:lol: busbys persistant digs.....

Mate, I want him to stay, he is your biggest chance of getting back to the top where you guys belong. United fans want our game to mean more than just a derby, look what City's success has done for the Manchester Derby.

I just feel it's different to say the Cantona situation which it has been compared to. Fergie runs United and was able to deal with what happened and make sure the club didn't get rid of him, I don't think Rodgers has the same influence, the people who run the club will be looking at other things besides what he offers on the pitch.

10 games.... sheesh.

F.A= Fergie's Association.

10 weeks. Essentially Suarez's bite = Barton assaulting 4 players.

Nice one, FA. Cunts.

10 games is fair. He's been suspended for biting before, it's not like you can give him less time the second time around.

And and what Busby is saying, I know a few people that simply don't follow Liverpool at all any more due to Suarez. Call them plastic or whatever, it's probably true, but the club isn't getting any money from merchandise and/or ticket sales any more.

Club's better off without them to be honest. If they don't turn up because of Luis then they're not going to turn up because it's "too rainy" or "too hot", whatever. Fuck off and support Sydney FC.

The EFA didn't suspend him last time around. That's got precisely three fifths of fuck all to do with it.

If the fixture list comes out and we're playing Manchester UNited in the first 6 games of the new season, I will cry foul.

The fa stated that the incident in holland was to play no part.

Agree with afroman. Anyone walking away from the club can do so with no resistance. The club is bigger than any player and if so called fans don't see that then they can Knick off

The ban in Holland, was 7 games but I think 2 of them was from the club. The association ban was only 5 games. This is twice as much of a ban.

I'm not surprised but I think 7-8 would have sufficed.

Soccer clubs will only play ball if we bite into profits

BY LINDY MCDOWELL – 25 APRIL 2013

According to Liverpool Football Club, striker Luis Suarez, who this week attempted to bite a chunk out of opponent Branislav Ivanovic (the name is itself a mouthful) is to be "offered anger management classes."

Maybe they'd be better offering him a steak before he takes to the field. Luis is obviously suffering from some sort of deficiency – whether simply nutritional, it's difficult to say. What is pretty apparent in this story of flashing gnashers is that it's not actually the arm-eating Luis who has the real problem. It's the toothless world of football.

For whatever they do to him, short of "offering him the door", it is the so-called beautiful game that will bear the bite-marks.

This week just about every football pundit in the land from Alan Hansen to that loud bloke in the bus queue was sounding off about Luis and his big gub. (It isn't the first time he's bitten an opponent. And he's previously hit the headlines over allegations of racist comments.)

"Indefensible", "unacceptable", "inexcusable." These are just some of the terms used by the footie fraternity. Here's another. Guff.

For that's what all this pious talk amounts to. Suarez's biting attack is in fact, entirely defensible, acceptable and excusable. We know this because football has already all but defended, accepted and excused it.

If it hadn't, Senor Suarez would already be on the flight back home to Uruguay. Without the shirt.

But football in general and Liverpool in particular need the striker. He's described as a footballing genius. He's up for the PFA Footballer of the Year trophy at the weekend. And Liverpool isn't just a football club. It's a business. In blunt business terms it cannot afford to lose its sharp-fanged star.

The statement from the club may say his behaviour is "unacceptable." The reality is however, they are accepting it – because they're keeping him.

The multi-millionaire star is being fined, of course. And he's asked for the money to be given to the undeniably worthy Hillsborough disaster fund.

Does that make what he did any more palatable though?

I'm getting sick of hearing about it.

Next thing I want to hear regarding Suarez biting is that the bans has been reduced 2-3 games after a successful appeal.

That just makes the whole penalty even more laughable.

Chance Gerrard will miss the tour down here because of his shoulder operation.

Hell, chance it won't happen it all if we get in to Europa through Fair Play.

Gotta finish above Everton farken

cavani in for suarez.

sign lescott and kolo toure.

sign eriksen from ajax.

and liverpool could be a top 4 team.

Preferably I'd like to keep Suarez instead of bring in Cavani.

Cavani

39 games 32 goals - 7 goals from 7 UCL games.

Suarez
44 games 30 goals - 4 goals from 8 europa games.

Cavani has also never bitten anyone.

Just because one player works for one team doesn't mean they're going to work in another team.

Suarez works for us. Cavani would be great, yes, but I would still prefer Suarez.

Nowt wrong with a bit of controversy.

Cannot believe I've just seen someone suggest Kolo Toure. Have I just stepped back in time to 2004 ffs :lol:

lol did I say they would be starting 11? You need depth to make the top 4 and you don't have it with this squad. You lose one of your defenders and you have to put some woeful hack like coates or carra in there and you wonder why you leak goals.

Oh dear.

After all the talk about how unjust the ban was, no appeal

S.A Ferguson, RVP, Branislav Ivanovic

Here's Suarez's official press release regarding why he's not appealing.



seems like a top bloke off the pitch. Maybe he's allergic to grass or something.

Fair enough statement but surprised he apologised to Ivanovic as well, fair play.

Just lost my shit haha! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love the suggestion of Joleon Lescott as well. Yeah, let's just go full-blown retard.

SAF actually criticised the ban. Albeit that be brought it back around to the Cantona suspension he was still critical for the FA's duration.

Lovely to see we rebounded in style to this week's controversy. A little bit of character there. That said, where have these performances been all season? Especially with the last few flacid draws.

in suarez's official apology thing, what does the number 16 represent next to his name? is that his 16th apology?

Not much of the 6zip win fellas :lol:
Continho has great touch and vision great to watch.

see u don't need your biter.
