Dabs and Robert will miss the FA Cup 4th round (assuming it's played on time). Otherwise it'll be the Spurs away game.

I reckon we can do without them for the cup

Yea, I saw that on teletext this morning. Couldn't have worked out better. Plus those 2 positions are probably our easiet to replace. Distin and Bernard.

Although had Robert not had his last yellow rescinded, he could have worked off his suspension while sorting out his hip injury - the benefit of hindsight!

You get a booking taken away if you go five games without a caution, I know that happened conviniently to David Beckham last season so he didn't miss the Arsenal game.

I'm not sure if Robert has played 5 without a booking though.

Dabizas only has 4 bookings - one of the 5 was in Europe and doesn't count towards domestic games.
