Stories in the media linking players

[anny road]

Just an example at a very low level how the media just make stuff up and how it spreads like wildfire and becomes gospel

 

Ste Jordan left Burnley at the end of the season and started searching for a club for next season. Several sides showed interest, Blackpool from the Prem, plus the likes of QPR, Sheff Utd, Leeds, Cardiff, Swansea & Portsmouth.....

 

Anyway he whittled it down to two...Swansea & Portsmouth...despite being the furthest from home, they were the ones he was impressed with so he set up medicals with both

 

Then Sousa left the swans and they pulled out

 

then the following appeared in various media outlets

 

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Crystal-Palace-transfer-news-Stephen-Jordan-s-Eagle-s-move-on-hold-after-freak-road-accident-article517891.html

 

Now he did indeed have an accident...with a dumper truck, and he is a lucky boy.....he got a crack on the forehead and had stitches, he thought his career was over....He could have fractured his skull but he didnt......just shook up and superficial wounds......

 

I spoke to him a couple of days later and asked him about Palace, and he has absolutely no idea where it cane from.....He started getting calls from people saying had he signed for them, and Portsmouth contacted his agent assuming he wasnt now joining them....his agent had nothing to do with it, and neither did Ste.....They contacted Alan Nixon and apparantly he got the story off a Palace Forum!

 

So remember this when you are lapping it up when the reds are linked with players, if they can get caught with Ste J, what are they like with proper players!

 

By the way, he is currently in North America with Pompey on trial with a view to a permament deal

f*** off Gibbo, I am quicker than him

 

Although I could get close to Nando

 

Which is more than Jordan did at Anfield last season

It was decent of him to play Yossi onside for his hattrick as well.

"Nando, Nando... sorry about earlier, hun - I honestly didn't know it was your sock. Anyhoo, sweetie, I've been thinking about a new goal celebration... now, did your English teacher mention the word bukake?"

Didn't the Spurs fans a couple of years ago, make up a completely fictitious transfer rumour, to see if it got knicked by the press, and run with? An low and behold, it did by quite a few

Someone on RAOTL picked a random name and started a rumour about 18 months ago.

 

Got it in the papers.

 

Good effort.

Didier Baptiste story was funny

[The Hitman]

If they can get caught with Ste J, what are they like with proper players!

I'm sure he'll love you for that!

[Walrus]

I'm sure he'll love you for that!

 

Yeah, I f***ing love the fat c***! Anyway, FAO Christian Purslow: if you're reading this, I'm available and willing to sign for you. -xx- Ste J (left back)

Anyone who believes anything written by Alan Nixon deserves to be duped

And he has been offered a contract but he hasnt made his mind up yet......altough I think he will sign.....

[anny road]

He has turned down Pompey to join Sheff Utd

 

He rang Cottrill on Thursday to tell him and he got dogs abuse, apparantly at the end he called him a c*** and put the phone down on Ste

[Stevie H]

heard cotterill on the radio the other day, he sounded like a prize bell. don't blame your mate for not wanting to join that circus.

[aka Dus]

To be honest, while it's interesting to hear about Jordan's story I'd be pretty disappointed if anyone on here thought that that was a surprise or that was how it worked.

 

And where is Rushian anymore? Bloody good poster.
