Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has played down the current form of one of his star
players in typical fashion, suggesting that goalkeeper Joe Hart still has ways to go before being
compared to the world's best.
Hart, 24, is having a brilliant stadium with the Premier League leaders and made a couple of
brilliant saves to ensure that City walk out of Villa Park with a vital 1-0 win yesterday.
Rumours of Jose Mourinho wanting to leave Real Madrid for the Premiership would mean only one
thing: he is heading for Manchester. Since his famous Champions League win with Porto in 2004,
Mourinho has had no desire to manage any side lacking truly world-class pedigree. For this very
reason, a return to a depleted Chelsea side is not on the cards.

You would not think that anything could overshadow a Manchester United-Liverpool game, but thanks
to Suarez and his antics everyone has seemingly forgotten that United won 2-1 thanks to a quickfire
Rooney double right after half time. The former Evertonian could have had himself a hat-trick had
the referee not disallowed his 30-yard effort for [.
I guess this is what happens when Suarez refuses to shake Evra's hand. Rooney comes out with a fire
lit under him and nets 2 in 3 minutes to seal a much needed win for the Red Devils. Suarez, for his
part, tries to keep the scoreline honest and puts one in late.Video: Fox Sports

Following yesterday's toxic encounter at Old Trafford, Luis Suarez has apologised for not shaking
Patrice Evra's hand, while Kenny Dalglish has admitted overreacting with his comments in the post
match interview. Liverpool's Suarez caused a storm by not shaking Evra's hand before kick off and
then petulantly kicking the ball in the stands as the [.

Ducky's Note: 'Neutral' Arsenal fan Swaroop is back after a long hiatus (and with some spare
time from his proper-journalism course at Newcastle) to look at whether a handshake is such a big
deal and while we condemn the racism, we shouldn't stoke the fire by blowing up every little act
remotely related to it.
From the official website:
"I have spoken with the manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong.
I've not only let him down, but also the Club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a
mistake and I regret what happened. I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I
want to apologise for my actions.
What an excellent day of football we all had yesterday, starting with the controversial
Manchester United, Liverpool match at Old Trafford , and a result that went our way with Liverpool
losing 2-1.
I am not so sure about all the Suarez, Evra hype though as it is obvious that there is bad blood
between the two of them, but to the credit of Evra he was willing to shake Suarez's hand before the
match, but Suarez refused.
Luis Suarez has issued an apology after refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand during Liverpool's
2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Suarez was roundly criticized for refusing to
shake the hand of Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during Saturday's match after both sides
had agreed before hand that they would do so.
This match was always going to be focused on the saga between Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra and
unfortunately things didn't get off to a very good start in a game which saw Liverpool lose
2-1.
Luis Suarez decided not to shake Patrice Evra's hand to which Evra reacted physically to by
attempting to pull Suarez's hand away from De Gea's.
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 [.

Remind me again why Henry left Arsenal? I am starting to think that were a match made in heaven.
The former Arsenal captain scored a late winner to help the Gunners secure a win that propelled
them into a top four spot.
It's only a shame that he won't be staying any longer than this week as his loan deal ends this
Wednesday.
Chelsea lost the chance to consolidate their fourth place position in the league yesterday after
they were humbled 2-0 by Everton at Goodison Park. Goals from Steven Pienaar and Denis
Stracqualursi condemned Villas-Boas to his 6 loss of the season and saw Arsenal overtake them into
4th place after a 2-1 away over Sunderland.

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.

Predictortron ii first week test scores:
Man Utd v Liverpool: predicted 1-0 or 2-1 actual 2-1
Blackburn v QPR: 1-2 actual 3-2
Bolton v Wigan: 1-0 or 2-1 actual 1-2
Everton v Chelsea: 1-1 actual 2-0
Fulham v Stoke: 1-1 or 2-1 actual 2-1
Sunderland v Arsenal: 1-1 (1-2 next) actual 1-2
Swansea v Norwich: 2-1 or 0-0 actual 2-3
Spurs v Newcastle: 1-1 actual 5-0
What do we think then?
King Kenny got his team selection and tactics wrong on Saturday afternoon against Man Utd.
He oped for a cautious, defensive line-up with Luis Suarez up-front as Kuyt lined up on the right
wing and youngsters Spearing and Henderson were in midfield, bizarrely at the expence of Charlie
Adam.

Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool Premier League 11th February 2012
The Evra/Suarez circus which preceeded the game before, once again, polluting the proceedings
throughout the 90 minutes and beyond, has already been well covered by Pies, so I'll focus on the
football.

Park Chu-Young is a proven goal scorer. However, he needs a hell of a long leg to score from the
bench, which is where he's been wasting away all season long for Arsenal. Chu-Young is getting fed
up of watching games instead of participating in them and according to his agent he's ready to
leave Emirates Stadium in the summer.
Wayne Rooney scored twice as Manchester United saw off Liverpool in a fiery encounter at Old
Trafford. The Liverpool born striker grabbed a brace early in the second half, to secure United
fourth consecutive home win in the league against their bitter rivals from the East Lancs Road.

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.

By 1970's Gooner We all crucified him. Some of us thought he was loosing the plot. He brought on
Arshavin against Man Utd and we lost that game. But he brought on Arshavin today and the little
Russian did in 15 or so minutes what he practically failed to do all season. He produced a
wonderful cross in between the central defenders for Henry to knock in at ease!

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.

Police have confirmed that the confiscated all of the copies of the United fanzine, Red Issue,
that were floating around outside Old Trafford today which featured cut-out 'Suarez Is Innocent' Ku
Klux Klan masks for United fans to hold in front of their faces to bait Liverpool as the teams
emerged from the tunnel.
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.
