West Ham vs Aston Villa

Retired big bad baldy in all black!
20 minutes in and it's not been short of incident already.

Villa with a big shout for a penalty. West Ham defender turns his back on a cross, outstretched arm behind him, ball hits arm, no penalty given. "Unnatural position"? Regardless of how far the ball did or didn't travel, definitely made himself bigger for me. Howard Webb from the comfort of the studio though it should have been a Villa penalty.

Villa's Jordan Ayew rightly shown a straight red for crazy off the ball elbow! Brains of a rocking horse! :confused:

Mark Noble very lucky not to be in the book in the first half after pulling back a Villa player and diving in with another challenge, both of which looked nailed on yellow cards in their own right. Noble finally picked up a yellow after a fairly reckless challenge in the second half.

Robbie Savage co-commentating with an absolute gem. Referring to a fairly blatant off the ball shove by James Collins.... "The ball wasn't in play, so it wouldn't be a yellow card" :eek:
