MILNER’S MAGIC...ON AND OFF THE PITCH

I LOVE how James Milner has taken to tweeting and the first one he posted, with him standing in front of an ironing board, was class, as was the picture he uploaded after Liverpool’s win in Rome of a ball striking him in the face. ‘Does anyone know how to get rid of a Champions League logo?’ was a brilliant way to make light of his incredibly unlucky own goal. I have had the odd decent tweet myself in recent times and it’s nice seeing another player having a laugh with it. He also showed his sense of humour when he said after the game that he would celebrate with a Ribena and posed for a picture with ex-Liverpool player Stephen Warnock (left). It is not just his tweeting skills that have impressed: Milner’s form for Liverpool has been excellent. He was the subject of ‘Caught My Eye’ in this column a couple of weeks ago and it is only right that he makes another appearance. His performances for his club in Europe have been impeccable.
