You said 2.5 hours, not 4 hours... Plus, you posted the above post at 10:17, I replied at 10:27 about the 12 to 2pm show. That isn't "5 minutes". I'm fully aware Glasgow is on the wind up. Had it been mentioned on 5Live on Wednesday, it would also be on the BBC Sport website.

Yes, that is quite an apt description of yourself.

We've been through this already... 5Live has regular news/sports updates, it isn't hard or time consuming to find them all and listen to them on iPlayer.

Not mentioned in the regular sports bulletins on that either... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01q1h55/Richard_Bacon_23_01_2013/

Any explanation to the lack of those reports you claimed on Five Live? The Echo weren't reading it from here (that was the whole point of the "game" people on the forum were playing), the story snowballed on Twitter and that is where they got it.

No, as I said... I listened to all the regular sports bulletins in between all the political discussion. Didn't take long.

Just listened to all the sport bulletins in between PMQ's and discussing PMQ's, not one mention of Saints and Firmino Glasgow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01q1h4q/Shelagh_Fogarty_23_01_2013/ Your Pinocchio avatar is quite apt.

Does he? I thought he worked for a local paper that is banned by its local professional club. How do you know if I'd miss it? I don't buy it, they don't have good coverage of Saints and just lift stories from other sources a day later.

I look forward to Glasgow's response.

And to think Dan Kerins took issue with me criticising the poor level "journalism" at the Echo. He offered to show me the offices of the Echo, what was he going to do - show me the Echo monitoring fictitious Twitter rumours started by scamps on this forum!

Go read your Mr Men books.

It is a rumour made up on this forum to see if it would snowball... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?42190-Philipe-Coutinho-Targeted-by-Saints-and-Villa-%8012m&p=1602429#post1602429 It has, and managed to find its way back.

How to break this to you, it is a rumour made up on this forum to see if it would snowball... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?42190-Philipe-Coutinho-Targeted-by-Saints-and-Villa-%8012m&p=1602429#post1602429 It has, and managed to find its way back.

No he isn't, you got that from Twitter and it was a made up rumour started in the Coutinho thread.

Twitter rumours...

Because Blackpool and Palace didn't play on the same dates in that period. For example Tom Ince played for Blackpool on Friday night Sky game on 21st December, Palace played on the 22nd. So I was clearly using Blackpool's fixtures, why would I do that if I didn't think Ince played for Blackpool? Anyway, bored now. Coutinho - Ramirez - Lallana What an attacking midfield behind Lambert that would be!

It was a clear typo, thought I'd try and get away with it with a quick cheeky edit. But failed. Everything else in that post was clearly about Blackpool (fixtures and teammate Matt Phillips), I was reading about Crystal Palace selling Zaha to Man Utd whilst typing and my brain couldn't cope doing two things at once clearly. I am and was always fully aware who Tom Ince plays for. What Turkish overlooks though is he is wrong and Ince played throughout the last 3 months.

So you think I think he plays for Crystal Palace, but decided to list the dates of Blackpool games he played in for what reason? I also said Dubai Phil might be confusing him with his teammate at Blackpool - Matt Phillips. I was fully aware who Tom Ince plays for.

I'll try again... Have you actually read my post? I said he played for Blackpool and then listed the dates of Blackpool games he played in November, December and January. I then said Dubai Phil was confusing him for his teammate at Blackpool Matt Phillips that had a long injury layoff. It is you that is wrong, explain all those games he's played in the last 3 months?

No I didn't.

wtf are you on about? Ignoring the content of my post yet again.

Ince has played in 26 of Blackpool's 28 Championship games this season. In the last 3 months he played in games on... 3rd November, 6th November, 10th November, 17th November, 24th November, 27th November, 1st December, 8th December, 15th December, 21st December, 26th December, 29th December, 1st January, 5th January, 12th January, 15th January, 19th January. As I said, it was Matt Phillips that missed a lot of that time.

How do you know we aren't? As I asked earlier... How much time and effort do you think is involved in merely staying in "transfer talks" for one player?

It was Matt Phillips that was injured, not Tom Ince.
