Miroslav Klose scores a goal with his hand, refs miss it, so Klose tells the ref it was a handball. Goal disallowed.

It's like that Mormon TV ad in real life.

 

Apparently it's OK for a German to admit when a goal hasn't been scored, but not to admit when one has.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

 

Can't admit to a handball on the goal line either.

 

Terry handed four-game ban:

Fuck the fucking FA. Nice to see a white guy calling a black guy a fucking black c.unt is worth half the penalty as a Hispanic guy calling a black guy "Negro," which is Spanish for black.

Black = 8 matches
Fucking black c.unt = 4 matches

Again, fuck the fucking FA.

 

Seems to me that racism is racism and they both should have been suspended the same amount of games. Either that or Terry should just get extra for being a complete douche.

Apparently the FA's rationale was that Suarez repeated his statement seven times whereas Terry said it once.

 

Spurs survive Fergie Time, hold on to beat ManYoo 3-2.

Elsewhere, Chelski beat Arsenal 2-1, Citeh come back to beat Fulham 2-1, Liverpool finally gets a win against Norwich 5-2, and Geoff Cameron and Stoke beat Swansea 2-0.

 

United without Vidic is simply not a top 4 quality team. Rio is a shell of his peak and Evans is a midtable CB.
