Can Mario Play on Sunday

or is his ban over after the Villa game? Will we see a new shirt with "Tekthatyercockneybastard" on it next time they play Spuds? He thinks its one word - with his limited knowledge of English.

Yes, his ban is now over ( or so the Guardian says!)
I wouldn't put him on from the start though, with Dunneymonster Ireland and Given playing, and Barry and Milner for us, there will be some needle still, plus Dzeko needs a run, so maybe for the last 30mins, less chance of another red! But what do I know? Mancini might play him from the start!

Reports of fan protests by Villa fans at Big'Eck, so if we get an early goal, they could go to pieces, lets hope so! but with recent away games not being too great, who knows!
Pizzaro may get a start, he looks goo from the you tube research I've done, good quick feet and distributor of the ball, will link up well with Silva I'm thinking

No,it was a 4 match ban for second red card as VK

Yes? No?

Guess it was a 4 match ban so after Villa game he is eligible - Yes No

after villa match 4 games will have been missed. mario will be available again after the villa match.

Whoops! must have misread it ( or they misprinted and edited out when I went back to look for the article )

Anyway, the Villa game is looking like a real must win now, what with Liverpool rolling over for Utd ( I watched most of the 1st half, and they were crap) and Spurs 4-0 up at halftime against Newcastle!

I think Pizzaro will be an important player for us if he plays tomorrow, quick distribution, accurate passing, comfortable on the ball. Time for another decent away win
