Liverpool AND United fans? Why would United fans give a toss about the life and times on Luis Suarez?

He's actually black. French. A left-back. How am I supposed to sleep now?

A little provocative, if true. Why didn't he attend the first leg, if he's so desperate to watch his old team?

Not a complete cock, just really young.
If it is true, it's more surprising than shocking. Why that guy would want to be within 5 miles of OT on a matchday is beyond me. Although with so many tickets going spare I can't see him having a particularly hard time.

It's only a Twitter rumour, and probably the usual Sunday 'paper nonsense.

If true it could certainly boost ticket sales!

Poyet back with more gems

Gus Poyet plans to lay into Liverpool and steer clear of Luis Suárez | Football | The Observer

Gus Poyet has said he hopes Luis Suárez is not forced out of England this summer following his return from an eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra and the Uruguayan has questioned the need for pre-match handshakes following the Liverpool striker's snub to the Manchester United left-back last weekend.

Brighton & Hove Albion's manager has been one of Suárez's staunchest defenders since the controversy erupted in October and believes the treatment his compatriot receives from now until the end of the season will decide whether he wants to stay. "I hope Luis is lucky enough to have a normal season," says Poyet. "The other day he just tried to volley a ball and he volleyed [Scott Parker's] stomach. I watch it on television and I see it 150 times."

The message is clear: do not chase Suárez out of the country by blowing minor incidents out of proportion. After all it is not normally easy to feel unwelcome in a foreign land, even though Poyet accepts that foreign players need to adapt to England before England adapts to them. Before he joined Chelsea in 1997 his Real Zaragoza team-mate, Nayim, who had played for Tottenham Hotspur, gave him "so much information it was scary".

"I will do everything to win a football match," says Poyet. "Whatever you imagine. And then you come to England and it's 'don't do this, don't do that'. Don't go down. I got injured in my first season and I was paying a lot of attention to how you need to behave." He will not be telling his players to go out of their way to wind up Suárez, though. "That will happen anywhere in the world but not here. If it was in Spain, all the players would be talking all week about it. For you, that is unfair."

Do not expect a Brighton player to ignore Suárez in the pre-match handshake then, a pointless ritual in Poyet's eyes. "I don't know what the difference is if I shake hands with you and after I want to go through you and smash you and kill you. In my time at Chelsea our biggest rivals were Manchester United and Arsenal. If I shake hands with Roy Keane, that means he won't kick me afterwards? What is the point? We're showing off."

Liverpool's biggest threat needs no introduction to Poyet, who is well aware of the danger Suárez poses to the Championship side's hopes of causing a major upset at Anfield on Sunday afternoon and, although he hopes the recent controversies surrounding the striker do not cause him to leave England this summer, he would rather his team did not have to try to stop him. "I want him to play in England," says Poyet. "But I hope he doesn't play against us. I want the best players on the pitch but not against me!"

Brighton have already played Liverpool once this season, losing 2-1 at the Amex Stadium in the Carling Cup in September. At the time they were third in the Championship, had beaten Sunderland in the Carling Cup and seemed a decent bet to emulate Norwich City and win back-to-back promotions to the Premier League. Then reality intervened. "The Carling Cup took a lot from us," admits Poyet. "We gave everything we had at the start of the season. I had calls from everyone about how well we performed." Brighton did not win again until November, dropping into mid-table.

Poyet acknowledges his players were stretched to the limit mentally. He failed to see it coming. He has learned from that. So have they. After a disappointing end to 2011 Brighton have begun the new year with a fresh spring in their step, lie two points behind the play-offs and are unbeaten in their past 10 matches, a run that took in a victory in the last round over Newcastle United.

The man responsible for that victory was Will Buckley, a 22-year-old winger whose run and cross forced Newcastle's Mike Williamson to concede the decisive own-goal. With Buckley having scored five goals in his last seven games, Liverpool will have to be wary of one of the Championship's rising stars. "We need to make sure Will can do what he's doing in the last month," says Poyet. "It's not easy but he has been outstanding. He's always doing the right thing at the right time." José Enrique has been warned.

It is almost 29 years to the day since Brighton went to Anfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup and stunned Liverpool, beating them 2-1 on their way to the final, where they lost in a replay to Manchester United. A year later they beat the league champions 2-0 in the fourth round, this time on their own patch. History beckons again – as long as Brighton can keep Suárez quiet.

Just had a wee look at the people's website. Now there's a sports section which is regularly updated!
Nooooo ... don't do it! That's what they want to happen.

Cheeky little ploys last night like sending Tweets out about this "shocking story" as if Suarez was about to bloody sign for us - bet their web traffic went through the roof!

They got you.

He really wants to carry this situation on doesn't he? Considering the outrage he caused by deliberately flouting the last opportunity he had to draw a line under the whole thing, you would think he had more sense. If his club had anything about them they would ensure he doesn't go on Thursday, as it is clear the only reason he is doing so is to put the spotlight back on himself

Of course it is. He's a hero in Liverpool and his home country now, he clearly wants to stay in the spotlight.

I also think Liverpool and their supporters don't really want it to end either (though the owners and sponsers clearly disagree), because they love dwelling in their victim status. They actually revel in being looked down on as something you scrape off the sole of your shoe, it reinforces their childish need for attention and pity.

So he's actually going to go out of his way to travel to his teams most bitter rival's stadium to potentially watch Patrice Evra captain them to a victory over his former team. :lol:

I hope it's true.

Luis Suarez set to attend Manchester United v Ajax game | Mail Online

Suarez set for Old Trafford return: Liverpool striker to be in stands to support former club Ajax

Luis Suarez is set to make a sensational return to Old Trafford just weeks after his handshake row with Patrice Evra to support former club Ajax in the Europa League.

The Liverpool striker is understood to have accepted a ticket for the game from friends at Ajax and intends to be in the stands for the game on Thursday.

Suarez refused to shake Evra’s hand in the game at Old Trafford earlier this month following the public race-row between the two players in which the Uruguayan was banned for eight games.

The striker issued an apology for his actions but has told friends that he intends to be at the ground to support the team he left last January in the tie that United lead 2-0.

An Ajax player told The People: ‘Luis still has a lot of friends at Ajax and sees no reason why he shouldn’t go to Old Trafford.’

United will not be happy with the news and are likely to ask Ajax to advise Suarez not to turn up for fears of inciting crowd trouble.

And while United accepted the apologies from Kenny Dalglish and managing director Ian Ayre for the handshaking incident, they will fear Suarez's attendance at the game could open old wounds.

Hopefully he is refused entry on account of his previous racial abuse.
Nah. Let him come. He'll get dogs abuse and watch his favorite team go out of the competition at the hands of his least favorite team captained by his least favorite player.

Will be a fun night out for Luis.

If this true, how thick can Suarez be ? Wanting to receive a shower of insults for something that won't be worth watching, I'm speechless if there is any truth about this

"And while United accepted the apologies from Kenny Dalglish and managing director Ian Ayre for the handshaking incident, they will fear Suarez's attendance at the game could open old wounds."
The wounds are fresh

Perhaps he's after a move to a good team.
