opinions so much. And the offer stands: If you'd like to come on and add your voice, please write to [email protected], and we'll get you on the podcast!

20 years ago today we drew with Scunthorpe in front of almost, but not quite, 4000 fans. For any club, hammering Spurs and Birmingham City in 4 days time would be legendary. But from where Brentford once was to who they are now is literally without precedent. We've rubbed the right lamp, and asked for the right wish. In truth this is the doings of a short list of heros, above all Matthew Benham and Phil Giles. What a wonderful adventure we're on.

Michel Cowdrey is in the studio to talk with Tim and Greville about the Atlanta Fan Fest and to join in the celebrations of a great start to the season.

The first two games were for deciding if all those pre-season pundit's predictions were worth a damn (hint: no). Now that the transfer window has...say it with me...'slammed shut', the real business of Premier League football begins!

Seattle's own Keith Koster joins Tim and Greville in the studio to discuss his forty or so years of Brentford support. We discuss the start and what the first two games might have meant, and we look forward to Sunderland next week.

This is the clean version. A shouty, obscenity-filled version available upon request.

A special podcast of just Tim Searls and Greville Waterman, where we look past Chelsea to the international break. This is the beginning of the end of this first segment of the season, if you will. So how are you feeling?

By looking back at a week that featured a draw at Bournemouth and a win at Reading, we look forward to Chelsea. We also discuss what we've learned about who the 2026-2027 iteration of Brentford FC is. Where have we struggled and where it has succeeded. A fun listen!

Smashing Chelsea and going into the international break 4th in the Premier League is crazy. Just, crazy. And before you ask, neither Greville or Tim were there when we last beat Chelsea at home (I had school that day).

The wonderful Darren Wynn comes into the studio with energy and perspective on how far we've come, and what a wonderful ride it's been. We might belabor the point here at ASFB Towers, but this is all fantasy and long may it continue into the future.

A richly deserved point at Villa Park could have been three. But we remain invincibees for another week.

Looking back at a fascinating week in North Birmingham (a term I've just invented) is Charlie Corr from the NYC Red Lion Massive and of course the great Greville Waterman. The visit of Liverpool is always a special occasion, and we look forward to that, and we discuss Manchester City's plight and Fulham's struggles with as little schadenfreude as is possible.

For the third time this season I'd rather support us than the cheating barstewards that came to the Gtech last week. Yarmoliuk gets suckered into a red, but was it?

Donovan Stabler joins us in the studio this week, all the way from Kansas City, and we have a proper conversation to untangle what the heck happened, and to some extent talk about who we are. Naive? Too physical? Not cynical enough?

I'd still rather be us!

Hull. Who thought that might have gone better? A draw is maybe the fair result, but we all come away from the match muttering about what might have been.

Tim Searls and Greville Waterman are he to discuss Hull, and to look forward to tricky fixtures at Sunderland and home to Forest.
