    Give the bloke a break, how do people actually believe these? Not been linked to Chelsea once and all of sudden people read the title and think it's true. Take a look at yourselve rather than dizee.

    Well I think we are all keen on news about players, and we also have a jokes thread.
    I'm never looking to be judgemental, but this post is neither informative nor funny.

    While readers have the option not to open a thread that may not appeal - when there is a misleading title, it is not as easy to decide.

    I will close my contribution to this discussion with the following:

    What if I posted a thread headline:

    BOMB IN WOOLWICH, dozens killed.

    and my sub-text was "during world war two"

    Hopefully, you will see the point I am trying to make.

    Sorry, too many drama queens on here. It was obviously a joke. It's called dry humour

    Not a fan of posts like the one dizzee posted but if you can't see the difference between what he's posted and what you say about posting something about a Bomb in Woolwich then I think it's you who's missing the point.

    Dizzee's post may not have been funny to some but it's a football forum and some need to seriously lighten up!

    Goodness me!

    No wonder we are called trainspotters.

    Lighten up, only live once.

    I suspect the stress felt was easily matched by the good feeling that coursed through your veins when you found out it was a joke! This gets me everytime I open the forum, but it's still funny. Comparing it to a bomb hoax is ridiculous. It's more like Liverpool Sign Bent.

    I can't believe people still fall for these jokes.
