Hi Eds, you all do great work on here and offer insight and information that we wouldn't normally be privvy too, I've often wondered do you worry or have you encountered about people taking your words and posting them elsewhere claiming to be in the know?

{Ed001's Note - yes. A Mr. Balague once copied and pasted word for words some stuff I posted on the Liverpool pages on his website. I only found out because one of the then Liverpool eds knew one of his ghost writers.}

Ed. Is the information yous come across difficult to obtain or are do the tabloids simply not care about the truth and just want to print what sells more copies?

{Ed001's Note - if it was easy to obtain there would be no newspapers making up stories to get clicks. I work really hard at finding out what I do, not trying to sound conceited, but I am damn good at this.}

No way! Balague the scoundrel! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery maybe but he gets paid a lot of money for what he does and seemingly doesn't do.
Are you able to stop this happening or anything Ed?

{Ed001's Note - no mate, I didn't mind him taking it, it just annoyed me that he never credited me. It was the same when I was first with AVB to Spurs and Sly Spurts jumped on it as 'Sky sources say' when it was only me saying it. It would have done neither of them any harm to admit they got it from me, like they do when it is a newspaper they get the story from.}

It's the only site iv found that cuts through the bullshit. Iv been reading since 2006 when it was one page. Scrolling down for ages waiting to see a United rumour! Some evolution of it since then. Hats off to yous! Have you ever been approached to sell it?

{Ed001's Note - been approached a lot, but always by people offering a couple of hundred quid or similar. Timewasters basically.}

Yeah it must be frustrating for you when no credit is given where it's due when you have done the hard work of finding out.

{Ed001's Note - it is, very. You just have to get on with it though.}

Ed even though you support the wrong red team I give this site 10 out of ten, great information from the Ed's and as you say no bull shit, great banter, great views and some good posters too, another question ed, a page on here for the euros would be good with a bit of live chat, any plans for that mate.

{Ed001's Note - yes, there is a page for it on the main site, football-rumours, and we do intend to run the matchday live chats too.}

So ed001 you can get told something on Abv going to Spurs so you tell the story. Do you seriously believe that you where the only person that was told that story? I get that people copy things word for word from here I have seen it on websites myself but someone else could of been told or found out in a way that wasn't from you.

{Ed001's Note - I know where I got that from that it was not anywhere else nor would it be. At the moment I put it out, SSN and all other outlets were running with Moyes being the favourite and all the bookies had him as odds on favourite, AVB being 25-1. One of the editors went and had a punt at the bookies straight after I posted it up on the site. You can always find the source if you take the time to look. You can trace it back quite easily. I do that a lot to find out where newspapers get info so that I can check its credibility.}
