I'm defending him. One of THE most committed footballers I've ever had the pleasure to watch. The fact that people get their little panties twisted is not a problem for me.
Did you see the Ajax of Amsterdam fans turn out in their tens of thousands to thank him for his time with them? Hardly an unsophisticated set of supporters. The same will be true at Liverpool and the more half truths and hypocricies spill from the lips of opposing supporters about him the greater the support will be. If you don't get that then you don't get football.

OK RedRider - I'll leave it there. If you are condoning biting in football then that's your call. It's a free world.

So a team player that brings his club into disrepute is good for the club?
A player that will hopefully be banned just as he is needed the most and as a result will miss out on European football is good for the club?
A player that shows such disrepect to fellow players (racists remarks and now biting) is good for your club?
Many players are just as committed at Liverpool such as Gerrard & Carragher .....

Yes you are right ..... I have much to learn about football !

'nuff respect to the Chelsea fans at the game today. They (the vast majority anyway) applauded the tributes given to that great woman, Anne Williams and applauded the blind kids taking penalties at half time. Showed some true class. I have to admit, I was gone before the incident everyone's talking about so can't and won't comment until I've seen it. I also have to say that Mata is some player! He looks different class to anyone else out there today but just because they've got oodles of spondoodles and can buy the best players won't mean anything unless you have someone who can manage them into a coherent whole. The best individual players are meaningless, the best TEAM are (usually) unbeatable.

What a load of poo! I can recall several biting incidents in rugby union, a sport I don't even follow, as well as fouls that make Suraez's bite appear a tickle.

It's is indeed very nice that Liverpool fans were afforded the opportunity by the opposition fans to have t.h.e.i.r remembrance respected. Will this be a reciprocal arrangement in the future?

Which is why Football is the gentleman's game played by hooligans and Rugby is the hooligan's game played by gentlemen :smile:. Meanwhile Spurs surprised me by turning over city, AVB earnt his money with those subs and tactical changes. I thought it was going to be a draw all day.
