It is difficult to decide which to dislike most about Luis Suarez.

The way he racially abused Patrice Evra; how he subsequently refused to shake Evra's hand; the way he clamped his teeth into two opponents — Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic the latest victim; his habit of falling over with the minimal encouragement to win a penalty and possibly see an opponent sent off; the way he has kicked Liverpool, a club which has stood by him, at times defending the indefensible, throughout his excesses, in the teeth; or the sheer hypocrisy of using the English media he so despises to force a transfer.

This is what the Uruguay international said in January: "I want to say now that, if you want to know what will happen to me if we don't qualify for the Champions League, then I will say this: I have a contract with Liverpool and I am very happy here. I will stay."
