2023/10/26

West Ham take on Olympiacos in Athens tonight knowing that a win will put us within touching distance of making it three European group stage wins in as many years. We had labelled Freiburg away as arguably our toughest fixture of the group stage this season but we made relatively light work of that one. Tonight, in Athens, will also be a test but we definitely have enough about us to take all three points back to east London with us. Will speaks to Kostas from the Gate 7 International Podcast, who

West Ham face Olympiakos in Athens on Thursday night in our third Europa League Group A fixture, where a win would put us firmly in control and within touching distance of winning a European group for the third consecutive season. But against the backdrop of what is sure to be a great game and a memorable experience for those going, is the ongoing threat of violence from Olympiakos' ultras. They made headlines at the weekend when clashes with rival fans of Panathinaikos caused their derby match to

243. A day trip to Birmingham, led by Michail Antonio

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/10/24

We don't get thrashed very often, not since David Moyes returned to the club almost four years ago. In fact, we've only lost by 3+ goals and conceded 4+ six times in 190 matches. That's pretty good going. Sunday's thrashing at the hands of Villa was fully deserved, too. They were better than us, hungrier than us and more clinical than us. No complaints from us, other than the fact there were several poor performances throughout the team, not least Michail Antonio who looked like he was just there

Now that the international break is over, James and Will are back ahead of Sunday's hugely anticipated trip to Villa Park. With both sides having ambitions of finishing in the top-seven this season, this is going to be a huge test and will give us some indication of what we might be able to achieve this term. Avoiding defeat away from home, especially at Villa Park, will be a good result, but all three will send a huge message to the other clubs who have the same ambitions as we do. Given the break,

2023/10/10

Fans were told VAR would make football better but instead, it appears to be doing its very best to make it worse with every passing game. It was our turn (again!) last weekend to suffer from inept and not-for-purpose officiating, that could've been cleaned up by the use of VAR, but they're still hellbent on only helping sub-standard referees in only very specific incidents in the game. That cost us against Newcastle, in what was a very good performance that warranted all three points, let alone a

After a strong performance in the 2-1 win over SC Freiburg on Thursday night, a much different and harder test awaits us at London Stadium on Sunday. Newcastle have become a force to be reckoned with since their takeover and have followed up their break into the top four last season with an unbelievable return to Champions League football this term, drawing 0-0 with AC Milan at San Siro before thrashing PSG 4-1 at St. James' Park earlier this week. We knew they would prove to be a difficult test for

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/10/02

As routine victories go, you don't get much more routine than the 2-0 win over Sheffield United on Saturday. It was one of the most comfortable three points we've had in some time, but there were still 'some' question marks around David Moyes' initial approach to the game, with his starting XI raising some eyebrows, especially James'. It came just a few days after a far less routine victory against Lincoln in the Carabao Cup, which was swiftly followed up by the inevitable fourth-round draw at home

After losing two on the bounce in the Premier League, many will be looking at a home game against newly-promoted Sheffield United as the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways and continue our bid for a third top-seven finish in four seasons. The Blades are fresh off the back of an 8-0 drubbing at home to Newcastle, which will add to the inevitable confident swagger amongst the fanbase heading into this one, but surely we must be careful of the wounded animal?

3-1 seems to be the trending scoreline these days, with our 4th and 5th 3-1 scorelines of the season coming in the past week. First, it was a win over Backa Topola in the Europa League before losing by the same scoreline at Anfield against Liverpool on Sunday. There's LOADS to unpack in this week's pod, with reaction to those two games before a sneak preview of this week's Claret & Blue View with David Schaal, more commonly known as Jay's Dad from The Inbetweeners.

There's absolutely no shame in losing to this Man City side, so there's absolutely no negativity in this podcast from us. If anything, there were so many positives to take from the defeat and if we had managed to hold out and take something from the game then no one would've been able to complain. It was a good performance but ultimately we were beaten by one of the best teams in world football, if not the best team on the planet right now. No shame in that!

It's a clash of the Champions of Europe, the unbeaten, title challengers and good friends. Saturday's visit of Man City represents many things, and it could see either West Ham go top of the league or Man City make it five wins from five at the start of the season. Joining us this week is big friend of the show, Ste Tudor, from the 93:20 Podcast, to give us everything we need to know about City ahead of Saturday's 3pm kick-off in Stratford.

Indeed, City are also unbeaten at this point, so this is kind of like an early season clash of two very serious title hopefuls. Kind of.

This is all a bit fun, isn't it? It's our best start to a Premier League season for over 20 years and when you consider three of our opening four games of the season have been away from home, it's even more impressive that we're unbeaten and sitting nicely in the top four of the Premier League going into the first international break. Whatsmore, we've finally learned our opponents for this season's Europa League and it's certainly an exciting one. In Group A, we face Olympiacos, SC Freiburg and

Despite the impressive start to the season, a trip to newly promoted Luton Town is by no means a formality for West Ham. It's Luton's first Premier League game at Kenilworth Road after having to play their opening two games of the season away from home due to improvements being made to the ground, meaning the atmosphere is likely to be bouncing under the lights on Friday night. We know all too well what an atmosphere like that can do to the occasion, don't we? Last season we were Nottingham Forest's

What a feeling, and what a result after a thoroughly impressive performance from the team at the AMEX.

No one saw that coming, did they? Our 3-1 victory over Chelsea came as a bit of a surprise, especially as it ensured both James and Will were left with egg on their faces after the full-time whistle. James has been very vocal about his lack of trust in Alphonse Areola to save penalties, but he duly delivered against the Blues. Similarly, Will has always struggled to warm to Michail Antonio and was not entirely convinced by the signing of James Ward-Prowse. A goal and two assists between them shut

A 1-1 draw to kick-off the new season wasn't entirely unexpected, but it was still hugely underwhelming just a few months after thrashing Bournemouth 4-0 on the same patch of grass and, of course, winning the Conference League. Some might see it as two points dropped, others will see it as a good point away from home. Either way, we've got a long way to go if we're to return to the standards that had is in the conversation for a top-four finish just a couple of seasons ago. Also on this week's pod,
