Patrice Evra Accuses Luis Suarez of Racial Abuse

"He knows what he said, the ref knows it, it will come out. I won't repeat what he said, but it was a racist word, and he said it more than ten times. He tried to wind me up. I won't make a huge deal out of it, but it's very upsetting and disappointing." —Patrice Evra, speaking to Canalplus

Patrice Evra is being more than a touch disingenuous when he accuses Luis Suarez of hurling racial epithets at him during Saturday's match at Anfield, as to even broach the subject of such abuse on the pitch with the press is to make a huge deal out of it, intentionally or not—and to genuinely think otherwise would be a quite nearly unbelievable display of gross naivety from a man who will have been coached over the years in how to deal with the press as part of his job.
