I didn’t see this incident yesterday but the photos are damning. Can’t help but think there’d be more made of it if Mascherano (a dirty South American) had bitten Defoe.
I was discussing this with the lads last night. It was pathetic how they dealt with it on MOTD2. Hansen, Peacock and Chiles all made a big joke about the strange little nibble, men were men in our day etc etc. We all agreed totally that if it was a foreign player there would have been an absolute outcry. We saw the criticism Zokora got for diving to win a penalty, also the grief Drogba gets and can you imagine if Keane or Vieira or somebody had done that to an England player back in the day? They really are pathetic at times theyll excuse Gerrard, Owen and Rooney diving but not foreigners. Now its the same with shit like this imagine biting someone, what an absolute knacker. I see the English Sport Minister has called for an investigation this morning so maybe it wont be swept under the carpet.
Jermain Defoe was arrested by police investigating alleged threats to kill two women following the disappearance of jewels and clothing worth £200,000 from his home.
