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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Dalglish's apology is very intreresting and completely at odds with his stance to date. Obviously John Henry threatened him with the sack and Kenny has filled them and tugged his forelock.

The Worker · February 12, 2012, 09:23:09 PM

Giggs was awful yesterday, continuously give the ball away.

Yes, he and saurez have had their wings clipped big time. Good to see but no doubt they will let their employers down again soon enough.

Utd have handled this sorry affair very well.

Eh?? Evra jumping about like a dickhead and Ferguson calling for Suarez not to play for Liverpool again would seem to be at odds with that. Evra should have stood with the team as usual and clapped the fans. Ferguson should say Suare was out of order and hopefully the matter will be dealt with.

THAT would have been handling the sorry affair well. . . Liverpool will have lost a lot of support from others over this!! Everyone will still hate Utd regardless!!

Evra acted the tube at the end but anyone thinking that he deserves to be punished more for this than Suarez should for not shaking the hand is deluded. This has been as controversial an incident as there has been in the Premiership and the simple and logical thing to do would have been to shake his hand, which was obviously the instructions to both sets of players before hand.

I bet Sky are completely loving all this controversy.

England: Harry Redknapp wants Paul Scholes at Euro 2012
Harry Redknapp believes Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes should be included in England's Euro 2012 squad.

Interesting stat for the Johnny Evans bashers from BBC sport.

Manchester United have won 83% of the 18 games Evans has appeared in this season and just 43% of the seven he has missed.

The Worker · February 13, 2012, 06:53:11 PM

United can count themselves lucky evra wasnt charged for his behaviour post game.

Running that distance to celebrate in front of suarez could have easily started a melee. Im surprised the FA havnt acted on that.
