Finished Swans 2-2 Arsenal
Real Madrid took the lead after 2 minutes. Had a player sent off on 6 minutes. And conceded on 9 minutes. Busy start to the game!
Aaaand, Sturridge has scored a debut goal for Liverpool. Mansfield 0 - 1 Liverpool.

Sturridge could (and should) have a first-half hat-trick by now - knew he'd be a decent signing for Liverpool.
And he kissed his hand in celebration afterwards, he really is just devoid of any class.
I hate the guy as much as the next sane person but to be fair, that is how he always celebrates and it's not exactly his fault that the referee allowed the goal
He kisses a tattoo of his daughter's name I believe (who coincidentally is called Delfina, an anagram of Anfield)

Ah I hadn't seen it, that is his usual celebration that's true. If I was being picky i'd still say he shouldn't have kissed his hand and instead should have done something else.
If we won a game with a handball, we'd decide it was making up for past bad luck. I would prefer to stay up by scintillating football, but I could live with relegating QPR with a handball.
Like others have said, that is his usual celebration. But that goal was harsh on Mansfield, they deserved a trip to Anfield.
QPR should have been relegated last year-one of Stoke's goals vs Bolton was a foul on the keeper.
Suarez always celebrates like that but it was very clear deliberate handball and he is a cheat. The ball didn't strike him, it wasn't ball to hand like some are trying to claim.. he actually put his arm out to control it. I've seen players own up to the referee for this. Klose and Ebbers spring to mind. It's cheating and bad sportsmanship not to if you do it in the first place. Mansfield got robbed of a replay.
Defending Suarez is basically saying anyone can try to cheat in any scenario and that it's all about the referee to make the decision. Would be pretty **** if every player that wasn't on a yellow was trying to score hand of gods, control with their hand, dive, get others sent off acting etc etc because they knew the referee would ultimately get the blame. It would make refereeing much harder than it already is.

I wasn't fussed about the handball thats the officials job, I was on about the celebration which has since been cleared up for me
