THE mother of a teenage Hillsborough victim is launching a fresh bid for a new inquest into his death. Kevin Williams, 15, from Formby, was one of 96 people who died in the stadium in 1989. His mother Anne claims she has information not heard at the original inquest which proves her son died needlessly. She is planning to use European law to sup-port her bid. It has always been maintained all the victims were dead or were fatally injured by 3.15pm. But Mrs Williams, 51, claims she has evidence Kevin was alive until 4pm and that with proper care his life could have been saved. Barristers are now preparing a memorial, the official term for a r…

Well, if there's any truth to either of these, it's a start, isn't it? I have to say I fall on the "not convinced and think he's a liability waiting to happen" side of the fence in regard to Traore. And his distribution is terrible.

From the BBC's website: Gerrard faces knee op Gerrard is struggling with knee cartilage damage Luckless Everton goalkeeper Paul Gerrard is to have knee surgery in a bid to clear up a cartilage problem. He is thought to have picked up the injury in training. Manager David Moyes told the club's official website: "Paul is in need of an operation on his knee - he's got a tear in his cartilage. "He'd been on loan at Sheffield United and since he came back, just before Christmas, he's been fine, so he thinks he's damaged it in training." Gerrard made the switch to the Blades back in August. But this injury is the latest major setback to…

Platini calls for debt crackdown Tuesday, 13 January 2004 Players: Edgar Davids Teams: BarcelonaRomaJuventusFrench legend Michel Platini says that big European clubs should be relegated if they continue to run up big debts. The former Juventus man targeted clubs such as Roma and Barcelona who continue to splash out on big-name players despite reportedly running up huge debts. Platini says that European leagues should follow the example of Le Championnat in France - where clubs are relegated if they compile massive debts. "If a team tries to respect the rules and another one makes still more debts, the competition is unbalanced," said Platini. …

I was absolutely incesnsed by that tw*t's comments which admittedly appeared in the other media before they did on .tv. I was all set to be gracious and feel slightly encouraged by his form against Chelsea, not that I was expecting it to last forever. But god, what he came out with basically equated to "If I can convince these mugs to give me another lucrative deal so I can rest back on my laurels and head for Easy Street again, I'll be sorted. Must start reminding people what I can do." It shows nothing but contempt AND YET - the club website prints his comments - Why? The team behind the site must know what fans are going to make of his thoughtlessness. Surely ther…

We need him for the moment as cover but what is the point of having him if GH doesn't think he's good enough for the first team yet? We may aswell send him out on loan where he can get first team football and improve. Jones did a solid job, as I expected he would. But if Luzi can't be trusted to do the same when the top 2 keepers are injured why bother? Is he a long term option to when Dudek leaves so then he and Kirkland will fight for the shirt? If so, we may aswell sell Dudek sooner rather than later because we won't get much for him in a couple of seasons? If he's not going to get a game, when the injury crisis is over he should leave, either on loan if th…

Roux: Cisse Liverpool bound Friday, 09 January 2004 Players: Djibril Cisse Teams: LiverpoolAuxerreAuxerre coach Guy Roux has admitted that star striker Djibril Cisse is set to join Liverpool next summer. The French international was at Liverpool this week to look around the club's training ground and his move to Anfield has been football's worst kept secret. Reds boss Gerard Houllier has made the jet-heeled hit-man his top target for some time and it seems almost certain he will play for Liverpool next season. Roux denied the deal had been finalised, but admitted everything was in place to secure Cisse's arrival on Merseyside. "His transfer ha…

What exactly do people think he would bring to the club? Youve gotta look at what hes acheived. Not much. He hasnt even managed a top club. People will argue Celtic are a big club but the standard of competition they're involved in is piss poor. Add to this the fact O'Neill loves his thuggish players e.g. Hartson, Sutton, Matt Elliott etc. and the long ball to the target man style of play. He'll also insist on bringing his own backroom staff who follow him everywhere which will rip the heart out of the club by losing Thompson, Lee, Rush, Corrigan etc. If we are to replace Houllier surely we must look for a man who has achieved in England, Spain or Ital…

....Robson thinks some of you are muppets too......:whistle: Sir Bobby Savages Houllier Critics Liverpool, Friday January 09 2004 Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson has launched a blistering attack on 'muppets' who have queued up to criticise Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier in recent weeks. The veteran Toon boss has leapt to the defence of his beleaguered Reds counterpart and has suggested that those who have been baying for the Frenchman's blood know nothing about football. Houllier has come under fire from all and sundry, including Liverpool legends, after a dreadful campaign to date and what looks like yet another underachieving season for the Anfield…

Owner Bill Kenwright was already considering a plan put forward by a key figure in Everton's shareholders association in an attempt to raise £15m for the Merseysiders. But it is understood Kenwright is also investigating a shares proposal similar to the mid-90s scheme that revived the fortunes of Scottish giants Celtic. Everton have struggled with massive debts and boss David Moyes admits he will have …
