    Oh the irony!
    So calamityburg fails to protect West Ham players from thuggish everton players and three horror tackles but the FA can charge the club for taking exception to it!?

    If amilfitano and noble weren’t so nearly seriously injured you could almost laugh about it!
    Can anybody else see the problem with this picture?
