eFestivals Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) i reckon if she buys Liverpool, there'll be thousands of Scousers trying to get into her box at Anfield. The first line of the Spanish article states Daily Mail so I'm assuming it's coming from them.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2719555/Rihanna-plans-buy-UK-club-sets-football-academy-Barbados.htmlI just love how they've slipped into the middle of the article a video where you can "Watch Rihanna twerk in see-through dress", cos it's relevant to the story, right?

eFestivals Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 and this.....A source told the Daily Star: 'Britain is like a second home to her, although she's also hinted she may do something with an LA team.'Dirty bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Crazy fucking story involving Rihanna coming out of the Spanish media!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20140811/futbol/premier-league/el-club-que-quiere-comprar-rihanna-es-el-liverpool_54412969416.html If your Spanish is a little poor the gist is....................wait for it.................. She wants to buy Liverpool FC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha It truly is the silly season. This is old news, it was shown to be bullshit four days ago on F365: A quick lesson in how to make advert revenue on the internet (hint: it begins with not giving a damn about declining journalism standards). 1) Begin by reading a newspaper other than your own, say, for example, the Daily Star, a publication famed for its accurate and balanced reporting. 2) Take some juicy quotes from a 'source'. How about these: "At first we thought Rihanna's desire to be involved with soccer on a business level would soon blow over. We figured she was still on a high from the World Cup. "But now it's becoming clear she really is serious. She's talking about setting up a football academy in her native Barbados. Then her big dream is to be involved with a UK club. "Britain is like a second home to her, although she's also hinted she may do something with an LA team." 3) Blah, blah, blah, Mr Unnamed Source, with all your details and conjecture. Let's slap a simple headline on this: 'Rihanna plans to buy a UK club after she sets up a football academy in Barbados.' That's it, people don't want to hear that Rihanna might be setting up a football academy in Barbados or that she might be interested in buying a UK club. They want to hear that she definitely is going to do exactly that. 4) The final step: tweet it out. 'Rihanna is planning to buy a football club in the UK.' Boom. Watch those retweets and clicks start piling in. Congratulations kid, you've just made it as a Daily Mail reporter. Now, what do you think of Mesut Ozil? So an unproven and unaccountable 'source' says something non-committal and which cannot be proven in the Star, it gets turned into a story in the Mail and then jumped on by this Spanish site (who given their choice of photo to accompany the story is unlikely to have any higher standards of journalism than the Star or Mail).

pink_triangle Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Im sure he is getting well paid, but I find it a bit disappointing that Reina at 31 (not that old for a keeper) looks content to be a benchwarmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
