Suarez apologises for biting Ivanovic

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has apologised for his “inexcusable behaviour” after biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

The incident occurred in the second half of Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday.

“I've spoken to Ivanovic on the phone and I could apologise directly to him,” Suarez tweeted. “Thanks for accepting.”

The incident itself was appalling what possessed Suarez to try and take a chunk out an opponent’s arm is beyond anybody who has any interest in football whatsoever, kudos to Ivanovic for the way he reacted to the whole thing. 

Suarez will rightly face a lengthy ban for his mad behaviour, and while many are right to say he’s damaged the reputation of Liverpool and the Premier Legaue, there’s a more worrying factor here.

Liverpool, despite the statements they’ve released, won’t sack or sell Suarez, because they simply can’t afford to, that’s the worst part of all this.

I love football and will defend it against anyone who questions it's integrity, but if Liverpool were to sack or sell him other clubs ftom all over the world would be lining up to sign him, that’s both a damning indictment of the game and sad.

Although, as is always the case, there is some humour to be found in the wake of this incident, for starters Suarez is being offered anger management counselling, I think it’s a bit late for that seeing as though this isn’t the first time he’s bitten someone.

But the best bit by far is that after Suarez took to Twitter to initially apologise, he gained a new follower none other than Mike Tyson, you honestly couldn’t make it up.

What next is Suarez going to threaten to eat the children of his opponents?
