Announce anything.

Football fans are an impatient breed so the decision for clubs all over the world to give those supporters direct access to the hotline probably felt like a better idea at the time. Now, if you're frustrated or just greedy, you can go straight to the good folk themselves and list them your demands. So instead of the usual announcements like team line-ups and bland quotes from training, the world of Twitter can be heard and they can dictate what they want announced. https://twitter.com/TaoLShooligan/status/760795866500182018 It's gotten out of hand though - things usually do. During a transfer window, you might as well just not tweet unless you're going to announce a new addition to your club. And we really mean that in the most literal sense possible. https://twitter.com/Ghenedinho/status/755423267608027136 What started off with real fans genuinely asking for light to be shed on certain issues, the 'announce' request became a tool to beat the club over the head with if they even tried to write about anything else on Twitter apart from whatever it was you wanted them to write about. All summer, any update Manchester United had for their fans only sparked more and more fury and incessant replies of 'Announce Pogba'. Now, the whole thing has just spiraled out of control.

Manchester United

Everyone's over Pogba at this stage. https://twitter.com/Mourxnho/status/786928216170790927 The manager isn't that popular anymore either. https://twitter.com/FthMrKlc/status/786139524850126848 Bring me sunshine. https://twitter.com/UnitedPauI/status/785856274923720705 If you know what you want, go out and get it. Mata For the love of God, do not celebrate van Persie's career if you won't acknowledge that he has left first. https://twitter.com/MattInnes0/status/780143521709842432 Oh, just do one. https://twitter.com/ffsRooney/status/777491579816775681

Liverpool

Everyone's over Firmino at this stage. https://twitter.com/Jondanagan/status/786931447236091904 Some people are never happy. https://twitter.com/Carraghxr/status/783228645129199616 But others just get completely carried away. https://twitter.com/_KingEmre/status/780661152728612865 At least some fans are reasonable. https://twitter.com/finallyAlvin/status/780061812322557952 Others... not so much. https://twitter.com/SakhoLad/status/777756374293946368

Arsenal

Everyone's over Mustafi at this stage. https://twitter.com/afcjackk/status/786939057427349505 Predictable. https://twitter.com/Jeffcxc/status/766047302372974593 Unpredictable. https://twitter.com/Djofils/status/770720562159247361 More unpredictable. https://twitter.com/Geff181/status/764260368952750080

Manchester City

The impatience. https://twitter.com/KagoChege_/status/786814789372698624

Tottenham Hotspur

The random. https://twitter.com/Robertvesz/status/786310857529647104

Chelsea

The what the f**k. https://twitter.com/CFCopinion/status/759464916545929216 Call them spoiled, brats, or trolls but cherish them. Because, let's face it, sooner or later, your club declines, the craic stops, you become like Aston Villa and then you don't even have the energy to ask for anything anymore. https://twitter.com/AshLillington/status/777173919757402112 At least we can always rely on United fans. https://twitter.com/VintageAnder/status/767262315356053504 The GAA Hour continues on Wednesdays for the rest of the club season.
