242. No time for pumpkin picking as West Ham prepare for Villa

Now that the international break is over, James and Will are back ahead of Sunday's hugely anticipated trip to Villa Park.

With both sides having ambitions of finishing in the top-seven this season, this is going to be a huge test and will give us some indication of what we might be able to achieve this term. Avoiding defeat away from home, especially at Villa Park, will be a good result, but all three will send a huge message to the other clubs who have the same ambitions as we do.

Given the break, this is a shorter episode than normal but we did manage to fill some of the time discussing pumpkin picking and Thorpe Park, before Will put James on the spot once again with an invite to his birthday party next month.

Also this week, we're joined by friend of the show, huge Villa fan and BBC journalist, Tim Warwood, who entertains us once more with his views on Villa, while he also introduces us to more of his family members!

It's great to have proper football back!
