148: Dinamo Zagreb, we're coming for you!

West Ham United play their first ever Europa League group stage game away at Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday. And the Hammers cap off a historic week by welcoming a Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to the London Stadium on Sunday. It all comes after a dull 0-0 draw at Southampton in the Premier League where Michail Antonio’s stupid sending off means he will miss the Red Devils’ visit. But the point means David Moyes’ men are unbeaten in their first four Premier League games and are sitting reasonably pretty in seventh. Will Pugh is back from Portugal and is joined by Reece Bayliss for this week’s show with James Jones taking a holiday of his own. The lads react to the Saints draw and ask if Craig Dawson’s time is up with Kurt Zouma surprisingly left on the bench. There are TWO opposition views as Lovre Nikolac from the Croatian Football Podcast dials in from Dalmatia to let West Ham fans know what to expect from Zagreb. And sports journalist Matt Beadle gives the Man Utd perspective with the Reds looking strong domestically after Ronaldo’s arrival. The boys of course make their Betway charity bet selections. And discuss West Ham Women who've had a disappointing start to the season – losing 2-0 at Brighton on the opening day before late heartbreak in week two saw Aston Villa equalise at the death in a 1-1 draw. All in all, it’s a fantastic show at the start of a historic week for the Hammers. Hello to all our new listeners, we’ve had a couple of record breaking weeks on the listener front so welcome.
