Sporting tweets of the week - March 3

Catch up with the best tweets this week from the world of sport, as seen by Todd Nash.

The former Manchester United and England defender revealed his favourite useless football phrases that he'd hear on the pitch during his playing days.

Other gems include 'keep it tight early on' and 'pretend its 0-0' which the Neviller found particularly pointless when his side were 3-0 up and cruising.

All together now: 'It's a small world after all." The midfielder, currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, met up with a Wolves fan in Africa's smallest mainland country.

Guedioura was there representing Algeria, who beat Gambia 2-1 in the qualifiers for next year's Africa Cup of Nations.

Jermaine Grandison and Romaine Sawyers missed the beginning of Town's win over Crawley in front of the Sky cameras on Monday due to traffic on the M6, only for the big defender to come on and change the game after the break.

After the game, his captain shared the rumour that the Grandison had ran the rest of the way to the Greenhous Meadow, with the loanee on his back.

The Aston Villa striker took to Twitter to announce his dismay at being told that he will miss the rest of the season and is unlikely to make the European Championships after rupturing ankle ligaments during Saturday's draw with Wigan.

The injury leaves England looking short up-front for the tournament, with Wayne Rooney suspended for the first two games.

The Arsenal midfielder risked the wrath of his club fans when tweeting his choice for England captain – Spurs player Scott Parker.

Wilshere described him as being "the best English midfielder all season" which would help to explain why Tottenham sit above their rivals in the table – despite a 5-2 mauling at the Emirates last weekend.

The outspoken pundit and Strictly contestant didn't agree with Wilshere though, instead throwing his weight behind Steven Gerrard for captain.

Controversially, he also suggested that the decision to call up Fraizer Campbell alone should be enough to see that Psycho doesn't get the top job full-time.

It was nostalgia time on the QPR midfielder's Twitter feed after England were beaten by Holland with Barton wistfully reminiscing about the days far gone when Wembley was a 'fortress.'

Considering that the defeat was England's first at home since late 2010 and they had beaten Spain there late last year, his tweet did seem a tad over the top.

The Telford fans' favourite tweeted his opinion of the classic British underdog, wondering whether fans in this country loved nearlymen such as Tim Henman because we don't have the guts to want to be the best.

Come on Jon – don't try and tell me you wouldn't cheer on a conference side if they drew Manchester City in the FA Cup with the rest of us.

The Spurs defender, who started his career under Gary Speed at Sheffield United, shared his tribute on Twitter as Wales prepared for a commemorative friendly against Costa Rica on Wednesday night.

The former Wales boss' name was spelled out in the stands and his two sons, Ed and Tommy led the teams out on an emotional night.
