Rooney stamps on a players testicles, but he's a United hero. I think that says it all.

Ah, I see what you did there ;)

I'd be ok with that.

IRT Suarez, biting is a pretty low act and I definitely wouldn't condone that behavior in a Liverpool shirt. However, hopefully he has matured a little since then, and this extra attention should force him to grow up.

It's all part of his extremely competitive attitude. He fights for every single ball. Erebus summed it up well in one of the Uruguay threads, but I can't find it.

:lol:

It's similar to Rooney in the case that Wayne has sometimes stepped over the line and even Man U fans have said it was too much, but generally his fierce competitive streak makes him loved by his fans, but disliked by opposition. I'm ok with that if Suarez turns out that way.

Even I wouldn't defend a United player biting someone.

:lol: could you just imagine if it was a United player.

:lol: People are just saying they don't like him, and that the bite was a dog act. But of course because you don't agree with this they're all wrong.

No one is saying that. We are saying it is a dog act and if it were any other player you would agree.

Alright, you all keep believing that he's the worst thing to happen to football in the last twenty years then.

:lol: it's a massive stretch to call that a headbutt :lol: It more looks like he foes to say something to him.

I thought you said he stamped on him?:lol:

Either way, you're kidding yourself if that's an attempted headbutt.

Shouldn't even be retaliating in the first place but if he does, he shouldn't be biting him, it's really low and childish way to react, as Funky said, it's a dog act.

His teammates with both Uruguay and Liverpool both seem to be 100% behind him.

No, Bakkal goes to headbut him, so Suarez bites him.

Moreover, after the game he goes up to Bakkal and apologises.

Nah, Biting is just a dog act. And it's not even like he was tackled and that was the response, he just bit the guy out of nowhere.

When the fuck did I say it was the worst thing to happen on the football pitch?

When did I defend Cantona?

Are players from United the only players ever to take a dive?

I said, from a players persepctive he isn't the most likeable character and I tend to agree.

I'm not saying it's ok. I'm saying it's better response than falling to the ground like he's been shot.

That's fine if people want to portray him as some kind of pantomime villain, but they won't be so smug when he's scoring a hattrick against them.

Fee is apparently around 11m

But how does any of that make biting someone ok?

:-s I said that!?

No, you're right. Dropping to the pitch, rolling around in pain like a big fucking girl such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo or Inzaghi would have is definitely the way to go.

I'm a little disappointed that he could be leaving, but if it lets us get a better fee for him and reinvest then there's nothing wrong with that.

:lol: So 2 days after claiming Aquilani wouldn't be leaving Liverpool he's now said that a deal with Fiorentina only hinges on personal terms and that an agreement is in place with the 2 clubs.

I'm with zimbos, you're right, the majority of players would do the same, I just hate him 'cos I was going for Ghana during the world cup and also, there is no getting away from the fact that it was cheating, but yeah I'm bias.



Tbf, biting someone is far from the best way to stand up for yourself, in my books it's one of the wussiest and most childish ways you can stand up for yourself.

This.

So...he bites a guy once for stamping on him in a confrontation and now he's the worst thing to happen to football since Maradona's handball. I'd rather a footballer stood up to defenders trying to bully him than dive like certain United ponces...or even fly-kick opposition fans. But I guess you're labeled a hero for that...

You show me a player who says they wouldn't have done exactly the same thing in his position and I'll show you a complete fucking liar.

In fairness, Manchester United fans are already talking about their '20th title', so Liverpool aren't the only team with over-excitable douchebag fans. Glass houses, dude.

I actually lol'd when I read it. One of the more outlandish transfer rumours this summer. Yeah sure you've got about 400 CM's, but he'd be one of the last to go. Especially after last season.

I just checked Lucas's stats at the Copa America and he came 2nd in the most successful passes in the competition and also came about 6th in successful tackles.

Boss.

Fuck them to hell. Lucas is going nowhere.

:lol: nice to see the Sun going down the old "sources close to the player" route and saying Lucas could be on his way.

Fair point. :)

Reading that Fulham want Poulsen.

Pleeeeeeeaaase.

Other fans piss me off too, esp Man City.

I just see more of it from Liverpool fans as 90% of my family and friends are Liverpool fans.

Fair enough. I k now some people get carried away but that's the case with every team. If it was another clubs fans it wouldn't annoy you ;)

He is a very good player when he is given space and time to create, but when he is put under pressure he tends to struggle, which is why he was pretty poor when he arrived because he wasn't used to the pressure.

If he develops to be able to cope with the constant pressure on the field he'll be a quality player. It's no coincidence his best performances when he was here came in Europe (Atleti) and against weaker opposition (Pompey).
