It was a hard-earned point for West Ham on the road against Bournemouth.

Will and James break down the game and if Julen Lopetegui is finally beginning to find a system that works (sort of).

The Premier League table remains tight with us not far off Europe or the bottom three! What way are we heading?

It is our last pod of the year as we take a Christmas break, so we reflect on 2024 and our hopes for 2025.

West Ham travel to high-flying Bournemouth on Monday night. Two sides where the mood around the clubs could not be more different.

We preview the game with Cherries podcaster Craig from Up The Cherries In All Departments.

Craig offers some great insight on Bournemouth's stunning rise up the football pyramid, their brilliant manager Andoni Iraola, and how the talented attacking duo of Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson will hurt the Hammers.

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.

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.

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?
