Jose Mourinho may be on his way to Chelsea, but could Luka Modric follow the Portuguese to Stamford Bridge? One of the UK’s papers seems to think so. Real Madrid are also looking at Liverpool striker Luis Suarez should they fail to sign Neymar from Santos. There are plenty more interesting rumors in today’s edition of Paper Chase, so click here for all the gossip.
Some things just don’t require an explanation.

If you thought that Manchester United winning their 20th Premier League title would knock Luis Suarez out of the news, you were wrong. Once the Red Devils finished their destruction of Aston Villa to clinch the BPL title, the players broke into celebration. After a fan threw a fake arm onto the pitch, Patrice Evra played along and took a bite out of it.
Clearly, a metaphorical slap in the face to Luis Suarez, who set off the soccer world with his bite in Sunday’s game. For those that don’t recall, Luis Suarez was banned 8 matches in 2011 after he was found guilty of racially abusing Evra.
Fresh off of his fifth Premier League title with Manchester United, it would appear that Patrice Evra got the last laugh.
It seems there is only one way to prevent Liverpool striker Luis Suarez from taking bite-size chunks out of opposition defenders. We at FOX Soccer are becoming increasingly worried by the Uruguayan’s flesh-eating tendencies (remember he did the same thing at Ajax) and don’t think counseling is the answer, so we have taken inspiration from Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs to prevent any further cannibal attacks. Hey Luis, try eating a hearty meal before a game!
You just cannot make this stuff up.
Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of the world, has had a well documented history with biting. In 1997, his infamous rematch fight with Evander Holyfield was ended after he bit Holyfield’s ear twice, causing a piece of his right ear to fall off compeletely.
Fast forward 13 years. In 2010, Luis Suarez was suspended for seven matches after biting an opponent, but that wasn’t enough to grab Iron Mike’s attention. In today’s Liverpool vs. Chelsea match Luis Suarez bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
Tyson has rewarded Suarez’s dedication to his craft with a follow on Twitter. We will stay tuned to see if Suarez returns the favor.

I know Liverpool don’t have as much Money as Chelsea but surely they have enough to feed players before the match…. #Suarez

A Luis Suarez hat trick: goal, deliberate hand ball in the box, deliberate bite of an opponent.

Looks like someone didn’t eat their Wheaties today.
Luis Suarez is doing Luis Suarez things once again. It’s clear as day that he sunk his teeth into Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic’s arm during today’s match. Adding insult to injury, Suarez put in the late equalizer during stoppage time to seal a 2-2 draw.
This isn’t the first time Suarez has taken a bite out of another player. In 2010 with Ajax, Suarez was banned for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bokkal’s shoulder.
What’s next for Suarez - a ban for the rest of the season? Ordered to wear a muzzle?
UPDATE: Suarez’s best Mike Tyson impression did not go unnoticed. Take a look at who just followed Suarez on Twitter.
You’ve been waiting all month, and here they are: the top ten goals of the month of March.
It was definitely a good month of stunning strikes!
Luis Suarez is public enemy number one in many people’s book and the Liverpool striker could be in trouble again judging by these pictures from Uruguay’s 2-0 defeat by Chile in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier. But does anyone out there have the tiniest bit of sympathy when a defender is tugging your shirt so hard he’s almost inside it? We thought so…
