Enjoyed berba's "keep calm and pass me the ball" t-shirt, think he's one of only a few players who get away with it.

The thing is Suarez fell. Stoke players were so used to holding and shirt-pulling their opponents, even Fellaini was given similar treatment before that head-butt.

100% agree. I'll admit I had a gut feeling we might feel a backlash, but after the first 10mins you could see that wasnt happening,it was just a case of could we find an opening, which after 45mins, was beginning to worry me.
I tipped them to go down back in October and still havent changed my mind. Have they won at Anfield could be the biggest mystery of the season.
Bizarrely they could repeat their arch-rivals from a few seasons back. They could win the League Cup and get relegated in the same season, although right now Bradford City will fancy their chances in the semis

Exactly how I felt, Suarez is very clever to utilise the situation to his advantage.
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ts-brendan-rodgers-back-in-limbo-8431670.html
It took him only 35 seconds to wriggle out of the grasp of Ryan Shawcross, who could get no closer than clutching at his shirt. The way Suarez then fell forward onto to the turf looked like simulation – he was being pulled by Shawcross, not pushed – but there really could be no complaints.

Suarez makes a habit these. There was another bad one recently (I forget the game but it was around the time of Adebayor's red).
On the penalty, the stated interpretation makes sense. There is holding outside the box but the referee plays advantage. The holding continues and the referee still plays advantage. Suarez goes down while still being help and now the referee calls the foul.
Suarez should be booked for simulation or awarded a Nobel prize for disproving Einstein's concept of symmetry of universal laws (gravity behaving differently in the penalty area).
This leg breaker not even shown by MOTD.

RAWK fact ->
Rodgers record is exactly the same as Hodgsons during his 31 game campaign in charge of us:
Hodgson - P31 W13 D9 L9 F41 A33 GD+8 - Net Transfer Spend - Recouped £2.2mill
Rodgers - P31 W13 D9 L9 F48 A40 GD+8 - Net Transfer Spend - Spent £16.4mill

Still haven't heard big mouth Joe Hart claim responsiblity this season for any of the 8-10 clangers he's dropped this season. For a player who's so forthright and honest in interviews, he's not keen on being critical of his own performances.

Me too. It does my head in when players and manager moan about it. Let's face it, they are very well compensated for it. Maybe a middle ground could be found where you have a break for 10 days or so after boxing day fixture.

Its harsh to say it does your head as lets not forget footballers are humans and they have families and friends and they should have time to spend with them. Im just selfish, like you, and most other football fans. Christmas without football is like christmas without turkey etc.
