Nah. You, sir, have been listing to the hype machine. Karl Henry and to a lesser extent Joey Barton are genuine filthy cunts. Thugs. They have both tried their best to inflict serious injury upon fellow pros and have succeeded in some cases. Battering teenagers in the street and breaking the legs of fellow players, in my opinion, is lower than a half-hearted bite.
The player is worth more than £40m to Liverpool. Suspensions or not. Fair play to them I say.
