189. Getting inked like Scamacca ahead of battle with fellow marquee attacker

West Ham's pre-season is done and now we can finally look ahead to Sunday's first game of the season against Premier League champions Manchester City. The squad is no where near ready, with at least four new faces required before we can truly say we've fully strengthened this summer, but at least we can finally look forward to welcoming meaningful football back into our lives. On this week's show, our first proper one of the 22/23 campaign, James and Will mostly look ahead to the City clash and are joined by friend of the show and 93:20 Podcast's very own Ste Tudor, who was equally as pessimistic as we are ahead of the weekend. Ste admits City are not yet up to full speed from a fitness point of view and will need to iron out potential issues with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, who are clearly yet to land on the same page judging by Sunday's Community Shield defeat to Liverpool. Also on this week's show, James reveals he's getting his first tattoos at the age of 34 and Will accuses him of going through an early mid-life crisis, while following last week's admission that he absolutely hates Tennis, Will reveals he's been playing Tennis with a mate. Confusing! As always, it's a great show with lots to discuss and we've also managed to keep our promise of a more streamlined show - hopefully we can stick to it as the season goes on!
