Can any of the older posters remember a poster called the seagull? He had many a prophecy on here? Maybe some of the eds may recall him?

I remember the seagull, I was more a fan of Ngiak though!

I remember the old days when it was myself, Sydney, Redfaith, red man, Kloot, etc. posting everyday. Got to be going back 4 or 5 years now though, maybe even longer?!

I'll never forget KLOOT being convinced the Glazers actually had moles on here working for them.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair it is common practice for people like that to employ people to watch relevant sites online and to flame any topic that shows signs of revealing sensitive information, in order to try and get the person revealing info to give away details about themselves or the person who told them their info. }

Im one of them and scholes is defo not coming out of retirement. Ahh the old airport sightings were entertaining, quite like the odd bridgewater hospital sightings and people in for medicals.

I think I joined in near the last years of KLOOT's days on this page. I remember not posting as much because I would be satisfied just watching the rest of you argue and debate between one another!

Used to be addicted to coming on here.

Wow now I feel old. Lol. I remember the days before Kloot was Kloot and was Rainfishtrombone, and when Sneijder being spotted at Bridgewater was a new and exciting rumour. Hell i remember the site before it got changed in to team specific pages, and everyone was debating on the main page. It was chaos back then with far more Liverpool posters, things got quite tasty at times. Suppose that's why the Eds seperated us up. Lol. That must have been 7/8 years ago. Wow time flies.

{Ed001's Note - originally we had to separate things because of the Celtic/Rangers sectarian issues. Both sets of supporters would try and sneak in such nasty vile little comments that we had to find a way to get them away from the rest. That is why we went team specific. Some of the things they seemed to think were ok to use as 'banter' were quite sickening to be honest.}

I've been around the site for about 4/5 years now and some of the rumours and sightings have been hilarious. One thing I have noticed though is that I've actually learned quite a bit from this site.

When I first started posting I was naive and full of football manager optimism. Seeing some of the posts from the Ed's which give you an insight into how the game really works has been one of the 2 best things about this site over that time. The other being some great debates about the side with fans who are very knowledgable.

I didn't realise the problem was with the Rangers/Celtic fans, but i suppose those posts rarely made it onto the page and if they did were soon deleted. Its sad that such bile can make it into the beautiful game.

{Ed001's Note - it is extremely sad, but it is much easier to deal with when they are on their own sites and people know what to look for.}

That's when I first started reading shappy, a few weeks before the page separated, the old home page seemed to be rife with abuse.

I found it one summer looking for rumours when rainfish became kloot and I don't think I have gone a day since without checking on the site. I think the best thing the eds ever did was give people logins, the days when no names used to come on and troll were the worst type of pond life, at least people now have to back up their opinions.

I've been a reading this site since its "football rumours" days. Although not a regular poster, haven't missed a day reading. I remember the xavi rumours from seagull and quite miss ngiak's posts. All in all the page was way better back in day, the quality debates between syd (accused of being a Chelsea fan once 😄) redman, Redfaith, jono, unitedtillidie. etc Hopefully things pick up again.
