About Rumourwhores

Welcome to The Rumourwhore; Blog and forum.

This is the blog (obviously) which houses our entries and news items. Even though I post about Tottenham, we tend to get guest bloggers now and again who contribute to the site, giving everyone a break from my rants about another Tottenham transitional season.

The Message Board is the hub of banter and discussion and the usual tripe of 'my team is better than yours'.

Sign-up, log-in, and join in with the larfs and larks of the disillusioned, the arrogant and the doomed. And yes, we hate Chelsea as good as any other website out there.

So, fancy being a part of this unique community? Of course you do, you slut.

A bit of blurb about the forum......

Rumourwhores began as an exodus of like-minded folk from a rather popular footie forum. Having outgrew that place; we ventured into the wilderness of the Interweb and decided to set up home by creating a new place to laugh at each other’s mis-fortunes.

The idea of calling the place ‘Rumourwhores’ was inspired by the ‘In the Know’ characters who claim to have inside knowledge on football clubs and post their rather cryptic clues of yet to be announced transfers and rumours. Thus leading to countless ‘we are about to sign XXX’ type threads (96.7% of which turn out to be players who nearly joined Spurs) appearing on forums and message boards all over the Internet.

Our Ethos

The net is a wonderful tool for gossip, making the backpages of the tabloids literally yesterdays news. Rumourwhores captures that philosophy and ethos and runs naked through the streets with it.

We know that there are already many football message boards out there. And some of them are pretty good. Others less decent. And others pretty woeful. Not suggesting for a second our board is paved with gold pixels, but our aim is keep the standard here firmly above mid-table and edging towards a Champions League position.

Who are we kidding? The place is a mess.

Sign-up and either indulge with the rest of us degenerates or laugh in our faces.
