Unearth the hidden gems of the beer world and claim your free case here: www.beer52.com/UNITED

Jack and Darcy break down West Ham 3-0 Derby as well as the Hammers' summer transfer window in detail.

They talk all of West Ham's incomings and outgoings, breaking down each transfer and ultimately asking whether we're happy with where West Ham's squad stands going into a promotion-chasing season.

Jack and Darcy break down West Ham 3-0 Derby as well as the Hammers' summer transfer window in detail. They discuss the growth we're now starting to see in Nuno's side, the structural change that's helping West Ham and more from the London stadium before moving onto assessing the now complete summer transfer window. They talk all of West Ham's incomings and outgoings, breaking down each transfer and ultimately asking whether we're happy with where West Ham's squad stands going into a promotion-chasing season.
