a liverpool statement said: "we find it extraordinary that luis can be found guilty on the word of patrice evra alone.
"no one else on the field of play - including evra's own manchester united team-mates and all the match officials - heard the alleged conversation between the two players in a crowded kop goalmouth.

what i find extraordinary about this statement is do they expect a pool corner at the kop end v united to be a nice quiet place to listen to conversations, thats right, a quiet conversation between 2 people, i.e. Not yelling at the top of their voice? Would it be too much of a stretch of the imagination, that the players around them were actually concentrating on defending/attacking the corner?
they would hardly miss it if he said it ten times as claimed by evra
