If there were any question about who is the most polarizing figure in football at the moment, Luis Suarez answered them at Old Trafford on Saturday. In the span of some 90 minutes, the controversial Uruguayan refused to shake Patrice Evra's hand before the opening whistle, found himself at the center of a tunnel bust-up at halftime, petulantly kicked the ball into the stands on one occasion and toward the touchline past Evra on another, and scored an improbable goal in the 80th minute against the run of play. Before the game, the police confiscated thousands of copies of a United fanzine that contained a poor "joke" for fear that it would stir up further racial hatred. And after the final whistle blew, giving Manchester United a deserved 2-1 victory, Evra sprinted down the pitch to celebrate with the fans right in front of Suarez, causing another moment of tension between the two sides, all before Sir Alex Ferguson branded the striker a "disgrace."


Absolutely comical the twisting the media is giving the entire situation.

Agreed. And the saddest thing is how most of England is just taking what is spoon fed them by the media. I would bet anything that not one of the regular posters on this board would shake Evra's hand after what happened. I sure as hell wouldn't. It's not that big of a fricking deal. People are acting like Suarez punched him in the face as he passed.

Since when did everyone become such pussies? Who cares? I didn't care when Evra jumped around like a fricking idiot in front of Luis after the game. He had the right to. I think the only reason it's such a big deal is because the media is making a shite storm about it.

I hate to say it, but I think he may be gone by the summer, and it might be the best for the club. It's just a shame that it had to happen because everyone is such vaginas about something they shouldn't even spend a passing moment on. This entire this is over a hand shake. A HAND SHAKE. Everyone needs to grow some nuts and chill the frick out. It really isn't a big deal.
