It's been nice having a break from the stresses of West Ham these past few weeks but the reality is where edging closer to welcoming the boys back to action - it's just a shame it's going to start the way it ended as we prepare to visit league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates on Boxing Day.
But before that inevitable disappointment, James and Will get together for a quick catch-up and discuss their thoughts on the World Cup so far.
Nayef Aguerd's Morocco have already made history and are now just 90 minutes away from a World Cup final, while the likes of Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta have impressed for England and Brazil respectively.
But while his performance for the Three Lions have been top class this winter, the way in which he addressed his future when asked by the media had sections of the West Ham fanbase frustrated with his honesty. Of course, we all know he's good enough to play Champions League football, but should he have been so honest while West Ham struggle near the foot of the table?
The lads discuss all of that and more this week, before returning properly next week ahead of the trip to North London.
Note: Apologies of the sound quality this week, both of our microphones didn't seem to be working! A few weeks off and we've gone all amateur on you. Back to top-quality production next week. Promise!
