That one too. The only difference between Aguero and the other two was that Thatcher & Adebayor were booked, whereas the ref in the West Ham game (Marriner?) initially said he'd seen the incident and hadn't considered it worthy of further action but was "persuaded" (via an offer of refereeing the League Cup final) to change his mind.Aguero twice too wasn't it. The West Ham incident was fuckin pathetic.
Thatcher deserved harsher punishment but Aguero and Adebayor were the result of media pressure, pure and simple.
