    West Ham

    Have made a complaint to the Premier League about Fulhams team selection against Hull

    West Ham make Fulham complaint
    Premier League asked to look at team selection for defeat at Hull

    The Premier League have received an official complaint from West Ham about Fulham's team selection against Hull City.

    The Cottagers made six changes for last Saturday's Premier League clash at the KC Stadium, which Hull won 2-0.

    Manager Roy Hodgson then made five changes ahead of Thursday's 2-1 win over Wolfsburg in the Europa League quarter-finals, with Aaron Hughes, Dickson Etuhu, Damien Duff, Danny Murphy and Bobby Zamora coming back into the starting line-up.

    West Ham and Hull are both locked in the Premier League relegation scrap, and Saturday's win took third-bottom Hull level on points with the Hammers and boasting a game in hand.

    Hodgson has already rejected claims that he has any case to answer, insisting he was simply using the full depth of his squad.

    Wolves were hit with a suspended £25,000 fine after manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes for their defeat at Manchester United in December as he looked ahead to their home meeting with Burnley.

    A Premier League spokesman said: "We can confirm that we have received an official complaint from West Ham over this matter.

    "We will now ask Fulham for their observations and then the Premier League board will then consider what actions, if any, are appropriate."

    Premier League rules state that all teams must field their strongest side available for all games.

    This is just ****ing ridiculous. I mean fair play if they put out the whole reserve team or under 18 team.. but what if key players aren't applying themselves in training... Do they deserve to play every match?

    I think not.

          Considering they are incapable of winning their own games it is a bit cheeky. Like stop losing every week and you won't get relegated

            Yep, and they were the ones who went mental when Sheffield United went to court over Tevez

              Not being funny but how many games are in a season 38????????

              One game won't send you down, it may contribute to it, are west ham looking for excuses??????? I know Wolves did it at Manure but they knew they were going to lose not that that makes it right. Your league position at the end of the season tells you how good you are overall.

                          For me the Wolves thing opened a can of worms, admittedly that was taking things too far, and the only reason it was punished IMO was because McCarthy admitted it. I think if he'd kept his mouth shut they'd have got away with it. As it was they were punished and it's sat a precident for anyone to complain. I can see alot more of these things being brought to the FA's attention by offended clubs.
                          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                            To be fair to Wolves/McCarthy I think I heard the other day that 8 of the supposed weakened 11 are now regular players in their first choice team.

                            It was a daft thing for the league to punish in my opinion.

                            I can see why West Ham are doing it - they want all the sides other teams play to at least put out decent sides against their rivals. You get enough moaning on here when say United play teams who don't pick a first choice team. It does seem very petty to actually go through it though.

                              They didn't seem too concerned that Man Utd fielded a weakened side against them in the last match of the 2006/07 season.
                              That rug really tied the room together.
