I do love how some people add... 12:57 - Jun 8 with 840 viewsOriginalMarkyP

...'My sources tell me'. Or 'According to my source'...

to add a semblence of authenticity to any transfer rumour they post.

It's not Watergate, people. Or Line of Duty for that matter.

Why not just go the whole hog and say Paul Cook was having a cuppa with me like we always do on a Tuesday. I said, 'Who are you going to sign next Paul?', he took a sip out of his paper cup (which is odd, because I had loads of china ones) and said, 'Lovely drop of Darjeeling this, our Mark!...Well, it's not 100% yet but we're going to be signing that lad Pigott from Wimbeldon. Don't tell anyone though!'

'Wouldn't say a word Paul, obvs! Another Hobnob?'...

I think as a minimum standard a name would be good.

Because it's an alternative to getting someone the sack?

Just a thought.

I think you miss the point. I'm saying anyone can say they have a source. And I would guess that the only sources most of the people on here who say 'my sources tell me' have, are HP, Heinz and Soy.

When you do actually have a source, you don't say it. Because that compromises them anyway to people in the know. Espeically on an internet site where you can just search all a member's posts and check out the history of their use of a source. Very easy to establish an identity then if you want to sack someone. People with sources don't feel the need to say they have a source to add weight to their 'leak' because they know it's true.

Imagine my disappointment when according to ALL sources, at about half past ten, those expected, didn't arrive.
