235. "Are you watching, Declan Rice!?"

WE'VE FINALLY BEATEN BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE! At the 13th time of asking, we've managed to finally take three points from Brighton in the top-flight. What a feeling, and what a result after a thoroughly impressive performance from the team at the AMEX. Three really well taken goals ensured we took all three points back to Stratford and went top of the Premier League! After all the negativity before the season began AND after the opening weekend draw at Bournemouth, it's crazy what a couple of big results can do for confidence amongst the fanbase. We've gone from dreading the season ahead to anticipating a really exciting season once again. Only at West Ham, eh!? On this week's show... We discuss the win at Brighton in detail, including Areola's performance, JWP's impact and the fact we don't seem to be missing Declan Rice talkSPORT's Mark Webster dials in for a chat about his beloved Hammers We talk through our Betway Charity Bets for the Brighton game before revealing our selections for the trip to Luton on Friday LOADS MORE! But don't worry! We haven't scrapped the popular Opposition View segment, we're just going to trial releasing that as a separate episode for the foreseeable future.
