He missed like 3 months with injury so its taken him a while to get going but hes played in nearly every match since his hat-trick and was excellent in the last two matches.

You'll just have to suck it up and take it on the chin... as it were.

Wonder who else agrees (or otherwise) with the Independent's Man Utd player ratings for the season... Van Persie scores a 9... kind of begs the question, what do you have to do to get a 10?

Im getting worried about the Rooney/Fergie situation again...he has started the last four games...but he's also been subbed in the last four games...
So Suarez has accepted the FA charge but he disputes the fact that it warrants more that a 3 game ban...theres something seriously wrong with him!

As much as I hate him but Gareth Bale has been brilliant,PFA should go to him.

And why exactly would I be mad over it?! The Portuguese league is a jumper league, where most of the biggest player transfers in past 5 or so years have come from the top 3 Portuguese clubs. 2 of the top managers to leave Porto are doing great things in the bigger leagues backed by much more money (Mourinho + AVB). I just don't like Abrahmovich and his managerial sacking ways. That and the smug attitude from glory seeking bandwagon riders. Before Mou went to Chelsea, how many fans did you have?
Loser? Bitter boy are we?!
Your club got the easier draw facing Basel and should head to the final but if you face Benfica, they will knock your club on it's ass. As a Porto fan, I'm not ashamed to admit that either.

Seems my prediction was right - Suarez is handed a 10-match ban...

Just seen that on Facebook, Apparently, it is the join 6th longest ban given by the FA.
EDIT: Just seen the list of bans on the link and Cantona joint top

It's not any worse, but the ban also takes into account different things, like previous infractions by the same player. Not only has Suarez already served a lengthy ban in the EPL, he has also served a lengthy ban for the same offense in the Dutch league, so any ban imposed for this latest incident ought to reflect the fact that he has clearly learned nothing. Also, Liverpool are making themselves look bad by reacting the way they have - 'shocked' at the length of the ban... really? While they have every right to be disappointed and angry, they surely cannot be surprised!... and if they had any guts, they'd sack Suarez - but of course they won't.

The next player who is found guilty of racially abusing another player will get at least ten games.
As for career ending tackles, it all depends on circumstance, if it was meant to break a leg, there will be a massive ban. Most of them are attempts to win the ball which go a bit wrong.

The ban shouldn't take into account any past incidences. He has already served the ban for them. The ban is just in proportion with the pathetic media and general public's reaction of "SAVAGE BITE BY SUAREZ" when he barely had time to even begin to sink his teeth into Ivanovic. Defoe bit Mascherano and got no ban even though he got up and went towards him just to bite him.
The FA is corrupt. You break someone's leg, no ban. You deliberately stamp on another player, no ban. You bite someone on the arm which is never going to cause physical injury, ban. Yeah ok. Maybe Suarez should of just broken his leg, he would have got away with it then because people expect that stuff to happen and won't make a big deal out of it.

Defoe was not banned because FA rules meant that he could not be banned because the referee had seen and dealt with the issue on the pitch (a yellow card was awarded IIRC)... so you cannot compared these two incidents on that basis alone.
The length of any ban has to reflect several things, but I strongly disagree with your view that previous offenses should have no bearing on the matter.
