The FA Cup Draw gave us a one in three and a half thousand chance that the Racism Derbies
(Liverpool v Man Utd and QPR v Chelsea) would be sequelled.
Amidst massive extra police costs and abundant blurtings of racism, the two teams associated with
racist behaviour won via a dubious penalty and through one of the victims of racism making the
mistake that produced the winner having been under intense racist and/or verbal abuse throughout
the previous couple of hours.
Merseyside Police have confirmed that they are currently investigating the alleged verbal abuse of
Oldham's Tom Adeyemi at Anfield last night. Based on the comments of Latics captain Dean Furman -
who described the incident as a 'disgrace' - it looks increasingly like Adeyemi may have been on
the receiving end of racial abuse.
Just what is 'verbal abuse'? It must be relative, as the line drawn in some areas is much
different than, say, the one in the United Arab Emirates.
Diego. He's less than the ideal role model off the pitch. And now he's been fined for calling an
opposing coach 'quite rude', which would probably qualify as the nicest thing said in a Premiership
press conference this week.
So Luis Suarez is working himself into a nice little pattern of nabbing ginormous suspensions in
the meaty part of the domestic season. Before his move to Liverpool last year, he picked up seven
games for his primal attempts at a mid-game snack while playing for Ajax. This year, it's eight
games to sit in the corner and think about what he did.
Liverpool fans showed up at Stamford Bridge on Sunday wearing "Evra is a liar" t-shirts, which
stewards made them remove ahead of kick-off.
Despite Luis Suarez admitting he called Evra a name in Spanish and the FA charging the Liverpool
striker with directing racial verbal abuse at Evra, Liverpool fans have predictably rolled out
their usual hero worship for their player.

Coming just after Sepp Blatter's ridiculous remarks concerning racism in football, the FA have
finally decided to act on Luis Suarez' alleged verbal abuse of Patrice Evra during the Liverpool v
Manchester United at Anfield on October 15th.
Dear Juicy. Jennifer. Jen?
We realise that while your career trajectory is relatively flat and you must do all you can to
maintain momentum while you have it, but feel it might be in the best interests of your personal
health and safety (not to mention dignity) if you would refrain from attending bars in Liverpool
for the foreseeable future.
One of these people has scored over 200 goals in his club career. The other is Piers Morgan.

So far, we've managed to steer well clear of Piers Morgan and his moobs. It's unlike us, you
will agree, to swerve a saga that
boasts Twitter feuds, pectoral muscles (however flabby), verbal abuse above and beyond the call of
duty and Rio Ferdinand.
Yesterday, we posted the video of Joakim Noah using a homosexual slur. In the video, you can see
an irate Noah yell to a fan, "F You, F ". Well, the NBA didn't take kindly to those words. On
Monday, Noah was fined $50K for using a term the NBA called "Offensive" and "derogatory".
The center for the Chicago Bulls has apologized numerous times sine the incident.
