The DEFINITIVE English football banter thread

[Steve Austin]

I hate the guy, but Suarez is quality.

God knows where Liverpool would be without him.

Same place as Utd without RVP.

Suarez is more important to Liverpool than RVP is to United.

[THE HEARTBREAK KID]

Well played Swansea, play a weakened side and almost beat Arsenal.

Yep, they did well to comeback at the end too.

Once Arsenal scored I could them scoring another.

Also it's obvious Suarez is going to keep getting bad press, lets be honest.. he made his bed and now he has to lie in it. But he's also going to get stick and bad press that he does not deserve while people like Bale get away with it.

Bale's dives have been some of the worst I have seen TBH.

No chance mate.. and you know it.

Plenty of games would of been lost without eithers goals, no doubt we don't have the quality back up but most of RVP's goals wouldn't of been scored by someone else.

The Goal:

Alexander Shahbazi on Twitter: "If a player is offside, and the referee misses it and the player scores, is it not the same? Lay off Suarez, ref's fault."

Listen mate, I don't know who you think you are but copying and pasting from BBC text is my thing.

I guess what I'm saying is, that Liverpool would be closer to relegation while United would be closer to mid table without Suarez and RVP in each respective team.
So I don't think they'd be in the same place as you originally said.

20 goals that have single handedly won you points, think about it.

If it's deliberate give him all the stick you want like with any other player, although Suarez gets it worse.

Or Cazorla, Ridgewell, Young, Bale, the list goes on...

Yeah that's fine, but you can't say we rely on him like you do with Suarez.

We could put out a second squad in the league and finish above most teams, could Liverpool do that? That says it all.

Yeah the British Press deplore racism but don't mind doling out great swathes of xenophobia when it comes to Suarez.
