I think that West Ham’s decision to relegate Yossi Benayoun (Israel Captain) to the bench, after both Pardew and Curbishley called him a “key player,” in the month preceding his clash with ‘Team England,’ (including the last fixure against Blackburn (17/03/07) before the tie) was very demeaning to the high standard of integrity I assumed the English Football Association posessed.
Hope Benayoun beats Paul Robinson on 24/03/07.
