Man Utd Thread:

Interesting views by Ferguson on advising Liverpool on how to handle a player who is a bit of a bad boy. He was quick to boot Cantona out of the club after he jumped into the crowd and kicked a fan on the chest, wasn't he? I can't help thinking that that was a worse incident than a failed handshake!

Good to see Hanson talk some sense on MOTD last night. 

Any chance of villa getting any sort of result today? Draw maybe?

The club was quick to ban Cantona for the rest of that season.

I've stayed off these threads for a long time but I have to nail that myth.

You do realise that United imposed a lengthy ban on Cantona for that action (which the FA initalliy agreed to but then added on a few months for good measure)? As often happens the facts go out the window when the truth is hard to face. What did Liverpool do to Suarez for racially abusing (it wasn't just a failed handshake and it is disingenuous in the extreme to suggest that's what it is all about) a fellow professional? They indulged him and he threw it back in their face, especially Dalglish's. To be fair, most Liverpool fans with an IQ above 75 see this.

Evra shouldn't have gloated that way and will probably get a ban for it (again note that Ferguson publicly said he shouldn't have done this). In the circumstances would you feel like doing the same if you had been racially abused and your handshake very publicly refused? His reaction was ill-judged but understandable. Racist behaviour is not and should not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. Evra is no saint and I'd suspect he is a pain in the hole to play against but his carry on pales into insignificance to that of Suarez.

It was and it was in marked contrast to the unadulterated rubbish on RTE. Houghton I can understand but Giles was a huge disappointment. It looked like the usual "party line" job from the national broadcaster.

Villa are going well and city are not flying like there were earlier in the season so a chance of city not getting the 3 points.

couldn't agree more

What did Giles say?

[pintsofguinness]

Delighted for Evra. Great to see him celebrating.

Evra made himself look like a dick at the end which is a shame as he had been the bigger man from the start, even Fergie admitted he was wrong to do what he did.
Suarez should have just shook his hand and let that be it, I think he actually is to blame for Liverpool losing or at least for Liverpool playing so poor today as it had to affect the rest of the players especially after the halftime incident which wouldn't have happened if Suarez had just shaken Evra's hand.
Some of the so called United fans on here are a disgrace btw.
Why can a poster get away with wishing a player breaks a leg and the like? If it was said about a GAA player they would be banned from the forum.

I don't know, why are posters getting away with wishing slow painful deaths on managers of teams 

Fergie is a class act, the ultimate WUM, the interview yesterday was excellent and it's some craic watching the liverpool fans with below average IQs (and there seems to be a lot) self imploding.

Lol, you guys sound just like Slur Alex.  Hansen good cause he spoke in favor of United, Giles bad cause he didn't back United.
Great to see such high IQ in this thread

Giles is only on the TV because he does and says controversial things, boys like you keep him there by sucking it up. Ironic that you should mention IQ.

Can we not just accept that both are  scum and move on?

For what it's worth Evra was the one bang out of order yesterday and Suarez previously. If Suarez gets banned for not shaking the hand of someone he doesn't like then the worlds away mad altogether! Evra deserves a ban then the whole thing should be forgotten.

[under the bar]

You have to laugh at the persistence of some Liverpool fans who suggest Evra is somehow equally to blame.

[BennyHarp]

Cantona was always going to get a lengthy ban after that incident so United banning him was pretty irrelevant as he was getting banned anyway. Ferguson is suggesting that Suarez is kicked out of the club - I'm just wondering would he apply the same standards to his better players! If I'm not mistaken he followed Cantona half way round the world to beg him to stay at the club - I dont think it entered his head to get rid. Again, what Cantona did was much much worse than Suarez not shaking a mans hand.

He isn't to blame but some of his actions yesterday were out of order and he done himself no favours.
