Given all the threads on here recently I thought a few people may not realise that the WUM may be reaching levels we never imagined - it's not difficult to start a rumour so the Palacio could be a rumour designed to back up the previous rumour!
It wouldn't take more than a couple of hours of anyone with a bit of a brain to set up all this. A few minutes on the net researching valencia and deciding on a plausible contact. Spread a few comments over various sites. Add in details like the palacios story then push it as a rumour towards the blogosphere. Just think back to the last spy thriller you saw - a plausible background story for the main character, and the spy always has some kind of test already set up of the "if you don't believe me call blah blah and he'll tell you I'm the real deal".
I'm still hopeful, but let's be realistic - when people sit at home playing world of warcraft hours every day, or pretending to be someone they are not in internet chat rooms it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that they'd get pleasure from using the odd 5 minutes here and there to wind up thousands of people on this board. Do you think you know a city fan who would invest an hour or two if he thought that it would wind up thousands of United fans for weeks on end?
