My brother insists that Daniel Taylor is biased towards United.
That got me thinking, who do you trust the most (as far as those things go anyway) regarding football news and itk?
Ben Smith is rather good, I always thought Daniel Taylor was decent. Anyone from the Telegraph?

He's achieved a move to the biggest club in the world for the biggest fee ever by virtue of being a good player. He's also won the PFA player of the year twice, that being a personal achievement. You can disagree with that if you want (I do), but you were probably spaffing your knickers over RVP, Henry et al doing the same thing.
And man, that comeback was weak. Weak like Jacky Boy's resolve not to snort half of Colombia up his anus.
Your brother is correct.
My favourite journo is either Barney Ronay, if I'm looking for entertainment, or Tony Barrett, if I'm looking for 100% reliably sourced Merseyside news.

Iniesta is in the 80s, dude. It's safe to say they're fucking clueless.
Joking aside, who cares? There's no science behind it, it's just a popularity contest.
Barzagli, forever forgotten innit Wilbs?
Loving the optimism.
On the bit about young players, the bit about Sterling is true, he is smart in how he rested him at the end of last season. One of my favourite things about Rodgers is that he is not afraid to use younger players. I can also see him giving Ryan McLaughlin and Joao Carlos Teixeira this year, those two are great prospects.
Do you still think Wisdom will go out on loan?
Barney Ronay is hilarious as well
Agree on transfer policy, but us having to wait for someone else to mess up to get top 4 - we do, but the better we play, the less they have to mess up. Everyone who doesn't come 1st has messed up to some extent - just the lower teams mess up more often. Out of our next 6 games I think we can, and should, be taking at least 14 points from them if we want to consider ourselves contenders for the top 4, such is the strength of the competitors.
If we do that, we're in a very good position, and it should hopefully give us confidence to push on and put in good performances in the on paper more difficult games ahead. So those competing with us will have to play very well too if we do that.
I think we have a chance. It'll be difficult, but the chance is there if we don't make silly mistakes.
The official Arsenal website has been updated to add Zelalem and Gnabry to the first team squad, seems to be official confirmation of where they are now.

Just checked them, Barney writes a lot about cricket.
The other two are Liverpool exclusive.
Thanks anyways.

Please help me think of an avatar for Wilbury
It has to be funny but I don't want to make him cry or anything.

Sam Wallace and Johnathon Wilson are good.
If you want someone reliable on MUFC, Mark Ogden is probably the most reliable of all the mainstream journalists.
I think Wisdom depends on Johnson. If Johnson's going to be out for a couple of months then we definitely need Andre. Would love to see him getting consistent minutes in the league though, I rate him really highly. The rumoured Fulham move would be good for him.
God I can't wait for Ryan McLaughlin to break through. Top player and appears a top lad. His technique's fantastic.
Sorry, I didn't know you wanted United-centric ones.
Thought it was just a general 'who are the reliable journos'.
Barney's football stuff is hilarious, you should trawl through his library and give it a read.
If it were up to me he'd be plastered with Brenty.
You can't go wrong with Pogba.
he's an honorary Juve bro anyway
EDIT:
MORGAN FREEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Thierry Henry:
Gareth Bale:
Yes Bale has won a number of individual awards, but football is a team sport and in the grand scheme of things they mean nothing. Just ask Van Persie how he felt winning the PFA and Golden boot awards in his last season with us. Holla at me once Bale's list compares to Henry's then we can talk about making a REAL documentary for him, not some half hour pile of shite about a young mans upbringing and school days.
The documentary should have come after everyone has had the opportunity to see how he gets on in Spain and if he becomes a true sporting legend. Premature ejaculation if you ask me, just like with most other things here with the UK media. If he flops in Spain, that documentary looks more embarrassing than it already is.
Just a question... do you think that the German media are wanking themselves furiously and making documentaries about Ozil now that he's become the most expensive German player in history?
Barzagli <3 classiest motherfucker in the league after Pirlo and carlos estevez
I love that B(ig) B(lack) C(ock), Forza JUVE

Juventus players who are top three in the world in their position: Buffon, Vidal, Pirlo . . . Chiellini.
Yis pricks.
Yis pricks.
Don't think Wisdom will be going out on loan with Johnson injured, but there's still a month left for Football League loans if Johnson gets fit within the month.
Think Ryan McLaughlin could be a top talent. He'd be starting RB for Northern Ireland right now - says a lot for (Russia-slaying) NI - but he's not keen on playing for them, which is a pity.
Not sure about Tex. He must be 21 or thereabouts and missed a year of development through injury, and plays in a position where there's plenty of strength in the first team. I'm not sure whether he has enough to his game to play in a different position.
And Italy beat Russia
Think you could get all 18 points if you don't suffer from complacency and let what you've done so far go to your head.

You know we cannot forgive you, right ?
You also assured me Eriksen would sign for Liverpool.
You're about as detached from reality as your average N5 resident.
Morgan Freeman is worse than Marco Materazzi

Actually Wikipedia just told me that Benfica are the worlds biggest club:

This kid is the real deal IMO. Looks class. I reckon he may get a league debut if we are cruising in a game at some point this season.

Cheers, just followed them on the twitters
Oh it was just that, I was just thinking maybe one of those writes more about football in general.
I'll check Barney's stuff now.
Edit: what's wrong with his titles? flaccid Chelsea? Is that even an okay thing to say?
If you cannot mentally separate having faith in young players and improving their game, and ultimately losing points because you're having to rely on these young players too often, then I don't have time before I eventually plan to sleep to fix this.
There's knowing and trusting what a young player can do, but Rodgers is the first to know that you shouldn't rely on that. As soon as we got the two attacking reinforcements in January Sterling and Suso were back on the periphery, as they should be at such an age.
