Luis Suarez decided to snub Patrice Evra's handshake ahead of today's 2-1 victory over
Liverpool. Given that Suarez was the guilty party, having been banned for eight games for racially
abusing Evra, it is incredible that he opted to disrespect our captain again today.
However, this could have been predicted when you consider Suarez revealed this week that Evra
was wrong to report the racial abuse he received.
Given I only get to the ground about ten minutes before kick-off, I missed the opportunity to
buy the latest edition of Red Issue which went on sale today. Why? Because the GMP,
without receiving a single complaint, deemed the picture on the back page "potentially offensive"
so went about confiscating it and threatening the sellers with arrest.
Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that after refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand ahead of
kick-off, Luis Suarez should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again.
"I could not believe it, I just could not believe it," Ferguson said. "He's a
disgrace to Liverpool Football Club, that certain player should not be allowed to play for
Liverpool again.

Rio Ferdinand refused to shake Luis Suarez's hand today after seeing that the Uruguayan snubbed
Patrice Evra's offer to shake his hand. Despite being found guilty of racially abusing Evra, our
captain was the bigger man in agreeing to shake his hand, but bizarrely, Suarez chose not to.
"Bad decision making from their guy," Rio told MUTV.

It will be a hostile atmosphere when United take on arch rivals Liverpool this weekend, and Sir
Alex's side are slightly odds-on at 1.91 with Paddy Power to come out on top in what promises to be
a real hard fought battle.
The game sees Patrice Evra come face to face with Luis Suarez for the first time since the
Liverpool striker was banned for eight games after racially abusing the United defender and the
role of referee Phil Dowd will be crucial.

Park Ji-Sung made his 200th appearance for United last weekend in our 3-3 draw with Chelsea.
When Park joined United for £2m in 2005 several people claimed it was just to appeal to the
Asian market in order to sell more shirts. Those people obviously didn't watch him play for PSV
against AC Milan in the Champions League a few months before we bought him.
Dimitar Berbatov, who was last season's top scorer in the Premier League, is disappointed with
how few games he's played this season, but claims he won't be speaking the media about his current
situation.
He has scored 7 goals in 10 league appearances this season but has spent most of the season as
fourth choice behind Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.
Following Paul Scholes' return from retirement and Manchester United's issues settling in a new
number one goalkeeper, Edwin Van der Sar has revealed people have been asking whether he has any
plans on doing the same.
"I got a few text messages from friends saying, 'What about you?'," Van der Sar
said.
