Twit of the Day
There isn’t many footballers worth following on Twitter. Cristiano Ronaldo’s page feel like it’s been vetted extensively by his Nike handlers to ensure he always has nothing of interest to say, while Darren Bent’s account is always one chairman-insulting tweet away from being closed down once more. Thank the gods then, for Ryan Babel, Liverpool’s Dutch misfiring forward.
Evidently a hip hop fan, a bored Babel spent much of last night trying to send messages to artists such as ‘Lil Bow Wow, Ryan Leslie and the big-bottomed ‘video vixen’, Amber Rose, ex of Kanye West. After sending multiple tweets that included Amber’s account address (@darealamberrose), Ryan resigned himself to failure:
“Mmm nahh .. i give up.. dont think @darealamberrose is gonna find my tweet !!! sigh..”
A few minutes later Amber replied directly to player with a simple ‘Hey baby! :-)’. The two continued a back-and-forth flirtation as we at JOE willed the player to do what he struggles so hard at Anfield – score. Sadly, we haven’t heard a peep from Ryan this morning but he’s already turning into the most entertaining football twitterer by far. You can follow the player here.
