171: Zouma debacle with Kiddy, Watford & Leicester

It was just another week at 'same ol' West Ham', wasn't it? It started with Declan Rice having to come off the bench to save us from the biggest upset in FA Cup history against sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers. And it ended with an underwhelming 1-0 victory over Watford at home. In between, we had the not-so-small matter of Kurt Zouma drop-kicking and slapping his cat. The decision to play Zouma against Watford 24 hours after said cat video emerged on social media led to widespread outrage from the general public, which was understandable. David Moyes fluffed his lines when pressed on the matter after the game by describing it as a footballing decision, while some club sponsors moved to disassociate themselves with the club. All in all, it was a complete and utter car crash and unfortunately, we probably haven't heard the last of it just yet. Back on the football pitch, West Ham are back in the top-four after Tuesday's win and have a chance to keep that Champions League qualification flame flicking for a little bit longer with a win against Leicester City on Sunday. Trouble is, so many teams have games in hand on us that finishing in the top four is currently out of our hands. All we can do is keep winning, and what better place to continue that than Leicester, who have been shipping goals for fun and seem like a club in disarray after Brendan Rodgers publicly questioned his players' commitment last weekend. Friend of the show and big Leicester fan, TalkSPORT's Jake Watson, joined us this week to preview this game at the King Power. Also on this week's show, Will Pugh and Jame James Jones give their thoughts on the Zouma story, discuss the Hammers' near miss in the FA Cup, make their Betway charity bet selections, hail West Ham Women for yet another WSL victory and much more!
