Hammers' Fulham appeal was 'mistake'

David Gold admits West Ham made a mistake by complaining to the Premier League over Fulham’s decision to field what he describes as their “ladies team” in the Cottagers’ 2-0 defeat against Hull.

With one eye on a midweek Europa League quarter-final against Wolfsburg, Fulham manager Roy Hodgson decided to rest five key players for the match in March, which they lost thanks to goals from Jimmy Bullard and Craig Fagan.
