Maybe someone who currently or previously lived in the UK? I get so confused trying to determine which ones are reliable and which ones are garbage. Seems like the vast, vast majority are tabloid-equivalents.

Thanks in advance.

They are all crap.

Don't trust anything until you see a picture on the clubs website of someone leaning on stuff.

The Sun is pretty much Gospel

But seriously, pretty much all you have to take with a grain of salt.

The more reliable ones are typically BBC and SkySports. After that, it kind of depends on specific journalists and who they have inside sources with. The Times, the guardian, telegraph, echo, mirror can all be hit or miss sometimes but usually aren't terrible, especially the first couple. And you always have to be aware of when they put out their rumor mill articles which are typically shite and look out for if they're citing other papers that aren't as good sources.

Is there a Twitter translator button like there is for Facebook?

I pay attention to a few key journalist who seem to be dialed in, in regards to LFC... kinda had to wade through tons of bullshite to cut it down to the ones I trust..

DiMarzio and his cronies are pretty reliable.. for general news

You just gotta also remember that all these situation are very fluid and can change from one minute to the next.. so, what may true one minute, may not be the next..

Most of the rags just regurgitate what each others are saying, whether its true or not..

It's not unlike recruiting, you either have the temperament to follow it or not... Some would just prefer to wait until its official, I understand why..

find out the beat writers and such of your favorite club or the local newspapers

for leeds you have phil hay from the yorkshire evening post, adam pope from bbc leeds, simon austin from sky

for all transfers, bbc and sky rumors are usually decent
