Quite amazed by this. Little he could do with fouling Bergkamp. A world class Argentine defender suffered the same fate as Elliott at the World Cup with Bergkamp's subtle touch.

Re the Newcastle goal, he seems to try to take it the other way around the defender. He got lucky but still great awareness to react and slot it into the net.

Here's the wrold cup goal

The interview I read with him reckoned otherwise. He said it was a fluke but he need Dabizas was approaching, so he had to make a touch. What he said was lucky was the spin of the ball etc. went with him.

The sound is way out of time with the pictures, but he does say here that it's what he meant to do:

I see Elmander won. Great goal, but PL's best goal ever? Not in a million years.

Here it is (TURN OFF THE SOUND):

Great commentary. Does anyone know who scored that goal? ;)


It doesn't count since it's not a Premier League goal, but that's my all time favourite goal. That Newcastle one and the one against us were two of the first I looked for, and the Newcastle one does it for me. I miss Bergkamp, he's my favourite player I've ever seen (not Leicester at least).



I think Bolton fans just hijacked the poll and that's why Elmander one. Good goal, but not the best.

Bolton winning 2-0 away to Blackburn. How much longer can Steve Kean last? This has to be it, surely?
 
Yakubu hat-trick to save the day?
 
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle thinks the decision is "100% correct".

He told 5 live: "There are definitely cultural differences for a lot of players coming from South America and from the continent into England.

"But even though those differences do exist, we still expect people who come and work here to adhere to the standards and the laws of this land.

"It's wholly acceptable in parts of the Middle East to chop off the hands of thieves but we wouldn't tolerate it here and it's just the same when it comes to racism."

No, Clarke, you ****ing moron. No.

Using a word that is commonplace and acceptable in your mother tongue in your homeland is not remotely like cutting off a limb as a form of punishment in parts of the Middle East.

You ****ing moron.
 
I think the eight game ban and the fine are punishment enough... chopping off Suarez's hands would seem harsh. Although it would stop him sticking his middle finger up (allegedly - despite there being photos) at fans.

Did anyone see Liverpool's official statement on their OS? :icon_lol:

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/liverpool-fc-statement-20-12-11

iverpool Football Club is very surprised and disappointed with the decision of the Football Association Commission to find Luis Suarez guilty of the charges against him.

We look forward to the publication of the Commission’s Judgment. We will study the detailed reasons of the Commission once they become available, but reserve our right to appeal or take any other course of action we feel appropriate with regards to this situation.
We find it extraordinary that Luis can be found guilty on the word of Patrice Evra alone when no-one else on the field of play – including Evra’s own Manchester United teammates and all the match officials – heard the alleged conversation between the two players in a crowded Kop goalmouth while a corner kick was about to be taken.

The Club takes extremely seriously the fight against all forms of discrimination and has a long and successful track record in work relating to anti-racist activity and social inclusion. We remain committed to this ideal and equality for all, irrespective of a person’s background.

LFC considers racism in any form to be unacceptable – without compromise. It is our strong held belief, having gone over the facts of the case, that Luis Suarez did not commit any racist act. It is also our opinion that the accusation by this particular player was not credible – certainly no more credible than his prior unfounded accusations.

It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said ‘I don’t think that Luis Suarez is racist’. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.

Luis himself is of a mixed race family background as his grandfather was black. He has been personally involved since the 2010 World Cup in a charitable project which uses sport to encourage solidarity amongst people of different backgrounds with the central theme that the colour of a person’s skin does not matter; they can all play together as a team.

He has played with black players and mixed with their families whilst with the Uruguay national side and was Captain at Ajax Amsterdam of a team with a proud multi-cultural profile, many of whom became good friends.

It seems incredible to us that a player of mixed heritage should be accused and found guilty in the way he has based on the evidence presented. We do not recognise the way in which Luis Suarez has been characterised.

It appears to us that the FA were determined to bring charges against Luis Suarez, even before interviewing him at the beginning of November. Nothing we have heard in the course of the hearing has changed our view that Luis Suarez is innocent of the charges brought against him and we will provide Luis with whatever support he now needs to clear his name.

We would also like to know when the FA intend to charge Patrice Evra with making abusive remarks to an opponent after he admitted himself in his evidence to insulting Luis Suarez in Spanish in the most objectionable of terms. Luis, to his credit, actually told the FA he had not heard the insult.
