Good afternoon where you are.
How depressed are you? Not at all, just a little? Disinclined?
Well, Football FanCast and Caught Offside might help make your mind up for you.
Paulinho to Real Madrid! they cry. Expect they don’t, rather they point to a piece on an Italian website, TuttoMercatoWeb which, even if you don’t speak Italian or can’t be bothered to try translate it, is easy enough to decipher:
Il Real Madrid si prepara al mercato di gennaio, durante il quale le merengues proveranno a rinforzare la formazione di Ancelotti. I blancos cercano un centrocampista e per questo – riporta il tabloid britannico Metro – nel mirino c’è Paulinho del Tottenham, brasiliano ex Corinthians che in passato è stato a lungo corteggiato dall’Inter.
The only problem is, that only Here Is The City bothered to click about and see what The Metro where up to. They couldn’t find a piece in the The Metro. They could only find a briefest of mentions in AS.com, the pro Madrista rag. They were the only ones to report this honestly.
So what is the truth?
If I were to tell you that there existed a man who tragically had been born with a lopsided pubic pineapple on his head, would that give you a clue?
Yes, our old friend Jamie Sanderson has been weaving his unique brand of bowel magic again. There was a mention

Yes, Paulinho was very loosely linked with a move to Real Madrid, but that was before we bought him. He’s only played 6 Premier League games for us and in most quarters regarded as “quite handy.”
Nobody else in the world, aside from this imbecile of course, is even vaguely suggesting that Paulinho is “off” but what makes matters worse, is that so many, quite frankly backward interns for so many sites, don’t bother to check their facts.
