It's the racism row that won't go away. Tensions between Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Man United's Patrice Evra came to a boiling point again at the weekend when the Uruguayan refused to shake the Man United captain's hand.
The footballing world has talked about little else since. The latest is Suarez and his manager Kenny Dalglish have apologised for the handshake row after the direct intervention of Liverpool's US owners. I've been speaking to the former Liverpool and England player John Barnes about racism in the game.
