I doubt that would take a couple of hours. Unless you were being sarcastic?
There are two different stories, both getting written up in the dead of night and need editing, as well as the actual hard copies getting edited to fit these story in and potentially completely changing the layout of said hard copy.

It ain't as easy a job as is being made out, and 90 minutes to do all that isn't that bad.

If it is so exclusive, why wait? They bloody announced it on Twitter!

In other words, it's bollocks...
That goes without saying. Guessing precisely what bollocks they come up with is the name of the game here.

The Guardian Inter Bale thread had 393 posts before the actual reveal, though in that case the thread was started only an hour before the reveal vs one and a half hours for this thread. So I think we could break 500 posts before the actual reveal if we really give it our best go.

I'll guess 1 story saying Berba to leave and 1 story saying we'll move for Modric.

They will also want to be the only paper running with them tomorrow, so the later they're put up the better.

Most papers will have already or will be already to send the final copies to print.

Don't sign old players and cast offs
I reckons that if Barton comes on a free, it will mean we have Nasri tied up for January or July, free too of course. Can't quite put that logically, just a feeling.

The Barton announcement came today, I highly doubt that personal terms can be agreed that quickly, even if it started a week or so before the announcement.

2 massive exclusives....now let me guess.....

1. BIG FAT LIE SOME SORT
2. ANOTHER LIE OF SOME SORT

im sick of fecking skysports news thats actually isnt news and of pissin tabloids printing uttercrap and nonsense everyday

If there is an announcement to be made worth listening to it will come from the club and it certainly wont be coming from the daily feckin mirror in the middle of the night.

Is it midnight in any other parts of the world yet? Can they tell us what it is??????
Off-topic but my wife's nan tried to call her aunt when she was living in Belgium to tell her the lottery numbers - she really couldn't get the time difference.

Also, the Grandad saw somebody speaking (in French) to a dog and said "amazing.....dog speaks French".

They deserved each other...

Due to the Mirrors fecking hatred of all things United, I imagine it's something like Hernandez is really injured and one of our best players wants to leave.

I'm sure it will be along the lines of

"fergie in last ditch attempt to bring in Sneijder" - we can exclusively reveal Alex Ferguson and David Gill last night met in an attempt to reach a compromise for the transfer of Wesley 'orang' Sneijder. Our sources have confirmed the next 48 will prove critical and a bid will be officially made tomorrow now the management team are back at carrington, Ferguson is convinced he can get his man for £30 million and hopes he will feature against city next week.

David McDonnell(The Manchester based journalist of Mirror) is usually quite right about us. Got right about Rooney staying, when everyone thought he was leaving.
He's got a few things right, he actually broke the Rooney story as an exclusive long before everyone else got to it. I remember him taking a kicking on his twitter till Fergie came out in that presser.
