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?

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.

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.

A much-needed 4-1 win over Ipswich has calmed fears going into the international break. 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.

All of this means James is joined by a 'slightly' more positive Will to discuss the match, Michail Antonio's display, the atmosphere inside the London Stadium and much more.. including having a laugh at Kalvin Phillips.

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 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. Plus, there is a guest appearance from ex-Premier League ref Mark Halsey after that controversial decision not to hand West Ham a penalty.

And if that was not enough, we preview the Liverpool game with writer Henry Jackson.
