I half wonder if this could mean him coming back too if they can get a cheap price

well this accelerated fast, can't claim to have ever seen him much so won't comment on him as a player but its another attacking player so can't hurt

now thats just lunacy

anyway Barcelona have begun the tapping up process on Suarez. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/01/barcelona-luis-suarez-biting-apology

fucking pardewed myself they do yeah, but I think they are in a good position to do so problem is every club under the sun is fully aware of the fact they have money to spend since just the Shaw and Lallana deals are high profile meaning any players they want get that bit more expensive as other clubs try to rip them off. Thats assuming the owner decides to let the full amount go to replacing them which is debatable

Why do that when you can play the worlds best FB in midfield even though you have loads of other decent central midfielders though? it doesn't make sense, just managers trying to be too clever for their own good Not as bad for Bayern as at least they have a brilliant LB and some passable RBs but this shower? Nah, nee sense. I still think Bayern would be better off playing a full back at full back, its not like full backs aren't important in modern football Bayern do actually play a natural fullback / wingback which might actually suit their team better. These lot don't have a fullback at all. yeah but none as good as Lahm. He's the best full back in the world play him there

Dan Roan ‏@danroan 1m Suarez "after the impact..I lost my balance, making my body unstable & falling on top of my opponent. I hit my face against the player.. Dan Roan ‏@danroan 57s leaving a small bruise on my cheek & a strong pain in my teeth." Panel said bite was "deliberate, intentional and without provocation."

Dan Roan ‏@danroan 2m Luis Suarez claimed to FIFA's disciplinary panel that he did not deliberately bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini (AP)

thats confusing me actually, attack wasn't Liverpools problem, far from it, sure they need extra depth but I would have thought the immediate need was to improve the defense or get someone better at actually protecting the back four than Gerrard

I'm just sick of people defending him or trying to portray him as a victim but what really gets me is the line about the fans being denied seeing him play as if thats any kind of relevance. He did wrong, he got punished and he should use this sudden amount of free time to seek therapy and reflect on maybe just maybe he did something wrong because I'm not sure he actually does think that, not with so many consistently trying to publicly excuse his wrongdoings.

looking up on baseball (never watched it) seems over 2.5 hours is the average in MLB

I'm reasonably certain she's never watched 30 seconds of a game in her life

Tabarez all but saying that the english media made FIFA ban Suarez for so long the self same english media that FIFA despises for asking awkward questions about how corrupt the organisation is. Didn't seem to admit that Suarez was actually in the wrong either judging by journos on twitter.

Thought this was interesting. It's definitely back in fashion. certainly seen an increase in usage in last few years I've noticed, I half wonder if its because tbh these days you'd be hard pressed to name many defenders who are of the same level of quality of the past so 3 of them to compensate. Wonder how many sides will adopt it after the world cup.

its just such a ridiculous thing to do once, let alone three separate occasions and on the latest two have lots of people go out of their way to defend and excuse his actions portraying him as the victim of an unjust media witch hunt boggles the mind. Surely be to god at some stage these guys like Lugano, Tabarez, Rodgers and the Liverpool hierarchy have to look at themselves in the mirror and wonder what in the name of holy fuck are they doing

my opinion is that he was brilliant but not so much anymore, not to say he's incompetent or anything close, he's still a good manager but a lot of what made him great early on in the sport science, diet and scouting everyone caught up on.

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 2m #SaintsFC left-back @LukeShaw3 is due to have medical at #MUFC ahead of a proposed move, Press Association Sport understands.

What a strange thing to have to say about a human being. its the kind of thing you expect to say about a very young child not a fucking 27 year old millionaire.
