Updates from important people

We here at thespoiler are committed to bringing you the big breaking Twitter stories. First off, in quite a maudlin post at 8pm last night, Darren Bent admires the England strip from afar:

That all white kit looks so nice

Well if your manager keeps passing over two-goal rival strikers for his MOTM decision, maybe you’ll get back in there DB.

Daniel Gabbidon however, has more pressing things on his mind. As a Welshman, he is more concerned with the England left back’s wife than the England left back. Responding to the stunning news that Cheryl will mime her performance on the weekend’s X Factor (<sigh>), the Gabb issues his response:

Cheryl Cole did anyone really think she was going to humiliate herself by singing live its not in her locker! x

Finally, to our old pal here at thespoiler, Stan Collymore. Watching the Argentina game late last night, Colly tweeted:

It’s funny,when I look at Maradona I can’t think of the cheating,the drugs etc,I just think of the pure footballing genius of the man.weird!

Is Stan the Man trying to subliminally whitewash his own reputation. A magnificent footballer, scorer of some wonderful goals, but how many people will remember him for the ‘other stuff’?

The most search for Prem players on the web

As we sit on the cusp of another Premier League season, the folks at Google have released figures of all their football related searches from the past month. The team above represents the most-searched for Premier League stars on the web based on their positions.

As you can see, most of them have been involved in transfer deals or speculation. David James’ relatively-surprising spot in the side is probably helped by his occasional newspaper columns, and Steven Gerrard can attribute his first team place to his impossibly persuasive legal team.

The most searched team was Liverpool with 16 million hits, then followed Chelsea (13m), Arsenal (9.1m) and Manchester Utd (9m). Bolton were the least searched for side with 250,000 hits.

Understandably, the most popular WAG was Cheryl Cole, and Howard Webb was the referee who earned the most online enquires.
