Can I ask why?
I get the fact that he's a diver, and will use anything to secure an advantage (but so does Gareth Bale.) I can see the biting thing - but so did Jermain Defoe.
so is it the Evra incident? or all of them?
I'm ambivalent towards him, given the shit that goes on in the circus that football has become.
Can't really see how you can hate him though.
I think one of the ITK mongs was saying that Levy values Bale at £170m. Maybe the Duracell Bunny is their back up plan.
I wouldn't disagree with repulsive, and on a cumulative level its hard to stick up for the guy, particularly as there are 2 ways of dealing with the shit that he and Bale have to endure, one is his way - which is petulant and reprehensible - and then there's Bales way, which is to make sure the foul or attempt is seen, and then deal with a modicum of dignity about the whole affair.
That said, what did he do wrong in the Ghana game? He took a card for the team, and then he celebrated when it came off (ie the penalty miss) how many of us would have done the same? - most of us I guess.
On thing that definitely doesn't help his cause, is that he has a face that makes you want to find a baseball bat.
Has something happened with this situation that I'm missing? Because all I can see it Suarez saying he "might" look to move if he keeps getting hassle from the press. And paper talk about Madrid being interested.
