Paddy Power have reaffirmed their reputation as the undisputed Kings of Generating Publicity With Controversial Billboards this week with a new effort outside Liverpool's Lime Station.
The Irish bookmaker used a 100-ft digital screen in central Liverpool to imply that an incredibly average Premier League season for Brendan Rogers' side has actually been a good one.
Jamie Carragher should play a role in his last ever Merseyside Derby before he hangs up his boots at the end of the season to become a pundit on Sky Sports.
The veteran Liverpool defender will be just one of the story lines today. Another one will be the mosaic that the Liverpool supporters in the Kop will lift up before the match kicks off to thank Everton supporters for their support regarding the Hillsborough Disaster.
Today is a day to remember the 96 men, women and children who died as a result of the Hillsborough Disaster that occurred 24 years ago today on April 15, 1989.
If you live in the United States, you may want to observe a minute's silence at 10:06am ET, which is 3:06pm BST in the UK, which is the same time 24 years ago when the tragedy began.
Liverpool have confirmed they will hold a minute's silence before Sunday's game against West Ham as a mark of respect for the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster. The Anfield clash with the Hammers is the final home game before the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, which will be the first since the Hillsborough Independent Review published its findings.
With Liverpool in town on Sunday for the FA Cup third round, Mansfield have paid a small tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster by putting the names of the 96 people who died on that tragic day on 96 seats between the home and away fans that will be purposefully left unused during today's game at Field Mill.
Lord Chief Justice orders new inquests into the Hillsborough disaster - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Fresh inquests have been ordered into the deaths of the 96 fans who tragically died during the Hillsborough disaster of 1989.
An application by the Attorney General led to the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, the Lord Judge, has prompted the new inquests after a report suggested that 41 of the 96 fans who died could have been saved.
In an attempt to raise money for the families of the Hillsborough disaster victims and their pursuit of justice, 96 fans got tattooed at a shop in Liverpool. Only one man was brave enough to let Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, who had never tattooed anything in his life prior to this, do the tattooing.
Age-old rivals Liverpool and Manchester United go head-to-head on Super Sunday at Anfield, with both sides having much to prove. The hosts are looking to assert themselves under new boss Brendan Rodgers, whilst the visitors are eager to win back their Premier League title. With revelations over the Hillsborough disaster and a renewal of the race row between Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez in the thoughts ahead of the game, this is set to be an explosive encounter.
Kenny Dalglish will attend Liverpool's match against Manchester United on Sunday to show his support for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster. It will be his first visit to Anfield since his second spell as manager ended with his sacking in May. Dalglish was Liverpool's boss at the time of the 1989 tragedy, in which 96 fans died, and he played a huge part in the club's response, attending dozens of funerals, while also continuing to be a vocal supporter of the campaign for truth and justice.
On this special edition of Radio Cuju, Richard and Ginge discuss the Hillsborough disaster. We tell the story of what happened on that day in April 1989, discuss the finding of the independent panel released this week and the potential aftermath as the truth appears to, at long lost, be coming out.

As I thought to myself last night, it really was a lovely touch.
The last twenty-four hours or so have been rapidly evolving series of watershed moments for the perception of the Hillsborough disaster of 1989. The last cobwebs of doubt have been swept away from the naysayers, and those that might have sought to place the blame for events of that day on anybody other than those that were supposed to be in charge of safety that day.
April 15th, 1989. The most horrific sports related incident in UK history. 96 people died that day in a match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool in a FA Cup semi at Hillsborough Stadium, home of Sheffield Wednesday FC. While it's too long to reprint it all here, below are two links that may make it worth your time: The summary findings The full report download (PDF file) Even if you
The Sun newspaper today published a front page apology for its reporting of the Hillsborough disaster. Under editor Kelvin MacKenzie, The Sun infamously reported 'The Truth' behind the tragedy. An independent panel yesterday found that the claims made in that article that the deaths were caused by drunken Liverpool fans, that supporters had pickpocketed [.
It took more than twenty-three years but the truth finally became public about the Hillsborough disaster today, and its capacity to shock remains as undiminished as ever. The families of those who died, who have fought tooth and nail for the full story to be made public, finally realised their wish today with the release of 450,000 new documents relating to the events of the fifteenth of April 1989, and for many individuals who felt that they might have washed their hand of all of this today will be a rightly uncomfortable day.
Prime minister David Cameron has apologised to the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster and at last given official confirmation that Reds supporters did not cause the deaths. The apology follows the release of thousands of previously unseen government files relating to the 1989 disaster.
On Wednesday, 23 years, four months and 28 days on from the Hillsborough Disaster, the families of those who died hope to hear the truth. At Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, an independent panel led by the Bishop of Liverpool and put together with the purpose of examining evidence withheld for so long, will give its findings to a group of people who have been unable to rest since April 15 1989.
"Come on you reds", "Come on you blues", "There's only 1 team in London", Chants brilliantly sung

Eager to make their rivals Manchester United feel a little less self-conscious about their new
gingham tablecloth kit, Liverpool have unveiled their radical new third kit, which may or may not
have had design input from a UFC fighter.
Though not as horrifically bright as the version that has been the subject of rumors for months,
Liverpool's officially unveiled 2012/13 third kit is primarily purple (officially labeled as
"nighshade," which is a poisonous plant) with orange trim and white shirt sleeves that feature some
kind of tribal design on them.
The launch of the new Liverpool home kit has prompted an angry response from a number of the
families of those killed in the Hillsborough disaster.
The club's home shirt for the 2012-13 season, designed by American company Warrior, was revealed on
Friday.
Fans have welcomed the design, but the decision not to consult some families over the decision to
move the symbol honouring the dead, has angered many.
Twenty-three years ago today, a disaster occurred that would claim ninety-six lives, indelibly
alter the character of one of Britains great sporting institutions and change the face of football
in Britain forever. The Hillsborough disaster of 1989 had an indelible effect on both Liverpool
Football Club and British football in a wider sense, and to mark this years anniversary we have
asked some people for their recollections of that dreadful day.
Steven Gerrard described the criticism directed at Andy Carroll this season as 'nonsense' after the
striker scored Liverpool's winning goal against Everton.
Carroll's performances have been closely scrutinized since he made the move to Anfield from
Newcastle for £35million, but he has always been stoutly defended by manager Kenny Dalglish.

Lord Justice Goldring has today been appointed as the coroner to oversee the new inquests into the Hillsborough disaster. A 23-year battle for justice on behalf of the 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives in April 1989 saw a series of breakthroughs in 2012. The publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report into the tragedy in September laid bare the truth of what happened on that day and prompted an apology to the families by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Kenny Dalglish has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson was one of the first people to offer his help to Liverpool after the Hillsborough disaster.
"When the Hillsborough disaster happened back in 1989, Sir Alex Ferguson was straight on the phone to offer his help in any way he could," Dalglish said.

We live in tumultuous times. It has frequently felt over the last few days, weeks and months as if the edifices of twentieth century Britain are starting to be dismantled, and football is not free from the times being a-changing. When the independent panel released its findings into the Hillsborough disaster of 1989, it felt like a watershed moment.
The summer of unrest has descended upon us, bringing in the usual speculations subdued by delays
in transfer activities, caused by the Euros and worsened by terribly bad weather. There are not
many things worse than getting up on a Saturday morning and realizing that there is no footy and it
is raining outside.

In the end, Chelsea demolished Tottenham 5-1, though it took a series of horrible refereeing
decisions by Martin Atkinson while the game was still close to tilt what had been a largely even
game in their favour. No matter the help they received along the way, it sets up an FA Cup final in
three weeks that will see them face Liverpool for the third time this season, with a fourth match
to come between the cup final and the end of the campaign.
