Aww, the chat between Phil and Gary is quite endearing.
I would recommend the entire fucking Brentford squad ("training done...time to hit westfield") and Boro lad @joebennett27 (who has protected his endless Nandos and FIFA updates)

aye ive a few brentford. niall mcginn of brentford, who used to be at celtic, tweets about nando's about once a week. the holy trifecta is really the cinema, nando's and fifa, with coffee chains getting an honourable mention.

a friend and i actually went to the cinema then nando's today, pretending we were footballers for a day.

My favourite thing about following footballers on Twitter is seeing the deluded ones who believe the people who beg for retweets because footballer X is their favourite footballer. Seriously. No-one in the history of football has ever had Niall McGinn or Cillian Sheridan as their favourite Celtic player, yet every other week you get a "u cud huv been a Celtic legend, u were my fave player, please RT".

i wd rather eat in KFC than Nando's no lie

Well i just found out Nando's actually recently opened their first Dublin branch, perhaps i will go investigate it this weekend. Exciting
― Number None, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:34 (twelve years ago) link
McGinn can't even hack it at Brentford, so the idea of him becoming a Celtic legend is laughable. Our keeper @rleegk has positioned himself as a sort of footballing Alain de Botton, tweeting a load of Clinton Cards 'inspirational' neuro-linguistic bullshit.

'can't hack it @ brentford' isn't necessarily an automatic strikeout in the path to 'celtic legend'

this thread is going to be useful for me in my new endeavour. going to have a twitter called something like "footballers doing things" dedicated to RTing footballers who are going to nando's or the cinema, etc.

you can tell by how they retweet that they actually believe them?

But good gag tho
xposts. if they RT without comment someone who says "please RT because I think you're a legend", I sort of believe they believe it, or at least want to. "look at me, followers, someone thinks I'm a legend!"
― ailsa, Friday, 27 January 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link
I hate when footballers (or slebs in general) give it "I'll give out a RT to my thousandth/millionth/adjust-according-to-Big-Club-status follower" - throwing the plebs a wee bone.
idg asking for RTs either tbh, unless you're trying to punt something or publicise a cause.

However, Pulis is at a loss to understand why Pennant and others would want to use Twitter in the first place.
"The way I've been brought up, I've enough friends and family that I can pick up the phone and talk to them," he added.
"I find it amazing the way these social networks run and people do what they do on them. They're talking to a bunch of Herberts they don't even know, and they are opening themselves up to these Herberts. For me, it is beyond my common sense to do that.
"You have to move with the times, and they [today's players] live in an era where talking via computers is the norm, or becoming the norm. It's very sad in lots of respects.
"But I understand it. I've had to change my ways enormously over my management career to adapt to what people get up to today. But it's still beyond belief that you go on a computer page, or whatever it is, and tell people you are having a cup of tea or coffee somewhere."
