Blackpool 1 West Ham 4 - Goodbye Rob Green

One from the recent archive, notable because it gave us the opportunity to practise waving goodbye to Rob Green as he was given his marching orders following a foolish and rash challenge.

The game will never be forgotten because there's not many times when a team win a contest 2-0 when a man short, especially when that man is a goalkeeper! 10 outfield players on the pitch, no specialist keeper, and we still tonked the Tangerines!

Catch a glimpse of Allardyce doing his nut on the touchline! And Noble critics might take note of the free kick that sets up Tomkins for the first goal.

Anyway, fun to watch back knowing the score. It was agony on the night itself once Green collected that red, the third dismissal in three consecutive matches! Is that a record?

Wow, Noble did his job, something footballers do day in day out, up and down the country. But what the hell, let's give him credit, he only does it every so often.

Noble crossed a ball and a goal was scored? I must have missed that one amongst the hundreds of corners & free kicks that were absolutely appalling.
