The Manchester United Thread

[santinomarella]

Liverpool were actually doing quite well without Suarez. Knocked us and City out of cup competitions and booked their place at new Wembley for the first time. No controversy surrounding them. Then Suarez returns with a kick on Parker a UFC fighter would be proud of, then rakes Parkers eye, then refuses Evra's handshake, then kicks the ball into the crowd from a short distance. 2 games back for Suarez and Liverpool surrounded with negativity again.

Liverpool have showed a lot of support for Suarez but he hasn't exactly repaid that support by causing further problems. They should get rid, take the money and bring in a player that makes the headlines for all the right reasons.

Seeeeeriously? Idiots, lol. Well, they had a nice run. They're in for a shitstorm vs the media/fans/others now

Can't fathom why anyone would act like such a knob when the subject at hand is as sensitive as racism

I think it is safe to assume Suarez is mentally handicapped. Seriously, he seems to lack basic human understanding of the world around him. Quite sad he's not getting the help he needs.

Here's a video of Evra celebrating:



Disgraceful to see the Liverpool players trying to jump him.

[dc89]

I wouldn't say they tried to jump him. It's only like what Balotelli did last year.

[Tutankhamun]

Reina was going after him, ran right up to him. Should be a suspension that. Keane would have killed them!

Here's the "controversial" Fergie interview: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16997451

Balotelli was celebrating in front of United fans though. Evra celebrating with his fans. He didn't do anything to wind up others, just enjoyed the moment with the United support.

[dc89]

Doesn't matter where he was celebrating. Fact is, United can dish it out as good as they take it. The picture speaks for itself.

Yeah because he went straight to the United fans to wind them up, not his own. Evra was just celebrating like someone would celebrate a goal.

That's BS. Mario intentionally tried to irritate the United fans by, quite clearly, choosing to celebrate in front of them. Evra, in his house mind you, was jumping around celebrating and thanking the teams fans. That's different. Evra had every right. Mario had none.

[dc89]

Well I think he can celebrate at Wembley after beating United to reach the final. Like Neville said today, footballers are human and they have emotion. Yes, not the wisest thing to do celebrating infront of rival fans but does that give the 4 United players we see there the right to man handle him?

No.

All I'm saying is, it's not a big deal how a small handful of Liverpool players reacted today. United can't complain about it, because they do it themselves at times.

[Tutankhamun]

I'm saying they had no right to react. Evra wasn't doing anything wrong. If Evra had celebrated in front of the away fans that would have been wrong but he didn't. The Liverpool players should just have gone down the tunnel and contemplated why they are such a shit team instead of acting up.

That's like saying people can't complain about decisions going against them because sometimes they get decisions in their favour. People still complain though.

If you're trying to say him running right in front of Suarez and jumping around had nothing behind it, then that is hilarious. Whether it was deserved or not has nothing to do with it. It was as obvious as a wind up can be and nothing wrong with the reaction.

Lol. He started celebrating before Suarez was close to him.... Think.

[Nitey]

Tell that to the FA re: Terry

[Shibby]

Lol. He started celebrating before Suarez was close to him.... Think.

Yeah he was already celebrating. And THEN he made the deliberate decision to go and continue his celebrate in that specific position, right in front of Suarez. ....Think.

People have speculated that he didn't even notice Suarez (Apparently the Sky cameras made it look like he did) however I don't know.

Also I don't care, Suarez deserved it, especially after refusing to shake Evra's hand.

To quote your manager... it's all banter

Oh I don't blame him for doing it. I'm just calling bullshit on the claims that it wasn't an intentional wind up and players had no reason to react to it, just like you would call bullshit on potential claims that Suarez saw Evra's hand down and looking away from him and thought he was being snubbed so he moved on. The believability of both is on par.

[yourmumsface17]

Pretty pedantic argument saying Evra's hand was to low to be honest

[Shibby]

lol like i said, the believability of both is on par. it's clutching at straws.

[Tutankhamun]

So what you're saying is that Evra shouldn't have celebrated in that position since Suarez was there? Who the fuck is Suarez? The sheik of Araby? Evra clearly wanted to celebrate with all fans.

Let's not forget Suarez is the one to blame for all of this, he made the racist remarks and he refused to shake Evra's hand.

Liverpool supporters acting like Evra did a single thing wrong are deluded idiots.

read a few posts up. i said i dont blame him for doing it. but United supporters claiming he didn't deliberately do it to wind up Suarez are the deluded ones.

also, fixed it for you.

Bullshit. Evra isn't a pussy like Suarez if he wanted to wind him up he'd done it more visibly.

Also you fixed shit. For the thousand time, Suarez admitted to USING the remarks he got suspended for. His defense was that he did not mean it in an offensive manner. Learn to comprehend a situation if you are going to go around "fixing" posts...

[Metal Warrior]

I can't wait until this entire thing has blown over. Too little is said about our performance in the game. I'm sick and tired of this entire Evra - Suarez saga. Anyway, I hope Villa do us favour tomorrow. Poor side this season but still a tricky game at their place.

[yourmumsface17]

If you ask me Evra didn't go far enough with the celebrations, something like this would have been more appropriate.
