Suarez may be somewhat "tanned" by Canadian standards, but in Latin America people like him are just considered white. It's perfectly normal even in the corporate world in both Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries of Latin America to call a person black, or negrito, or negao, or whatever. I can see Suarez's side of it, but at the same time he's a football player. He's played in Europe for years and knows racism exists strongly in the sport. He's not in Uruguay anymore.

1) I dont get it. Suarez was charged with Racism by the FA....and...? He started today. Theres no punishment?

2) Hey Raul and Fernando, I'm glad you guys get to play for a big club, and I'm gonna let you finish, but I think you should tell the manager or King Roman that the rent is a little late.

3) Glen Johnson vs. Cashley. Theres a battle you dont see everyday. Nice to know the guys in Red win it.

Ya the process is still going to take a while before their is an end result.

That was a great win today. There was some pretty odd decisions for both managers in terms of starting line-ups, but I have no complaints.

My mistake, I assumed that the charge meant that they'd found grounds to punish him, I didnt know that it just means that they havent dismissed the issue.

It goes without saying that I'm thrilled with another win over the Rent boys but is it wrong that my overriding thought once we'd won was 'F.U. Torres & Meireles'.

I should just move on shouldn't I? But you know what I really don't care to do that right now so I'll say it again;
'F.U. Torres & Meireles'!!!!

What the hell has he done to deserve that?

A bit of video evidence. The music is tragic, but the footage is worth a watch:

Interesting article on the use of advanced stats in soccer. Lots of EPL mentions.

I love Macca. When he believes something, he tells you.

This United game is hilarious. United score off a free kick for Hernandez falling into someone and then are karmically punished by one of the single worst penalty decisions I have ever witnessed.

But hey, 9 times out of 10 that stupid penalty decision goes United's way and everyone else has that 'hard done by' feeling.

I'll say again though, that Cabaye is a hell of a player.

There you go United, now you only have to break down 10.

Oh my God United, what a bunch of whiny basterds. The second the ref has blown the whistle, the entire United side surround him to bitch.

That was an incredible performance from Newcastle. Well done lads. They should be proud of themselves for that.
