TWEETS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY ILKAY GUNDOGAN

Today I simply feel fantastic to be finally back in a football match after so many months! #roadtorecovery #gironavcity #mancity #mcfc We can now expect the Manchester City players to all wear ‘Welcome Back’ t-shirts tonight.

TUESDAY MAN UTD

The big question – which limited edition pie flavour should go on sale for our home meeting with Leicester on 26 August? Who says that modern football has lost its soul?

WEDNESDAY JACK WILSHERE

Another step in the right direction. Felt good to be back out there #JW10 Always difficult to know what direction the right one is these days for Wilshere.

THURSDAY VINCENT KOMPANY

I’m in favour of being ruled by ‘reason’ again, however boring it may be. 4/4 The last of the City captain’s four tweets after the Barcelona attacks shows his ability to discuss matters outside football.

FRIDAY THEO WALCOTT

RIP Sir Bruce Forsyth. So sad to hear the news – one of Britain’s greatest entertainers. Sending my thoughts to

his friends and family.

The Arsenal man pays tribute to the great entertainer, who was 61 when Walcott was born.

SATURDAY TONY XIA

@ConorHourihane , well done as you promised! #UTV The Villa owner congratulates the Irish man – and indirectly himself for signing him – after his hat-trick.

SUNDAY ARSENAL FC

Not the result we wanted. Not the result your support deserved. Introducing the new ‘not the result we wanted tweet’ of the week. It’s likely to feature Arsenal more than once.
