This entirely comes down to the linesmen and the 4th official. They can either tell the truth or protect their bumboy clattenburg. Given the ear bashing Torres gave the 4th official, I can't see him testifying.... I've always thought Battenburg looks like a smug prick, hopefully the linos didn't like him.

Thankfully, an Evertonian has shared pictures of Steven Gerrard running the length of the pitch and falling to his knees to celebrate after Suarez's disallowed goal. That's enough to cheer me up from anything. https://twitter.com/...2/photo/1/large Edit: 'In the know' Ian McGarry has just tweeted that Mikel is saying Battenburg called him a monkey. In other words, he definitely didn't call Mikel a monkey.

Either way, it's acceptable in Durham.

According to the daily fail, he called Mata a "Spanish twat".

Clatters, you're f**ked mate. Wave byebye to your career

Yep, horrible if our players have been abused by an official who is supposed to be impartial, however it would be extremely interesting to see how the FA were to deal with a racism case against a Chelsea player. One big mess.

To be honest, the more I read about this, the more I think it's just sour grapes. Unless it's racism or extremely offensive, it's not really worth mentioning. If it's just "f**k off" or something similar, it's an overreaction.

Nothing will happen. The FA will back him all the way and punish Chelsea for something or other. It's just the way it works.

If he does, my mind will implode. It can't take any more. He's spot on though.

Not sure who I would give CFC MOTM. Everyone put a shift in, were dominating with 10 men. Credit where credit is due, Fergie took a risk resting Webb and selecting Twattenburg, paid off, kudos. On a serious note, Fergie did give credit to the CFC fans who were superb.

We'll call it £25, I will message you my address now. Thanks. Edit: Actually, think that's on the paypal payment isn't it?

This is very depressing thread. Didn't know some of our fans were so stupid. Luiz could have done better for both goals, but Hazard takes full responsibility for the second goal and the whole defence could have done better for the first. Probably the same idiots that were calling for Mikel's head (literally) after the Juve game. Might as well just sack Di Matteo because he's doing such a sh*t job and then protest to Abramovic because he's not giving us any money.

Okie Dokie, Whats the total cost? Including P&P?

Yep Cech was excellent, few decent performances but nothing special by any means. Luiz and Torres were particularly poor. Would also like to see more of Cahill, very rarely has a bad game.

Torres is doing fine, but every game I find myself thinking "imagine if we had Falcao" etc. It's not so much the missing chances that gets on my tits, it's the stopping, turning around and looking for a pass, instead of bursting through and getting a shot away. The 4th at Spuds summed it up. Stood on his heels, not sure where to go whereas Sturridge was desperate to score, so he did. Let's hope the Falcao speculation helps him take his performances to the next level.

If you've still got any, I'll take one. How do I pay? Site donation or straight through paypal? Cheers.

Yes Rami, Mikel and a few others played very well but come on, you can't exactly vote for them in this.. only Juan contender for MOTM.

Yep one big fat corrupt, f**ked up witchhunt. All we have learnt from this whole saga is that the FA is the press's bitch. The press shouts sh*t, the FA jumps on the shovel.

I will be extremely pissed off if he does lose the captaincy. That would just be the club giving in to the press. And also, do people like Garth Crooks, Jason Roberts & that Aberdeen goalie (who is so sh*t I can't remember his name) really think that acting like attention seeking arseholes helps racism? I might be completely out of line, but it's getting to the point where they are using the colour of their skin to gain the moral high ground. If they really want to help why don't they do what everyone else is trying to do, and move past this whole thing. They don't seem to realise that by coming out and giving their pointless opinion AGAIN, they are just dragging it on, and keeping racism in the news. "How do we stop racism?" "Stop talking about it" Morgan Freeman....... Mini-rant over.

Think it was a penalty actually. Against a Liberian goalie, I'm not sure that counts. Ah well, it's all leading up to a thunderbolt at 3 point lane in the next game.

I'm going to guess left wing. That or in goal.

JOHN OBI MIKEL HAS SCORED FOR NIGERIA TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like someones had a bad experience on tele?

Here's some comments from youtube from that video.... "IF 90 PERCENT OF THESE ARE NOT FOULS, THIS LEAGUE IS BROKEN. PLEASE PROTECT THIS PLAYER FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME." "Luis Suarez, please leave the Premier League NOW! go any where! I don't care wich league. I want to see a player like you more often and I think your are going to get badly injured :( if you stayed in England." "This is appalling. I have seen the blatant fowl at Norwich before - but I did not know the level of disgraceful fouls against one man. One comment suggested this be shown to BR, another says BR must protect this talent at all costs. I agree with both. Staggering that Suarez is now the bad boy of diving. That's right, diving's never happened till Suarez came here, has it ? Makes me sick !" "Be treated differently. This league is bent, or broken, doesn't matter but look at the issues...a dwindling CL force, a national team that is a laughing stock, and an FA that allows black players to tweet or say anything they like and not get punished. The persecution of Liverpool FC continues. Still the biggest club in the country, and everything that's gone on recently just proves it. You envy us, you envy us, you jealous f**king knuckle draggers, we're massive." (My personal favourite) "I am actually showing this to my kids to teach them about a very real form of systematic discrimination. We're seeing it week in and week out in a 1st world country. Shocking." and from the same chap:- "MoStar , thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. This should be sent to Brendan Rodgers personally on a disk. I mean this." "This video makes me think we're going to end up losing him to a serious injury. The tackles that are flying in on him are reckless and dangerous. Skilful players need to be protected. When Ronaldo was in the EPL he was not left to be aggressively bullied and assaulted out of games." "FA = Fergie Association" "The media and the FA should be ashamed of themselves for their witch hunt against Suarez. If he signed for United he would get penalties every single match." "Send this to the FA.. f**kin outrageous.." "it was so bad tackles on suarez but he didn't get the justice. and even opponent player didn't get a book..go to hell FA" "a foul is a foul, and some of these are f**king brutal." "Justice for suarez" "How about THE REASON he goes down so easily is that he is NEVER given calls. Whether he goes down or not he is not getting the call. Thats corrupt officiating and is unacceptable." "Come here and let me piss down your throat and jump on your face." I love and feel sorry for Liverpool fans. Idiots.
