On Wednesday, Chelsea's 3-1 defeat against Napoli was the main topic of discussion for most of the Premier League elite on Twitter. But, they don't all live football 24 hours a day as Shrove Tuesday, The Brits and Rory McIlroy's training regime were all also on the agenda.

West Ham's Ravel Morrison exhibited his inability to grasp the concept of an internet search engine, as he reached out to his followers for the address of his new club's website.

Phil Jones and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain had contrasting experiences of 'Pancake Day' while Michael Owen, Rio Ferdinand and Samir Nasri all watched the Champions League tie.

After watching the performance of the Uruguayan United's Rio Ferdinand complimented the Napoli player, although outlining a potential transfer hurdle.

 

"Who knows west hams official website ?"

"I'm just really looking to build on that performance and get more games under my belt and more goals.
