Reading between the lines

YOUR SHOUT

I READ this week that Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere features in a poll of footballers who use bad vocabulary when posting on one of the social networking sites. 

Um, isn’t that the point? 

Twitter gives you all of 140 characters to use.

So I don’t think there’s much room to quote William Shakespeare! 

Besides, players with as much talent as Wilshere just let their feet do all the real talking. 

Of course, sometimes it’s the silence that makes the loudest noise, just ask Samir Nasri. 

While he hasn’t actually come out and said he wants to join Manchester United, his failure to rule out a possible move to Old Trafford is starting to create a stench in north London. 

The latest reports quoted the French midfielder on Twitter telling fans “not to listen” to the rumours and that he would “let you know if something happens”.

Even with only 140 characters he could have squeezed in: United please come and sign me, I’ve already packed my suitcase and ordered a taxi.
