Is English his primary language?

Not English. His mother tongue is 'Estuary'!

Don't know if this has been posted but it's a good read. I am getting worried, though, I find myself agreeing with the old GPC that I can find a million things to do before I want to 'twitter'!

wobblegob , the gift that keeps on giving , he is one thick bastard , the fact that rag-dyke appointed this prick to the FA commission , confirms the sorry state of our game , if the likes of wobblygob , mills and dyke are advising about our national games future , only proves we are in dire straights.

Please post the article,not just the link.....



Rio Ferdinand’s just-published autobiography follows a classic trick, endemic in footballers’ memoirs, of using an absurdly large font size to make the book appear far more substantial than it really is.


It is a tome ready-made for the attention‑deficit social-media generation, as reflected in an entire chapter devoted to Ferdinand’s Twitter obsession - entitled “5.7 million and counting” - and the fact that even its title #2Sides comes prefaced with a hashtag.


Ferdinand, you see, considers himself something of a trailblazer for those players who treat their smartphones almost as an extra physical appendage. “I like to think I was something of a pioneer in the field!” he writes (or rather, ghost David Winner writes for him).


Trouble is, he admits in virtually the same breath that Twitter can also be a “double-edged sword - if you retaliate or say something, you get fined”. Talk about a danger foretold.


As of Tuesday night Ferdinand had sent more than 14,300 of his beloved tweets, forming a repository of wisdom roughly equivalent in volume to a Dickens novel, with a few extra lashings of inanity. None of them, however, was quite as numb‑skulled as his response on transfer-deadline day to one who dared to doubt his qualities as a Queens Park Rangers centre-back, describing the detractor’s mother as a “sket”.

Many of his followers would not have recognised the word as Jamaican patois for a promiscuous woman. But the Football Association’s decision to charge him with misconduct after dredging up a cursory if crass remark from six weeks ago is one to reaffirm the wisdom of ‘publish and be damned’.

At one level, Ferdinand is guilty of nothing more than chronic naivety. He is desperate, it seems, to use Twitter as a means of reconnecting with his rough-and-ready south-east London roots. And in trying to shatter preconceptions born of the bling, the £30 million Manchester United transfer fee, the white suit, he throws in some of the old vernacular of his Peckham ’hood.

The conflict in his self‑presentation was all too evident at his recent book launch, where Ferdinand gave any number of homespun stories of kicking a ball about with brother Anton on their council estate, despite holding court in London’s shamelessly flashy May Fair Hotel. It is not as if he was not warned about the perils of reaching back into the lexicon of the street.

In 2012 he was fined £45,000 for endorsing a tweet calling a Ashley Cole a “choc ice” - black on the outside, white on the inside - after his England team-mate gave evidence at Anton’s trial against John Terry.

With another fine eminently possible over ‘sket-gate’, Ferdinand faces a straightforward choice: either kick his Twitter addiction, or make his feed as anodyne and platitudinous as Roger Federer’s. Perhaps he can study, too, the example of Leighton Baines, his successor in the England defence, who prefers reading Murakami to these witless witterings. His former manager Sir Alex Ferguson might belong to a different generation but was never so wise as when he argued that there were a million better uses of his players’ time
