This site has room to grow and its aim to do for transfer speculation what snopes.com did for urban legends is noble and necessary. But don't take my word for it – there's only a one-in-five chance I'm telling the truth...

Very interesting site. On the Papers Rumour Accuracy section I see that the Daily Telegraph has the third worst accuracy record (only about 16% of its transfer rumour stories are correct). I read about a survey a few years ago that said that its sister paper, The Sunday Telegraph printed more urban legends per issue than any other paper.
