2024/03/06

West Ham United are back in the Europa League knockout stages once again! Freiburg is hardly a glamour tie, but after the initial disappointment of not drawing AC Milan subsided, there is a renewed belief among Hammers fans that we can go deep once again and hopefully repeat some of the historic scenes we witnessed the last time we were in the knockout stages of this competition. In this episode, Will speaks to Freiburg fan Michael from the Fuchsletalk podcast ahead of Thursday’s away first leg in

258. A heartfelt apology to Alphonse Areola

2024/03/05

It's funny what a couple of wins can do for morale. Back-to-back Premier League victories has led us to 7th in the Premier League and in a strong position for a fourth consecutive season playing in Europe. This time, a lot of the thanks has to go to Alphonse Areola, whose saved penalty and string of saves at Goodison Park led us towards a brilliant 3-1 victory in David Moyes' old stomping ground. Speaking of Areola's penalty save; it sparked a heartfelt apology from James this week, who was

257. The David Moyes Hokey-Cokey

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2024/02/28

That's more like it, isn't it!?After weeks of talk surrounding David Moyes' negative style of play, which had stopped getting results, West Ham turned up at London Stadium on Monday night and put on a bit of a show. It wasn't perfect, not by any stretch, but we scored four goals and overall looked like we wanted to have a go at playing football for the first time in 2024. Every time we got the ball we looked like we wanted to make something happen, while out of possession we pressed well and put

West Ham host Brentford on Monday night in desperate need of a victory having failed to register a single win in any competition since the turn of the year. Joining us this week to preview the game is friend of the show, talkSPORT presenter and huge Brentford fan, Natalie Sawyer to help us preview Monday's fixture.

256. This fairytale won't have a happy ending

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2024/02/20

It has been a fairytale but, unlike the ones we see in the movies, this one won't have a happy ending. David Moyes' time as West Ham manager is surely coming to its conclusion. The latest defeat to Nottingham Forest has put even more pressure on him as his players continue to seek a first win of 2024. But we must not forget that while it's likely to end very soon, the era Moyes has overseen has been the most successful and, without a doubt, the most unexpected periods in a generation. He return with

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2024/02/13

We know we made a pact to not discuss David Moyes' future on the podcast again, but how can we not? Since we last recorded, we've been battered 6-0 by Arsenal, sold two wingers without replacing them and have failed to register a single win in our first seven matches of 2024. Surely the club needs to make a decision one way or another now? Stalling on a new contract only increases the uncertainty surrounding Moyes' future, and might perhaps be contributing to the current severe downturn in form. On

254. Sucking all the fun out of football

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2024/01/23

VAR is getting a little bit silly now, isn't it? Not having it against Bristol City arguably worked against us and then having it against Sheffield United meant we were all but robbed of three points at Bramall Lane. Put simply, it's sucking all the fun out of the game we love so much. The big question on everyone's lips is, how can enlisting the help of technology make referees worse at officiating football matches? None of it makes any sense! That's the main topic on our agenda this week as we

2024/01/19

After losing to Bristol City in the FA Cup earlier in the week, West Ham will need to be so much better on Sunday when they visit Sheffield United in the Premier League. The Blades are rock bottom of the Premier League with the worst defence and the fewest points, so many will have this game down as a formality, but given our injury issues and the performance from our fringe players against Bristol City, we shouldn't be so confident. Hal from the Sheffield United Way Podcast joins us for the second

2024/01/09

The FA Cup third round draw against Bristol City wasn't ideal, as it requires a replay to be played at a time when most clubs will be enjoying a mini-winter break, but we've decided to stop all complaining on this podcast for the foreseeable. Or at least James has! James returns for the first time in 2024 by admitting that he's no longer questioning David Moyes' long-term credentials as manager of West Ham and is instead vowing to enjoy the second half of the season for what it's shaping up to be,

2024/01/05

Well, well, well! Since our last podcast, West Ham have beaten Man United and Arsenal and draw at home to Brighton, topping the Premier League's festive form table in the process. It's a run of form that sees us sit 6th in the table going into 2024 and has many who were calling for David Moyes to be sacked wondering whether they'd pinned their flags to the correct mast. This week, Will goes solo due to James being tied up elsewhere, as he goes full blown Moyes love-in following recent results, with

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/12/21

Having put in two very good performances against Freiburg and Wolves, West Ham approached the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Liverpool at Anfield with some confidence. But all that confidence was removed instantly when the starting XI was announced, with David Moyes making a number of changes to his starting XI. Clearly he has one eye on Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester United. The performance that followed complimented the line-up. Poor, weak and no up to standard. It was no

2023/12/15

After comfortably dispatching Freiburg to top our Europa League group on Thursday night, David Moyes' men return to Stratford on Sunday to take on Gary O'Neil's Wolves. Wolves have been inconsistent with their results so far this term, beating the likes of Tottenham and Man City but losing to Sheffield United and Crystal Palace, and have only won two games on the road this campaign. West Ham will want to get back to winning ways domestically after being thrashed 5-0 by Fulham last weekend, and a win

2023/12/12

If ever there was a three-day period that defined the term 'Typical West Ham', that was it. The win at Spurs was as unexpected as it was wonderful, only for us to completely ruin any confidence or optimism that result provided by going to Fulham and getting thrashed 5-0. Only West Ham, right? There are reports of a sickness bug making its way through the squad, which is being attributed to such a poor performance at Craven Cottage, but does it still warrant such an embarrassing result?

It's a third London Derby in a week for West Ham and there's a lot more confidence ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage after that fantastic 2-1 victory over Spurs on Thursday night. Fulham are also in good spirits after they thrashed Nottingham Forest 5-0 at home earlier this week.

249. The Big David Moyes Debate

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/12/05

West Ham are unbeaten in five games in all competitions, but three of those games relied on last-minute Tomas Soucek winners and the draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday was a hugely winnable game given the Eagles' lack of intensity going forward. So despite going unbeaten, fans are beginning to get more and more restless with David Moyes' approach. That led to James and Will having a very long and intense debate about his future at the club. James understands why fans are getting frustrated and are

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/11/28

We all knew David Moyes would start Danny Ings against Burnley despite knowing it should be Divin Mubama who got the nod instead. For the first 85 minutes of the game it was so obvious that the decision was very wrong, and it was underlined, bolded and italicised when Mubama threw himself at a near-post Kudus cross and forced Dara O'Shea to divert the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-1. Soucek's second constructive late winner ensure we came away with all three points. But surely now,

2023/11/23

The international break is finally over and now we can look ahead to Saturday's visit to Turf Moor as West Ham take on newly promoted Burnley in the Premier League. The Clarets have the second-worst defence in the Premier League this season, conceding 30 goals, so there is hope that David Moyes and his players will go to Turf Moor looking to take full advantage of that, especially if Jarrod Bowen is passed fit to play after picking up a knock while on international duty with England. After beating

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/11/21

It is absolutely no surprise that we risk going into the busy festive period without a 'proper' striker. Michail Antonio's injury while on international duty with Jamaica means he could be out for months, leaving just Danny Ings and Divin Mubama as our only recognised strikers in the squad. One barely looks interested when he does get on the pitch, the other is only a teenager and has just 35 minutes of Premier League football to his name. Jarrod Bowen has been utilised there recently but that's not
