First of all, fairplay to Aston Villa AFC for being able to stream a 'live' pre-season friendly involving West Ham United where it was actually possible to actually view the stream instead of the frankly quite suspicious subliminal whirling white wheel that is usually associated with 'free to air' Hammers' games.

Adrian, Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice, Noble (c) Wilshere, Antonio, Anderson, Arnoutovic. Subs: Trott, Byram, Diop, Fredericks, Cullen, Obiang, Hakserbanovic, Snodgrass, Martinez.

Robert Snodgrass has played in all of West Ham United's three friendly matches thus far, giving the impression that manager Mauel Pellegrini sees something he likes about the 30 year old Scottish international. We have been stern critics of Snodgrass on this site, not because we dislike him as a human being, far from it, it is not his fault that he was an overpaid for panic buy who was played out of position during his brief tenure with the club before being sent out on a season's loan to Aston Villa.
