| Tuesday, 4 February, 2003, 01:41 GMT The back pages ![]() Gerard Houllier is the centre of attention in Tuesday's newspapers as he makes a staunch defence of Steven Gerrard after the England midfielder is banned for three games.
The Daily Star headline echoes Houllier's sentiments with the headline "They're out to get us". And pictures of the Liverpool boss and his player in a snowy Middlesbrough prompt the Sun to describe them as "Out cold". The Mirror opts for the headline "Snowbawl" and reports: "Gerard Houllier was left complaining of a conspiracy against Liverpool." The events at Anfield take the spotlight off Leeds for the first time in several days, although there is more bad news for the Elland Road club. South African defender Lucas Radebe slipped over while putting out his rubbish at the weekend, according to the Daily Mail. The man known as The Chief will consequently miss the chance to return to the side against Gillingham on Tuesday night. The same newspaper is the among the minority in reporting the latest developments in the Zimbabwe saga. Australia's cricketers are apparently ready to refuse to play in the country, potentially heaping more pressure on England to follow suit. The Daily Telegraph details the ECB's move to elect a three-man board to make the final decision on whether England will play in Harare. And more unrest, albeit with a slightly lower profile, is reported in the Telegraph and The Times as the world of bowls is turned upside down. The legendary Margaret Johnston has done a Roy Keane and walked out of the Ireland squad. However, unlike Keane, the 59-year-old feels her team's preparations have been too extreme. | Top Sport Front Page stories now: Links to more Sport Front Page stories are at the foot of the page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
