How reliable is 'VG' ?

About as reliable as The Mirror

Thanks, so the squad is back in Liverpool at the moment...

[Morph]

yep left Portugal on Friday I believe

[anfieldanfield]

Yep!

Yet another load of bollox written about us, just days before another big game!

Do people genuinely believe all this is merely a 'load of bollocks' ?

I admit the story is probably vastly exaggerated, but even so, I think there must be an element of truth to it.

So they have been back here since Friday and no one has even heard a whisper of anything apart from some paper in Portugal?

The Hotel manager Graham Stuart have now said that the only broken thing is a vine glass and that the english papers have taken what the portuguise papers have said and added some extra spicey material. He also said that he don't know if the incident with the golf club is true or not because the place where the players stayed is 100 metres from the hotel.

Personally, yes, I do believe it's crap, simply because it's a "Same ****, different day" scenario.

This kind of crap (press spouting ****e about us), comes up everytime we have a big game coming up.

So for that reason, I'll choose to say it's bull****.

If, however, it is true, I'll be devastated.

But at this time, I'm giving the players the benefit of the doubt

So right now the incident in the hotel didn't happen, more or less confirmed, and the the golf club incident still is a mystery.

A lad on SCM said the Norway national boss has just been on the tele saying Riise is 'ok' but that *something* did happen.

AF it's a story designed to sell newspapers. It's a story where the gullible members of the public think "Well it's in a newspaper so it must be true". It's a story that mentions the three Liverpool "bad boys" in an attempt to make it credible. Judging by the reaction of some people on the net it worked.

The worst that could happen now is that Bellamy will be kicked out IMO and that is a lot better than it looked a few hours ago.

I know. I just report when their is quotes from some people that have seen what happened, like the hotel manager or talked to one of the players, like Riise's advisor.
