On a lighter note, Lucas Leiva led calls for Pepe Reina to join Twitter by urging fans to follow Jon Flanagan. It seems that the Spaniard has made a pact with Flanno that if the full-back reaches 150,000 followers, he will start Tweeting. Last time we checked Flanagan had over 90,000.
Lets follow @jon_flan93. If he gets 150 thousand followers Pepe is going to join Twitter . Yesssss laddddds instagr.am/p/P_5WK3gTHQ/

Besides trying to convince Reina to join Twitter, Flanagan found himself on the receiving end of some cutting changing room banter.
Got out the shower in footy to find that my boxies we're stolen an my socks we're cut! #poorbanter yfrog.com/h2ycuxsdj
