Leeds United’s recently arrived on-loan midfielder Barry Bannan has wasted no time in joining new teammates Sanchez Watt, Lloyd Sam, Andy O’Brien, Mike Grella, Neil Kilkenny and the highly irritable Kasper “Bore Off!” Schmeichel on social-networking/bullshitting website Twitter (ahem; my profile can be found here), opening up another insight into the fascinating life of a footballer for the edification of us mere mortals.
