The Ealing Road Podcast

Mike of the Unholy Trinity Everton Podcast joins the other Mike ahead of Everton’s trip to the Gtech on Saturday. It’s seventh in the Premier League table against eighth, both teams come into the game on 46 points, only separated by goal difference, and it’s ahead of Everton’s first Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium next weekend… this game is MASSIVE for both sides. Mike talks us through Everton’s season under David Moyes, the fantastic 3-0 win over Chelsea last time out, and the impressive form of James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Iliman Ndiaye.

On this week’s episode, Jon Harland, Brentford writer for the Hounslow Herald, joins Mike, Craig and Dan to look ahead to the remaining run of Premier League fixtures. Brentford currently sit seventh in the table with seven games to play, and with back-to-back home games against Everton and Fulham - two teams also in the hunt for Europe - coming up, we really are approaching the business end of the season. Jon walks us through pre-season expectations in media circles, how Keith Andrews has evolved across the season in his press conferences, and why Brentford are in pole position to secure a European finish.

On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect on the 0-0 draw at Elland Road against Leeds United. Keith Andrews’ lineup in West Yorkshire somewhat reflected the growing injury list that is hampering Brentford’s European challenge, but a gritty defensive performance from his side meant the Bees stay in seventh place ahead of the March international break. We briefly chat about the game, have a discussion around our players representing their countries over the break, and look ahead to Everton and the run-in.

On this week’s episode, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on the 2-2 draw at home against bottom-of-the-league Wolves. Brentford rued the chance to go four points clear of eighth place and exert some control in the race for Europe after throwing away a first half two goal lead against a Wolves side undergoing a bit of a revival under Rob Edwards. We chat about the differences between the first and second half, whether Brentford have the bottle to make history this season, and a trip to Leeds up next before the international break.

On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect on Brentford’s FA Cup exit at the hands of West Ham on penalties at the London Stadium. It was a tough night for Keith Andrews’ side who never really quite got going in East London despite coming from behind twice in the game. The boys chat about the penalty shootout, Michael Kayode’s performance, and the one thing left to play for this season… 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.

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on the 0-0 draw away at Bournemouth, analyse the run-in looking at form teams and remaining fixtures, and look ahead to West Ham away in the fifth round of the FA Cup. There was little to say about Brentford's trip to the Vitality Stadium, other than it was a point gained after the Cherries missed several chances to win the game. We chat about the injury to Rico Henry, what that means, and why we looked a bit leggy. We also look at the impending run-in from our perspective and from the eyes of those around us, as well as having a chat about West Ham's recent revival under Nuno Espirito Santo.

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, Dan and Craig reflect on a fantastic game vs Arsenal at the GTech. The Bees faced top of the league Arsenal at home on the back of 2 away wins at Villa and Newcastle. Arsenal took the lead in the second half before a quick response where KLP latches onto a long Michael Kayode throw in! Both teams with chances to win the game but end up having to settle a point which makes the title race and the race for Europe even more interesting! We chat about Igor Thiago, Kayodes long throws, who is our best CB, the Thomas Frank sacking and Macclesfield in the FA Cup on Monday night. Learn more about your ad choices.

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, Craig and Dan reflect on the MASSIVE 1-0 win away at Aston Villa. It looked as though our winless run at Villa Park was set to continue after Kevin Schade’s first half red card for a kick out at Matty Cash. But Dango Ouattara’s first goal since returning from AFCON, coupled with a huge defensive shift in the second half, meant Keith Andrews masterminded Brentford’s third win over Villa this season. We chat about the red card incident, defending as a unit, and the upcoming trip to Newcastle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 dissect the 2-0 defeat away at Chelsea last Saturday. Brentford were left ruing missed chances following a positive performance that unfortunately ended with Liam Rosenior’s first Premier League points in charge of Chelsea. We chat about the multitude of spurned opportunities in front of goal, whether Kevin Schade is being unfairly scapegoated, and if Romelle Donovan needs to start seeing more Premier League minutes after his debut at Stamford Bridge.

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.
