Joining us on this show is Ipswich fan and podcaster Rich to preview Saturday's huge clash at London Stadium.
The Premier League new boys are yet to pick up a win but have only been beaten by Man City and Liverpool in their six games so far.
And as for West Ham, Julen Lopetegui desperately needs three points on the board - especially at home - or he risks pressure really starting to mount.

West Ham became the latest team to suffer one of the Bees' buzzing starts in the 1-1 draw with Brentford.
After Bryan Mbuemo's strike in the first minute, it was Tomas Soucek once again dragging the Hammers out of trouble with a massive goal. Is the Czech midfielder disrespected and under-appreciated by supporters? And is he one of the best the club have had in the Premier League era?
The boys also discuss Julen Lopetegui’s bold ...

A tactical disaster class from Julen Lopetegui against Chelsea saw West Ham embarrassed 3-0.
Will and James have contrasting views on our new gaffer. Are there signs of progress or is it already turning stale after just five league games.
The boys discuss our calamitous defending and our worst new signing. Plus, there is a guest appearance from ex-Premier League ref Mark Halsey after that controversial decision not to hand West...

Thank you super Danny Ings. Who thought we would be saying that?
Will and James chat about the underwhelming performance from West Ham against Fulham - despite a respectable point in the end.
The lads share their thoughts on Julen Lopetegui’s style so far. Are there reasons to believe it’s close to clicking or do the Hammers remain poor defensively and dull given the talent going forward?

The boys are back to discuss the 3-1 defeat to Man City. A positive performance, it’s just a shame they have a goal machine robot up front!

Manchester City superfan and radio host David Mooney joins the show this week to preview West Ham’s clash against the champions.
Julen Lopetegui is on a roll, guiding the Hammers to two wins in the last two along with back-to-back clean sheets. However, it doesn’t get much tougher than facing City while Erling Haaland is on fire.

Julen Lopetegui has his first win as West Ham manager.
New signings caught the eye, Jarrod Bowen got his first goal with the captain's armband on and West Ham got their first clean sheet since January - against a London rival who James has a particular dislike for.
Despite the win being the first in a new era for the club, it was one of the old guard in Tomas Soucek that put in a huge performance in midfield and was again on the ...

Friend of the show and big Crystal Palace fan, Max, joins us this week to help preview the trip to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Our last trip to south London was a complete nightmare after losing 5-2 to the Eagles and Julen Lopetegui will be desperate to avoid a repeat of that as he searches for his first win as West Ham boss.

A new era has begun. In defeat.
The 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend was a frustrating one and, as seems to be the case with most things these days, completely split the fanbase. One half saw positives in the performance and signs that Julen Lopetegui's philosophy will eventually come good, while the other half felt like is much of the same as we saw under David Moyes and have already started comparing everything.
Yep, you ...

In an exclusive interview, Will caught up with former West Ham player and manager, Harry Redknapp, ahead of the new season.
In this short but sweet chat, Redknapp gives his views on Julen Lopetegui, West Ham's summer transfer business, his views on Mohammed Kudus and what he's expecting to see from the Hammers in 24/25.
Redknapp then goes on to tell us a hilarious story about the time he thought he'd bumped into Slaven Bilic at t...

WE'RE BACK!
It's been an eventful summer and after a long break, James and Will are back for another season of the podcast. As is often the case with West Ham, there's loads to catch up on.
We've seemingly won the transfer window, the club has decided it's going to charge fans, regardless of age or ability, the same price across the board (essentially pricing out thousands of fans from ever going to a game again) and the new se...

After a month break, James and Will are back for a little midsummer catch-up about all things West Ham (and a little bit on England at the Euros).
The lads discuss transfers, the new fixture list, the concessions fiasco and loads more.
We also welcome the podcast's principle sponsor Miriam Errington from Miriam Errington conveyancing for a chat about how her sponsorship of the show has benefitted her business down under.

Julen Lopetegui was confirmed as West Ham’s new manager just hours before the FA announced Lucas Paqueta has been hit with six charges - four relating to suspicious betting and two for non-compliance with an investigation.
It capped a mad end to yet another rollercoaster campaign for the Hammers as legend David Moyes waved goodbye after spearheading the club’s most successful period in decades.
And to cap of the season, Will Pugh...

West Ham go to Man City with almost the entire non-Gooner London population, including some Hammers fans, wanting them to lose to deny Arsenal the title.
David Mooney from The Blue Moon podcast joins Will to discuss that notion plus the idea that Man City’s record fourth consecutive Premier League title, and any future and previous success is tainted by the financially manufactured way it has been procured.
The Hammers are set to ...

As final home games of the season go, that was pretty good. The sun was out, we won and most of the fans inside the London Stadium stayed around to give David Moyes heaps of appreciation before he departs at the end of the campaign.
Will wasn't pleased with the relatively under the radar approach West Ham gave to his send off but it was still nice to see close to a full stadium stay behind after the game to give him some love. That...

You didn't need us to tell you how bad it was at the weekend. The 5-0 scoreline says all you need to know. The players appear to have given up and seemingly so has David Moyes as he edges closer to the exit door.
And reports this week suggest his replacement will be Julen Lopetegui, who has reportedly agreed terms with the club having rejected both AC Milan and Bayern Munich. Sections of the fanbase say it's an underwhelming appoin...

It's generally accepted that David Moyes is nearing the end of what has been a wonderful four year tenure as manager of West Ham. But whoever his replacement is, how much time will he be given to rebuild?
As one era ends, another begins, but this new era will have to begin with a whole rebuild of the squad and a new tactical philosophy coached into them. It will take time, arguably longer than a single season, and will likely need ...
