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...
