How soon is now?
Should he not have been suspended for this game?

No he was suspended for their midweek League Cup game vs Bolton.

Which he would probably have been dropped for anyway
I thought they had changed that rule - precisely to stop players 'wasting' their suspensions on cup games that they weren't going to be playing in?

Some sackings on the cards?

Not as far as I’m aware and if they have then Arsenal will be looking at a points deduction for playing him today.
But remember, the officials all hate Arsenal and are corrupt against them, hence why they sent off poor, innocent Declan Rice after Veltman so violently assaulted him
How would that be controlled ?

The only way to control it would be to make red cards suspensions competition specific like they are for yellow cards.
I know they are already separated for domestic and European competitions. So a suspension for a red card in a Premier League or domestic cup game doesn’t carry over and vice versa. But it seems a bit silly that a player could be sent off in a League Cup game that their side go on to lose and then not serve any suspension for months.

Yes.
It can get very confusing when you live somewhere that there a fair few Ipswich supporters.
I've looked up the rules now, and see my confusion. What they changed was with regard to yellow cards. So, it used to be the case that if you got a fifth yellow, you'd be suspended for the next match - whatever it was. I seem to remember Dunk desperately trying to get booked once so he would miss a cup game instead of the next PL game. Anyway, five bookings means a suspension for the next PL game - regardless of whether there's a cup game first.
But the same thing doesn't apply to red cards - that's just 'next domestic game'.

Well that was deserved

A different kind of pasty
Go on the tractor boys. 2-2 
They didn't.Fully expect Villa to sneak a late winner
Hoping they hold on to dump European bound Palace in the relegation zone though
