Manchester United vs. Liverpool - the derby of all derbies in the English game.
Tomorrow will see Luis Suarez make the trip to Old Trafford for the first time since being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra. There is much discussion amongst United fans to whether or not they should boo Suarez. First thing to say is that he has served his ban for what he has done and booing will simply give him an extra reason to raise his game to its destructive best.
Personally then, the United fans should not boo him, he has been punished and its time to move on. What ever "friendly" thing he did call Evra, booing will not make him more guilty, and may even give Liverpool the edge. The fans need to get behind the players, get behind their football, and remember that 3 points is far more important than letting Suarez know what he has done wrong (that is what the ban was for!).
Boo Dalglish who seems to be dragging this saga on as if his club has been unfairly treated. He is the one actively supporting the racism. Could he just be trying to beef up his CV for a role with FIFA one day?
Unlike Lawro who predicts boring 1-1 draws in all big games, I am going for 3-1 United as they have a lot of players returning from injury and will be buoyed by the comeback at Stamford Bridge last week. And special thanks to the Muppets for their insightful predictions this week....desperate times for BBC Sport - was Robbie Savage busy?
