151: Therapise session after Bees' sting & Vienna win

It was a weird week for West Ham. After comfortably brushing aside Rapid Vienna in the club's first-ever home Europa League group stage match, David Moyes' side conceded a a 94th-minute goal to newly-promoted Brentford at London Stadium in the Premier League. But despite the negative thoughts that inevitably follow a defeat - especially in those circumstances - we must not lose sight of the fact West Ham are still having a really good season. It was only the Hammers' second defeat in all competitions since the 1-0 home loss to Everton back in May, so there's absolutely no reason to start panicking just yet. West Ham have taken to European football like a duck to water with a 100 per cent record in Group H without conceding a goal. And that's the general consensus on this week's episode as James Jones and Will Pugh - in Reece's absence - discuss the win over Vienna and defeat to Brentford in detail. The lads touch on the Vienna fans and the 'trouble' on Thursday night, Peter Bankes' performance in the middle against Brentford, Tomas Soucek's worrying form, Jarrod Bowen's epic fitness levels and much, much more! Despite it being an international break, there's still so much to discuss on this week's show. The lads also chat about PAI Capital's decision to step back from their attempts to buy the club, Sunday's protests and the lovely new statue of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters outside the stadium. Last week's Betway charity bet selections are reviewed. And lastly, the lads are joined by The Daily Mail's Kathryn Batte, who gave her thoughts on West Ham Women's outstanding 2-0 away victory over Manchester City in the WSL.
