Twitterman

This made me chuckle.

Summer has always seen footballing rumours spread like bush fires, and in recent years the internet has flung petrol on the flames. But today, with Twitter, they’re moving at the speed of light.
Twitterman believes that every player his club is linked with, no matter how obscure, unobtainable or garbage, is “nailed-on” business. (sound familiar?)
Within minutes of a rogue agent planting the story about his client “being in talks” Twitterman’s Googled him and tweeted his career stats, an analysis of exactly where he’ll fit into the team and the words “GET HIM!!!!”
When that player disappears off the radar he’ll slaughter the club for its inactivity and journalists for supposedly talking up the move, demanding to know “wot da ell’s goin on. GET A GRIP!!!”
Twitterman believes football is like Championship Manager, refusing to comprehend why his club hasn’t snapped up Europe’s top eight players and sold their own worst eight to other mugs by the middle of June, even though there are more attractive clubs than his and everyone’s on holiday.
He moans when his club doesn’t spend (“do ya know how much my season ticket’s gone up? GET A GRIP!!”) and he moans when they spend too much (“£12million for him? Way over da odds.”), even though he’s yet to see what his manager sees in him.
He’ll pass off idle gossip as genuine fact. As in “I’ve heard from someone in da club” when he’s read it on an obscure website called transfertesticles.com, which doesn’t even re-cycle garbage, it just cycles it.
If his club is linked with a British player, Twitterman always has a better foreign wonderkid up his sleeve and will post his YouTube best bits collection as proof, even though you could put together one of Bebe and make him look like Messi (someone already did) .
Remarkably, they even know what price this wonderkid is available for and what salary he wants.
And he’ll bolster his belief as to why his club should swoop for Sergio Flashinthepannio by damning the British player with the ultimate in football research: “Had im in my fantasy team 2 yrs ago + he’s never fit. Cost me big time.”

Lads, I know you mean well, but GET A GRIP!!
The European transfer window’s been open for one whole day and has two months to run. Oh, and your club probably hasn’t got half the money to spend that you’ve “been led to believe” by “sources” that it has.
Walk to the park, watch the cricket or go and honk your support for striking teachers.
If you must tweet about football, tweet about how you’d improve the game next season (banning teams from playing music after goals and pundits from repeating the word top after top etc..).
Or sit in the garden and pick your Fantasy League team....Just don’t confuse it with your real one.
