Just because Evra thinks he was being abused doesn't mean he was

That's a ridiculous assumption, and doesn't allow for mishearing or misinterpreting, which is exactly what this is.

if that was the case, then all those Norwich fans who chanted "you fat bastard" at Rooney must be racists, since everton fans accused them of saying you "black bastard" clearly nonsense
