JACK WILSHERE AND FUCKING TWITTER!

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I do worry about Jack off the field and about players who due to ego or lack of judgement think we want to know this drivel.

Imagine! You meet Jack in your local. You think 'wow' it's Jack! You wander over and say, "Hi Jack, how's it going?" And he says, "I went to bed quite early last night and I tried some new cereal for breakfast this morning".
You think, 'What a boring c**t!"
If it's too boring to say it face-to-face, don't put it on Twitter.
Unfortunately you would think that it is only a lack of judgment or oversized ego leading them to this conclusion, but alas players like Wilshere will have an absolute army of fans on twitter, all kissing his arse and "tweeting" him about every "tweet" he posts. They think people care because, unfortunately, this country has a lot of stupid people who do

can't stand celebrity twitter pages, it's just another way of rubbing your fucking nose in and basically saying my life is wonderful and your life is shit


it's like some celeby cúnt saying "i've just had four weeks in Barbados, now flying back in first class, should be landing in 10 minutes according to my rolex then driving my £100k hummer home to my mansion and then finishing it say how's the rest of you folks.

"yeah i am great it's pissing down with ran whilst i am sitting in my council flat, reading your twitter page, whilst eating a bowl of coco pops"

it's like Prince Charles visiting the fucking homeless

Under any circumstance don't read tweets from Jay Emmanuel Thomas, if Wilshere winds you up....

This is the new generation of athlete-fan interaction. Kind of like how 20-40 years ago you might see an Arsenal player down at a pub or something and chat with him briefly (?)

I wouldn't call it egotism, it's just what the younger generation does these days. I don't tweet personally (just for CanadianGunners) but I know many who do.

It's a nice reminder that professional athletes are still humans like you and I. Just ridiculously good at something, and much richer for it :P

Yeah it was JET, my bad. I lump any arsenal players under 20 in together in all honesty I could barely tell you what position they play.

JET is the one with the odd diagonal line of hair and fuck all else yeah?
