169: VARcical scenes at Man Utd - ft. West Ham correspondent Tom Clark

Once again, West Ham did a West Ham by losing a game that had 0-0 written all over it. Except, against Man Utd, it was because of a controversial VAR call in the 93rd minute and a severe lapse in concentration. The 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford hurt more than it has done in the past. The Hammers are no strangers to losing there, but to do so in such fashion and at the expense of our position in the Premier League's top four was a tough one to take. But despite that, David Moyes' men look forward to a potentially fruitful FA Cup run, the latter stages of the Europa League and another potential top-six finish. So it's not all bad. Yet. As we enter the final week of the January transfer window, David Moyes, Rob Newman and the club are yet to add to West Ham's unacceptably thin squad. And if they don't then all of the above might be a stretch too far for what is fast becoming a very tired group of players. This time next week fans will know more about what we should expect. On this week's show, James Jones and Will Pugh give their thoughts on the controversy at Old Trafford, the performance and what they hope for after the international break. Football.London's West Ham Correspondent Tom Clark dials in to chat about the defeat last weekend, West Ham's thriving bunch of academy prospects, Moyes' January transfer intentions and much more. The lads also talk through their Betway Charity Bets, which were all way off the mark this time around. And finally, we discuss West Ham Women's 4-2 Conti Cup defeat to Chelsea and the superb 3-0 win over Everton in the WSL as Oli Harder continues to turn the team's fortunes around after last season's battle to survive relegation. There’s then time for some final thoughts before the boys say goodbye for another week. Thanks for listening. You can follow the podcast here: Twitter: @We Are_West Ham.
