Ridiculous challenge from Coloccini there. Got to guess there is some history to that. He barely touched him, but to do that so long after the ball had gone was utter stupidity. I cannot imagine how Pardew will feel towards Coloccini if Liverpool scrape a winner here.

Young Raheem needs a role model. He's picking up too many bad habits, throwing himself to the floor after an air shot.

Bloody hell, my Facebook was jam-packed with 'Suarez best goal ever', 'if that was Rooney/Wilshere it would be a Sky advert for years'... great goal but nice overreaction. Speaking of overreaction, did Coloccini even TOUCH Suarez? :CRAZY:

It was a fabulous finish to be fair. I'm not sure how deliberate the quality of the touch with the shoulder was, rather than luck, but as a former winger I can respect how hard it is to control a ball like that. The finish was superb.

Coloccini had a brain explosion. There was no significant contact with the leg he went for, Suarez had already started his jump and spin before he impacted on him and if there was any contact it was a glancing blow before he brushed his other foot. But you know what? It doesn't matter, he's gone to stamp/rake his studs down his leg and it's the intent that has rightly got him sent off. It's one of those situations where a lot of players would find it hard to resist clattering him there. Phil Neville would have been salivating had he been in that situation. When it presents itself like that, you've got to take it :wink: But instead of just sticking his knee into his thigh subtly and getting a yellow, the fool goes and earns himself a three week break. Newcastle will miss him.

Oh yeah, it was definitely a red, just didn't warrant the 'sniper' treatment. Where's the national outrage about City getting a favourable offside decision in their favour by the way? Or is it only when Utd get one? Should have had 4 or 5 against Arsenal on Saturday, they were woeful. I love RVP, he's such a class player, only wish he'd seen Arsenal's decline 2 or 3 years earlier and signed for us in 09/10. The title race is already setting up to be a good one.

Coloccini could have made himself an instant hero with about 75% of the football watching public of this country had he proper cleaned Suarez out. Sadly it was too reminiscent of the Keane/Shearer one of a few years ago at St James' Park. Definite red cards but should have at least made them a bit more worthwhile.

To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

It was, but I've seen people on Twitter comparing it to Bergkamp's against Argentina in the World Cup :DOH:

Not in the same ballpark.

It wasn't even that.

It was a fantastic piece of control to bring the ball down, but once he did that the keeper was pretty much out of the equation and it was a simple case of going past the static keeper and putting the ball in an empty net.

The control to get the ball down was perfect. It was a difficult ball, in the most pressured of positions, and Suarez took it down magnificently.

But the way it's been exaggerated is ridiculous. I'd personally say that if all the goals at the weekend were watched, it wouldn't even be the best goal of the week, never mind up with the all time greats.
