But when they get Terry's punk ass in front of them, they'd better throw the book at him. His comment toward Ferdinand was way more egregious than Suarez's. His stupid "I said I didn't call him that" defense is laughable.

I agree with LFC's take...if it's only Evra's word against Suarez, then an 8 match ban is completely over the top.
