A bad boy image conjures up images of Best, birds and nightclubs, Greaves in the pub 'til 2.50pm on a Saturday, Balotelli crashing his Lambo etc. I'm not sure a propensity to bite opponents in quite so marketable - not with people anyway; dogs, sharks etc perhaps.
A hack from the New Statesman has crunched the numbers. You've more chance to be bitten by Suarez than a shark. http://www.joe.ie/football/football...ely-to-be-bitten-by-luis-suarez-than-a-shark/
What annoys me most is how cowardly the bites are... little nips before he dives. Completely ambivalent to him going for a good price, much like I was during last summer's saga. He has lost a lot of the goodwill his goals banked him this season. Luckily we're better placed to lose him now.
Bite hard or go home If you aren't drawing blood you're doing it wrong. Maybe he needs to ditch the psychologist and give Tyson a call
Chiellini is an ugly git anyway. I'm not sure having one and a half ears would improve his looks much!
Heard a rumour of a 4 month ban from all football. Not sure if that starts now. If so, then a bit like last season then.
9 game international ban and a four month ban from all football. I'm hoping the four month ban starts from the season opener and not right now, otherwise he'll have served about six or seven weeks already.
FIFA have said he's out the WC regardless. So if he appeals he'll just miss longer for Liverpool. DO IT!
Yep four months,no more world cup for him,not long enough!!,Carragher says it's unfair to punish Liverpool,it's Suarez not pool being punished,he just play's for pool,tough!
Its totally fair. I thought Liverpool were meant to be rehabilitating him after the last time, they failed.
He'll appeal, join Real Madrid, get the ban reduced and miss the close season. I'm actually pretty surprised that he's had his club games brought into it. That's normally only for drugs offences or transfer breaks.
FIFA might be a bunch of corrupt arseholes but they've shown real backbone in punishing Suarez. When he joined Liverpool he was serving a ban and the FA didn't uphold it. I actually thought Suarez's ban for 10 games after biting Ivanovic was harsh but no less than he deserved for all the assaults and diving he did get away with. FIFA have now shown how it's done. Suarez has always denied it when he's clearly in the wrong and even this time, when he was caught so blatantly, he denied it and tried to switch the focus away from himself. It doesn't matter how many apologies he gives when he knows he's in trouble, or how many times he goes through anger management ttherapy and claims to be reformed, he will always be a cheat. It makes me laugh that people think he's got an anger problem, that's almost certainly not it because every time he's done something wrong he then rolls around pretending to have been injured. He's trying to con the ref and he's trying to get a reaction out of the defender so they get sent off. He's not angry these are just attempts to win the game through cheating and who can blame him for thinking that's fine, he's allowed to do it week in week out in the Premier League, whether it's diving, feigning injury or trying to provoke a player into getting sent off. Even when he gets caught and banned he gets forgiven. The sooner he's booted out and left to go play sunday league games in some obscure part of the World the better.
Barca and Madrid can go to town on this if they choose to. With a CL pot 3 ranking, the Poool CL campaign could be demolished before Suarez returns. Those clubs have the luxury of being CL KO stage shoo-ins.
Yeah, I think you might be right, YV. The Uruguayan reaction has been pretty ludicrous. Seems like Blatter's trying to let people see his hand in this though, as the fine is in Swiss Francs. He either had a bet on Italy or he's trying to get some of his people back on side.
The way the Uruguayans are going on - it's a conspiracy involving the English media, Italian players and Brazilian public - you'd think he was the sole survivor of a plane crash in the Andes who only survived for 72 days by eating the flesh of those who perished.
