I'm sure that @Mikej23 and @CraigTbfc will be pleased that the pod features on this week's Square Ball Propaganda show.

And it's for the analysis rather than Tweet of the Week - Leicester is their go to for weird, pervy stuff.

The best of the Brentford podcasts.
Fully agree with comments on being potentially ‘thin’ at centre back - few seem to agree.
However, I think Collins is a better player than was suggested.

I post this on Friday and by Tuesday they’ve gone all R18.

Fear what would happen if I say anything about ‘Across The Seas’.

Can’t believe they didn’t even mention Tweet of the week! Thanks for pointing this out was a good listen!

Whitney Houston 'Dance with Somebody' has just come on the radio whilst dropping my kids to swimming and I'm not gona lie, Craig's 'Tweet of the Week' has killed it for me.

2 points from me;
1. I didn’t tweet it! Just read it out!
2. You don’t need to lie to us, you still sang about dancing with Sangare

Never heard a reaction before like Bramall got after the game on Saturday! His performance was abysmal with both sets of supporters angered. The game was all about him all afternoon with constant interference and inconsistentcy across so many areas. But what comeback is there? He was fourth official on Sunday at the Arsenal v Chelsea game and this week I believe he is refereeing Liverpool. The amount of noise around his last performance must have attracted attention from the PGMOL but here he is carrying on as if nothing had happened...I really really hope we don't see him again this season. It won't be a happy occasion for him

Much better listen when Mike hosts this pod cast surprised it doesn’t get more traction on here.

Good episode.. probably correct in that midfield 3 of Sangare, Jensen and Damsgaard could work well Sunday

"the club was built around Thomas Frank over 7 years". "The club was built in his image”" This may be a surprise to Matthew Benham and Phil Giles.

"Thiago deserves to be dropped".

"some fans aren't too far away from Andrews out""

I did come away from this pod feeling a bit down in the dumps !

Although I do respect how pissed off fans who went to Brighton must have felt after the red card after 20 mins.

Yes, whilst sometimes they talk sense some of what they say is, IMHO, immature nonsense.

As for Daniel Topping wanting to see what a big name manager with a clearly defined style of play would look like. This is a complete comprehension problem on how the club is run. The manager doesn't decide on how we play football. That comes from Matthew Benham via Phil Giles. It's pretty pointless having a pod where some hosts are so misinformed as to how the club works.

Then there's "we're throwing away points" (re red card at the Brighton game) and we will be disappointed if we miss Europe by a few points, Followed by "we were never going to win at Brighton anyway". Just a stream of conciousness. It's like listening to a conversation down the pub with a mate that has no idea what's going on or what he said 2 minutes ago.

Funny how criticism of our podcast comes almost exclusively from the GPG… 🤣🤔

Why is that?

And I know it's an incorrect assertion of yours. You won't be surprised to hear that of course.

Can you point us towards this other feedback you have please?

LOL

This is just so cute. I suppose X has a lot more brentford fans than on here. Or the 6 replies on youtube are so much more interesting. Is that the implication?

To be fair, the demographic you pick up elsewhere on social media is probably a lot younger which means (and I'm generalising wildly) it lacks the long term insight and perspective of many GPGers. It might possibly also be more swayed by newer PL era fans who tend to be more demanding, impatient and sometimes have unrealistic expectations. The GPG isn't immune to all of that but its the best informed and sanest Brentford community anywhere online. That's why I've stuck around here for the best part of 25 years.

For what it's worth, I like your podcast and listen to most episodes. It's very results driven, swingy and reactive in its outlook, but that's just reflective of supporters generally. I'm glad you are out there producing this content and hope that you continue to do so. I just find it a hard listen after a bad week when it can sometimes give voice to some wild and irrational thoughts more typical of casual TV watching fans of Big 6 clubs. The suggestion that KA is in danger of the sack indicates a complete failure to understand how the club works. That's fine for a casual fan in the pub 8 pints in, but you would hope for a more informed view from an analytical podcast.

Keep up the good work but remember that just because there are some scary views on Twitter it's not helpful or entertaining to amplify them.
