Can't prove a thing. Could've been from anyone, really.
Wut? Cross is an arsenal fan, and has been working as an arsenal correspondent for the mirror for over a decade. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opi...with-Arsenal-by-John-Cross-article265137.html

Yes, but this idea that he's being fed information from Arsenal to print about Suarez is completely unfounded.
Suarez sells papers.
We do know what John Cross is a big Arsenal fan. It seems unlikely that he would write all of the shit articles about Suarez without a bit of inside agenda.
He refers to himself as an Arsenal ''expert''.
Either way I genuinely hope you lot crash and burn next season just so I can rub it like a petulant child.
Lolerpool will be back in full flow
He's gone from mine.
Brought in Navas and Benteke. Will probably swap Benteke for Soldado.

Wasn't it you who said United were feeding stories to the papers because it suited their needs?
Hmm.
Yeah, I just went ahead and pulled the trigger as well. Replaced him with Mata and swapped out Dembele for Sessegnon. A Spurs culling. Will re-add Dembele if/when I learn more about this apparent hip injury Usho was talking about recently.
Oh please. Don't blame the club for anything that John Cross decides he wants to write. He's been very critical about Wenger not spending in the past too, did Arsenal ask him to write that as well as part of an agenda?

You conveniently cut out the part before that. Based on what we know it's entirely true.
Keep dreaming. He'll be 10m I bet.
If he's 8, I'll do some tinkering and get rid of Berbasex. Gonna keep Bony.. think he is going to score a bunch.KidA Seven

I have some fan boy picks on mine. Had to get Januzaj on my team.
It's either Hazard or Mata for me. I've gone with Hazard. Dem Penalty kicks (if Lampard doesn't play).
Will probably leave Soldado and Benteke to make room for Rooney, if he moves to Chelsea.
If he's making up all of these stories on his own then he's an even bigger cunt than we knew. I'm going with the opinion that he's being fed info from the club.

SportsBantz is hilarious
Is it sad that I thought these were real quotes until I got to Hoddle's?
Between Salvadora and yourself I can't handle the naivety.
Nobody's saying that 100% of what John Cross writes begins life as a fax from the bowels of Shenley Training Centre. What we are saying, and what does go on in football, is that when football club's internal PR teams want to communicate a message, they do so through well placed and subservient journalists.
John Cross epitomises this. By serving Arsenal football club in this instance he curries favour for himself in another. He also works at an outlet that gives oxygen to such gas, where quantity and the ability to make a splash is valued over fact checking and properly sourced information.
Lastly, contrast everything that John Cross has written during this saga with that of well placed and well respected journalists, one of which used Twitter as a podium to ridicule the man over his 'coverage' and you've got enough grounds to make the suggestion you seem so eager to refute.
Aren't we all though Viv.

Eww, two-teamers are disgusting. I'm not like pulga, I can't handle the heartbreak of supporting two teams.
You can bet your ass Alan Shearer's quote is real.
I'm afraid you're giving me way too much credit.
What's the story with Costa and other Liverpool transfers? Are we going to win the league?
Where are these from? Love the JFK quote.

Sporting´s starting eleven against West Ham :
Boeck, Welder, Mauricio, Rojo, Evaldo, Rinaudo, Adrien, Martins, Capel, Carrillo, Montero
First time on the team for Welder, let see how he does.

SportsBantz on twitter. Fucking hilarious but shit at the same time
Yeah if we did that it would be beyond embarrassing.
To say I would be disappointed if Coutinho is not involved would be an understatement.
As of now:
going all in on the Chelsea - Villa double game week
You have Bony that plays against Bony. Also two Liverpool players.
Bet you're a closet Liverpool fan. That's what happens when you let Brenton touch your face.
Coutinho's less the special sauce and more the entire bun.
Coutinho is Orion, and the rest are his belt.
If you have then I can't think of a way to make Woodward look like even more of a fucking loser.
Oh, wait, yes I can...
That's his significant other?!? Ayre for the next James Bond.If you have then I can't think of a way to make Woodward look like even more of a fucking loser.
Oh, wait, yes I can...
Even though he's a turncoat, I hope Rossi does well for Fiorentina. Would be nice to see him get his career back on track.
I would wager that she's more interested in his check book than anything else.

Balotelli turned into a machine in Serie A
Tony Christmas and Klose are better than everyone anyway. -_-
Normally I would say yes, but he's playing for Viola so #FuckJosephRed.

He also rides a motorcycle maybe she thinks that's cool
Yeah but each transfer is 2 points, and players get 2 points just for playing over 60 minutes I think?
