Mum Who Irons (West Ham Podcast)

Quarter Freakin' Finals!

Mum and son discuss West Ham's fantastic FA Cup win over Brentford, the match that went all the way to penalties, and what penalties they were! Jarrod Bowen's Brace, Pablo coming back into the team and sadly the injury to Crysensio (Cree) Summerville were all debated. The 1-0 win over Fulham was also discussed and then a prediction for the Manchester City game. And Spurs might have been mentioned a little.

Anfield Avalanche: just the five then?! (Liverpool 5-2 WHU)

Mum and son made the trip up to Anfield this week to watch us get pummelled 5–2 by Liverpool what somehow still felt like a nailbiter. They break down the chaos of the game — the key moments, the controversial decisions, and the individual performances that summed up our afternoon on Merseyside. Was it defensive disasterclass or just ruthless quality from the opposition? They give their honest verdicts. Beyond the 90 minutes, they also share stories from their trip up to Liverpool — the atmosphere, the away-end experience, and whether the long journey was worth it. Attention then turns to the bigger picture: how the relegation rivals fared this game week, what it means for the table, and why the latest end-of-year accounts from West Ham United make for such stark and worrying reading. To wrap up, they look ahead to the next big test against Fulham and give their predictions — with survival nerves very much kicking in.

Nil-Nil but not Nothing! (WHU 0-0 Bournemouth)

Mum and son discuss the 0-0 draw at home to Bournemouth including the tribute to Ludo Miklosco. They also travelled to Tamworth to watch the 3-1 semi-final National League cup win for the U21s, which they discuss. Then they share some West Ham news and make their Liverpool predictions.

Summer has arrived early! (Recap of Burton, Man U and Burnley games)

Mum and son were not able to record last week so they recap the last three games, starting with the Burton Albion FA Cup Fourth Round, where we won 1-0. Mum and daughter actually attended this game. Then mum and son discuss the local, household derby against Manchester United (midweek game), where we were robbed of 2 points (some might say). Finally they discuss their trip up to Burnley where West Ham won 2-0 - our first clean sheet since August. To round off the episode they make their predictions for the Bournemouth game.

Chelsea Chaos and a Costly Collapse (WHU 2-3 Chelsea)

It was a rollercoaster 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, in this episode we break down the twists and turns of the match, we talk team shape, game management, big performances and what this result means going forward. A tough day in West London but plenty to unpack. Then we move onto transfer and make our Burnley predictions.
