121: King Soucek destroys Palace
West Ham are FOURTH in the Premier League. That’s right, if the season finished now, David Moyes’ men would qualify for the Champions League. After going down to Wilfried Zaha’s early goal at Crystal Palace, the Hammers bounced back in emphatic fashion thanks to a brace from Tomas Soucek and a powerful header from Craig Dawson. Michy Batshuayi got a late consolation but the ref blew the whistle to send the boys back to East London with a 3-2 win. Will Pugh is joined by James Jones and Tom Edwards to revel in the Hammers’ fifth win on the bounce including Saturday’s 4-0 FA Cup thrashing of Doncaster. A trip to Old Trafford to face Man Utd in the fifth round awaits as the boys muse over the club’s chances of success this season. Football journalist Mark Flanagan joins the lads to look ahead to Liverpool’s visit to London Stadium on Sunday. The boys make their weekly Betway charity bet selections for the Reds game and update listeners on Isla Caton’s progress who started a round of chemotherapy this week. Will chatted to Nikki and Isla on Monday as the brave six-year-old started her latest round of chemotherapy and that interview can be heard at the end of the podcast. Tom is quizmaster for Name That Game. And the guys wrap up the show with a West Ham Women update after the girls reached the Conti Cup semi-final with a 3-0 win over Durham.
