Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Can’t Catch a Break
Obviously, when a Liverpool fan makes a video about how Luis Suarez is being short changed by the referees this season, it’s will be taken with a grain of salt. After the Uruguayan added yet another pathetic dive to his repertoire you can only expect only more ignoring from referees to his appeals.

Just being clinical upfront and efficient down back. The way Ferguson likes it.
