No Joe appeal

Club have confirmed that they wont be taking it any further. So he's definitely suspended for City away, West Brom home and Birmingham away.

Two tricky aways there, hope we can get by without him.

Very odd. Would an appeal not have meant he might have made the City game, albeit might get an extra day on his suspension?

Not so..

If we had've appealed it, and the appeal was deemed to be frivilous - he would've got it automatically increased to 4 games

August

14 - Arsenal (h)
21 - Manchester City (a)
28 - West Bromwich Albion (h)

September

11 - Birmingham City (a)
18 - Manchester United (a)


Look who that 4th game is against..

based on the fact he will get game time against the turks in the 2 games in the Europa League, Joe will be raring to go against the Scum when it comes around..

I have just read the Aquilani thread and see that it’s already been discussed at length.

No worries Pal

I think the fact he can play a couple v the turks and will then be available for the Man Utd game means it was right not to appeal.

Every game is a tricky one, but we have a squad that can cope.

Dead right DannyMan - i fully expect Red Roy to slot Stevie back to his position of last year, playing just behind Nando and Lucas to fill in in Midfield.

Our squad is stronger this year, we have a bit more flexibility for such situations...

He's having a bad few days. He's just been found guilty of speeding.
