The five stages of Luis Suarez now depressingly familiar to defenders

It’s that time again.

Every year, regular as clockwork; the five stages of Luis Suarez. There is shock, anger, acceptance, belligerence and, finally, resignation.

SHOCK. Seriously, it can’t have happened again can it? There he is, ranting away about how the English papers treat him so badly and won’t ever forget his transgressions and why can’t they leave him alone — then bam! Or snap, or crunch, or whatever onomatopoeic word we use for dangerous fang work nowadays.
