Evra's hand moved back and to the left. Back. And to the left. Theres no way that happens naturally. No way that happens if you're only dealing with Suarez in front of him. Which can only mean one thing: There was a second man behind the grassy knoll. And the FA don't want you to know about it...

The footballing world in its entirety knows what happened before and after the clash between Manchester United and Liverpool yesterday. YouTube is a wonderful thing, isn't it? So there's not much point repeating what happened, but in the aftermath of yesterday's events, debates have sprung up, as they usually do, on Facebook status updates, newspaper websites, and pretty much every space of internet brave enough to host a comments section.

- Adebayor has more assists (10) than any other striker in the league.

- Rooney has more shots per game (4.7) than any other player in the league, followed by van Persie (4.6) then Suarez (4.3).

- Van Persie is the best striker on home turf (13), followed by Augero (11) then Rooney (9).

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.

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 [.

Time to upgrade his statue to silver

If you're a Arsenal fan today, you'll be buzzing. Nothing beats coming from behind and winning by scoring in the final minute of the game. Especially when it's an away game and we weren't firing on all cylinders. Especially when the winning goal was scored by one of the club's greatest ever player.

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.

Merely 'celebrating with his own fans' or goading Liverpool and Suarez as they/he made his way down the tunnel? Make your own minds up what Paddy was playing at come the final whistle.

I'm pretty sure I know what he had in mind.

Manchester United – Liverpool FC; the very thought of it strikes every chord of passion amongst either set of fans. This particular derby has often failed to exhibit the mesmerising displays of copacetic football expected by the neutrals across the globe. The contest which is often decided by individual bravura is widely described as ‘pixelated' around the world.

Another huge weekend as the race at the top tightens and the England managerial role remains vacant. Let's focus on club over country for now, though, and preview this week's best potential fantasy performers... I. Liverpool @ Manchester United: Huge. ... Continue reading →

Some players want to leave, Arsenal will be going places this summer, the English NT is filled with jerks... your usual cup of Arse here at the Offside

We start today's blog with a subject Arsenal fans are always delighted to hear about: player departures. Park Chu-Young has indicated that if keeps getting ignored for play action, he might leave in the summer.

We have seen how Liverpool suffered this season without any pace and creativity from midfield. Dalglish's preferred midfield foursome of Downing, Adam, Gerrard and Lucas will pass the ball to death but neither is comfortable to run with the ball.
Against teams that park the bus, especially teams that come to Anfield, the lack of unpredictability in the Liverpool play has caused the mighty Reds dearly.

Controversy is seemingly never far away when it comes to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, and during the recent Spurs game, he was booked for a dangerous kick on Scott Parker. After the game, Man United thug Wayne Rooted tweeted that Suarez should've been sent off, and I'm sure there are people out there that share that view.

Luis Suarez's return to action against Spurs last night was not enough to inspire Liverpool to victory, but once again, the Uruguayan sparked a major talking point. This time, Suarez kicked Scott Parker when trying to get the ball, and received a yellow card for his trouble. Any fair-minded person can see that it was clearly accidental, but as all Liverpool fans know, Manchester United thug

Luis Suarez is back for Liverpool, and most fans will be hoping that he goes straight back into the starting line-up to face Spurs tonight. Is that going to happen though? Liverpool are in a great run of form, and is breaking up a winning team the best thing to do at this stage? For Liverpool legend Steve Nicol, it's not even up for debate: Suarez must start.

Over the weekend, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish publicly praised returning striker Luis Suarez, gushing that he is 'loved and revered' at Anfield. Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher aside, the last non-Liverpudlian player to receive such acclaim and adulation was (arguably) Fernando Torres, but legend Alan Hansen believes that Suarez has now eclipsed the Spaniard's popularity.

The Return of Luis Suárez - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Ahead of the Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur match on Monday night, we look at the return of Luis Suárez and how Liverpool have fared in the Premier League in his absence.

Luis Suárez returns to the Liverpool squad for Monday night's game at home to Tottenham Hotspur following a much publicised eight-game suspension.

With the return of Luis Suarez to the Liverpool on Monday night, having served his mammoth ban from football, reports are that Manager Kenny Dalglish will opt to unleash the talismatic Uraguyan striker from the bench.
Monday night's game from Anfield will see Liverpool pit their wits against 3rd-placed Spurs who are something like 12 points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League.

Dalglish would relish a win on Saturday...The FA Cup has brought Liverpool a massive clash on Saturday as Manchester United make the short trip to Anfield. This is the first meeting between the two sides since the Suarez and Evra case, here's hoping both sets of fans act responsibly, focus on the football and provide a fantastic atmosphere.

Sacha Kljestan took his regular place in the starting eleven for Anderlecht on Tuesday, in a 3-1 win over Gent at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium. Their lead at the top of the SAS-Ligaen table is now nine points. After falling behind seven minutes in, Milan Jovanovic scored twice for Anderlecht, with Matias Suarez adding the third goal.

Former Newcastle and West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop believes that Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe would be the perfect strike-partner for Luis Suarez, but expects Liverpool to have a tough time convincing Harry Redknapp to let him go. Analysing Liverpool's goalscoring problems on ESPN yesterday, Hislop enthused:"I think Jermain Defoe would make a fantastic partner for Suarez when he comes back.

While I still think overall Liverpool have played some good pass and move football this season. Our main issue is we just don't have a clinical finisher, that player who will score 25+ goals in a season.

£35 million really should have bought us the perfect player for this position. But Carroll is really under porforming and just looks out of place at the moment.

I wish I could furnish you today with news of multiple transfers, but alas I live in the real world. There is very little out there to report.
Looking through this list on Football 365, you realise that we're not alone. There is very little movement happening anywhere in the prem, even at Man City.

The Anderlecht striker Matias Suarez is trying hard to cloak the fact that he has signed a pre-contract with Arsenal to play at the Emirates next season, and is busy denying that he will be moving to Arsenal in January but he makes it quite clear that he will be doing his best for Anderlecht [...]

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is currently kicking his heels on the sidelines as he serves his 8-match ban, but whilst he's out, he will have plenty of opportunities to watch Steven Gerrard in action, a player he described yesterday as a 'fantastic player'. Speaking to Goal.com, Suarez was full of praise for Liverpool's captain, who has now scored three goals in his last three games:"Steven is a

Luis Suarez and Lucas Leiva couldn't take part in Liverpool's hard-fought victory Carling Cup over Manchester City at the Etihad stadium last night, but both players watched the game, and were full of praise for the efforts of their team-mates. Prior to the game, Suarez - who is currently serving an 8-match ban - sent his best wishes to the team via twitter:"All the luck in the world for my

When it comes to blunt, outspoken support for Liverpool's Luis Suarez, Brighton manager and fellow Uruguayan Gustavo Poyet has been El Pistolero's most passionate advocate, but he may be about to pay for publicly criticising English football's alleged Governing body.After Suarez was banned for 8 games, Poyet rubbished the decision and called it 'Incredible, shocking and disproportionate', and it

Now that the transfer window is open, I thought it was time to take a quick look at how Premier League clubs have been performing on various dimensions. Let's start with offense for today. Which clubs have been doing exceptionally well, and which ones seem to need some help, perhaps by finding a player or two?

Last week, Liverpool FC begrudgingly accepted Luis Suarez's 8 match ban for using 'insulting words which included a reference to Patrice Evra's colour', and many fans will be hoping that this means an end to the club's (arguably) misguided public announcements on the issue. However, Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has revealed that the club is still 'very unhappy', and may pursue the issue in the

Liverpool have been drawn to play Manchester United in the FA Cup on the weekend of the 28-29th of January.

This match promises to be an intense battle and it will be interesting to see what kind of response Patrice Evra receives from the Liverpool Fans and players. As it will be the first time the two teams meet since the October 15 show down when Patrice Evra accused Luis Suarez of racially abusing him.

Porto's Alvaro Pereira has warned Manchester United defender Patrice Evra that he will be a marked man when France play Uruguay in a friendly later in the year.Pereira, who plays alongside Luis Suarez in the Uruguay national team, recently accused Evra of having an 'inferiority complex'; now, he's made it clear that the left-back will have to watch his back in what is primed to be an

A few weeks ago, this site exclusively revealed the close links between Denis Smith - a member the Suarez-Evra 'Independent' Regulatory Commission (IRC) - and Manchester United, specifically his ties to Darren Ferguson. Despite the obvious potential for subconscious bias, Liverpool's Solicitor did not request Smith's removal from the panel.

Anfield Rd: The FA respond to some questions

AN EMAIL was sent to The FA following on from the publication of their independent panel's report into the verdict in the Suarez-Evra case. It's taken them a few days but they have now replied. On reading the email it's apparent that they received more than one email on the issue – their response includes answers to questions we hadn't even asked.

In this week's review of the footballing action, we congratulate Manchester City, wonder how long Ronaldo will be out after picking up a nasty illness and spotlight Liverpool's controversial defence of their banned Uruguayan striker, Suarez.
