I admire your effort but I'd much appreciate it if you didn't quote his posts, there's a reason why he's on my ignore list

LONDON (AP)—The English Football Association has launched an investigation into allegations from Manchester United’s Patrice Evra that he was racially abused by Liverpool striker Luis Suarez during Saturday’s Premier League match.
Evra, a black French defender, was quoted as telling French TV station Canal Plus: “There are cameras, you can see him (Suarez) say a certain word to me at least 10 times.”
English football’s governing body said in a statement: “Referee Andre Marriner was made aware of an allegation at the end of the fixture and has subsequently reported this to The FA. The FA will now begin making inquiries into the matter.”
Neither Liverpool nor United immediately responded on Saturday night to requests for comment.
Javier Hernandez salvaged a 1-1 draw for United after Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored on a free kick.

We all know the word Evra is implying Suarez called him. I'm sorry but this is just rubbish. The conversation between Suarez and Evra happened during a corner right? So Suarez repeatedly called Evra the most controversial word in the English language, right in front of the entire Man U team - they were all packed in the area at the time, easily within hearing distance - and the other Man U players did not react at all.

If someone is going to say racist insults to a player on the pitch, they are not going to shout it out loud so that everyone else including the ref can hear are they? especially when they are so close to eachother.
gif above doesn't tell us much though.
Evra looked very upset. Close to tears almost with eyes beginning to water up. This can clearly be seen when he pushes Suarez's arm off him as he tries to apologize.

Worms, I suggest you read your PMs.
So, can someone not a Liverpool or United fan give me their take on what happened?

you will have to wait for people to comb through the video of the match again to get a distinct take on what was said. maybe a fan in the crowd recording the game on their phone caught video footage if not sound of 1 of the 10 incidents.
Evra looked visibly upset though. I reckon something is up.

I think Nolan articulated the situation quite well.

I'm going to wait and see what sort of evidence there is before coming down on one side or the other. Am remembering the speculation about what Materazzi said to Zidane in the World Cup final - a lot of that speculation was race-based - and it turned out to be nothing of the sort (Materazzi had insulted Zidane's sister instead).

And for those claiming that Evra did once made false claims in that matter:
Police investigate claims that Finnan made racist remark to Evra

A police investigation has been launched after deaf football fans complained they had lip-read Liverpool's Steve Finnan making a racist remark towards Patrice Evra of Manchester United.
The Merseyside club immediately denounced the claim as an "outrageous slur" but Greater Manchester police confirmed last night that inquiries are ongoing into allegations that the Liverpool full-back "made an offensive comment" during last month's 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
It is understood that the alleged remark was picked up by fans watching the game on television. Two contacted the police, as well as Manchester United, and claimed they had lip-read what the Republic of Ireland international apparently said. Police are understood to have taken statements and to be reviewing footage of the game.
The revelations drew an angry response from Anfield. "The first either the club or the player knew about this matter was through the media," a spokesman said. "There has been absolutely no contact from the Greater Manchester police. We have subsequently had a video of the match analysed by a lip-reader, who has told us there is nothing to support this outrageous slur."
The incident allegedly happened after Finnan had given away the stoppage-time free-kick on Evra that led to Rio Ferdinand heading the decisive goal. Evra, however, was unaware of any racist taunts. The Senegal-born Frenchman, a £5.5m signing from Monaco in January, has not raised any complaints although he is aware of the allegations.
United will not comment because it is a possible criminal matter.
Finnan returned to Liverpool last night after being forced out of the Republic of Ireland's squad to face Sweden in Dublin because of a neck injury. "The player vehemently denies these allegations," the Liverpool spokesman added. "He has not used any such language."
Evra's club captain Gary Neville, meanwhile, has confirmed that he will appeal against the Football Association's £5,000 fine imposed last week when the ruling body found him guilty of improper conduct after he ran 60 yards towards the Liverpool fans and kissed his badge to celebrate Ferdinand's winner in the same match.

please what, i've arleady said the gif shows us nothing!
Does Evra look visibly upset or not when he is shoving away Suarez's apologies with watery eyes?
He certainly does to me, and that lends weight to his claims.
