Footballers who really don't need to be on Twitter

unfortunately, he never tweets anything interesting.

Not true - he posted a pic of his shiny new Nike boots recently! Boots that will remain shiny and new, given that he's as likely to get a game as me.
(cue Lennie throwing him into the Berwick tie)

Is he not still in America? (I could check on twitter, I guess)

Wiki says he's at Dundee. I couldn't give one shit tbh.

Twitter says he's in America. Ah well, looks like I'm between the sticks for the big game.

I think it was a short-term loan and he's back again because he wasn't getting a game there either (though I might be thinking of someone else come to think of it), so he seems to have gone on a long holiday to America*. I don't particularly give much of a shit (since he's not even our second-choice keeper) either, tbh.

* google tells me it's actually a USA USA USA squad month-long training thing, but I suspect he's probably not getting a game there either

xpost while I was looking this up. and yes, would rate you over Lucas Zaluska any day. But can you play centre half :-)

I can play right back. Well, I have more functioning knees than Mark Wilson.

Heather Mills McCartney has more functioning knees than Mark Wilson.

Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson has hit out at former Arsenal player Paul Merson, calling him an "alcoholic drug abuser" on Twitter.

The outburst, which has since been deleted from Johnson's Twitter page, was in response to criticism from Merson on Sky Sports show 'Soccer Saturday', as pundits analysed the dismissal of Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager.

Merson said: "He (Hodgson) didn't have the luxury of a budget to spend £18 million on Glen Johnson, who can't defend for toffee, he's had to buy players from Fulham that he knew before.

"I don't think it's the players hanging their head in shame - I don't think they're good enough. Who would take their players if they were to go on sale tomorrow? Glen Johnson wouldn't go anywhere for 18 million quid."

Johnson responded on the social networking site Twitter, writing: "Comments from alcoholic drug abusers are not going to upset me and who is Paul Merson to judge players. He was average at the best of times, the only reason he is on that show is coz (sic) he gambled all his money away. The clown!"

Paul Merson probably asking his PA to google "toilet seat theft jokes" right now.

Know one noes,, KNOW ONE!!

If only Glen's tackling was as hard and his passing as accurate as his assessment of Merson.

Why doesn't he tell twitter about the press gagging order he's got that we're not supposed to no about?

QPR manager Neil Warnock has banned his players from using Twitter to discuss club matters after members of the squad used the micro-blogging site to criticise Blackburn’s El Hadji Diouf.

"Lots of talk about hellychoppers today. Petah Beerdsleep once gave me a lift in a Citron which felt just like a hovergrass."

Jody Morris is on twitter. I'm sorry world.

Jody Morris is quite amusing on Twitter though. Compared to some dull footballers anyway. He does seem a bit obsessed with Tool Academy though.

I have started following loads of sad-sack rubbish SPL footballers. Graham Carey is the dullest man on earth, btw, closely followed by Joe Ledley.

Is Morris really okay? I have never really forgiven him for pissing a genuine talent up the wall and leading that nice young man John Terry astray...

I've got no idea if he's actually OK or not, he seems to just laugh at his old Chelsea mates and talk about Tool Academy all the time, and big up the St Johnstone twitter massive. @morriskid if you want to see for yourself. I only started following him because a mate of mine retweets some of his more amusing comments from time to time.

Agree about the talent-pissing, is weird to see him being average in an average SPL team.

Wasn't Morris accused of being a bit rakey in the dim and distant?

Yeah, that's where it all started going wrong for him iirc.

Booze issues, not sure anything else, though wouldn't really surprise me. He got into a fair few scraps.

Bloody hell, forgotten he'd been at Leeds.

I am also now following Michael Duberry and wallowing in nostalgia for what might have been

Now, where's Andy Myers?

Kristofer

Yeah, I liked that too.

Be sure to check out Michael Duberry's online clothing store for toddlers

Duberry's twitter is really boring, completely obsessed with driving conditions/traffic levels between Perth and Glasgow and the carpark at Braehead (presumably when he's going to Nandos all the time).

btw, I have a mate who spells it Kristefer, which is even worse.

not really that outrageous a habit to associate with the 'travelling community'

Imma try my best to do some damage with the time i'm given! Hopefully we will be winning when i get on!

answer to the thread title: all of them, they train, watch movies, and go to nando's. that's it.

So this is a bit of a match-fixing scandal here huh?

Liverpool prodigy Jonjo Shelvey's Twitter account has been suspended after he posted a picture of his penis. "Apologies for the picture, one of my mates messing around with my phone! Sorry!" tweeted Shelvey, moments before his short social media-horrifying career was prematurely curtailed.

Hope Kenny wasn't following him at the time.

Whoever said "it looks a little too much like him" both otm and lol.

In March 2011, Knight suffered a Twitter-related breakdown, posing various "Before you chat shit ask yourself" questions.

Michael Duberry, Jody Morris and the usually-quite-funny Cillian Sheridan were having a terrible #turnoffs conversation for most of last night, mostly aimed at women who drink pints, play pool, listen to rap and gamble. Mostly also consisting of Duberry RTing all of Sheridans comedy efforts. Filled my entire feed for about two hours as well.

you have to give it him, he's intelligent enough to breath. I love it when normal-blokeism crosses into crypto-paed territory!

If we don’t let you sell your jpeg for less than £200, it’s always worth £200!

maybe you can use them as gambling tokens on one of his virtual racehorses when it proves impossible to sell them, even when you win you lose.

Add it to his other successes.
