Customer Reviews
Fantastic West Ham United Podcast!!
A great podcast for any West Ham supporter, it is extremely funny and insightful! I look forward to it every week of the season!
Amazing, laugh out loud, informative podcast for West Ham fans.
This is my favorite footy related podcast (mainly because it's hysterical and informative) because it's one of the few places that pay proper attention to the club I follow. That said, is there a place where we can donate to make this show happen on a regular schedule?
Very funny
As an ex-pat Arsenal fan I look forward to this pod more than any other. Very funny, and has everything football should have. Wit, angst, anger and despite all the evidence from their team hope.
