Sorry for being offtopic, but I have a question for those living in England - every day I'm reading all kind of tweets and quotes and so on. Can you please name the most reliable newspapers/sources from English media? A top5 maybe?

Abou rags like the mirror, mail, sun and star....

I'd go in this order:

The Guardian

BBC

Sky Sports

The Times

Independent

Some hack journo writing for the Guardian just suggested Moyes should ask for both Mata AND Luiz in a straight swap deal for Rooney. Went on to say that it could be a good deal for everyone. And these people actually get paid to write this shit? <_<

If we really wanted to get rid of Mata and Luiz, we could easily sell them to Real Madrid, Barcelona or PSG in a blink of an eye for £60m combined and then use half of that money to buy Rooney without giving one of our main title rivals some of the best players in the league in exchange. But why the fuck would we do that either when we can keep both of them and still buy Rooney, it's not like the club are in a desperate need for money and the idea is not to buy a player just for the sake of buying but instead because Mourinho wants to improve the team.

I'm sorry mate but you have completely lost the plot here, I get the impression you are quite angry too.

Rooney is English, can play more than one position and is bloody good at it, that's why buying him makes sense.

I will look forward to your response full of swear words, angry retorts and dismissive quotes....Oh and if you want you can shot a load of smilies in their too.

Listen mate, you were the one who asked me 'do you know anything about football?' on a footballing forum, so don't expect hugs and kisses as a response.

Anyway, we were first discussing Moyes stance of 'he's not for sale' and that Rooney needs to hand in a transfer request. You said that the way Moyes was carrying on was a disgrace and that Rooney had already handed in a transfer request.

I said Moyes is acting the way he is to test Rooney's resolve to stay at the club or the get the most out of him if he wants to leave. Which makes it spot on behaviour to be honest. I also said that this would force him to hand in a transfer request to which would forfeit any bonus he may receive.

Now both of my views, as opposed to yours, were confirmed the very next day:

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8827602/Transfer-news-Chelsea-have-a-bid-for-Wayne-Rooney-turned-down

"Manchester United told them to go away rather abruptly and told them also that Wayne Rooney is not for sale. That's the mantra the club have been sticking to since this situation began.

"If they want to get rid of the player, they want to make sure that his value is protected and, by saying he is not for sale, it means the games can begin."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/17/wayne-rooney-manchester-united-transfer-request

Manchester United are playing hardball with Wayne Rooney over his future, with the striker having to lodge an official transfer request if he wants to leave the club. United are unmoved regarding their position that the striker is not for sale.

So if anyone was talking out of their arse, it's you. Therefore I'd rather not read your posts anymore. Now go put me on ignore and i'll happily do the same. :)

Shall we talk more about shirt numbers? We aint discussed enough of it yet.

He can take Torres' #9.

Give Torres a # in the 80's to send him the message that he isn't wanted. :)

Oh look, ignore the football and attack me. No surprise there then since you were wrong.

Go talk to yourself about non-footballing matters, I won't derail the thread.

Chelsea goalkeepers Mark Schwarzer and Petr Cech have admitted Wayne Rooney would be a world-class signing for the club.

LOL, I'm sure i know why Cech wants him.. No more low, hard shots to the bottom corners that no keeper can save...

The Guardian

BBC

Sky Sports

The Times

Independent

Trust absolutely nothing until it's officially reported on Sky Sports News. Don't mistake Sky Sports News rumours for deals being confirmed.

The rest are all rumours built on events.

Generally, the most reliable papers/sites tend to be the BBC/Sky Sports - But they only tend to report on stuff when it is 99.9% done.

(EDIT: Having said this, the BBC are in serious decline with their standards of sports journalism, not just in football but F1 etc.)

Then come the papers such as the Telegraph, Guardian, Times and Sunday Times which are more reputable than the likes of the Sun, Metro, Star, Express, Daily Mail etc.. which, quite honestly, I would not use for toilet paper.

Though, most of these papers have 'gossip' or 'rumour' sections which they will use to post far-fetched transfer rumours or just re-hash another story from a different paper - bottom line is take everything with a pinch of salt.

A top 6, in no particular order.

1. BBC

2. Sky Sports

3. The Independent

4. The Telegraph

5. The Guardian

6. The Times

Thank you, guys, I really appreciate it!

Number 8 should be reitred

1-11 numbers should never be retired, only small clubs retire them.

Football clubs are eternal, they will live on until the sun destroys the earth, Lampard is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
