Welcome to the second part of BeesPod's season review and pre-season preview of the 2019-2020 season.
On the show, Iain, Mem & Matt talk squad lists, cup-runs and ballons. With expert commentary from Carla Devine, AntBFC & Ben Young, it's an action packed show!
BeesPod Statement Below
"Following an email sent by Professor Mel Stein, the personal lawyer to Anthony Kleanthous and the legal advisor to Barnet Football club, we have removed 2 quotes from Episode 25.
Any confusion caused was unintentional and we will be making no further comment at this time."
The BeesPod Team
Part 1 of a 3 part review show as Mem, Iain and Matt (Loudmouth) cast a weary eye back of over the first few months of the 2019-2020 season.
Early season optimism was quickly punctured when the quality of Still's early signings showed his (& their) age. The Bees got off to a rocky start and were sliding down the table as winter arrived.
With special contributions from Carla Devine, Ben Young and Anthony, no stone is left unturned in the search for understanding Barnet's mid-table mediocrity.
Tune in for part 2 later this week. As ever, tweet us your thoughts @beespod and subscribe to Loudmouth's (excellent) YouTube channel in preparation for next season.
Enjoy the show!
Iain, Mem & Matt
An excellent, record-equally defensive run has propelled the bees to safety and guaranteed National League football for 2019-2020.
After a 0-0 draw with league leaders Leyton Orient, Iain and Mem catch up and share some long overdue thoughts on the Bees' form and future.
Enjoy the show
Happy New Year!
Barnet's 2018-2019 season looking to be petering out into non-league lower mid table mediocraty. Iain & Mem visited Boreham Wood on Boxing Day, watching a poor Bees side beaten 1-0 in front of 950 frustrated away fans.
Fast forward several days and there's a spring in our step and excitement in the air for the new year. Darren Currie's appointment as Head Coach opens up a new world of opportunity for the Bees who, after a wretched 2017 and 2018, must be hoping for a fresh start!
Enjoy the show and let us know what you think on twitter @BeesPod
Happy New Year!
Iain & Mem
It's back!
After 3 eventful years in the football league, Barnet have returned to their spiritual home of non-league football.
In today's show, Iain & Mem are joined by some special guests as they preview Barnet's upcoming 2018-2019 season. Will John Still lead the Bees back to the promised land, or are we set for another 12 months of disappointment?
Get in touch with the show via soundcloud or on twitter @beespod.
See you at Aldershot and come on you bees!
Barnet kicked off 2018 with a promising performance but a disappointing result against Swindon Town.
The Bees have now lost 4 games on the trot and, alongside fellow strugglers Chesterfield and Forest Green, are in danger of being marooned at the bottom of the table.
On today's show, Charlie and Iain have a quick chat about the game, the manager and the crucial transfer window over the next month.
Enjoy the show!
