I would have accepted the elbow after Griffin slap, says Stoke's Fuller

Ricardo Fuller would have accepted the sack from Stoke for slapping his own captain Andy Griffin the last time he faced West Ham. Manager Tony Pulis let him off with a £20,000 fine and Fuller, whose side entertain West Ham today, said: 'If the club wanted to get rid of me I couldn't argue with them and demand to stay. 'But I think it helped the club. After that incident everyone rallied around.'
