.Who would have scored all their goals without Suarez. Without RvP we would still have Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck which is a better attack than Liverpool with Suarez so try to have a little sense about these things.
.Give over, Newbie's obviously had a bee in his bonnet about Liverpool being called a one man team so he's gone to his go to response by shifting the focus onto Man Utd. Believe me I would have liked to have been proved wrong about his motives but alas he's as regular as clockwork

I agree, he should be strung up, I'm just glad every other sports person in the world always has 5 seconds every time they are asked for an autograph.
"fachts" show manu are more of a one man than anyother team, yernited supporters shift focus onto poster.

Sepp Blatter says Kevin Prince Boateng was wrong to walk off :/
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...acism-Sepp-Blatter-says-wrong-walk-pitch.html
Such an utterly stupid man he is and hes in charge of world football.
Personally i think KPB was right to walk off, no one should be racially abused regardless.
Yeah, lets just pile on Blatter because he was... right.
Racism is terrible, as with anything else in the world, when you give in you lose and they win. KPB walking off the pitch meant the racists won that day, even if they punish them later, they still won that time. Bully's, racists, whatever, attention seeking ***** and when you react they win.
I also don't think what KPB did was wrong per say either, he was very good in that he applauded the rest of the home crowd and the rest of the home crowd had a go and yelled at the section that was doing the chanting. But ultimately they tried to wind up a black player and won the battle, and that is what they wanted the whole time. Those fans could be punished if the game went on or not, and after the game KPB could have talked about it and basically given the message out that racist chanting won't effect him, its a waste of time and basically laughed the racists off as pathetic.
There is no really right or wrong way to go in these situations, the best way IS to not react, because that is always what bullys look for, its why they do it, but I fully understand that is really damn difficult, reacting to emotions is what humans are about. I absolutely don't blame him, its a natural reaction, but its also buying into what the racists wanted to achieve.
Imagine what happens if now racist say Lazio fans go to every Milan game to do racist chanting, to get Milan to walk off every game of the season?
I for one thing racist chanting is terrible, as is having a go at any player for any reason, racism isn't special, its all attrocious. How many Utd/Arsenal games would Arsenal have walked off the pitch for when Utd fans chant about him being a peadophile? Had Arsenal done that once, would that have increased or decreased the frequency with which people used those chants?
Ultimately racists will be encouraged by KPB reaction and thus more likely to chant in the future, not less likely.
Facts you decided to drag up for no reason other than to take a pop at Man Utd. No one is shifting anything onto you you've done a bang up job singling yourself out all on your own
Does it really matter?
At the end of the day RVP has gone on to prove another masterstroke from Fergie (love him or hate him). Bringing in the best player in the league for £20m from a rival and for him to have such an immediate impact (I know some people on here would debate the "rival" part though). The only problem is that he's relatively old.
Suarez is a great player also but according to the stats not on par with Van Persie, but maybe that's the rest of the team holding him back?
Even if Newbie was taking a swipe he pretty much failed, because when it comes to stats the only one that matters is the league table. Would anyone really mind if their team was a one man team if it wins titles?
I'm sure Van Persie won't care because it's more than he's achieved at Arsenal, and I'm sure anyone connected to United won't care because the end justifies the means.
Being a one man team and finishing mid table is where the problems start (not saying that is where Liverpool will finish but it's certainly on the cards).
In part I agree.
Players should not just walk off the pitch if faced with racist abuse, they should make the referee aware and it is up to him to contact the stadium control and halt the game, ask for the abuse to stop and increase police numbers in the parts of the ground where it is happening.
Then the racist abuse either stops or the game is called off and replayed behind closed doors with punishments upon the club who the fans belong to and the fans themselves.

I really don't see how that is any different from the players walking off. Same end result. You really think that asking people to stop being racist in the stands will work.
All it will do is just give pillocks like Blatter an easy way to keep ignoring the issue. He would simply tell referees not to stop games unless the whole place is rioting.
Until the whole crowd realises that games simply won't continue if racist chanting is heard then it will continue. People pay a lot of money to watch football, I doubt that the fans will put up with many games cancelled because of racism from their own supporters.
