86: Lost integrity, neutral venues and rubbish Rice rumours

We're still no closer to being reunited with the beautiful game but that hasn't stopped us from having plenty to talk about in its absence. The latest is that West Ham are among six Premier League clubs who are against the Premier League's proposals to play the remainder of the season behind closed doors and at neutral venues, which is quite understandable given what's at stake in the battle to stay in the top-flight. That forms the bulk of the conversation this week, while we also spent much of the episode discussing some of the biggest talking points from our exclusive feature-length interview with club legend Tony Cottee (https://audioboom.com/posts/7574016-tony-cottee-special-bonus-full-length-exclusive-interview) , who very kindly spent almost two hours chatting all things West Ham with James Jones (https://twitter.com/ByJamesJones) and Will Pugh (https://twitter.com/WilliamPugh_) earlier this week. If you haven't already done so, make sure you go back and listen to that bonus episode where Cottee talks to the boys in-depth about the board, Declan Rice, his Hammers career and, of course, some of his best memories of that 1985/86 season. And finally, as always, we end the show with the West Ham Mystery Players Quiz, where it's getting very tense heading into the final few weeks of the season. Can Will level the scores and put even more pressure on James? You'll have to listen to find out.
