Greater Manchester Police stated that they carried out the action [.
Down like a sacker spuds Sunderland forward James McClean scored a cheeky opener against Arsenal
after defender Per Mertesacker generously fell over. The German defender left the field on a
stretcher after the incident. That prompted Soccer Saturday pundit Robbie Fowler who had taken to
calling the Arsenal man "Metzelder" to say: "I [.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson didn't mince his words over Luis Suarez's refusal to shake
hands with Patrice Evra. The Scot said that Suarez should never play for the Liverpool again.
"Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club," said Ferguson. "He should not be allowed to play
for Liverpool again.
Rio eats grass After the handshake controversy, Manchester United captain Patrice Evra made it his
ambition to plant one on Luis Suarez within the first minute of this afternoon's match. But he
missed and it was team-mate Rio Ferdinand who felt the brunt of his challenge instead, leading to
this spectacular faceplant.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was cutting an increasingly frustrated figure during the first-half
of his side's match against Manchester United this lunchtime. After his refusal to shake Evra's
hand before kick-off, Suarez was jeered throughout the first-half. He then showed his frustration

After spending yesterday not thinking about the England job, Harry Redknapp has now given it some
thought and decided that he is "flattered". Meanwhile, the rest of English football's great and
not-so-great have been falling over themselves to declare that they have no interest in the
vacancy. 1. Arsene Wenger "I have never really been [.
Ok, ok it's not going that well, although we did receive £10 back on our £30 stake last week
after the lower league football programme was decimated by the snow. Still, with QPR refusing to do
the business at home to Wolves all was lost. This weekend will hopefully see far more football on,

possibility of him doing just that is on all major news bulletins, OTP wondered what exactly he is
thinking about. 1. Business investments 'Arry's still not got round to investing that money that
