Comment & analysis round-up

Quote of the day: “If ref sees that kick from Suarez and books him for it, should be red” – Wayne Rooney on the Luis Suarez challenge on Scott Parker.

Runner-up: “Who said that? Why don’t you tweet Wayne back and give him your answer. I don’t have a view on what they have tweeted, especially when I have not seen it. If [Gary] Neville or Wayne [Rooney] were standing there and asked me the question, I could answer them. I don’t think you can speak for either Gary or Wayne so unless they want to ask me the question, I will just plead the fifth amendment.” – Kenny Dalglish.
