    We're not mathematically safe yet, so no. If we win against Birmingham, then maybe we can consider such an action, perhaps even give Airey and Ferguson starts.

    He'll get a booking against Chelsea, so lets hope he doesnt against Brum & we can rest him last game of the season.

    I would rest him for Saturday, think we'll need him more at Chelsea.

    Not for Brum, need the 3 points there to be safe, after that maybe but would like to see him for the final home game <ok>

    He is getting himself a reputation, some very soft fouls given against him recently. I'd play him against Brum and see how he goes.

    Play Brum game, if he gets booked don't play for rest of season. If he doesn't, play Chelsea game, if he gets booked, don't play against West Brom.

    It is something to consider once we are mathmatically safe but until then we should play him. Until then we should play the best 11 we can muster each game and worry about suspensions later.

    Incredible if he is the 1st player to reach 15 yellows in a PL season. He made his debut 3/4 games into the season and probably has spent about 6 games suspended. He could end up having 15 yellows in 20 games. Yikes.

    Thing is with Tiote, he's not dirty at all. He very rarely goes to ground (cough cough ALAN SMITH cough cough) and wins the majority of his tackles. I think most of them are just niggly yellows that are just because of his reputation and a lot are from being exposed because of Nolan lack of pace and agility.

    I agree that we should play him against Birmingham - if he gets booked then leave him out of 2 remaining games of season

    If he doesn't get booked then play him vs Chelsea - if gets booked then leave him out of West Brom game or if not then play him in all 3 :)
