The best the social media site has to offer.
Although many footballers have taken to Twitter to boost their own brand, vent their anger, or even occasionally philosophise (we’re looking at you Joey Barton) there are also a number of people out there who give up their time for parody accounts.

These vary in terms of amusement, but for those of you producing the occasional gems we salute you.
Here are the best:
7. @tiredsterling – Tired Sterling
For those of you that missed the overblown “controversy” surrounding Liverpool attacker Raheem Sterling telling Roy Hodgson he was too tired to play for England, you were clearly living under a rock.
So much coverage was given to the supposed incident that this account has popped up, which quite frankly is often dull but does occasionally thrown up something vaguely funny.

6. @brendanrodgrsok – Brendan Rodgers okay
As decent a manager the Northern Irishman undoubtedly is, those of you that saw ‘Being Liverpool’ or even any interview with Rodgers will know the 41-year-old has an uncanny habit of sounding like David Brent and repeating ‘okay’.
This account is in honour of that.
“Roy? Brendan.” “How’s Daniel?” “Injured. And you’re not picking him. The next time you want him? He’ll be injured then too. Okay?”

5. @bruceatwedding – SteveBruceatWeddings
This is as silly as the name suggests, with the whole concept consisting of someone badly superimposing the Hull City boss in wedding pictures. Which is funny not matter what you say.

4. @evilkagawa – Evil Kagawa
A very popular account although the presumably mock Japanese accent is perhaps not the most endearing feature. Yet the fact seemingly nice guy Kagawa is portrayed as an egotistical and deluded show-off can be very funny.
Tonight I read most ridiculous of lie. I read Welbeck scoring 3 goal with own foot!? Go to bed twitter, you drunk!

3. @TheBig_Sam – notBigSam
The best parody accounts do seem to be the ones that can create a whole new persona for a footballing figure that is funny without being able to describe why.
This one that makes West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce into a drug-addled and foul-mouthed maniac is a great example.
Win, lose or draw, Steve Bruce always pops over for a post-game chat with a full roast chicken & a sack full of gravy. He’s different class.

2. @wengerknowsbest – Wenger Knows Best
The Arsenal boss is known for his distrust of journalists – particularly British ones – and is rude to them to the point of refusing to even use their names.
This account may recycle the same joke over and over again, but we still like it.
Am I looking forward to my 65th birthday tomorrow? Well errr, not especially! Will Bouldie give me the bumps 65 times? I hope not.

1. @BoringMilner – Boring James Milner
The best known of all the parody accounts with the Manchester City midfielder himself even bringing it up in interviews and it still makes most people chuckle.
Roy Hodgson said What an exciting half that was. I said Should we sit back & try to consolidate our 2-0 lead? He said Yes. Great idea, James
