So after working a near 24-hour shift, and recharging myself with a few hours sleep, I was pretty shocked to see what sort of news had been floating around concerning Newcastle.

The headlines suggested that Steven Taylor was looking to move to Spurs in January. Great, just what we need! But then I had a look at the sources that were peddling and regurgitating the rumour, and calmed down a bit as they can hardly be classed as reliable.

Still, there is no smoke without fire, or so I thought, so I went on a quest to try and fnd out where the rumour started. Yep, you’ve guessed it – The press!

I’ve looked high and low for any form of quote suggeting that Taylor is looking to move to Spurs. I can’t find any. In fact the closest I can find is one article suggesting the Taylor is now more keen to move than ever after making his first-team appearance at the weekend.

Utter bollocks, and an indication that the press are up to their old tricks again! (more…)
