TF are on the list primarily because they have no editorial guidelines to eliminate false rumours or do any deeper research before publishing their news. They didn't 'call' the Heinze / Henry / Robben transfers - other newspapers were speculating even before there was anything concrete and they just reprinted that. And the man utd burden thing? it's not 'official', the official report by MUST isn't out yet (comes out tomorrow). Again lifted from other news sources. Tribal Football works like this:

Is it just me or does www.tribalfootball.com have more reliable news sources than that imagined before? I've noticed quite a few news articles that have propped up in the last few months that have been confirmed through other news agencies a little bit later. Eg - they called the Henry transfer well ahead of time as well as the Robben & Heinze transfer rumours. Just recently they were accurate in the news report about Man Utd's possible debt burden. I'm really not sure about this website so that's why i'm asking other people if they've noticed anything like this as well. Does the status of this website have to be revised or what? What do you guys think? I have question for you guys.

We have an addiction to the drug they have, and we will do anything to get more of it. The next two weeks, are some of the most exciting of the season. The transfer window is closing, and I love to watch who is sneaking around, and counting the change in their pockets !! It's not my fault,... I'm addicted. This is the reason, these sites are full of shit,... because football is full of shit,... and we love it !! If we had any brains, we wouldn't read any of it. It's got us strangers talking about it though !!?? Unfortunately, we are all a part of the big con,… known as football.

Everyone is related to the groundsman of their chosen team, like the fucking groundsman sits in on contract talks.Site for tossers and no doubt ran by tossers.

I often go to www.soccerway.com. It has a lot of rumours & up-to-date news most of which turn out to be correct (Henry/Klose transfer for example) but it seems to me that they are just slightly half-a-step behind the other more accurate websites. Also has a lot of other good features like live scorecards & very, very comprehensive news coverage from all around the football world (not just europe). Let me know what you guys think.
