Ah RAWK.
Most Liverpool fans think RAWK's even funnier that you all do.
Christ, Samuel is a prize idiot. His crush on Terry makes uncomfortable reading. Of course, Captain hero Leader John Terry the Lionheart could never do anything wrong ever, and it's preposterous anyone could ever think bad of him, and shame on the FA for putting him through the same sort of hearing Suarez had, Terry isn't a foreigner, he obviously is innocent!

The Suarez case should have been decided in civil court not in the kangaroo FA shambles. The same process by which bad tackle ban durations are decided should not be used to decide huge cases upon which rest players' reputations and careers.

Seems that Terry has been found guilty and has been banned for 4 games.

Four games for saying "****ing black ****" in English on camera.
Eight games for allegedly saying "negro" in Spanish ten times/five times/twice/once.
Interesting.
His ban should have been eight games. If the courts said there wasn't enough evidence for a proper conviction, then it was just Ferdinand's word against Terry's, as was Evra's word against Suarez's. Either he's innocent and gets no ban or he's guilty and gets the same ban.

Unfortunately for Suarez his word agreed with Evra's when he admitted to saying it. The FA in banning Suarez cited the number of times it was said as a clear indication (along with the pinch) that he was trying to provoke Evra. I know if I repeatedly say something insulting that is getting a reaction from somebody I'm trying to provoke them into retaliation or put them off whatever it is they are doing.
As far as we know (the report hasn't been released yet) Terry said it once. While I agree the difference in games is too much, there is a definite case for Terry to get less of a punishment considering the number of times the phrase was used.
just read a very interesting article on Tom Cleverley, who in my eyes is one of if not the most promising player England have. Whats your thoughts

Also, slowly but surely we really do have some great talent coming through! The Liverpool trio of Sterling, Shelvey and Ibe look promising, as do a no. of players at big clubs. Lets hope the PL make it law that you have to include a certain no. of home grown players in your matchday squad

Cleverley is decent but hyped up beyond his potential in my eyes. Like the article points out he is 23 now and still treated with oven mitts and excused his misgivings as a youngster. At 21 Gerrard was already the focal point of an England midfield that beat Germany 5-1. Jack Wilshere is 3 years younger, more experienced (despite missing a full season to injury), technically far superior and on evidence more suited to the big stage (Barcelona @ the Emirates).
He'll be a decent squad player for United or a good signing for Everton/Newcastle/Spurs but will remain on the periphery of the England first XI I feel.
