Instead of rumours we shoukd be called persistent request nuisances
Ed002 is the Oracle
we all seek for Knowledge and honest TR news
Shappy always has great posts
The a few regular posters are mostly condescending lot to new posts that are not labeled Ed
Nobody posts any rumours anymore just ask Ed002 dot com we have become.

Pretty sure I saw Wesley Shneyeda in arrivals at Manchester Airport today when I went to pick my mum and dad up.
Not saying the deal is on, but not one to ever be ruled out.

People get abuse for word of mouth rumours now so people are reluctant. And then we have people handing out post of the day gongs so if you’re not in that side of the argument your ridiculed so there is little wonder i’m afraid.
17 Jun 2024 20:40:05
I wouldn't worry too much about it g nev. Post what you like if the eds see it as OK for posting what do you care what people on here think?
17 Jun 2024 21:05:13
I love the irony of the OP. Condescending ???.
17 Jun 2024 21:14:06
Nev, it's also a banter page, I've taken more than my fair share of pot shots, snipes and ridicule.
Either stand up and be counted, or fold and walk away.
Many of the people who complain about comments made against them on here are the same ones who complain about the "weak mentality" of our players, apparently without realising the irony.
Ultimately I think the world has changed, when these pages started the likes of Romano et. al were still suckling at their mother's teet. Social media is where all the rumours go now, with people trying to make a living out of being supposedly ITK.
Ultimately they seem as credible as the daily rags before them.

When is Nico Gaitan arriving?
18 Jun 2024 00:56:37
This website maybe called rumors but it's more than that. It's a community.
18 Jun 2024 01:43:59
Either Gaitan or Peresic plus Kevin Strootman ?.
18 Jun 2024 05:49:56
Agreed FGIC.
I love everyone in this community (and hate them at the same time)
18 Jun 2024 06:49:51
Some real quality contributions here, so many ‘post of the day’ nominees ?.
18 Jun 2024 09:35:04
Kevin Strootman. What a throwback. My first ever post on here was asking Ed about him years back.
18 Jun 2024 09:35:40
Sneijder?
18 Jun 2024 10:20:31
I remember back back in the day asking about Marcos Senna. He'd have been a good signing. He's probably a little old now, but is the type of midfielder we need this year.
18 Jun 2024 12:00:08
I so badly wanted Strootman to join for no other reason than to stop the rumours!
18 Jun 2024 12:55:46
Senna would have been a brilliant signing. I remember that the club refused to pay an extra 1.5 million for him.
18 Jun 2024 13:06:59
Don't think anything will beat the fabregas stuff! Remember how excited Sydney! Was ?.
18 Jun 2024 13:54:28
Deano. on fibreglass.
I think he will be one of the next great coaches.
18 Jun 2024 14:34:58
Well done me for being a nuisance.
Yep, couldn't agree more, cheers.
You know, according to me, I like Tuesdays. I'm not entirely sure how that info came to light, but I've asked me and I've not yet provided me an answer.
18 Jun 2024 16:15:39
Strootman ended up signing for Summer Bay FC. The manager Alf was a big fan.
18 Jun 2024 22:09:22
The vibe is different… you’re spot on.
I still miss Rainfish Trombone and the penguin guy, what was their name Ngaik or something?!
Always nice to see Sydney! pop up every now again.
Shappy is keeping the old vibe alive but there’s a lot more sniping than there used to be.
Ed001 and 002 are amazing people and thanks for keeping this community going ??❤️.
18 Jun 2024 22:49:26
Sneijder one was the one for me along with Tielemans.
19 Jun 2024 00:26:50
Wow lucky I had my net well done guys amazing as always an yes I love this page and it's members new and new of old
Anyone watch the Portugal Game and how BF played!
19 Jun 2024 03:58:12
Gan strangely wrote about his alter ego ngiak in the 3rd person. Quite a personality.
I think RFT became IAMKLOOT at one point?
Sydney! Used to post as much as Shappy does now. Others of note were The Beast, Moon, JRed, Zee, NoMidfield/ Schmidfield, certain I am missing many more obvious former posters.
Some left in a blaze of glory, some drifted away, some probably still read daily but can't be bothered posting ?
Along with the Ed's it is a great community, an excellent source of information and usually some good banter.
19 Jun 2024 09:56:05
Oh god the beast, he was a nightmare haha. I think no midfield may still post with a different name. So many good posters over the years.
19 Jun 2024 10:01:46
CTR/ ChrisTheRedman, Jono, Honey Badger, Betty Swollocks to name a few others. I've been here until around the time it first started. Literally 1 page of rumours. Around 2002ish? I think.
19 Jun 2024 11:38:53
Supasub,
I joined around 2007 ISH.
19 Jun 2024 13:17:04
Zee. What a guy.
I ended up playing PlayStation with him a few times.
19 Jun 2024 21:13:35
I’m not fully down with young people lingo but I’m assuming playing PlayStation is like Netflix and chill, right?
20 Jun 2024 16:39:34
Some top names from the past there.
Always nice to have a bit of nostalgia.
Thanks Dodgy and Supasub for the additions!
Yeh Gan… I strangely liked his posts. RFT/ Kloot was something else- did anyone work out what their name actually referred to?
20 Jun 2024 20:55:12
I AM KLOOT was a reference to a band and film maybe from memory.
21 Jun 2024 01:07:17
I Am Kloot was a very good band. Bit niche, but very good ?.
