Another low from the cesspit that is Twitter from...Twitter.
It’s encouraging abuse, something Twitter is supposedly against. I don’t really care, but it’s clear hypocrisy.How is that abuse? Abuse would be personal attacks, not whether he is a very good footballer. He would be delusional if he thought he was actually good.
Well said.Everyone should read Luke Chadwick's interview and learn a thing or two
Jesus.How is that abuse? Abuse would be personal attacks, not whether he is a very good footballer. He would be delusional if he thought he was actually good.
It's bullying and abuseHow is that abuse? Abuse would be personal attacks, not whether he is a very good footballer. He would be delusional if he thought he was actually good.
He's won more trophies than most English players as well.Phil Jones has played over 200 games for Manchester United and 27 for England. What a mug, eh?
As I’ve said in a different post, it’s entirely plausible that it does have a negative impact on him. That much is true. Therefore, fundamentally, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. I don’t condone the Tweet, or anything that is intended to incite hate or derogatory remarks. Not only is the Tweet in question irrelevant, it’s borderline bizarre. What I will say though is that I’m not sure Jones himself would be quite as outraged as some are on his behalf. We’ll never know for sure, as we’d have to know him personally to do so. I understand and take on board what you’re saying though and I appreciate that you’re not alone in your thinking.Slightly naive and idealistic. Of course repeated personal attacks will impact people personally. It doesn't matter if you're Billy the shelf-stacker or a multimillionaire footballer, these things affect us. This doggy-piling stemmed from his facial expressions becoming a meme. There have been far, far worse footballers out there than Phil Jones, but it's his appearance which has led to this, which is really fecking depressing.
I hate the banter style in the first place from most people on Twitter so that’s already annoying to me but yeah, this is nothing except targeting and encouraging abuse.Looking through the tweets they obviously like to have a banter style, but this just encourages harassment and abuse. Pretty stupid stuff.
Yeah I've done this, really poor from them.Everyone should report the tweet for targeted harrasment.
I did. Its literally what it is.Everyone should report the tweet for targeted harrasment.
So you are telling me a pro footballer isn't really good at football?How is that abuse? Abuse would be personal attacks, not whether he is a very good footballer. He would be delusional if he thought he was actually good.
And Katie Hopkins for years...Solid.

The Official Twitter UK account.Ah does anyone have a screenshot? What account did this?
Wait, what?!The Official Twitter UK account.
It reminds me of Nick Hornby discussing Gus Caesar in Gus Caesar.It's so silly that it's widely accepted that being a reserve and not making it at Manchester United means you've failed as a footballer. To even become a top 2-3 tier footballer is a major achievement, vast majority of young lads who train hard don't even get to be considered by teams like Derby County or West Brom let alone get a contract from Man United. This man has played 264 games for one of the biggest clubs in the world, is widely recognized and has played for England numerous times. In terms of 'making it' he has by all means made it as a footballer and been way more successful in his line of work than any random Twitter guy. He's basically top 1% footballer in the world, in any other profession it's deemed huge success.
Come on man.How is that abuse? Abuse would be personal attacks, not whether he is a very good footballer. He would be delusional if he thought he was actually good.
Yeah majority of the tweets are embarrassing.How the feck is the Official Twitter UK account tweeting half the shit it does? Whoever's in charge of it is a Scouser as well judging by the shit they post.
Honestly, it reads like it's being maintained by a 15 year old.
Weirdos.
