The FA have confirmed Adrian's sending off and subsequent three match ban with a brief statement on their official website:
"A claim of wrongful dismissal submitted by West Ham United in relation to Adrian has been unsuccessful following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing earlier today. The goalkeeper was dismissed for serious foul play during the game against Leicester City on Saturday (15 August 2015).Therefore, the player's three-match suspension, which is the standard penalty for this offence, remains with immediate effect. For a club to be successful with a claim of wrongful dismissal, it must prove to an Independent Regulatory Commission via written and/or video evidence that the match referee made an obvious error."
This is extremely bad news for West Ham fans, although it may hasten the signing of RobGreen from QPR, the player himself has apparently been tweeting about his imminent arrival at the Boleyn. - Ed

Next Game

So our next game is a meeting with newly promoted Bournemouth, after the debacle against Leicester of all teams, I would have hoped for a more favourable opponent ie not new to the Premiership. I watched the game at Anfield and was impressed and worried. They were unlucky to lose, a good goal ruled out by an overzealous ref and a bad decision by the officials in allowing Liverpool's winner when a Pool player was clearly offside. Bournemouth's performance certainly deserved some reward and will give them hope for their next match against us. If we play as we did against Leicester they have every chance of three points! I trust that SB has viewed Monday's game and hopefully can limit their possession and pace of play, which if not counteracted will give us a very stern test. Saturday's match proved to me that we are lacking in almost every area and new players are a must. We have a new manager who is intelligent, and, as we all know very eloquent. let's hope he can instill the very same qualities into the team although I feel that the adage "new tricks to old dogs" may apply in this instance to some of our "old dogs" and I don't mean their age.

He was brought in during Zola's tenure - erratic at the best of times, you never knew whether he would put the ball into the stands from long range drive or score a penalty by falling over... yet there was always an air excitement of excitement when Alessandro had the ball - he would try anything, always thinking outside the box but a lot of the time seemed to lack the ability to execute or perhaps communicate his plans on the pitch... Since leaving West Ham he played for a few teams and got a few caps for Italy but now at 31 he has returned to the PL and signed for Bournemouth... I for one am looking forward to his return! Welcome back Diamanti!

So what went wrong against Leicester

I didn't see the game today as I was working but was listening to Radio 5 which had plenty of updates, sounds like we didn't turn up in the first half and gave away 2 goals, just wondered what the game was like really, they said Oxford got replaced at halftime but did we play ok or did we look more like we did in pre season?
