Got this mailshot for MP Tom Watson
Ed Miliband calls really early. Too early. These days I have to set my alarm for 6am in order to be fully awake before he starts chasing me.
Before Ed's calls, I listen to the depressing daily news on the Today programme. Unemployment sky rocketing, the economy flat-lining, more arrests at News International.

The owners of the five-team Women's Professional Soccer have voted to suspend the 2012 season, citing the costs associated with the legal wranglings involving magicJack owner Dan Borislow as the primary culprit. A formal announcement is set for Monday at 1pm ET.

In a league issued e-mail that was sent to the players on Monday morning, the owners attempted to find a way to circumvent costs of the lawsuit, but ultimately, could not find a way.

"Jurr Curl's scurred a gurl"

Those good people over at hirsute charity Movember have started a petition to get four 80s sporting heroes and one-time top-lip topiary aficionados namely Nigel Mansell, Barry McGuigan, Ian Botham and Mark Lawrenson to re-grow their resplendent Mo's for charity next month.

For over 20 years, Anne Williams has fought in vain for a new inquest into the death of her son Kevin, who was one of 96 Liverpool football fans killed in the Hillsborough stadium disaster. Anne believes the original inquest into Kevin's death was 'riddled with corruption', and that 'vital evidence' was suppressed.

Why the Hillsborough files must be released under FOI

SHORTLY after the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough an independent panel was set up to work on the release of official documents relating to the disaster. This panel continues to work through the documentation to prepare it for release, the release to be accompanied by a report detailing how the information "adds to the public understanding of the tragedy and its aftermath".

Why Tory Hillsborough documents must be released before Thatcher dies

I've lost count of the number of people I've heard these past 22 years ask why the Hillsborough Families won't let it lie. Move on, you can't bring back your loved ones, so let it go, they say. I heard it again this week after a 140,00-strong petition compelled parliament to debate whether documents relating to Margaret Thatcher's handling of the 1989 disaster should be released uncensored.

MPs to debate release of Hillsborough cabinet papers

• Debate conceded after petition reached 138,000 signatures • Papers will be released next spring Parliament will debate the issues around the release of cabinet minutes relating to the Hillsborough tragedy next month, it has been confirmed, after an e-petition calling for their release reached more than 138,000 signatures.

The Government is 'happy' for all documents relating to the Hillsborough disaster to be released, the Cabinet Office said on Wednesday. Ministers previously failed to officially support calls for all reports to be made public.

Hillsborough disaster cabinet papers to be released

E-petition with more than 125,000 signatures forces government to clarify position over whether documents will be made public The government has promised to release all cabinet papers relating to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster to the public once they have been shared with families of the deceased, after being forced to clarify its position by an e-petition that has reached more than 125,000 signatures .

Hillsborough e-petition sails past 100k – now contact your MP

The response to the e-petition urging the government to release Hillsborough documents requested in a Freedom of Information request was both overwhelming and a huge boost to all those who have been fighting for the truth for 22 years.

When it comes to managing the football side of things, who is the most important person at Anfield? Obviously, the answer is Kenny Dalglish, and I'm sure every fan would agree. However, according to Liverpool's official website, Damien Commolli is (seemingly) top dog at Anfield.
I was browsing the LFC website earlier and came across the following on the 'First Team' page:
As you can see, Commolli's name comes before Dalglish's in the managerial hierarchy, which is clearly in order of importance.

On On April 15 1989 24,000 Liverpool fans travelled to watch an FA Cup Semi Final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough, the home of Sheffield Wednesday, 766 were injured on the day and 96 of them were never to return.

This is a sincere request to anyone reading, Liverpool fan or not. You may have read on Twitter or seen in the news this week that the government are going to appeal against a ruling to release the documents and minutes from the meetings with Margaret Thatcher after the Hillsborough disaster. Not only is it despicable that they are even trying to keep these documents a secret, it is sickening

HJC praise "overwhelming support" for disclosure of Hillsborough files

AN e-petition calling for "Full disclosure of all government documents relating to 1989 Hillsborough disaster" has received much publicity in recent days and at the time of writing had received over 77,000 signatures.

In a recent decision welcomed by all Liverpool fans, and football fans in general, the Information Commissioner ruled that full disclosure of all documents relating to the Hillsborough disaster would be in the public interest. This is inarguably correct, and any fair-minded individual would surely agree.

Right, starting Friday off with the most important bit if you live in the UK and happen to have missed the petition going around for full release of all documents pertaining to Hillsborough, please hit the link to sign up and lend your name to the cause. Those of us outside the UK can only support from afar and get the word out; Chris from Paisley Gates alerted us to the fact that the Hillsborough Justice Campaign has asked that only legal UK residents take part, as names with fake addresses will only weaken the petition.

More than twenty years on from the Hillsborough disaster and still, it seems, attempts will be made to deny those who most need the truth the access they demand and deserve.
The BBC reports:
"The government is appealing against an order to release cabinet discussions from the aftermath of the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster.

Just no

You simply cannot beat the transfer window for laughs.

Michael Essien's apparent season-ending knee injury I say apparent because we know nothing for certain yet has sent the tabloids into a frenzy. It's to be expected, really. We've been linked with every midfielder in the known world, including Scott fucking Parker.

Late Sunday, CONCACAF announced that the Gold Cup organizing committee will allow Mexico to call in five players to replace those suspended for testing positive for a banned substance. The following is the official press statement. NEW YORK (Sunday, June 19, 2011) – The CONCACAF Gold Cup Organizing Committee today evaluated the petition from the Federacion Mexicana de Futbol to replace five players on its 23-man competition roster who had been separated from the National.

- After claiming he wanted to spend the rest of his career at Manchester United, Carlos Tevez left the club whose badge he used to kiss to join Manchester City.

- Despite being given the captaincy at City, Tevez handed in a transfer request less than 18 months at the club.

- After repeatedly claiming he was unhappy because he was so far away from his family, City gave him time off to visit them.

A two-way debate about re-introducing standing room at English football grounds has raged since ever since all seater stadiums were introduced, and both sides of have strong, well developed arguments to back them up. However, the unfortunate reality is that much of the debate is rendered invalid by the simple maxim: money talks.

Chidge and the boys discuss the Stoke result and look forward to the quarter final Big Cup tie against Man USA. The weekly ‘Fannies' are awarded, a terrace song or two belted out and wee Pat Nevin is this week's DLBIA!
All in all a frustrating day in the Potteries where we could have won 3-1 but equally could have lost 3-1!

The Football Supporters' Federation has launched a petition – visit www.fsf.org.uk/safestanding as part of our campaign for the introduction of safe standing areas in the top two divisions in England and Wales. We know some of you might think that signing a petition is a bit of a futile gesture, but the timing for the campaign is crucial.

Kenny Dalglish has backed the Premier League's refusal to support a Football Fans Federation bid to reintroduce standing areas at football grounds.
The FSF launched a petition for safe standing last week.
The Federation, which represents more than 180,000 and affiliates, are presenting the petition to Government and football authorities.

Supporters' Online Petition - SAVE LEYTON ORIENT FOOTBALL CLUB
We the undersigned urge the government and Mayor of London's office to help Save Leyton Orient Football Club by reconsidering their endorsement of West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium. Premier League and Football League rules on ground moves clearly state a move should not "adversely affect Clubs (or Football League clubs) having their registered grounds in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location".

Truth, the way it is.

Sums it up, real nice. (courtesy @AFCArmChairBoss)
