The eight games is underway. Liverpool have decided against appealing Luis Suarez's 8 match ban for racially abusing United's Patrice Evra. The announcement came after the FA released their scathing report on the incident, which made the club look bad enough.
Suarez released a statement on Liverpool's website which included:
In my country, ‘negro’ is a word we use commonly, a word which doesn’t show any lack of respect and is even less so a form of racist abuse. Based on this, everything which has been said so far is totally false.
I will carry out the suspension with the resignation of someone who hasn’t done anything wrong and who feels extremely upset by the events. I do feel sorry for the fans and for my team mates whom I will not be able to help during the next month. It will be a very difficult time for me.
The only thing I wish for at the moment is being able to run out again at Anfield and to do what I like most which is playing football.
Suarez's suspension began on Tuesday against City. He'll miss a mix of both league and cup matches.
