The long-anticipated crossover episode is finally here! Adam is joined by Tony Clark of the American West Ham Podcast to fill in and give his thoughts on the recent news surrounding West Ham! We talk West Ham’s loss to Wimbledon, discuss the Arnautovic Saga, and preview the upcoming Wolves match!

We all had it pegged as a walk-over, confidence-boosting game for West Ham, coming at the perfect time! Unfortunately, Manuel Pellegrini’s XI chose to not show up for this important fourth round draw with AFC Wimbledon. We talk about how Wimbledon stuck to their game plan and succeeded by picking apart shotty performances by more than half of the players in the starting XI.

Tony and Adam then give their views on Marko Arnautovic’s new contract. Surely he’s off in the summer, but can he be relied upon to do his job in the meantime? And who is the perfect replacement for the Hammers attacks spearhead? *cough* Maxi Gomez(?) *cough*

As per usual, Adam and Tony finish up with a preview of the Iron’s midweek, Premier League match against the newly promoted and impressive Wolverhampton side. We do a very difficult combined XI before discussing who has been more impressive Nuno or Pellegrini, and finally five our score predictions!
