    Newspaper win percentages for rumours

    OK

    So, sometimes messageboards get coated off for the % of times they get things right re transfers and the like. Well, I reckon % wise we're more bang on..indeed miles better..than the english press!

    Here are the recent statistics for QPR specific rumours,

    The first number after the paper's name is the number of rumours they've got right, then followed by the total number of rumours they've printed and then their Accuracy.

    The Times 2 3 66.67%

    The Express 4 7 57.14%

    Daily Mail 6 14 42.86%

    Daily Star 7 25 28%

    Daily Mirror 10 42 23.81%

    The Sun 3 16 18.75%

    Telegraph 1 6 16.67%

    N.O.T.W. 1 12 8.33%

    The People 0 2 0%

    I'd say about 10 in 100 rumours on here are correct. The ones that people do get right are those that clutch at straws anyway.

      Probably guesswork.Odds are you will probably get one right in the end,and people will forget all the tons of those you got wrong.
