Mbia confident QPR
can stop the rot
Stephane Mbia is confident that QPR can take something
from Arsenal this weekend despite the fact his side are without a win this
season.Much had been expected from the Hoops after a number of high-profile acquisitions this summer, but they languish bottom of the Barclays Premier League without a win from their opening eight matches. Mark Hughes' side will do well to stop that run stretching to nine games this weekend at the Emirates, although Mbia believes QPR can get a result.
Bernstein said the FA's disciplinary commission got
Terry's punishment "pretty much right" and he did not want black
players breaking away and forming their own association or union.to review
sanctions for racial abuse
Ferdinands call for
change in racism fightAnton and Rio Ferdinand have released a joint statement to explain their disappointment with the Football Association and PFA over their response to the John Terry racial abuse case.
Football Association chief executive David Bernstein insists he understands the frustration of Anton Ferdinand and his family.
And Bernstein admits FA punishments have to be reviewed following weekend protests against John Terry's four-match ban for racially abusing the Queens Park Rangers defender.
Ferdinand, his brother Rio and many other players refused to wear 'Kick It Out' T-shirts as an objection to what they perceive as a lenient punishment for Terry.
Bernstein said: "I have every sympathy for Anton.
"He has had a rough time in many ways. I have great respect for all the parties and understand the sensitivities. I think the tariffs will need looking at.
"It's on the agenda to look at the tariffs again. There are a number of things coming out of these events to look at again."
However, Hoilett was pleased with the performance against David Moyes' side and appears optimistic that a maiden win is on the horizon.
"I thought we played well for the duration of the match and were very unlucky not to get the three points that we're craving right now," Hoilett told the club's official website.
"We were relatively happy with a point against a very good Everton side, but I felt on the night we deserved more.
"We'll keep working hard to get more points on the board and we showed again against Everton what we are capable of when we click into gear."
Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes has indicated he will not punish his players for refusing to wear the Kick It Out T-Shirt on Sunday.
Anton Ferdinand - who John Terry was found guilty of racially abusing by the FA - was joined by team-mates Djibril Cisse, Alejandro Faurlin, Junior Hoilett, Nedum Onuoha and Shaun Wright-Phillips in declining to wear the shirt in support of the anti-racism organisation at QPR's game with Everton at the weekend.
But unlike Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson who suggested Rio Ferdinand would be dealt with for his identical stance, Hughes respects the decisions of his players.
"There was a discussion between the players at the beginning of the week," said Hughes. "My understanding was that everybody was going to wear the T-shirts.
"It's a personal thing but my belief is that any campaign trying to take racism out of football and sport is a good thing and we should all try to support it.
"Everybody will have their own view on that. Some will say they are doing enough, some will say they aren't doing enough.
