West Ham boss Grant reveals Downes asked permission to rant and rave

West Ham United boss Avram Grant was happy with Wally Downes' touchline antics for victory over Wigan Athletic.

Grant was happy to pay tribute to Downes' contribution - even if he will need earplugs ahead of his team's next game.

He said: "Wally asked me before the game if he could shout whatever he wants. He's very happy and energetic. He shows his passion in a different way to me."
