The 1895 Podcast

Three wise men followed the Great West Star over the Severn Bridge to Cardiff, watched the definition of a game of two halves and then returned home via numerous diversions to talk about it.Hermansen, Morata, Nuno, McDonalds orders, Parker, Johnny Hills, Ezra Mayers and much, much more...We also answered a couple of questions that were missed off the last pod and looked ahead to a long journey north to Blackburn this weekend for our first proper taste of Parker ball.Intro / Outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

Less than 12 hours after we recorded, West Ham made the decision to send Nuno on his way.So not only do you have the optimism of a potentially prosperous Parker period but you also get a perfectly positioned pleasing podcast to guide you through it. The pod contains less alliteration than this, just so you know.Intro / Outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

To be brutally honest we anticipated a shorter pod tonight but West Ham 1-3 West Brom has prompted a serious discussion about what is going wrong, why is it going wrong, what should a new manager be looking to fix and who should we be considering.We also answered your questions about Iraqi dictators, beer preferences and baby pigeons and we looked ahead to our trip to Wales this midweek.Intro/Outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

... then two come along at once. A 2-1 win against Charlton at the Valley in the Sandwich cup was followed by a 4-1 win at home to Liverpool in the WSL. In the words of Bob Dylan, "the times they are a changing".We also preview the Man City game, lavish praise on match officials, question the WSL's scheduling of games and make hilarious score based puns.Intro / Outro by CeeMajor.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok.

After a comfortable 4-1 win at St Marys in the League Cup, we could have been forgiven for thinking their visit in the league might be equally as comfortable? Well, we were wrong! Is Nuno still the man for the job and can anyone work out what he is trying to do?We also discuss the potential of spending £50m on our stadium and look ahead to West Brom at the weekend and how we will cope without our Greek God at centre half.Intro / outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok.

West Ham lost 3-0 away at Brighton on a rainy Saturday evening at the Amex in front of Leslie and a few others. Charlton away (tonight as this is recorded and published) and we welcome Liverpool to Victoria Road on Sunday for our last winnable WSL fixture for a while.And is it really so hard for players to show some respect and appreciation for the fans?Intro / outro by CeeMajor.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

The boys reflect on a professional performance over Swansea and a comfortable win albeit one that was short of talking points. So we ranted about the ticket office, the away support and George's glowing resemblance to a 1970's pop legend, showed a lot of love for Pablo, a lot of respect for Veltman and absolutely no respect for our opponents this weekend.Intro / outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

After a lengthy international break, West Ham women are back with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the WSL and a 2-1 defeat to a referee (with a supporting cast of London City Lioness players) in the Sandwich Shield.What are we lacking and just how ordinary do you have to be on a cold night in Dagenham in order to win a Ballon D'or?And can Big Dave remember which Cascarino is whichIntro / Outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

A Lincoln hasn't suffered that badly since the Emancipation Proclamation but West Ham ran riot in the second half against a poorly disciplined Lincoln side.Big Dave, George and Marshy reflect on a game with two red cards, six goals, 1300 away supporters, a scaffolded stand (without a running track underneath), Pablo, Soucek, Jarrodonna, Mavrodonna and ASBO Eddie.We also look ahead to Swansea with some mild enthusiasm.Intro / outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and TikTok

5 full days after our 1-1 draw with QPR and the anger is yet to fully subside, much of that remains directed at the man in the dugout. 2 poor penalty decisions from Reubyn Ricardo and Jarrod Bowen could have seen a different outcome but nonetheless it remains two points dropped.Soucek has a new contract, is Pablo underrated or is he now just rated, and by the time you listen to this we will be in the car and on our way to Lincoln so we gave some predictions for that.Intro / outro by Cee Major.@1895pod on X, Instagram and Tiktok
