Liverpool striker Luis Suárez, who returned this week from an eight-game suspension for racial abuse, showed he was a changed man when meeting Patrice Evra before today's Manchester United-Liverpool match. Ha-ha, no, he refused to shake the hand of the player against whom he allegedly abused in the racial manner, forcing Evra to grab his arm in what definitely does not qualify as a handshake.

Classic rivals Liverpool and Manchester United faced off yesterday with Liverpool coming out victorious. However, the story of the game would not be the play on the pitch, but rather the Liverpool fan monkeying around in the stands. The picture above made the rounds on Twitter during the match and sparked an investigation into the individual and his motives. A 59 year-old North Wales man was later taken into police custody for questioning, presumably by "specialist 'hate crime' detectives." More »

"Manchester City inflicted Manchester United's worst home defeat since February 1955 as they thrashed the champions in ruthless fashion to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League. City were also the victors on that occasion 56 years ago, winning 5-0, but this visit was portrayed as a measure of their progress against the 19-time champions. And Roberto Mancini's men could not have delivered a more emphatic statement as Sir Alex Ferguson's side were humiliated." [BBCSport] More »

Thirteen minutes after Ryan Giggs opened up a hole in the wall wide enough for Stephen Gerrard to put Liverpool ahead 1-0, Chicharito scored a header off a corner to level the match at one. It was his first touch coming off the bench. Great second half. (Ignore 0:57 on in the top video; today's Chicharito goal appears separately at the bottom of the post). More »

With his Barcelona side down a goal in the 70th minute against Man U in D.C. tonight, Thiago took a shot from about 20 yards out. It went upper 90 with the quickness. Poor David De Gea, the new Reds keeper, moved about a twentieth of a foot before the goal netting snapped back. More »

English soccer clubs sometimes play "testimonials," in which they bring back their older stars for a friendly match of former rivals. Like parades or bowling parties, it's a nice way to make the old folk feel appreciated for still being around. Yesterday, with Man United playing Juventus in the Gary Neville Testimonial, 36-year-old not-quite-has-been David Beckham showed his worth by capturing a young fan who'd run onto the pitch and then delivering a trademark corner kick as the kid got cuffed behind him.

Some married British soccer player had an affair with a model, and we guessed it was Ryan Giggs. But the media couldn't reveal his name because of a court order. So someone signed up for Twitter and started naming names, including that of Ryan Giggs. But we still don't know for certain that Ryan Giggs had an affair, because the newspapers are still barred from reporting that Ryan Giggs had an affair. More »

We felt very bad last time. We hate blind items (though we did guess Ryan Giggs).

They're called injunctions, and lots of celebrities have them, and together the whole thing is some big Super Injunction mystery. More »

That's referee Howard Webb over there. A photoshop of him actually, because he doesn't really wear a Manchester United kit while refereeing. He wears a referee's shirt. After a controversial FA Cup match in January, with some controversial decisions going United's way, Liverpool player Ryan Babel posted the photoshopped image to his Twitter. He was fined for it. Basically, everyone thinks Howard Webb is in the bag for their rival. Remember all this, it'll come up later. More »

Two games on this afternoon: Shakhtar Donetsk takes on Barcelona at Donbass Arena, and Manchester United hosts Chelsea at Old Trafford Stadium. They both start at 2:45, and with Chelsea down a goal on aggregate, they must win to advance. But Wayne Rooney, threat to already-cursing children everywhere, is allowed to play in Champions League games , and he's totally ready to be martyred. The Barca game might not have the same top billing, but it is Barca, and it is a warm-up for a potential semi-final match with Real Madrid — a game that makes our own Brian Hickey "tingle inside with joy." Enjoy. More »

Liverpool and Manchester United played in the annual FA Youth Cup on Sunday. United came back from two goals down to win, 3-2. The other final count at Anfield: three fans arrested for drunkenness, six ejected for what was likely more controlled drunkenness, and reports that a section of United fans chanted and sang about the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedies to antagonize the Liverpool side. There were also four red cards and a head-butt. There is competitive spirit, and then there is soccer in England. More »
