Did Luis Suarez bite another opponent for fourth time? (VIDEO)

The old saying goes Never bite the hand that feeds you. But it never mentions anything about the hand that tries to defend you — at least in Luis Suarez's book.

The newly acquired Barcelona striker, who has a taste for his opponents as well as the net, looks like he took a little nibble from the hand of Manchester City's Martin Demichelis' hand in the waning minutes of the Champions League game the other night.


Dining alfresco during a match seems to be Suarez's specialty and while his latest tasting on the pitch didn't get a red card, it appears he hasn't curbed his serial biter ways.
Here's the video bite:




There was no reaction from Demichelis or his City team-mates but, with Suarez's past history, the league will probably take a close look at the tape — and the teeth marks.

Man U's Fellaini investigated for spitting on injured City opponent (VIDEO)

The FA have confirmed they are looking into the video footage which appears to show Marouane Fellaini spitting at Pablo Zabaleta's face during Tuesday's match between Manchester United and Manchester City.




The Man U midfielder was carded by referee Michael Oliver for a flagrant first-half elbow to the face of his City opponent during the Manchester showdown.

However, while Zabaleta rolled around on the pitch, Fellaini appears to aim a loogie at the Argentine immediately after being shown the yellow card.

A flop and a sop.



The FA could now look into this incident in much the same way as they did when retroactive punishment was on Hull City's George Boyd's spitting incident earlier this month.

Boyd was subsequently banned for three matches despite appealing the charge. 

Here's Marouane's original infraction before lobbing the gob.

Woman goes off on England soccer star Ashley Cole for not leaving tip (VIDEO)

Amazing video footage has emerged of an England soccer star receiving a barrage of foul-mouthed abuse by an angry woman outside a Missouri bar.

Ashley Cole was in St Louis for Chelsea’s post-season double header against Manchester City in May. On a night out with friends, Cole somehow touched a nerve with one woman, who proceeded to scream and shout profanities at the Premier League defender. 

The 32-year-old Cole — who reportedly makes $320,000 per week playing in the league — was believed to have been in the Hair of the Dog bar, and a dispute reportedly arose over the amount of money left as a tip, according to TMZ.



For over two minutes, the woman, believed to be the bartender, launches an unending stream of abuse towards Cole and his friends, and even says she hopes Cole would be robbed, beaten and raped on his way home from the night-spot. 

"I hope this stupid a** gets robbed, gets beat, gets raped right here on the motherf****** sidewalk," she shouted at the former Arsenal player. "I need that a****** to get beaten up by someone. You need to realise that you’re not the s***, dude."

The Chelsea star kept relatively calm as the woman continued her vile rant, and at one point asked the woman, "Why are you getting so angry with me? No-one knows."

At the beginning of the row, the American repeatedly yelled at Cole that he "rolled up in here [the bar] thinking “I’m the s***."

After Cole and his crew left she continues to berate Cole "They [Cole and his friends] think they’re f****** cool and they have money, they don’t even know how to tip."

Mario Balotelli takes $300K Ferrari for spin on go-kart track

Mario Balotelli has a reputation for the outrageous and the naughty — a sort of mix between Shaquille O'Neal and Metta World Peace — on and off the pitch.  The soccer star just keeps piling up headlines as fast as he scores goals — sometimes more.

The 22-year-old is well known for his love of go-karting but is forbidden by his contract with AC Milan to drive the mini hot rods because the team is worried he may injure himself.

However to get his Jeff Gordon on — while getting around the go-kart clause — the owners of the track allowed him to take his brand-new $300,000 Ferrari 450 out for a few laps on the high speed course. 



Balotelli turned up at the Pala K karting complex on the outskirts of Milan with a group of friends and he spent almost an hour at the club speeding through the curves and straightaways of the half-mile track in his Ferrari as his pals cheered him on from the stands before they went for a bite to eat.

Balotelli, who had a go-kart track built in the garden of his English home when he was at Manchester City, is a regular at the Pala K centre and would often turn up even while living in Great Britain. 



"Mario is a regular visitor here and would come over even when he was playing in England," said owner Joe Ghiringhelli. "He loves the karts and driving although he said he could never get used to driving in England because over there they drive on the other side of the road.

"We let him take his new Ferrari out on the track and he was roaring around laughing and having fun."



That looks like one cool go-kart track.

Goalkeeper will wear special 'No Entry' gloves if FA Cup final goes to a shootout

Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi showed off his new secret weapon that he believes will help him save Manchester City penalties should the FA Cup 2013 final go to a shootout.

The innovative gloves he will be wearing if the match goes to penalties are designed by equipment specialists Sondico and have a mitten style webbing of the third, fourth and fifth fingers to create a greater area to save shots — he hopes. The gloves even have a "No Entry" symbol on the palm side.



Al Habsi, who has become Wigan's "Cup keeper" in the second half of the season, claims the odd gloves will come in handy during penalties when saving shots is everything — and when catching and handling the ball is less important.

Wigan go into Saturday's final at Wembley Stadium as huge underdogs, although they will be playing in next season's Europa League whatever the outcome because City will qualify for the Champions League.

Al Habsi has seen his game time significantly reduced since the arrival of Joel Robles on-loan from Atletico Madrid, but he is likely to start in the final.

Man City soccer player who did 'two-footed' stamp on opponent's groin faces ban (VIDEO)

Kun Aguero scored the go ahead goal in Manchester City's 2-1 FA win over Chelsea Sunday then topped it off with a vicious two-footed groin-area stomp on Chelsea defender David Luiz. The play gives going up against Arsenal a whole new meaning.

While Man City moves on to the FA final against Wigan, Luiz will be walking bow-legged for a few days.



And Aguero, he faces a three-game ban for the 81st minute stamp — which is even painful to watch.
