Instead of clogging peoples timeline it will be much easier to do my #FF’s in a document so here’s what we will do I will try and put them into little sections to make it user friendly and of course link straight to their twitter accounts.

First things first if you follow me you need to follow my French alternate ego – we have a weekly podcast and tweet all the latest news and gossip from Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and everything else Les Bleus.

NEW FOLLOWS

New people I follow that I think you should too.

PODCAST TEAM

The first people I need to recommend are my fantastic team you need to follow them all.

– Charlie is one of the funniest and most interesting people on twitter, tweets are always gold. He also brings a wealth of knowledge about Scandanavian football to the table. Also follow 

– Gav’s site is one of the most original on the net, his dedication to finding and breaking the latest news and stories is commendable. The hours spent on his research to finding English players abroad doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

– Well Ethan ) no longer soley controls this twitter feed but the increase in staff has meant his site has become huge. Churning out hit piece after hit piece you need to check them out.

– You need to check out Scott’s site, he is constantly coming out with his take on all the burning issues not just presenting the facts but he’ll give you his spin on events which makes it more interesting than most.
