The Julen Lopetegui can has been well and truly kicked down the road. Will, James and special guest Tom discuss a much-needed but not impressive win over Wolves (somehow they are worse than us and that is the only reason why we won). The boys break down Lopetegui's bizarre tactics, strange subs and inability to see the obvious areas where it is all going wrong. Does he dodge the sack for the entire season? There is also chat about Mohammed Kudus's form, Jarrod Bowen's brilliance and Michail Antonio's car crash.

The ultimate 'El Sackico' is here. Somehow both Julen Lopetegui and Gary O'Neil are still in work but the loser on Monday night is almost certainly out the door. Both teams come into this having suffered shockingly bad results in midweek. The Hammers' 3-0 loss to Leicester incredibly did not win the worst result of the week as Wolves were smashed 4-0 by a bang average Everton side. We discuss where both clubs should go next given the inevitable sackings in store and why it has gone so wrong this season.

Disastrous, depressing and dismal. All that hope from the Newcastle game evaporated in 45 minutes at the hands of Arsenal. Will and James are back to chat about where it all went wrong against the Gunners and we also look forward to an absolutely huge game against Leicester, with an opposition view bedded in with Jake Watson from The Big Strong Leicester Boys Podcast Despite the awfulness of West Ham's performance, there are reasons to be happy as Will has made a pledge that will be music to many listeners' ears (you've heard of Dry January, it is time for Dry Moyes'. Also, James goes on a rant about Arsenal's "dark arts" in one not to miss. And after things kicked-off in the stands (not just every few minutes on the pitch in the first-half), we discuss how to stop letting away fans in our home end.

There is little time to bask in the glory of that exceptional Newcastle win as Arsenal are in town! Will is joined by CJ Needham (aka the Deluded Gooner) to preview Saturday night's London derby. It is a must-win game for Arsenal as they trail leaders Liverpool by nine points and a loss to the Hammers will give them a mountain to climb. Can West Ham ruin their title hopes for the third season running? The lads also discuss the return of Declan Rice and the way he is being used tactically by Mikel Arteta. Plus, CJ tells us exactly how his side will score beyond Lukasz Fabianski. Remember, if you love what we do, please leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on.

Wow! Did anyone see that coming? West Ham out played Newcastle in a well-deserved win to ease the pressure on Julen Lopetegui. It all means there's a positive feel around an episode for the first time in a while and a break from the reminiscing of the David Moyes era from Will. We break down where it all went right against Newcastle and how it could prove the turning point of the season as Lopetegui may have finally cracked the midfield conundrum. Plus, we finish on the recent heat James' David Sullivan comments got on social media. Remember, if you love what we do, please leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on.

The international break is over and West Ham are back! Unfortunately, the return comes with little enthusiasm given how the season has gone so far - but perhaps Julen Lopetegui has finally cracked it during the break? West Ham face a tough trip to Newcastle on Monday night and we look ahead to the game with Newcastle reporter Aaron Stokes. We discuss what has been a mixed season for the Geordies so far, surprise pressure mounting on Eddie Howe and how they could cause the Hammers problems.

The case to stick by the under-fire Julen Lopetegui was not helped by a snoozefest goalless draw at home to Everton. Things were so dull and uninspiring that Will and James use this episode to chat about West Ham's disastrous last six months and the current feeling of despair around the club. We're seemingly all in agreement that the writing is on the wall for Lopetegui, but should fingers also be getting pointed at David Sullivan and Tim Steidten? Will a West Ham-less Moyes ever work? Would you welcome Moyes back? Where does the club go from here? Remember, if you love what we do, please leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on.

An utterly dismal 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest leaves Julen Lopetegui moving ever close to losing his job. Will is back from his spell on the sidelines and he is joined, as always, by James to break down a yet another disastrous performance.  In this episode we cover the defensive shambles, Alvarez's brainless red card, the manager's poor line-ups and admit Lopetegui may have just one more game to save his job.  Remember, if you love what we do, please leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on.

Fresh from Jarrod Bowen's hammer blow that burst Erik ten Hag's bubble, we preview this Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest. James is joined by Alex to discuss that controversial penalty decision against Man Utd before moving on to chat about what to expect at the City Ground - a stadium where West Ham have struggled in recent years. Should Lukasz Fabianski continue ahead of Alphonse Areola? Is it time to for Lucas Paqueta to be dropped? And what does our best midfield look like?

Derby disaster! An embarrassing second-half display saw West Ham demolished 4-1 by Tottenham. Will and James cover all the big talking points as pressure mounts on Julen Lopetegui. The lack of distinctive style of play and clear game plan is a huge worry. But is it still too early to judge, especially given the horrible fixture list at the start of the season? We also reflect on the Mohammed Kudus head loss red card, performances from the likes of Alphonse Areola and Guido Rodriguez, as well as what managers are out there to replace Lopetegui should it get worse!

The international break is FINALLY over! And what a game to return with as West Ham travel across London to Tottenham. Will is joined by Spurs podcaster Ricky Sacks to preview the game. The lads discuss whether Ange Postecoglou is on the right path to ending Tottenham's 16-year wait for a major trophy and how big a victory would be for Julen Lopetegui with the jury still out on him.

There was free-flowing attacking football, signs of a style of play, new signings impressing and our best players putting in top draw performances once again.

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.

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 half-time subs in taking Mohammed Kudus off, the toxicity of West Ham chat on social media and where they think the season is heading.

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.

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.

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.  Remember, if you love what we do then PLEASE leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on.

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 scoresheet (even rescuing a ball boy for bonus brownie points). Is about time our criminally underrated Czech Mate gets the credit he deserves? And how long does Konstantinos Mavropanos and Michail Antonio remain in the starting XI amid new boys Jean-Clair Todibo and Niclas Fullkrug pushing for starts?
