Luis Suárez has been up to this old nonsense again. I say "nonsense"; I mean common assault of course. Actually, I mean uncommon assault. It's not every day, after all, that one grown man attacks another using his choppers for a weapon.
For those of you who don't esteem the beautiful game as much as I do, LS bit an opponent on the shoulder during Uruguay's game with Italy yesterday. It's conjures up quite an erotic vignette, that, doesn't it? One hot-blooded Latin, overwhelmed by his emotions, biting another on the shoulder. In reality it was rather more sordid than that.
As I feared they might, the broadsheet polemicists went to town on this episode today. Depending on who you ask, it was either a cultural misunderstanding on behalf of the English or a Freudian cry for help. All the analysis was unpinned with an rather unpleasant sneering tone. Whatever position football fans took on the subject was by definition gauche, and instruction was duly given.
