Blackburn beat us 3-2 at Old Trafford. They didn't have to try and score really, they were presented with the goals on a plate. Losing to the bottom team, great. City going 3 points clear tomorrow, even better. Came back from 2-0 down, but it didn't matter in the end. We had 27 shots, but only 5 were on target. Blackburn had 5, 3 on target, and scored with all 3. They'd be doing well if they played the bigger sides every week.

Kean needed that

He did but it'll take a lot more to please the Blackburn fans. It's easier away from home for him because the fans don't heckle him. It's disgraceful at times, the treatment he's been getting.

Better yet Chelsea lost and Arsenal won.

I'm pretty we'll grab the champs league place now, I can't see Liverpool or Chelsea besting either us or Tottenham.

I read the synopsis of the Luis Suarez report.

He's lucky not to be banned for the season. And Liverpool should be ashamed in supporting him so vehemently.

Mr Evra was a very impressive witness apparently, whereas Mr Suarez was less impressive. Suarez, in reply to Evra asking why he'd been kicked, said "because you are black". When Evra asked him to repeat what he said, Suarez replied "I don't talk to blacks"

That, coupled with other things Suarez said, makes 8 games look light.

Still the appeal to come, I would suspect that Evra is using the race card if a player claims to be booked because he was "Black"
Dirk Kuyt says Patrice Evra claimed he had been booked by referee Andre Marriner because he "was black"

Of course Evra said that.

Liverpool aren't appealing the ruling here, they're just appealing the ban length. Going by this report of the findings in the case, they shouldn't bother.

Well if that is the case, there is no case against Suarez, I assume it is because the opposition is scared of his abilities to score against them

For Suarez to claim that he says that to Johnson [Glenn], then I think the commission should of called him up, but they didn't....so I think the commission has failed to look on all sides. I think Suarez has a case, I think he should bother

There is a case because Suarez was found guilty of using racist gestures.

He was called to the enquiry, his evidence was found to be inconsistent. He was given a fair hearing.

Dippers and conspiracy theories lol.gif

And one person as a credible witness after he assumes the reason why he is booked, is because "he is black" such a shambles on the commission to find Suarez guilty

It's something Dirk Kuyt made up to suit his own agenda. Much like the "South American" thing that was dismissed.

The biggest losers here are Liverpool's PR department, because presumably they OK'd the whole Suarez T-shirt thing (remember, 24 hours after Suarez was given 8 games) and now because of that, have ended up with egg on their faces because of the findings of this report. Kenny too, because apparently he was behind the whole thing.

I don't think it was a Dirk Kuyt agenda, there are other players in the Premier League that Evra accuses of calling him "black"
