Of course most of the gossip is nonsense, but some of it
is true. We at Goal Flashers merely report what has already
been written in the papers and are in no way associated with
the articles as they appear when we see them. You will notice,
however, that we do enjoy speculating on the stories as much
as you do. Ours and your comments
are highlighted in green.
If you have a comment about a story which appears here, we
would love to hear from you. Simply fill in the feedback
