So "Monday" 
or even Tuesday
$#@! these papers are full of $#@!.
or even Tuesday$#@! these papers are full of $#@!.
In North America, the news outlets are more or less reliable. Any source that speculates and consistently gets it wrong is mocked. For example, in ice hockey there was this site, "Eklund's Hockey", who got one call right and became an overnight sensation. After a few months it became obvious he was a fraud and the majority of his calls were just him throwing blind darts. The real sources for sports such as TSN, Sportsnet in Canada or ESPN/Fox Sports in the US are somewhat accurate or else it won't be published. So when I have followed hockey rumours usually I'm confident that there is at least something to the article.
I realized very quickly with Football that there are very few accurate sources (maybe the BBC). I have noticed that Italy isn't remotely as bad as England though. Not saying Italian papers are good in terms of accuracy because they're horrible as well. The hit rate is absurdly low. The British papers are comical though. Through Metro, the Daily Mail, etc. Manchester United have been rumoured to buy 1/2 the players who travelled to the world cup this year.
"Manchester United plays audacious bid for x"
"Manchester United temps x with bid for y"
"Manchester United plans sensational bid for x"
"Manchester United dealt a blow in its pursuit of x"'
"X has emerged as a target for Manchester United"
"Manchester to hijack y's bid for x"
"*Insert Current United Manager* handed BILLION pound war chest for X,Y and Z.
It's incredibly annoying. What's the point of reporting news if a paper just uses the same headlines over and over again and just rotates the names of all the big names in football indiscriminately?

That's just cruel to Morata. I wouldn't wish it on anyone to be compared to that turd...
