Sunday's thoroughly enjoyable victory in the final fixture of this season's Barclays Premier League, against Watford away at Vicarage Road, was marred by the wrongful issuing of a red card to Hornets defender Jose Holebas. The straight red given meant that Holebas would have been unable to appear in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, fortunately the decision has been overturned, meaning the defender is clear to play.

The 34 year old defender was sent off after the referee judged him to have pulled down Michael Antonio 18 yards out from goal, however TV replays showed the contact appeared to be extremely minimal.

Hammers captain Mark Noble told the BBC of his sympathy for the veteran defender ”When the ball goes in behind Antonio he is so quick and strong, I feel bad for the lad because of the FA Cup final, does he miss that? It’s horrible to see that, he worked so hard to get to the final and he can’t play in it.”

The FA, quite rightly come in for a fair bit of stick about many things, but in this instance they acted fairly and quickly in order to ensure a once in a lifetime wish is fulfilled, and good luck to Watford FC, even if we don't like Troy Deeney! - Ed
