Top Class Tweets: #IndieFootyNames
Top Class Tweets: #IndieFootyNames

I have a love/hate relationship with Twitter, but the recent (hipster) trending topic that creates indie football names, or #IndieFootyNames, based on indie artists’ names is brilliant. My personal contribution to the trend was “Arsene Wenger in Helsinki” (instead of Architecture in Helsinki). My favourite “Top Class #IndieFootyNames Tweets” are below. Enjoy!*
