He didn't have to. It was clearly implied. Why bring up Neymar's achievement in Europe as an excuse for the way he was being disrespected by the Bilbao players if you don't mean it? And BTW, the reason he stated is not even fact. He's just taking a guess based on past events. That is why I...

I've always said Bale is mostly pace and a good shot but that's about it. His other attributes are nothing to write home about. The only reason he won the POTY award ahead of Suarez the season before he moved to Madrid was because of Suarez's bite and English media doing everything they can to...

Wait a sec. So Neymar is not allowed to do tricks like that because he hasn't "won anything yet" in Europe, eh? So you're saying only established "superstars" are allowed to try tricks? And that if a non-superstar tries tricks like that, the opposition players are justified in physically and...

Yep. Bowing out with a 2nd treble in your career that no other team in history has achieved is the perfect way to retire, in my opinion. I just wish other great one-club players like Gerrard have had the chance to leave on better terms than they did.

I think you'd be surprised at the amount of fans of other clubs that would love to have Busi in their team. Its just that the chances of Barca agreeing to sell him is slim to none, and thus they don't even bother dreaming about it.

That's the dream. A Suarez that only really played properly for about half a season in a completely new team and league for him, Neymar having on/off periods and constantly being subbed, Messi not performing as expected during the first half of the season. And yet, they're breaking goalscoring...

People need to stop being over-sensitive about everything these days. At this rate we'll soon be debating about putting a ban on scoring goals because its "disrespectful" towards the keeper. This is professional football, not a kiddie tea-party attended by children in bright summer frocks and...

I don't think Suarez will decline that quickly. Usually, those players that rely heavily on pace or those that suffer too much injuries are the ones that decline faster than others. Since Suarez neither relies on pace nor has a bad injury record, I think he'll be fine till 32/33 maybe. But in...

Dear Bilbao players, I have no idea why you guys were so worked up over that. It was a trick move. So what? GET OVER IT. What? You want him to shake your hand, salute you and hand over the ball to you so that he can have your "approval of respect"? Newsflash - Its not illegal to...

Alright Alright. We're all going to have to agree to disagree. Feels like we're going around in circles. These arguments do not seem to benefit us or the club in any significant way. Its in the past, so lets just let it remain there. Peace out. :cheers:

No, it wasn't. Neither was his punishment for a "racial abuse" accusation where the only "evidence" available was the supposed victim's word against his. Even more so when you take into account the NT captain of the FA of the country that handed out the verdict received less punishment for the...

Tackling to get the ball is part of the game, and yes that often leads to taking out the player as well. However, not all bad tackles are accidental. And not all non-accidental tackles are punished appropriately. Anyway, nobody's saying aggression should be tolerated. However, when people often...

So a bite doesn't cause damage, and players have to accept that they'll get injured on-field, yet the one that doesn't cause injury is 10x more severe? So are we scaling the severity of punishment based on whether it is rare rather than on whether it causes much more physical harm? And is it not...

Deserved "a" ban. Sure. But absolutely not the 4 months + 1 year international for a bite that didn't even leave a mark. Meanwhile, people are getting yellow for deliberately aiming at other players' legs instead of the ball several times during a match. The hypocritical English media just love...

Problem with Liverpool has always been mostly down to inept owners. The current ones knew nothing about football when they took over and yet they were adamant about paying less wages and getting bigger results. That is why most of the players the club purchased under them are unproven youngsters...

Both have a successful season. Stat-wise, Neymar has a better season. But in my opinion, all things considered, Suarez slightly edges it. Next season would probably be a better time to compare their performances.

Its funny, this "poor little victim" Evra. He apparently has no problem insulting another race using racial slurs, yet he can't stand when people notice his skin color. Hypocrite much? Just like the English FA and their hypocritical media.

Exactly. I couldn't believe sane people with perfectly good eyes thought Suarez snubbed him for a handshake. It was so clear on the slow-motion replay that Evra purposefully delayed offering his hand. Suarez offered his hand, didn't get a reaction from Evra, and moved on to the next guy. It was...

Take Balotelli, Borini, Lambert combo then. Everyone is replaceable in the BBL trident. :lol:
