West Ham United's Fan Advisory Board recently published a letter of no confidence in the club's board. Fan group Hammers United have also urged supporters to boycott next month's home game against Brentford in protest at David Sullivan and the board's wider running of the club. Sports journalist George Simms recently wrote a very well received article in The Observer blaming Sullivan for the apathy and anger felt by many West Ham fans over the club's miserable plight. And in this podcast We Are West Ham host Will Pugh speaks to Simms and digs deeper on the driving force...

Wow! Nottingham Forest 0-3 West Ham. Jarrod Bowen on the scoresheet, Lucas Paqueta's iconic staying celebration, clinical Callum Wilson and Crysencio Summerville making an instant impact after his devastating injury.

So many reasons for James Jones and Will Pugh to be positive heading into the international break (even though Will remains unconvinced this is the turning point for Graham Potter).

This week, we discuss that shock away win and the transfer window coming to a close.

Oh no, we've got to play another game... when will it stop?!

A painfully predictable late collapse at Wolves saw West Ham crash out the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle after actually looking like a proper football team for the first time this season.

Sadly that only lasted 80 minutes against Wolves' reserves and this weekend, the Hammers have to go to a full strength Nottingham Forest team who are fifth and in Europe. Oh dear.

In this podcast, Adam from the 1865 podcast dials...

West Ham 1 - 5 Chelsea. Jesus!

An absolutely abject showing at London Stadium on Friday night has left all of us wondering where we go from here.

Will Pugh & James Jones return - albeit against James' will - to break down exactly what went wrong, but more importantly where it leaves the club as the blame game among fans has well and truly begun.

The main fury appears to be targeted at David Sullivan once again and after Will got a big reaction on Twitter for his post after Friday's game, the boys really...

As we try to move on from the Sunderland embarrassment, we turn our attention to our first home game of the season against London rivals Chelsea.

Quite possibly the least cared about West Ham vs Spurs game in some time... our season is all but over and Ange Postecoglou is on the verge of somehow guiding them to the Europa League final.

But sharing his thoughts on Tottenham's mixed performances, whether Postecoglou will remain in the job and reviewing their unusual good yet bad season is Dean Scoggins, who is a tactical expert and Deputy Head of Sport at The Sun.

Will is back and is joined by James as usual to discuss Tomas Soucek's "optical illusion" and where we are heading under the new manager.

Despite not the best results, there was a feeling we were heading in the right direction under Graham Potter and there was optimism heading into the Brentford game.

But in typical West Ham fashion, that bubble was burst by a dire first-half performance and a 1-0 loss.

No strikers, one centre-back and four full-backs, but a threadbare West Ham squad battled back from a goal down to draw away at Aston Villa, even coming close to nicking all three points.

There are plenty of reasons for us to be positive this week and we are full of praise for new boss Graham Potter.

We also touch on the rumours linking us with Jhon Duran, how we tactically undone Villa, and there is even a talk about hamsters!

It is welcome to the London Stadium for Graham Potter on Tuesday night as West Ham take on high-flying Fulham.

The new manager's reign kicked-off with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup and there were enough positives on show for their to be a real intrigue in how we will get on against a Fulham side that has caught the eye this season.

To get all the insights on the Cottagers, we talk to The Sun's Simon Rice and Dom Betts from the Fulhamish Podcast...

Graham Potter’s West Ham reign begun with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup, but there were positives to take. 

Will and James react to the unusual end for Julen Lopetegui, which saw him take training despite him knowing he was going to be sacked. Awful conduct or the harsh reality of football

We also discuss the appointment of Potter and the performance in his first match in charge.

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.

Remember...

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...

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...
