We don't get thrashed very often, not since David Moyes returned to the club almost four years ago. In fact, we've only lost by 3+ goals and conceded 4+ six times in 190 matches. That's pretty good going.

Sunday's thrashing at the hands of Villa was fully deserved, too. They were better than us, hungrier than us and more clinical than us. No complaints from us, other than the fact there were several poor performances throughout the team, not least Michail Antonio who looked like he was just there for a day out in Birmingham.

Every team has a bad day at the office every once in a while, but good teams are defined by how they recover from them. We've got a big week with a trip to Olympiakos in the Europa League on Thursday night before the visit of Everton in the Premier League on Sunday. If we win both of those, we can write Villa off as a blip. If we don't, will there be cause for concern?

Also on this week's show, the Claret & Blue View returns and it's The Sun's Sport Head of Content and massive West Ham fan, Mike Anstead, joining us this week to talk about his love for the club and his thoughts on the season so far.

We also discuss our Betway charity bets, as we STILL wait for our first win of the season, before wrapping up for another week. Our two Opposition Views with Olympiakos and Everton fans will be out separately later this week.

Remember, if you love what we do then PLEASE leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on. It helps us more than you know and allows us to be found by new listeners, helping us grow even more!
