Rio Ferdinand’s tweets are a drizzle of drivel.
But he did come up with a corker, by challenging his followers to name a Premier League boy band!
Here’s mine:
Bad Boy: Joey Barton
Loveable Loonie: Stephen Ireland
Pointless One: Ryan Babel
Sensitive Soul: Theo Walcott
Granny Magnet: Wayne Rooney
Yours?
**********
Indulge me, for a moment.
Imagine Andy Flower as England football manager.
He’s a man with a plan.
Tough, yet touchy-feely.
He gathers the best possible support staff.
He sets standards, but gives his players scope.
He’s faced down Robert Mugabe, so doesn’t panic under pressure.
Were you watching, Fabio?
