Bolton skipper Davies unimpressed by Upson antics

Bolton Wanderers captain Kevin Davies has slammed the antics of West Ham defender Matthew Upson after victory on Saturday.

The England defender was shown a yellow card for a reckless challenge on the Bolton striker and became increasingly exasperated as the game wore on.

Davies said: "I think he was trying to get me booked, which was disappointing. He knew he was going to be in for a battle today and every time I went in for a challenge he was on to the referee. I take that as a compliment that he wasn't very happy playing against me."
