Not justifying Fellaini's swing out vs Huth or Schweinsteiger's forearm smash on Reid, but Aguero's is worse than them both. Both of the former incidents resulted in retrospective bans. Surely this has to be too. Inconsistency from refs on the pitch is understandable, especially if they miss it, but if a panel can review it over and over and make a decision, then surely this has to fall in line with previous cases that were incredibly similar. It just has to be a ban.

It'll be carnage if he gets away with it. Didn't he get away with studding David Luiz right on the arse that time? Sergio seems to have a squeaky clean reputation of a choirboy, but he can be pretty nasty and sly quite a lot of the time.

:lol:

He obviously should be banned. Agüero has got a bit of a nasty streak in him, which comes out now and again.
The two footer right up Luiz's arse comes straight to mind. He wasn't punished for that, was he?

He'll be banned, and rightly so.

Good thing for us - given he's their best player.

Yeah, definite ban since the player also had to go off which makes it worse. He should be out for the Derby which is good since he always scores against us.

Obviously purposely tried to get banned as he doesn't want to face Bailly in two weeks time. Coward.

Sky bringing it up now.

Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini and Leicester's Robert Huth have been banned for three games for their clash in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Huth pulled the Belgium midfielder's hair, who in turn elbowed the German.

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger will serve a three-match suspension for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid.

The ban begins with immediate effect after the Germany captain accepted an FA charge for violent conduct. The incident, last Saturday at Old Trafford, was not seen by the match officials but was caught on video.

Schweinsteiger caught Reid in the throat as the players battled for position from a first-half free-kick during the 0-0 draw.
If the FA don't ban Aguero they should probably look at closing as an organisation.

What's with the victim mentality all of a sudden? It's unbecoming of this forum. Small time.

He won't get banned. Can't have one of the best strikers in the world missing a huge Mourinho vs Pep showdown.

He obviously knew Reid was there. They were holding each other.

Have FA retrospective banned anyone recently?

Was a despicable elbow into the throat. He needs to be banned for sure
Yep. Basti got banned for 3 matches for an elbow against West Ham and ironically Winston Reid. It'll be a piss take if Aguero doesn't get the same.
