We (the relegated clubs) are all finding it a difficult season in the Championship. As they say, it's a tough league to get out of.

But you've employed a manager with experience in the championship while we've got one just because he's an ex Rovers player it seems to me.Rovers are going nowhere with Venkys in charge where I can see Bolton doing what Blackpool did a couple of seasons ago and sneak a playoff place then go up with a win at Wembley.

And on all 3 occaisions it was a penalty prior to the assault , if the ref gives the penalty no assault , simples as the little furry animal says

The ref not giving you a decision is not enough in my book to suggest Fellaini's reactions were justifiable. I mean, if he'd racially abused him I wouldn't agree with assault but I could understand that.

Has Benitez been bulleted on the back of the Club World Cup loss?

Is headbutting the right way to go about solving 'cheating'? I wouldn't mind but Fellaini does it just as much as anybody so it kind of made me laugh that he rose to scrubby play when he's a scrub himself.

Everton will be kissing 4th goodbye if Fellaini gets a big ban.

There are too many stronger squads than ours anyway for 4th.

But I don't think we'll struggle without Fellaini. We're not a one man team.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20756755 Mario Balotelli: Man City striker takes club to tribunal "A two-week fine is the maximum penalty stipulated in standard player contracts and, although City refused to comment on the case, they are privately confident of winning." They might win the tribunal. But they'll lose more if they do manage to get rid of him. And Mancini is losing more because he looks like a POS manager who has no authority over his players.

Two wrongs don't make a right. If the decision goes against you, you get up, dust yourself down and get on overcoming the injustice through your play not violence.
