Patrice Evra will be on the receiving end of some abuse today but I’d like to think it won’t be racist abuse. Maybe I’m naive and I’m probably giving the vermin too much credit but I genuinely hope that Liverpool fans don’t turn their dislike of Evra, having been lead to believe that he’s a liar by the ridiculous propaganda from their club, in to something far more sinister.
However, if their fans do racially abuse Evra, the club have no one to blame but themselves, having whipped their fans in to a frenzy in order to keep Luis Suarez, their prize asset, protected.
Whilst Andre Villas-Boas made the dreadful mistake of claiming he would still give John Terry his full support even if he was found guilty of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, Chelsea, for the most part, have kept quiet. In contrast, Liverpool have stirred the situation, before and after their player was found guilty of racially abusing Evra. The siege mentality they have developed over this case is an embarrassment, with them genuinely believing that they are the victims in this situation, for a change.
Who on earth came up with the idea of wearing t-shirts in support of a player accused of racial abuse? Who on earth wrote those press releases for Liverpool claiming that if Evra couldn’t prove he was racially abused he should be punished? Why on earth did Dalglish tell the press it was some FA conspiracy?
For them to believe that Suarez, after kicking him and smacking him round the head, was calling Evra “negro” in a friendly way was quite frankly unbelievable. “His wife calls him that,” Dalglish claimed, as if during a Liverpool vs United clash any player from either side would talk to each other with the same sentiment they would talk to their wives. Ludicrous. Suarez was trying to make a friend of Evra, was he? If you’ll believe that, you’ll believe anything. Sadly, it seems that Liverpool fans, whose behaviour is akin to those in a cult, will believe anything.
However, for all their fuss, they didn’t appeal the decision, which speaks volumes. If they were so certain that Suarez was innocent, why accept the decision to find him guilty? They accepted it but claimed not to agree with it. Suarez didn’t even have the decency to apologise for Evra. Even if, as he claimed, he didn’t mean to cause offence, the fact that he had done warranted some gesture. But as was typical with their whole dealing of the situation, he lacked any sort of class or remorse. Even on the pitch, with Evra visibly upset about what Suarez had called him, there was no apology. If Suarez was meaning “negro” in the friendly way he claims, why would he not say sorry when he could see that Evra hadn’t taken it that way? The obvious answer is because Suarez wasn’t addressing Evra as a companion, but an enemy, as that is what he is.
Then we have Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard talking about the responsibility of both clubs to behave properly today, which is incredible given how little responsibility their club has shown up until now. Liverpool FC and Dalglish are responsible for the vile treatment Evra will get today because they have painted him as the bad guy in order to make Suarez the victim. If that vile treatment turns to racism, the club has no one to point the finger at but themselves.
It is ridiculous to think that today Evra is going to be on the receiving end of awful abuse, whether they manage to keep racial overtones out of it or not, but our player can take it. He’s hardly Mr Popular at Stamford Bridge or the Emirates either. The point is Evra is a pantomime villain to those fans, disliked for petty reasons, but still things you can relate to all the same. If United had just been battered in big game against our rivals, we wouldn’t take kindly to one of their players say it was “men against babies”. The difference in this situation though is that Evra hasn’t done anything to warrant the abuse. He went to Anfield to play a football match and was racially abused by an opponent.
How will Liverpool fans make themselves look today in abusing Evra, whose only crime was being racially abused by one of their own players? Dreadful.
A banner in the United end reads: “MUFC – Defending Champions LFC – Defending Racists”. Can’t say fairer than that.

The Liverpool Myth
The Suarez report broken down
Transcript of Dalglish’s defence of Suarez at a press conference
Man Utd News 24/7
Disgusting chants and deep disappointment
LOL
Boos, hamburgers, urine bottles and plenty of bananas me thinks.
LIVERPOOL = SCUM OF THE EARTH.
Arguably the most classless club on Earth along with those sheep-shaggers. I can imagine the worst sort of behavior known to football fans from that lot.
COME ON UNITED!!!
Relax guys……………Carrol is playing for us…..look at some of his passes
@Balaji – No argument mate
And thank fuck the weather improved in my place and I am getting the channel now else due to the overcast weather the signal was off.
Fuck me Carrol was all over DDG!!
makes me sick this.
LFC, Rugby tactics Halsey must do better.
Comeon you reds.
Agger, Skrtel and Carragher have a lot to do to rise up to be called scum, such a lowly scum
*Frustration is def affecting my dictionary
Rafael is playing really well. Needs to stay fit and get a run of games.
GET IN!!!!!!!!!!
PAAAAAAAAAAARKKKKKK! 1-1
Park u beauty
Who needs a new mid…………we have Park , who can play at any position
@FletchTHEMAN: Right on the money, mate
rafael, son, take a bow.
I think Park will be widely known in United folklore as “Big Game Park”, once he retires in 2057
very poor goal keeping,ddg should have his eyes on the ball not jostling with players. he should know as a goalkeeper he is protected so a push on him will win us a foul. i think we need a 4 4 2, someone to support welbeck
rafas having a corker!
Scholes is putting in a shift. Nice crisp passes. The man is a legend. One word then SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Get in Lads. These are the game we were born for.
we need someone else with welbeck thogh with all the penetration we are getn with rafa and antonio
Is it just me, or did it look like Carroll was doing the back stroke for their goal, his elbows were everywhere.
Decent 1st half by the way.
Very good performance all things considering. Tony, Rafa and Carrick have been brilliant.
And kudos to Park. He wasn’t in the game that much, but as usual, came up with the goods when it mattered.
The only fucking thing with Rafa is he has to stay fit. If he does, there isn’t a fullback in the league that can touch him in terms of all around game. This match is just one example of that. Easily one of our best performers in this match.
Liverpool look like fucking clowns. They are supposed to be at home and 1-0 up against their biggest rivals and have done fuck all the entire game. We’ve literally bossed with a completely sub-par United line up. I can’t remember them doing anything with the ball in the last 20 minutes. As the commentator said, Dalglish’s genius decision to play Carragher in the holding role is completely working against them at the moment.
On the other hand, we’ve looked solid ever since Park moved to the free moving role and Giggs moved left. Park is getting a lot of fucking space in the middle and we can certainly use it to our advantage. Carrick and Scholes have been solid in terms of us maintaining possession. And we can certainly get moves going if Valencia and Welbeck can maintain it.
As Rant Cast were saying, the problem with us has been maintaining the level of performance in the 2nd half. If we can do that, then I think we have a big chance of beating them. Next goal is going to be crucial.
scholes nd carrick controlling the midfield, this is gr8 stuff, anders shud hab started though!
For showing when it matters, Three Lung Park is the best player in the world! Ballon d’Or for the man please!
may the slagging off for De Gea begin.
Anyone asking who covered Agger? No? Why not? Ah right De Gea’s in goal.
Performances like this make you wonder why Rafa isn’t starting more often. But (God forbid) a substitution after 70 minutes will explain why. I hope this is where he starts reestablishing himself. A fit RB will solve a lot of problems for us.
Just posted on the other thread that apart from Giggsy giving away passes and flicks theTeam is doing very well so far. Still like to see Berbclass in there with Wellbeck.
I don’t get David De Gea.
He has confidence on the ball.
He makes great saves.
He can catch.
He can get down low.
Great Reflexes.
Can save penalties.
He even looks like he;s a unaffected lad because of how hes dealt with criticism for which I admire the lad.
BUT and a really big BUTT….why cant he MAN UP during set pieces. Come running out and KO a player. Or do something that oozes arrogance,happiness and cockyness when he surrounded like….
foul a player, shove his elbow in faces, jump with his knees on the backs of other players.
The lad is scared of these positions and so are many keepers but the guy needs to Man Up during set pieces.
He’s perfect imo but thats his only flaw plus he may need glasses ahahaha.
Come on United!
Costas – Dunno why so many people are associating Rafael with muscle injuries. That clearly was Fabio. Rafa has often problems with ankle, then the broken shoulder and the heavy concussion.
Never really was as prone as his brother. As far as I’m aware.
Is de gea gonna be suptituted by lindy? Hope not it will be horrible for De gea’s confidence
Hoping for similar performance in the 2nd half
Andy Carroll doing his part to show he is not from these parts. Playing like he could care less as well.
So glad he was rested for us.
Carrick looks like he’s guarding against an injury. He’s being very cautious and not running a huge amount. Wasn’t there a report that he had a tight hamstring?
Rafael trying to get himself injured there!!!
Bellamy is the real deal of late. When he comes on Rafael will have to be on his game.
Bit to casual from deGea. Lad needs some caffeine!\\
Come ON You REDS
OHHHHHHHHHH Danny.
Fucking Carrol always leading with the elbow, should’ve been off twice already
WTF Halsey??!!!
Halsey fucking twat why isn’t he booking any scum?!
fuck that dutch kuyt.
but I’m proud of what the team played.
sick sick sick
horrible defending for the goal by Evra and De Gea should have done better.
What the hell?!? Is this really true!? Can’t believe this
The defence is horrible and I feel horribly bad for de gea
Dirkadick always plays fucking well against us. Absolutely fucking livid me
we played really well and one mistake costs us the game.
that’s how football works.
didn’t worked today, but we can proud of our performance to outplay the fuckers with THAT line-up.
No Vidic, Cleverley, Rooney, Nani.
The day seemed a bit much for De Gea.
Oh the irony! Evra culpable for the winner!!!
get in
Get in lads. See purple nose didn’t even know who fucking scored, probably all the whiskey he had for breakfast.
