The BBC's Mark Easton looks back on a momentous hebdomad when the findings of a damning study into the 1989 Hillsborough catastrophe were released. HTTP://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image/62913000/png/_62913509_hillsboroughstill.png
Liverpool FC Finally, vindication. Finally, the truth. Finally, redemption. It doesn't matter if you know the truth, the truth still needs to be known. Scars will not heal, wrongs have not been righted and the lost cannot be found. But finally, Liverpool football club and its family can sleep knowing that the truth has now [.
With Robin Van Persie signing for United joining the likes of Wayne Rooney and the emergence of
Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez must be wondering what's going to happen to him this season?
Now this is only rumour and there is no concrete truth in the story as yet but this is something
that could gather momentum right up until transfer deadline day.
Newly-relegated 2. Bundesliga side Cologne (or 'FC Köln' if you'd prefer) have been forced into
cancelling the contract of Kevin Pezzoni after a prolonged campaign of hate against the 23-year old
defender culminated in a gang of five thugs waited outside his flat, threatening to "beat him dead"
this coming seven months after Pezzoni had his nose broken in a nightclub by a man believed to be a
Cologne fan.
As he drops Javi Martinez and Fernando Llorente from the Athletic Bilbao squad again, Marcelo
Bielsa denies that he has any bad relationships at the club.
The Coach had a falling out with the hierarchy earlier this summer over his decision to publicly
criticise refurbishment work taking place at Athletic's training complex.
Why can't we just accept the truth? by Vinay Hi All, Has the disappointment settled in? Has the
anger subsided? Has the ranting ended or are we still keeping some things in store waiting for
upcoming results? Yes its pretty obvious to make out an Arsenal fan in a crowd, see anyone sulking
and you [..
Everyone with a major news outlet and their mother are now reporting that Clint Dempsey has shown
up at Spurs Lodge to complete a transfer. And now we all know the identity of the London side I've
been telling you all along was watching silently in wait. Truth be told, though... I kinda figured
it was Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal are still "in the market" to try and add "quality players"
to the squad, but he made it quite clear (unless he was being economical with the truth) that he is
NOT looking for any defensive midfielders, which would seem to rule out any bid for Yann M'Vila.
"I'm [.
£23m is a nifty piece of business for a semi to permanently crocked striker who when he can
play healthy scores. The good thing too is that this bit of business was resolved so quickly before
it became a major drag on the season's start.
Truth be told, RVP has been a peripheral figure in Arsenal's recent existence which explains why
his departure doesn't have the same gut wrenching quality as say Cesc Fabregas last year.
Confusion Over RVP by AH There are rumours going around today that Arsenal Captain Robin Van Persie
is set to sign for Manchester United very soon. Whether there is any truth in these rumours is yet
to be known, however one thing is for sure is that Van Persie was in Germany, training with the

I am quite surprised to still find Arsenal supporters who actually believe that van Persie was
serious when he wrote that he was not going to renew his contract because he wanted to go to a club
where he would win trophies.
Although, I am not 100% convinced that he personally wrote or even endorsed the piece that
everyone refers to on the web site that bares his name; I do think on balance that we have to
believe it because, quite simply, he has never denied it.

One of the most difficult things for Arsène Wenger over the last couple of seasons has been
looking over at his bench and asking himself just who he could bring on to change the game.
To be fair to Arsène this wasn't a problem in the early days of his reign he had a first eleven
so much better than the rest of the Premier League that when he turned to his bench he was looking
to give a rest to the players who had already put the game out of sight.

I ask because a reader of untold recently said this, and I had heard it elsewhere. He turned up
doing his commentaries on ESPN during the Far East tour, and a rather eccentric web site (if I
might use that phrase) Arsenal Truth ran [.
Though Ben Olsen (left) will tell you this current 5 matches in 13 days stretch that ends in Rio
Tinto tomorrow night has gone "reasonably" well, truth is DC has stumbled to acquire a mere 5
points in the first 4 matches, so it will take at least a draw at RSL to even make this crucial

Yesterday we saw the departure of Troy Perkins to the Montreal Impact. Truth is, he was a great
player who both really loved the team and the city that we all endear so much. It's for this reason
that he became such a huge fan favorite here in Portland, even if he wasn't the best keeper in
recent months.
Giovani Dos Santos may have turned in some impressive displays at London 2012 but Spurs fans had
seen it all before. The midfielder had consistently produced goals and match winning performances
at international level before returning to Spurs and continuing to disappoint.
A new manager may have watched Gio at the Olympics and decided to give him a run in the team but
stories over the last 48 hours insist that the Mexican is finally on his way – possibly as part
of a deal involving Brazilian international goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
Katie Taylor did the nation of Ireland proud with her gold medallist performance in the London
Olympics, and in truth no-one really came close to beating her. But she could be in for a change of
career? Taylor used to be a football player and made 15 appearances for the Republic of Ireland
women's football [.
There seems to be truth in the reports that Newcastle are still bracing themselves for some bids
coming in this week for some of their top players. Yohan Cabaye top player in action against Spurs
We are hoping that the valuation that Mike Ashley puts on players like Yohan Cabaye, Cheick Tiote
and [.
It's hard to know what the truth is in these transfer markets, because the news a few weeks ago
was that Newcastle had gone in with a bid of around £4M for Brazilian center-back Douglas, who
plays for FC Twente. Douglas no firm bid received for Douglas Douglas has said different things
to the press at different times this summer, and has [.
There's a report in Caughtoffside that Chelsea are preparing a bid of £10M for Newcastle target
Mathieu Debuchy, but we have no idea if this report has any truth to it, but with the news that
Inter-Milan are also preparing a bid for the French International, we wonder what Newcastle's
intentions are for the Lille right back?
The TRUTH is finally out and justice WILL follow. May the 96 Liverpool fans who tragically lost their lives at Hillsbrough rest in peace and may they never walk alone. Always in our hearts & minds.

Ex-Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says the controversial decision to wear t-shirts in support of Luis Suarez following racism allegations against him was not made by him. He claims the decision was made by the players. He told talkSPORT: "I didn't send them out in the T-shirts. The boys decided that themselves.
With the upcoming Cascadia Cup match against the Portland Timbers arch rivals the Seattle
Sounders just over a week away, there are undoubtedly a lot of fans who are placing their remaining
hopes of the season on winning the regional trophy. After all, with the chances of making the play
offs all but mathematically ruled out, there's little else for Timbers fans to get excited for.
If I was asked to describe Nani in a word, then I would say 'Frustrating'. Forget about me, I
think almost every United fan would say that and I don't think I need to tell any of you why we
think so. The game against Everton itself was a perfect example of a typical Nani performance so
irritating at times that I was ready to hurl every solid object that was within my reach at the
telly.
Just two matches into the Ligue 1 season, but our "scenario in which PSG fail miserably this
season" is looking a bit more relevant than anticipated. PSG have only managed two draws -- a 2-2
against Lorient that Zlatan Ibrahimovic saved with a penalty in added time and a 0-0 against
Ajaccio (in which Zlatan did not play due to a foot injury).
On his Saturday radio talk show this past weekend, Stan Collymore quipped, "You've got to spend big
to win big." Ain't that the truth! Or is it, really? Saturday's convincing 5-0 win by Swansea at
Loftus Road was a perfect ...

Vurnon Anita was seen arriving by car at the Benton training headquarters and he was accompanied by
his Italian agent Mino Raiola, who was talking on his cell phone in English of course and Raiola
was slightly shorter than Vurnon, and looked a little bit like Mike Ashley if truth be told [...]
One article has ripped into Chelsea after our performance against City. Here below are some
short extracts from that article so have a read:
The truth is that Chelsea look as if they could do with the start of the season being
delayed by a couple of weeks.

While there is time for Chelsea to get used to life after Didier Drogba, it is
clear that significant issues have to be overcome in the next few weeks.
It's over a year now since Spurs were first linked with Internacional striker and Brazilian
international Leandro Damiao after it was revealed that the club had made an official bid last
summer.
Since then, the 23 year old's stock has risen and his asking price has undoubtedly increased
too.
