The Premier League has always been the biggest and best
of football – despite what Barca fans might say. The best matches, the
strongest rivalries, and, of course, biggest mouths, can all be found in the
Premiership.
The game might not change much year to year, but that
doesn’t mean it’s not been changing off the pitch. Gone are the days when press
conferences, sports pages, and (occasionally) lad’s mags were the sources of
gossip and player woes – these days all you need to do is go on Twitter.
It’s safe to say the Premier League is a bit twitter mad,
and the players have fully embraced new ways to reach their fans. And complain
about referees.
Of course, with so many big personalities on the pitch,
it begs the question: who’s got the biggest personality online? Well, over at SBo.net they’ve been wondering the same, and
they’ve come up with something that tells us just how much these lads love
twitter. Not only that, but they’ve even got a proper name for it – ‘The Premier League’s Biggest Twits’.
Turns out Yannick Bolasie is the most prolific football
tweeter of last year – sending a massive 474 tweets in the past 12 months. He’s
the only lad of Everton fame in the top 20 tweeters though, which goes to
explain why the Mancunian delegation tweet over twice as much as the Scouse
squads.
Keepers aren’t quite as quiet as you’d think, either –
with 3 of the top 20 being players
between the posts and 717 tweets between them. They also found that Brighton’s
Shane Duffy and Manchester United’s Ander Herrera send as many tweets as each
other – although you’d be forgiven for not wondering that before.
