Liverpool might end up in fourth position and wrap up a League Cup, perhaps even an FA Cup trophy too. At the season's end, however, the most poignant event, the most significant, will still be the Luis Suarez debacle. This club, Liverpool, of the John Barnes era, which stood up against continued racism (during the days when bananas were thrown at the England winger, and star Liverpool player, John Barnes from the terraces) has now sided with a player found guilty of racist incitement by a tribunal.

As I am sure you are all well aware, John Terry has recently been stripped of his England captaincy, a decision that he will not have taken lightly, but the question poses, were the FA right to do this? We saw how they dealt rather quickly and authoritatively with the Suarez-Evra debacle, yet they have [.

The fallout from the Manchester United v Liverpool hate-fuelled game yesterday continues. It has been revealed that yesterday morning Police swooped to confiscate every copy of the Manchester United fanzine Red Issue, which contained a cut-out image of a Luis Suarez Klu Klux Klan mask. Greater Manchester Police stated that they carried out the action [.

English Premier League Recap 11 February 2012 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog

Below are brief recaps for all the EPL matches played on February 11, 2012.

Man Utd 2-1 Liverpool

The Red Devils go top of the EPL table with a brace from Wayne Rooney. Luis Suarez scored a late goal for Liverpool but it wasn't enough for a comeback.

This should prove beyond a shadow Luis Suarez meant what he said to Patrice Evra. Every racist word. This does not mean he is a paid member of the KKK. He's just a prick with a very low threshold for frustration. Many fans in some blind reflexive way believed Suarez was the victim of a smear job and their misguided support probably emboldened him today.

So Sir Alex has come out after the match and made comments directed towards Luis Suarez that he thinks he is a disgrace and should never play for our club again.

"He's a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club, that certain player should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again."

I personally think Sir Alex is a Hypocrite with a very short memory of his own "Honourable" club.

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.

Como te lo adelante en la mañana de este sabado , el partido comenzó marcado por la polemica del uruguayo del Liverpool Luis Suárez, quien rechazó dar la mano al defensa del Manchester United Patrice Evra , aunque Rio Fernidand tampoco le dio la mano al uruguayo , todo al inicio del encuentro de liga entre ambos equipos en Old Trafford.

El delantero uruguayo que milita en Liverpool, Luis Suárez, se negó a darle la mano a Patrice Evra, en el partido entre su equipo y el Manchester United. Esto marcó el reencuentro de ambos jugadores luego que el francés lo acusó de insultos rascistas y por lo que el uruguayo recibió una sanción de ocho partidos sin jugar, se armo fuerte al polemica en semanas pasadas e incluso Suarez uso como defensa que el compañero de equipo de Evra , Javier ¨Chicharito¨ Hernandez le hablaba de la misma manera (negrito) a su ex-compañero de equipo en Chivas Guadalajara Esparza.

11.02.2012 - Con goles de Wayne Rooney (´47 y ´50), Manchester United venció (2-1) a Liverpool (Luis Suarez ´79) en Old Trafford (ante 74.844 espectadores) por la 25º jornada de la Premier League.

Sir Alex Ferguson didn't hold back in his assessment of Luis Suarez in his post-match interview with the BBC:

"Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club. He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. He could have caused a riot.

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.

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.

With all the build up revolving around Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra, this afternoon's early kick-off between Manchester United and Liverpool lived up to the pre-match hype. Arguably the spiciest fixture in the Premier League calendar, it was given even more zest before a ball had even been kicked, when Liverpool's Luis Suarez refused to shake Patrice Evra's extended hand.

United 2: Rooney 47′ 49′
Liverpool 1: Suarez 80′

United get a deserved victory on the strength of a Wayne Rooney brace, taking advantage of a lifeless performance in the second half from a Liverpool side that were wholly disappointing. Given the occasion and atmosphere you'd have expected Liverpool to at least show up, but on the day they lacked any sense of urgency, purpose or desire.

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.

I have always thought that one (of the many) reasons that I did not become a footballer was because I am too intelligent. In fact, as has often been the case, with some notable exceptions (Jorge Valdano, Socrates, Ruud Gullit....), intelligent footballers seems to be more the exception that the rule, and at a time when the media scrutiny is so intense, the demand on a bit of brains in footballers

So, it was Luis Suarez who refused Patrice Evra's offer of a handshake at Old Trafford earlier this afternoon...

Evra grabbed Suarez, then Rio Ferdinand also refused to shake his hand.

The scoreline does not reflect how good Man Utd were or the dire Liverpool performance especially in the second half. That was on the pitch as the rest of the world tuned into the Luis Suarez vs Patrice Evra telenovela.

The Manchester side came to play football while the Reds came to do, well, whatever Luis Suarez wanted to do.

Police were forced to step in and separate both Manchester United and Liverpool players at half-time after Patrice Evra confronted Luis Suarez in the tunnel. Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand prior to kick-off as tension between the pair continue to simmer in the wake of Suarez's eight-match ban after racially abusing the French defender.

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.

In their first meeting since Liverpool's Luis Suarez returned from his eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra, Suarez continued the already tedious matter and proved he's not above lying to his own manager all during the nonsensical pre-match handshakes.

As the Liverpool players shook hands with their counterparts, Suarez tried to skip over Evra and shake David De Gea's hand, but Evra tried to force a gesture of peace by grabbing Suarez's arm.

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 very publicly when he felt he should have had a free-kick when through [.

The Greater Manchester Police reportedly confiscated all copies of a Manchester United fanzine called Red Issue outside of Old Trafford ahead of the big handshake showdown (and football match) between Man United and Liverpool. The unofficial magazine was deemed "incitement to racial hatred" for including a cut-out of a KKK mask with the words "LFC" at the top and "Suarez is innocent" at the bottom in reference to Liverpool's steadfast defense of Luis Suarez even after he was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra and banned for eight matches.

Really poor behaviour by Luis Suarez in the Man United v Liverpool game. In the much anticipated pre-match handshake, Evra went to shake Suarez's hand but Suarez blanked him and continued down the line. Evra then reacted and tried grabbing hold of Suarez. Rio Ferdinand then ignored Suarez when he tried to shake his hand.

Any hope of the Manchester United v Liverpool match passing without the racism row blowing up again disappeared during the pre-match formalities when Luis Suarez refused to shake hands with Patrice Evra. Evra held his hand out for Suarez and, having been snubbed, grabbed at the Uruguayan in an attempt to enforce a handshake.

Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra will face each other on the field for the first time since the controversial racism charges against Suarez when Manchester United and Liverpool renew their rivalry in today's marquee match-up.

Suarez will be key to the Reds chances of knocking off Manchester United in a vital match-up for both teams.

Manchester United and Liverpool will again battle it out for the third time this season with United still reeling from their FA Cup exit to the Red's last month 2-1 at Anfield, however United have only lost twice in 33 home games as you can read below in our match facts for todays Battle of Britain.

Manchester United – Liverpool FC; the very thought of it strikes every chord of passion amongst either set of fans.

Here's a look at the weekend's biggest Premier League fixtures and the best bets to place this weekend.

Manchester United v Liverpool

All eyes will be on Old Trafford this weekend when arch rivals Man United and Liverpool face off in what promises to be a fiery encounter (12.

By JOHN BOSCHINI

Liverpool must be getting tired of Manchester.

Kenny Dalglish and Co. face off against a Manchester side for the seventh time this season when United and Liverpool clash in a match full of significance. Manchester United are trying to survive a brutal run of fixtures and keep pace with their cross-town rivals.

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.
