5. Off the Pitch Controversies
Everybody loves a bit of controversy – a bit of frisk between people. Well Premier League footballers have not let us down with the amount of controversies constantly circulated around the tabloids. The dirty deeds of Ryan Giggs, John Terry and Wayne Rooney have been exposed, Mario Balotelli‘s madness was furthermore exploited, and some of the West Ham supporters were shown for their true cowardice.
Premier League football never runs dry of social media hype either. One of the most recent amusing Twitter confrontations, being that of the argument between Sunderland defender Lamine Kone and ex-Sunderland and current West Brom winger James McClean.
After the Sunderland/West Brom game, McClean took to Twitter to praise his team whilst also goading the Sunderland fans and team, Kone replied to this and McClean further replied. This continued for a little while as fans from around the country began to retweet the humorous tweets until James McClean made a comment about the Sunderland’s team’s teeth and Kone chose not to reply, probably realising just how ridiculous McClean sounded.
