Billy Grant, Dave Lane and a load of Bees fans pull together an impromptu pre-match podcast discussing the forthcoming season’s expectations. They discussed whether or not the pundits have written us off again and compared their predictions to The Championship Bloggers who predicted how their teams would do in Beesotted in (Part 1 here and Part 2 here).
Plus we look forward to the forthcoming Sheffield United match.
Punters’ Brentford Predictions:
Four-Four-Two magazine – 10th
Racing post – 8th
Daily Star 5th
The S*n – 6th
When Saturday Comes – 16th
The Sunday Times (Rod Liddle) – Relegation
The Guardian – couldn’t even be bothered to mention us
Sky Sports – 14th
