November 06, 2021 157: West Ham Women: Can Vivianne Miedema be stopped? - Nancy Gillen, GiveMeSport Women
West Ham Women have enjoyed a strong to the season having gone unbeaten in all competitions since their opening weekend defeat to Brighton.

Such form sees them placed 6th in the WSL right now, but they travel to a rampant Arsenal Women side who have a 100% record in the league so far this term and have scored 19 goals in the process.

The Gunners have world class players all over the pitch but the one that stands out is Vivianne Miedema, who already has nine goals in nine appearances in 2021/2022 and whose record for the Gunners is 103 goals in 110 appearances in all competitions. The Netherlands international is a goal machine and Oli Harder will have a job on his hands trying to stop her from adding to such an impressive tally on Sunday evening.

We spoke to GiveMeSport Women's Nancy Gillen to try and find out how Miedema can be stopped, while she also gives us her thoughts on her beloved Arsenal and what she thinks of West Ham's recent improvement under Harder.

November 05, 2021 156: Opposition View: Liverpool - Ste Hoare, The Redmen TV
As promised, we're bringing you this week's Opposition View as a separate episode this week due to both Will and Reece being away, leaving James to find a way of delivering you all the bits of the podcast you enjoy!

Joining James this week is The Redmen TV's very own Ste Hoare, who gives us the lowdown on what West Ham fans can expect from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

It's a huge top-four Premier League clash between two teams who are both flying in Europe, in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and are enjoying strong league season so far.

It promises to be a very interesting battle in multiple areas of the pitch and the lads discuss where they think the game could be won or lost, what shape Liverpool are in fitness-wise ahead of the game and what Ste thinks the outcome will be at London Stadium.

Have a listen and don't forget to give us a five-star rating and a positive (or negative) review!

November 02, 2021 155: Absolutely flippin' Marvelous
It just keeps getting better and better and better, doesn't it?

After a quality week that saw us beat Everton, Genk and Spurs, David Moyes' side have continued such massive form by knocking Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup and thumping Aston Villa at Villa Park.

This week, though, we're bringing you something a bit different on the We Are West Ham Podcast. With Will and Reece both off, James has been left to man the fort and find a way of still bringing you the podcast you know and love.

So this is just a 30-minute 'explainer' podcast, in which James gives his views on the Man City and Villa wins, the current takeover talk and explains what's going to happen to the likes of the Opposition View, Betway and West Ham Women sections.

Don't worry, you're still going to get all the content you'd normally get, it's just a bit more spread out this week!

Have a listen, keep an eye out on all our channels this week and, always, tell your mates about us!

October 26, 2021 154: Wet Spam 1 - 0 Spuds. Up the Spammers!
Weeks at West Ham don't get much better than that, do they?!

After winning at Goodison Park, David Moyes' men followed up with a comfortable 3-0 win over KRC Genk in the Europa League before beating Spurs 1-0 at London Stadium to climb back into the top four.

We're running out of words to describe how good our football team has become under the Moyesiah. Three wins in a week, zero goals conceded, six points clear at the top of our Europa League group and sitting pretty in the top four of the Premier League. What a time to be a West Ham fan.

So on this week's show, James Jones and Will Pugh react to the wins over Genk and Spurs, clash over the future of Declan Rice and wholeheartedly agree with each other that West Ham United are absolutely massive.

Also this week, we chat to Man City and Aston Villa fans for yet another double-up of the increasingly popular opposition view segment and the lads pick their Betway Charity Bets for Sunday's trip to Villa Park.

This is a packed episode and really isn't worth missing!

October 18, 2021 153: Well I n-Everton, GENK & Spurs are coming to town
What a way to return to 'proper' football!

After a two week international break, West Ham got their upcoming hectic fixture schedule off to the perfect start with a 1-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

Angelo Ogbonna was the match-winner with around 15 minutes to go as all our possession and huffing and puffing paid off in the end, and it took us straight back into the Premier League's top-six, which is fast becoming home for West Ham. Still a bit weird, isn't it?

Now we face a busy run of fixtures, which includes hosting Genk in the Europa League on Thursday, a huge London derby against Spurs on Sunday afternoon and then Man City in the Carabao Cup the following Wednesday.

So on this week's show, James and Will react to that Everton win directly after the final whistle, while they also look ahead to Sunday's huge clash against Spurs.

With two games before our next episode, it means we've got two Opposition View sections.

Firstly, James catches up with Tim Oliver from the TerrilTalks Podcast, who revealed everything we need to know about Europa League opponents and also discussed the similarities between our two clubs.

And then Will has a chat with talkSPORT's Paul Coyte, who gives us the lowdown on how Spurs are adapting to life under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Also this week, the lads discuss West Ham Women's 1-0 WSL Cup victory over London City and they give their Betway Charity Bet selections for the Spurs game.

This is a packed episode and really isn't worth missing!

October 12, 2021 152: Yarmo the troll strikes again & Everton here we come!
West Ham are almost through yet another international break, but thankfully James Jones and Will Pugh are at your service once again to make things a bit more interesting.

With no fewer than eight players out on international duty, it's great to finally see West Ham's superstars getting recognition on the international stage, albeit with the added anxiety of them all returning injured and prepared to get back to the more important job of keeping up our strong start to the season.

That's more important than ever before as we embark on a crazy fixture schedule that sees David Moyes' men play five games across 19 days in three different competitions.

So on this week's show, James and Will discuss the players out on international duty, compare outfits ahead of the Football Content Awards on Thursday night (we're nominated for a gong!) and give their views on the controversial takeover of Newcastle, which sees them become the richest club in world football under questionable new ownership.

Also this week, the lads react to West Ham Women's 1-1 draw with Birmingham City last weekend and preview this Sunday's huge Premier League clash at Everton.

And the lads also make their Betway Charity Bet selections for the Everton game.

There may not have been much football to talk about this week, but this episode is still packed with loads to discuss!

October 05, 2021 151: Therapise session after Bees' sting & Vienna win
It was a weird week for West Ham.

After comfortably brushing aside Rapid Vienna in the club's first-ever home Europa League group stage match, David Moyes' side conceded a a 94th-minute goal to newly-promoted Brentford at London Stadium in the Premier League.

But despite the negative thoughts that inevitably follow a defeat - especially in those circumstances - we must not lose sight of the fact West Ham are still having a really good season.

It was only the Hammers' second defeat in all competitions since the 1-0 home loss to Everton back in May, so there's absolutely no reason to start panicking just yet.

West Ham have taken to European football like a duck to water with a 100 per cent record in Group H without conceding a goal.

And that's the general consensus on this week's episode as James Jones and Will Pugh - in Reece's absence - discuss the win over Vienna and defeat to Brentford in detail.

The lads touch on the Vienna fans and the 'trouble' on Thursday night, Peter Bankes' performance in the middle against Brentford, Tomas Soucek's worrying form, Jarrod Bowen's epic fitness levels and much, much more!

Despite it being an international break, there's still so much to discuss on this week's show. The lads also chat about PAI Capital's decision to step back from their attempts to buy the club, Sunday's protests and the lovely new statue of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters outside the stadium.

Last week's Betway charity bet selections are reviewed.

And lastly, the lads are joined by The Daily Mail's Kathryn Batte, who gave her thoughts on West Ham Women's outstanding 2-0 away victory over Manchester City in the WSL.

It's an epic show and plenty to get through so whack the kettle on and enjoy!

September 28, 2021 150: Winning away & the Europa returns!
West Ham won two fantastic back-to-back away games since the last podcast.

A first win at Old Trafford in 14 years followed by a dramatic late winner at Leeds thanks to Michail Antonio.

The Carabao Cup win at Man Utd was somewhat dampened by immediately drawing Man City in the next round but the 1-0 win thanks to Manuel Lanzini's early goal was a stunning achievement nonetheless.

That was followed by an important 2-1 win at Leeds which the travelling fans loved.

But West Ham have no time to rest on their laurels as it's another double header before the next pod.

Rapid Vienna roll into town on Thursday for West Ham's first ever home Europa League group stage game.

Tom from the 'Other Bundesliga podcast' dials in to give a view on the opposition for that one.

Before Billy Grant from the Beesotted pod joins to look ahead to Brentford's first ever visit to the London Stadium on Sunday.

Will Pugh is joined by Reece Bayliss and James Jones to discuss all of that and make their Betway charity bets selections after ANOTHER winner in the Leeds game.

Our loyal listeners can also win TWO free tickets to the Europa League game at London Stadium on Thursday. Visit @WeAre_WestHam on Twitter to find out how.

September 20, 2021 149: He's not the Moyesiah... he's a very naughty boy
In one of the most dramatic and heartbreaking ends to a football match in living memory, David Moyes' decision to sub on Mark Noble to take a last minute penalty against Man Utd backfired in dramatic fashion on Sunday.

The Hammers legend hadn't warmed up and was thrust into the action at London Stadium to try and make it 2-2 after ex-West Ham man Jesse Lingard had oh-so predictably broke Hammers hearts - coming off the bench to complete the Red Devils' comeback after Said Benrahma and Cristiano Ronaldo had scored in the first-half.

Will Pugh, James Jones and Reece Bayliss discuss the rollercoaster ride and also cover the Irons' historic win at Dinamo Zagreb in their first ever Europa League group game on Thursday.

The lads also make their Betway charity bets with some money landing after the Man Utd defeat.

Moyes' men have the opportunity for immediate revenge as they travel to Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

SunSport's Kieran Benn dials in to look ahead to the Hammers' visit to Leeds on Saturday before some final thoughts from the boys who then say goodbye for another week.

September 14, 2021 148: Dinamo Zagreb, we're coming for you!
West Ham United play their first ever Europa League group stage game away at Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday.

And the Hammers cap off a historic week by welcoming a Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to the London Stadium on Sunday.

It all comes after a dull 0-0 draw at Southampton in the Premier League where Michail Antonio’s stupid sending off means he will miss the Red Devils’ visit.

But the point means David Moyes’ men are unbeaten in their first four Premier League games and are sitting reasonably pretty in seventh.

Will Pugh is back from Portugal and is joined by Reece Bayliss for this week’s show with James Jones taking a holiday of his own.

The lads react to the Saints draw and ask if Craig Dawson’s time is up with Kurt Zouma surprisingly left on the bench.

There are TWO opposition views as Lovre Nikolac from the Croatian Football Podcast dials in from Dalmatia to let West Ham fans know what to expect from Zagreb.

And sports journalist Matt Beadle gives the Man Utd perspective with the Reds looking strong domestically after Ronaldo’s arrival.

The boys of course make their Betway charity bet selections.

And discuss West Ham Women who've had a disappointing start to the season – losing 2-0 at Brighton on the opening day before late heartbreak in week two saw Aston Villa equalise at the death in a 1-1 draw.

All in all, it’s a fantastic show at the start of a historic week for the Hammers.
