Could be said of many teams if they'd had to play with 10 men. Where would United have finished in the league if Ronaldo's goals had been stripped out?

I don't know? Bottom?

In his record season? 5th, according to soccerbot.com.

To a certain extent, such a stat does have limited meaning, but it's not entirely pointless. The key thing is the ability to replace those goals if the player is unavailable. Even in that prolific season for United, Ronaldo accounted for less than 39% of their goals, compared to Suarez providing a shade over 57% of Liverpool's so far this year. In those terms, Liverpool are currently only behind Sunderland and Newcastle with their reliance on one goal source, and I would expect Pa Cisse to change that before too long.

Who cares?

Me, hence the question
Just seemed strange

Maybe they wanted to get back on with the game as they thought they could win it? Just a thought.

mmmmmm, could be.

No, they went to Carragher and Gerrard. No one likes the Suaz, not even his teammates. He's a grub.

From all accounts Suarez's team mates seem to love him. I've read interviews, stories from the press and so on and he seems as popular a figure as any at the club.

The only problem between Suarez and his team mates is the gulf in ability. People can't stand him but he's a truly brilliant player, if he had better team mates he'd be so much better as well IMO.

He's no Phil Neville that's for sure.

you saying Phil Neville

doesn't bite opposition players?


trys finishing opposition players career's then feign injury himself?


pull hair?


or the holy trinity, stamp, dive, simulate injury all in one combo?

And then he went and pulled his own hair. I'm sure he bit his lip too.

Quality!

Peter Herbert is nothing more than a sanctimonious, self-promoting, chip-on-shoulder racist nitwit. Twice i've heard him interviewed on TalkSport in the past month, he's not done himself any favours, including saying a white players union would be akin to the BNP He is poison, pure and simple, and the sooner his name disappears from the footballing circus the better.

He also threatened to report Spurs to the Met Police if they didn't take action to stop their fans saying the word 'Yid' in chants.
