The Suspension Tightrope – Convenient

Most of our Suspension Tightrope protagonists were on their best behaviour last weekend. While Ashley Williams and Ramires fell foul of the referee’s wrath, both will now serve their respective one-match bans in the Capital One Cup – for a certain Spaniard on the other hand, there’s still time for that to change prior to next weekend.

Michu remains on four yellows and continues to pick up vast numbers of new suitors after notching another double against Norwich, though a caution in Wednesday’s Capital One Cup clash against Middlesbrough would earn him a one-match ban for the Swans’ trip to Tottenham next Sunday. Ashley Williams misses out in midweek for the Swans after picking up his fifth caution, while Chelsea’s Ramires will skip the Blues’ cup showdown with Leeds on December 19 for the same reason. Villa pair Ciaran Clark and Fabian Delph both balance precariously prior to tomorrow’s cup clash at Norwich.

Fulham’s home game with Newcastle this evening has a trio of players sitting on four yellows – Steve Sidwell for the hosts and Jonas Gutierrez and Cheick Tiote for Alan Pardew’s visitors. The Magpies also have a couple of players on three cautions apiece, Davide Santon and Mike Williamson.

Only one player moved onto the Suspension Tightrope last weekend, then – Everton’s Leon Osman shifted onto four yellows after picking up a booking in the 2-1 home win over Spurs yesterday, while former Toffee Wayne Rooney is now on three yellows, just two away from a one-match ban, after his caution in the Manchester derby.

Luis Suarez is available for Liverpool this weekend after serving a one-match suspension in yesterday’s win at West Ham, while Stoke welcome back Charlie Adam after the midfielder sat out their draw at Villa. Wigan pair Gary Caldwell and Maynor Figueroa also return to bolster the Latics’ backline for Saturday’s visit to Norwich.

Finally, John Obi Mikel is in the middle of a three-match ban received for foul and abusive post-match language and behaviour relating to Chelsea’s game with United back in October. With the Blues away on World Club Championship duty this coming weekend, Mikel will miss the Capital One Cup game against Leeds on December 19 in addition to the league game at home to Villa four days later.

    Argh Diame might be out for 12 weeks just as West Ham's fixtures start to ease up. West Ham fans, is it worth keeping Jussi and/or buying Nolan, who I was considering?

    I went to a shop, to buy a t-shirt.

    Both t-shirts were 100% cotton.

    They had different labels.

    One cost £2.99

    The other cost £29.99

    I bought the more expensive one, cause I am smart & successful.

        Maybe they are both made in the same place, by the same people, with the same material...

        BUT, one has a brand logo on it & people pay more for it cause of that, because they went to be deemed successful & not a poor loser.

          this is also true. many pirate products are being made in the same factory by the same people. BUT if you compare clothes made in europe to clothes made in china/indonesia, they are obviously much cheaper which are made in china/indonesia and the workers are not treated humanilly there

              we're not talking about the same thing here. of course the expensive brands use sweatshops and charge you on the brand only. but there are also clothing factories in europe, usa.. and clothes from these factories are never cheap.

        Thanks. The question of his fitness and not as much love for his fixtures as others here is why I am thinking now, actually. It's certainly a short-term issue that I am reacting to, but rest of season, I can't shake the feeling that Silva might be the one in midfield.

      Repost from last page :
      Just a point , IMO silva is lagging behind Bale Mata Michu and Fellani and possibly even Carzola on terms of points returns at end of season ,
      If you could manage it that would be my ideal 5.

        Sorry, just saw this -- thanks for the repost.

        I broke up that exact platinum midfield last month, and with Mata and Weimann for Puncheon and Ba came the insecurity of wanting both my expensive mids to be firing at all times -- very Roman of me, I know. If Silva is Bale's equal then it solves both my short and longterm problems, but I don't yet have the data to sort it. To the member tables!

      I have Pienaar on my bench with 10pts waiting to come in if Fletcher doesn't play.

      This almost guarantees that he will get one point this evening. I am guessing maybe 62 minutes + a yellow card.

      He's likely to play from what I can gather. I think he'll start, and if he doesn't do well versus Reading at home I don't know when he is supposed to.

    So...i had to make 2 decisions last week:
    1) Bring in Michu or Sessegnon (as captain) for Bale
    2) Play Enrique or Clyne.

      team is fine for this week. I'd play Demel over Cuellar if he is fit and the other defenders are okay. Definitely don't need a hit anyway. Maybe do one of your defenders > GJ or whoever to get 11, if you're happy with the other mids Michu doesn't matter.

    Foster (hopefully)
    Cueller - Sagna - Baines - Nelsen
    Cazorla - Michu - Fellaini
    Berbatov - Rooney - Suarez

    Only sub is Federici

    What do you think? Rooney will be captain.

      You know Torres will be playing, that's the problem. Having Tevez and not knowing if he's starting is so annoying.

      Transferring in Torres should be something that's done quietly so that you can transfer him out without anybody knowing you did something so silly haha.
