Now this would need to be checked, but I know that before this season, a suspension for five yellow cards came into effect seven days after the booking was picked up. So he'd be able to play against us, but not next weekend.

They don't have an FA Cup game next weekend though. ;-) He'll miss the game against Wolves I think.

The commentators said Lucas would get a suspension. They have been wrong before though

Previously, players collecting five yellow cards prior to the final day in February were subject to a one-match suspension. This will now only apply if a player reaches five yellow cards before 31 December. Sanctions for players accumulating 10 and 15 cautions remain in place as do their respective amnesty periods.

Furthermore, if a player does accumulate the permitted number of cautions prior to a cut-off date then the suspension will now be automatic as opposed to the current seven day rule.

The bottom line is, he'll not be missing our game. Either of those reasons will do it.

No Johnson, Torres, Gerrard or Benayoun. We won't get a better chance to win up there.

Snap! I was just looking for this as well. I am all most certian that Huddlestone and Jenas were also on 4 yellow cards before being booked yesterday, would that mean that all three would miss the Liverpool game? Eek
