Which team/player is this directed at?

To the boo'ed one the one that messed up and left Kuyt alone so he could score and make Suarez celebrate a lot.

Yes, booing the player who was found by an independent panel to have been racially abused by one of their players, terrific reflection on themselves and their club :roll:

Evra didn't deserve to be booed, and I think you need to look up the word "karma".

I'm happy they are moving on.

Yup. There were United fans who brought Istanbul banners to Elland Road this season. It just means that there are bunch of idiots supporting every team.

Oh, no doubt, every team has it's share of morons. Similarly there were reports yesterday of some United fans responding with chants about Hilsborough, which is equally disturbing. You've got the situation with QPR and the bullet/pellet.

Also, LittleOzzy, what do you mean by "moving on"? Pretty much every Liverpool fan in attendance yesterday booed Evra, and chanted "lying bastard" at him. Not really suggested of moving on.

I'm guessing most of the fans didn't believe he was racially abused. Liverpool made it very clear that they believed Suarez was innocent.
The tweets are annoying. There are a lot of stupid people in the world.
Oh and Suarez 2nd game back is at United. I wonder how the fans will respond to him?
Good game though.

Whether they believe it or not, Suarez was found guilty by an independent panel, and booing Evra just keeps the can of worms open.

Re: the tweets, they go far beyond annoying. Scroll down this twitter feed to yesterday lunchtime while the game was on, he retweets a small selection of some of the stuff being tweeted yesterday in order to "name and shame": https://twitter.com/#!/jamesjammcmahon

That's not "annoying", it's disgusting. There's too much apathy to what is written on the internet.

As for Suarez' return, I imagine the United fans at the game are going to give him lots of stick, too, and perpetuate this whole thing. Sadly, this probably won't all be put to bed until both players have moved on from their current clubs. There will always be portions of uber-hardcore, moron fans who can never just let it drop and will boo and abuse either player. It's just sad that the "passion" for ones football club can turn people into idiots who would do and say things they would never dream of doing in every day life.

Walcott's not very good, is he?

2-0. Good counter attack and great finish by Bent.

Looks like another trophy-less season for Arsenal. I wonder if this will be Wenger's last season. The mood is definitely different this time.

It's kind of baffling - all the physical and technical ability seems to be in place, but the final product is often poor. It says something that Ox looks more of a threat when he gets the ball, after only a handful of top flight games.

Can't blame the fans for losing patience. It's been 7 years of "next season". As one of my Arsenal-supporting friends sarcastically tweeted last year, "Oh yay, Arsenal posted strong financial results again!".

How does that not earn Dunne a second booking?

Most people seem to think it's a mental thing, over thinks things and messes up. Left-beacks seem to have figured out that if you guide him outside he'll generally just dribble the ball out of bounds.

No idea, he should be off IMO. If he hadn't already been booked, I bet the ref gets his cards out.

Game on! 2-2

Villa does the finishing for Walcott

Another stupid unnecessary tackle.

MitchellUK · Post #55 » by **MitchellUK** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 5:21 pm

Thought that was harsh when seeing it live, but Bent didn't get the ball, the other Villa player did. 3-2, crikey!

By moving on I was simply talking about the next round.

I am happy Liverpool won.

Ah, sorry, thought you were talking about the fan base.

I'm not trying to say its right I'm just saying that if you truly believe what Liverpool is saying then I understand it. They said the process was flawed and it never gave Suarez a chance. They said Evra lied. To a Liverpool fan that means that Evra was mad and got one of Liverpools best players suspended for something that never happened.

I did read the tweets and they are disgusting. Stupid fans ruining a great game.
