The Ealing Road Podcast

On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect a bonkers game of football at Burnley, but an important win nonetheless. VAR controversy marred the seven-goal thriller at Turf Moor, with Burnley having two goals disallowed in the second half. We chat about the refereeing decisions, an inspired performance from Mikkel Damsgaard, and Bournemouth up next in the league. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 1-0 win at Macclesfield which secured our passage into the fifth round of the FA Cup, and look ahead to a return to Premier League action against Brighton on Saturday. Brentford required a second half own goal from Sam Heathcote in order to get past their non-league opposition, and that slice of luck sets up an all-Premier League clash against West Ham in the next round - we chat about how seriously we should take this opportunity. We also chat about Brighton’s recent slump under Fabian Hurzeler, and the kind of game we can expect from Brentford at the weekend.

On this week’s episode, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on ANOTHER HUGE win away from home in the Premier League, this time at Newcastle. The Bees travelled to St. James’ Park on the back of a special victory at Villa Park, and ended up victorious yet again on the road. Newcastle took the lead against the run of the play, before Vitaly Janelt and Igor Thiago completed a first half turnaround. The hosts equalised in the second half, but Dango Ouattara’s 85th minute strike ensured we’d travel back to West London with all three points. We chat about the VAR controversy, Dango’s best performance of the season, and Arsenal at home up next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Igor Jesus’ goal sent Forest on their way to only their third win on the road in 11 before Taiwo Awoniyi sealed all three points late on. We chat about the injuries to Mikkel Damsgaard and Kristoffer Ajer, Keith Andrews’ reluctance to use Reiss Nelson and Romelle Donovan, and Brentford’s upcoming run of fixtures: Aston Villa away, Newcastle away and Arsenal at home.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on Brentford progressing into the fourth round of the FA Cup, the latest transfer ongoing at Jersey Road, and a trip to Stamford Bridge at the weekend. A comfortable 2-0 win at Hillsborough set up a standout fourth round cup tie away at National League North side Macclesfield - we chat about the strength in depth we now have, and what a cup run would mean to the fans. Kaye Furo put pen to paper and followed in the footsteps of Igor Thiago by becoming the second Club Brugge striker to trade Belgium for the Premier League. We discuss the role the 18-year-old Belgium Youth International might play, and the links to Lazio winger Matteo Cancellieri. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s episode, Mike, Callum and Dan reflect on a HUGE away win at Everton, and a point at home against Spurs. Thomas Frank returned to the Gtech and gave us a very Brentford performance… against Brentford. That culminated in a boring 0-0 draw, but there was nothing boring about Keith Andrews’ side’s win away at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Igor Thiago’s hat-trick meant the Bees start 2026 in SEVENTH place, just a point outside of the Champions League positions. We chat about the Vitaly Janelt remontada, Mikkel Damsgaard’s inspired return to the XI, and Sunderland at home on Wednesday night. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
