Man Utd's Fletcher: Evra came out of Suarez feud the bigger man
Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher says Patrice Evra proved the "bigger man" after he was snubbed by Liverpool's Luis Suarez before yesterday's blockbuster.
Fletcher praised the Frenchman for being "the bigger man" over the handshakes.
"I think what went on before the game has added that extra bit of spice to it, not that it needed it," the Scot said on Sky Sports News.
"Credit to Patrice Evra, I think he's come out, he's the bigger man. He's gone to shake his hand and obviously Suarez has rejected it."

if evra was the bigger man, he wouldn't have complained about Suarez in the first place... he would have just let whatever comment suarez said slide.
It clearly shows the depth of your intelligence. You probably do not have one. He complained through the proper channels instead of bringing that matter into his own hands. He could have beat up Suarez on the field but he remained calm and played his game. Suarez was obviously the one who lost the plot here.
Last of all, put yourself in Evra's shoes, i believed you would have done something if someone curses your mum or bedded your girl.

"I actually feel like I hate all black people after this episode because it just makes me feel sick the injustice" Seriously grow the f@*k up. if matters of football make you hate all black people then you should just give up on life. you've let you're whole race down.
