I listen every week

Will and Jonesy are enjoyable personalities- reasonable views but never boring, good rapport with the right blend of humor in the mix. The show has a variety of segments and entertaining guests including the Opposition View (Olympiacos from Greece was a nice one) and interviews with supporters from different backgrounds. The show makes my experience following the Hammers more fun. - JD

We Want Steve… We Need Steve

Can’t say enough nice things about the podcast. Love the opposition views, love the new Claret and Hugh view with Will Pugh ™ , and love that the opinions on the show are always even-keeled … with one exception… I’d love if James’ mate Steve could come back on for a few shows to speak his mind. Maybe bring him in every month or so, get him all hot and bothered on a topic, and set him loose. Don’t much care what he’s on about—just want to hear him airing it out. If you can get Steve back on for a few episodes, I’ll go ahead and buy the show as many pints as it takes to get James Jones properly trousered (I.e. 3 pints). Much love, and keep up the good work.

Opposition Views are always on point

My favorite West Ham podcast by far. James and Will always bring on knowledgeable and objective opposition views weekly. I’ve been listening religiously from Baltimore USA for years. COYI Scotty Baltimore Hammers

Leftist Political Drivel

Of the first few episodes I’ve listened to of this podcast, three have been inundated with toxic, false, deceptive leftist political narratives that only serve to deceive and divide people. Keep your trash politics out of football you witless twats.

Biggest Cry Babies Ever

West Han are 6th and lost in extra time to Manchester United who are 2nd and the host just whines about everything about West Ham and Moues and Benrahma who has been a good signing for the club. This is nothing more than an example of the worst type of supporters who think because they have a podcast that doing nothing but being negative is good content. Terrible fans and just an example of twitter trolls with a voice now

Emotional Balance

These boys do an exceptional job describing the emotions of being a West Ham fan. Sometimes they stay level headed and calm me down; other times they fly off the handle and help me rage. COYI.
