Pretty sure it'll be Rose, which if you saw the Watford game....is somewhat concerning!

Only other option really is push Bale back, and maybe Niko on LW.

Didn't hear anything of this. How likely is it that he will a ban? Considering Van Persie got away with a blatant elbow...

Well, if the procedures go to form, we are looking at Rose possibly playing in the Toon/G00n/Manc games.

Gonna have to raise his play big-time for those ones.

BVB did you see the challenge?

In my opinion if it's investigated, it's nailed on that Benny will get a 3 game ban. Only thing in his defence is that it wasn't malicious, just very poorly timed.

Arsenal are a lucky team, hence RVP got away with a blatent elbow. I doubt Spurs will be so lucky.

Nasty challenge in all honesty that deserved red. My only concern is the complete inconsistency of the panels, and how do refs keep missing these blatent misdemenours.

No, I didn't get chance to see motd last night, and it wont get put on iplayer either. That could be a blow to my dream team!

That wont be a ban... if it is then RVP must have got special dispensation because its his last few months in the Premiership before he jets of to sunny spain with his new team mates.

We have Stevenage in between, so BAE would be OK for United, would he not?

Sorry but I don’t see how this could happen, things can only get reviewed if the ref did not see it! Ref saw the challenge and chose not to take action. Hence Balotelli getting done, as webb and turned away and missed it and Lampard didn't get done as the ref saw it and didn't take action!

By the FA taking action on a situation deemed to be dealt with by the ref they would be undermining him. Hence why I was under the impression this doesn’t happen!

BVB - he basically did what Benny does, and tried to turn his way out of trouble - he did a neat turn away from one player (I forget who) but then ran into Di Santo. He was trying to basically drag the ball back away from Di Santo, but his foot went over the ball and straight into Di Santos shin.

As I say, nothing malicious in my opinion, but pretty sure it will be deemed reckless.

Malouda tackle for chelsea last night was much worse but the ref booked him so nothing can be done

If he does get punished post-match, we cannot really complain.
After the <Citeh> stuff, I don't want Spurs supporters to turn into whiney apologists.

It was poorly timed but Malouda's last night was a lot worse and should have actually seen red as the foul was actually given unlike Benny's one.

The problem is you could tell that Benny's was accidental but Malouda's had a certain intent about it but Wigan lost a player whereas Swansea's continued. Do you punish the intent or the outcome??

He won't get a ban

whose benny?

Gotta be Danny Rose, every other game other than Watford I feel he has been a good stand in for Benny. Don't forget the game at Liverpool last season which we won, he was excellent.
