Holloway is threatening to quit if he is punished for the squad he put out against Villa last night.

The PL are investigating Blackpool for a fielding a weakened team, but Holloway insists that he was simply using the full depth of his squad.

Yes, he made 10 changes, but the team he put out pushed Villa all the way so I don't think you can truly argue that he put out a weakened team unlike when Mick McCarthy pretty much threw in the towel against Man U the other year.

And so he should, as long as the players named were in his 25 man squad, then he has every right to play them. Why on earth are the FA holding an investigation (other than to provide an excuse to pay the top brass a bit more)?

I didn't see it as a punch.

It was flat palmed, not clenched fist, it was more of forceful push then a punch.

You clearly haven't seen it then. You can't see it as anything else but a puch, he punches Pedersen in the chest. He deserves a ban and will get one. There was no flat palm or push he punched him.

It was nothing more than a playful tap.

If anything pederson should have been booked for diving.

A tap? ? ?

Barton tried to state it was when Pedersen and the referee were having a word with him.

Yes, i think Pedersen made the most of it, but Barton did seem to punch him with a decent bit of force.

He is a silly boy, he has been playing quite well for us so far this season and has been putting in good performances.

You cant defend him punching Pedersen.

Barton has admited he punched him,said he's sorry to everybody and has accepted the ban he going to get.Maybe you'll admit you are wrong now.
