Liverpool have opted against appealing the red card Joe Cole picked up in his Premier League debut and he'll miss the next three matches.
Cole, 28, was given his marching orders in first half injury time during yesterday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal after lunging in on Laurent Koscielny. The Reds were given until 1pm today to contest the dismissal but the Football Association confirmed that no approach was received before the deadline.
The ex-Chelsea midfielder is now guaranteed to miss the subsequent clashes against Manchester City, West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City. Cole will be available, however, for both legs of the Europa League play-off round tie against Trabzonspor.

Our man Greg Stobart has plonked himself down at Old Trafford and found this in Sir Alex Ferguson's programme notes:
“A nightmare game followed by a brilliant recovery could well prove to be a turning point for De Gea in his career. David had a bad day when we were knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool a fortnight ago. I was possibly the person least concerned about giving him a recall, because I know his potential. He is capable of being United’s No. 1 goalkeeper for the next 10 years, and in the game at Chelsea he showed exactly why I have so much faith in him wit a display that was first-class - no, much better than that, he was superb. His performance reinforced my faith in him.”

The general consensus on Twitter seems to be that Liverpool can pillage something from Old Trafford today. A sign of renewed confidence on Merseyside? United fans skeptical after being knocked out of the Cup by Kenny's men? Or perhaps Red Devils fans just don't tweet as much?

Glad to see I've got some backing from Georgie Flood, who offers this on Twitter:
'shame Carroll didn't get to start. Just as he's been finally picking up form. Possibly a big mistake'

In all the excitement, I'd forgotten about #birthdayfootballers. Some, well, rather dubious efforts coming in, not least from our own Assistant Editor Stephen Darwin who offers up 2007 Balloon d'Or winner Caká.

Well, well, well. I would have thought Craig Bellamy had done enough in weeks gone by to nail down a starting place. And, though I'm sure I'll get gunned down for this, Andy Carroll too after his relatively decent shift against United in the recent FA Cup tie.
Interesting team selection by King Kenny. What do you Liverpool fans out there reckon? Tweet me at @GoalUK to let me know.
