Football is about scoring goals more than defence

Gerrard is the only player I would take that is mentioned here

Suarez is too greedy, im not talking about his work ehic im talking about his glory holing/QUOTE]

I'm sorry but Suarez would get in any team in the world right now ! I think if it came to RVP and Suarez being sold in the morning Suarez would be bought quicker because he is a few years younger . Both players are so good its frightening . Right now they are the two best players in the league .

I'm really annoyed to see Man U win another league title, and to do it with a side that have basically scored their way out of trouble, a side who have conceded more at home that we have. It's being a crap season. No team has really shun, Man U have been less awful than Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal so on. This Man U team are not world beaters by any means. Their winners, the passion is there for Stoke away,as much as it is there for Liverpool at home

We turn our passion on and off depending on who and where we play, will never win anything like that. Players like Downing, Shelvey ,Sturridge,Henderson, Enrique,Lucas, Skrtel believe they are already WINNERS
They play for Liverpool, that is enough

It's never enough for Suarez, Gerrard, Carra, Reina, there is no sense of achievement in this season for them. Rest of our players are content, they've made it, IN THEIR EYES

We need more winners

Man U won the league by being less awful than the rest? Which suggests that they too are awful to some degree. What utter rubbish.

They are the best team in the division and one of the better teams in Europe. Every year there is crap said about how Man U have a weak midfield, poor defense or some other bitter rambling pointing to some perceived deficiency in their team/squad, yet year in year out they are scrapping for the biggest domestic honour regardless of the strength of the rest of the league.

And guess what? Even if Chelsea, City and others perform better next season, you can beat your last euro that Man U will still be in the mix for the title despite them not being anything special in your eyes.


They are currently on 84 points with the potential to finish on 96 points. Yeah that is the sign of an awful team alright.

The only thing I agree with you on is the quality and mentality of our own players. We have plenty of guys who are top class on paper and who are mentally strong on paper, but Man U have guys who can turn up and perform in the real world more often than not. Guys who, in the case of many of them, don't seem to get a lot of credit for how good they actually are.


Less awful than the rest indeed.

Grayditch

There's been times where you could say they were the "least bad", but don't be silly. This season they won a mad amount of games.

Suarez accepts charge of violent conduct for biting Branislav Ivanovic but disputes charge is worth more than three match ban

Hidalgo

he'll get a lot more than 3 games imo.

One thing that might go in his favour is if he commits to some sort of FA programme for character reformation etc.

Anyone know if he's been to see the psychologist fella, Steve Peters is it????

The Echo reckon it'll be between 6 and 8 games. I'd say that's about right.

That's just domestic games I take it?

Hopefully it's 6 max, 4 this season and the first two of next season.

Considering he has a ban for Uraguay too he'll be chomping at the bit to get stuck into things early September.

Saying all that, he'll probably get 10 !

I don't think he would. Ability wise he might but what big club would want to take on a player who will have picked up three controversial and lengthy bans in three consecutive seasons? All the while picking up in excess of £120,000 a week. Not many I reckon. I can't see him going anywhere.

Only domestic, not that it would matter anyhow as we certainly won't be playing in Europe unless that silly long shot of the fair play thing comes in.

If he did get a stupidly long ban like 10+ games then it only applies in England so if he were to go abroad it wouldn't matter afaik.

That is up to FA of the Country he would go to, French FA upheld Joey Bartons 12 game ban at the start of the season.

Saurez on Sunday made reference to Defoe on his twitter account and how it was seen different

I reckon Suarez will get 4 games tbh, more than 3 like the FA said but not a mad amount either

He won't get off that Lightly he will be punished severly . I reckon it could be an 8 game ban .

If it is 8 would it be so bad?

4 for last few meaningless league games?

4 at start of season, could also include a league cup match.

No worse than a short injury.

It will also give Sturrigde a chance to show what he's all about too .

I can't see the Fa banning him for less games than the Dutch Fa. Im expecting 8 possibly 10

If we won the first 4 games of next season, then no it wouldn't be bad.

If however we pick up 1 from point from 12 like this season it'll be a disaster.

It wouldn't be a disaster, but not good either. Chances are he will still be head and shoulders our most effective player if he is still at Anfield next season, so the more games we have him for the better obviously, and any new signings will take time to gel with him so the sooner that starts the better as well, especially since he won't be back for pre season until the start of August pretty much unless he gets a lengthy international ban as well for the punch thing.

I love his drive, determination and massive will to win, but I really wish the madman impulses could be taken from his game without affecting the rest. Just goes to show though that he will do anything to win.

I hope he is banned from international football forever !

If we had a few more players with his will to win we would be in the top four .

mada999

Violent conduct should have a standard 3 games, hopefully it will only be 3.. sure wasnt Fellani only banned for 3 games for a head butt? or is it because it's Suarez that he'll get banned for more?

Well at least we can practise without him in next 4 games.

Really, we can play sometimes without him. Just like in 08/09 when we still won games without Torres and Gerrard.

If he was injured, which can easily happen we'd have to cope as well.

missingtime

8 games would be pretty ****e to be honest.
If we get in some proper players in the summer we might be ok but I think we really need a good start if we want to have any chance of 4th.
Not having Suarez will definitely impact on that.

Hard to say, remember Barton got a 12 match ban for assault on Aguero last season. Worse incident but strong ban. 8 -10 games is not impossible.

Ahh well let him go now and meet up with Uruguay ahead of this summers Confederations cup

''In a statement the FA said: "Luis Suárez has accepted a charge of violent conduct, following an incident with Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in Sunday's fixture at Anfield. However, Suárez has denied the FA's claim that the standard punishment of three matches is clearly insufficient for this offence and suggested no more than 3 or else. The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed. An independent regulatory commission of Manchester United supporters will hear the case tomorrow, Wednesday, 24 April."

"and no more than 3 or else"

Whatever happened to the Guardian. They can go away and fuck off with that sensationalist shite.

Why would he suggest that, and what could he do about it? Queue Luis to bite the FA jokes now..

ManOnFire

Jesus wudnt it be great to get good start to the season for once! to get a step ahead and not always be thinking if we win game x and y we might catch team x or y . we need Luis for that , missing two games of the new season would be bearable any more would worry me

what would be consitent about that, when a player is banned he is banned, Ih ave never known them to wait once an appeal is done, if he appleals?

I meant the size of the ban and I do not think he can be banned if he is appealing just incase he wins. What is the point in appealing if the ban goes ahead while you appeal

The reason why I asked could they wait till next year as this year is done really. Pretty bad if they did I would say

He won't appeal as he had admitted it.
