Can we play Three Lions in 29 pages time?

[Corazon de Leon]

The Lightning Seeds? Of course!

[Cuttooth]

Was there a Euro 2000 version too?

[Cuttooth]

We should play it every page tbh.

There was a World Cup 1998 version.

Urgh The "Black Country" derby, which isn't because Wolverhampton isn't actually in the Black Country.

Hopefully they both lose somehow.

Luis Suarez: I'm sorry

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has today issued the following apology:

"I have spoken with the Manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong.

"I've not only let him down, but also the Club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened.

"I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I want to apologise for my actions.

"I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football."

Now we can move on and forget about this ridiculous affair.

[Corazon de Leon]

Ah gooseberry fool. Could do with WBA winning by two today.

West Brom well on top but a great goal by Fletcher. Wolves just could not handle the front 3 of West Brom. The goal at the end of the half sets this up lovely. Ref is doing well too, letting the game flow.

Right Suarez has apologised. Lets all get over it now.

Nah the media will still run with it.

Dalglish has had a word with him I think, if he has told him that he would shake evras hand and then didn't then he has stitched the manager up.

How are west brom winning by about 5 more goals

Apparently the owners stepped in and gave him a bollocking.

Aye he said that he would before the game, then changed his mind moments before.
Hopefully it can all blow over now and he can concentrate on his football

Liverpool Managing Director Ian Ayre has today released the following statement.

"We are extremely disappointed Luis Suarez did not shake hands with Patrice Evra before yesterday's game. The player had told us beforehand that he would, but then chose not to do so.

"He was wrong to mislead us and wrong not to offer his hand to Patrice Evra. He has not only let himself down, but also Kenny Dalglish, his teammates and the Club. It has been made absolutely clear to Luis Suarez that his behaviour was not acceptable.

"Luis Suarez has now apologised for his actions which was the right thing to do. However, all of us have a duty to behave in a responsible manner and we hope that he now understands what is expected of anyone representing Liverpool Football Club."

This pleases me.


The apology also kills off any debate about whether or not Suarez was wrong to snub Evra. He plainly was.
