The top 10 football Twitter moments of 2015

As 2015 draws to a close, we look back at the top 10 Twitter moments this year...

Premature celebrations?

Bournemouth celebrated in style when they all-but guaranteed automatic promotion to the Premier League with victory over Bolton in April.

Eddie Howe's men went three points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough with a game to play - but their vastly superior goal difference meant only defeat to Charlton, a Boro win and a 20-goal swing could deny them a direct route into the top flight.  

However, Charlton were quick to point out they were planning a 19-0 victory to cut Bournemouth's celebrations short! 

What do you mean?

The Republic of Ireland shocked Germany en-route to Euro 2016 qualification, beating the world champions 1-0 in October this year.

How did the players celebrate? By listening to Justin Bieber's 'What Do You Mean?' on the coach journey home, of course.

Watch the video here.

How much?!

Former Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling reportedly turned down a £100,000-a-week contract at Anfield before his exit to Manchester City. 

Stoke striker Jonathon Walters reckons he's worth more! 

Celebration compensation

An Ipswich fan punched a hole in his ceiling after celebrating Paul Anderson's equaliser in the Championship play-off semi-final against rivals Norwich in May this year.

Anderson claimed responsibility for the damage and offered to cover the repair costs himself!

Kick-about, Harry?

If you don't ask, you don't get. A fan posted a letter written by his six-year-old brother, inviting Tottenham striker Harry Kane to have a kick-about. Unfortunately Kane was on England duty at the time. 

Tickets for abuse?

Alan Shearer took the plunge into the world of Twitter in May. The England legend immediately issued a warning: any abuse and he would personally deliver his trolls tickets to watch his struggling former side Newcastle!

Bieber goal fever

A second Justin Bieber-related tweet made it into the top ten. The singer enjoyed reading about how his new album had helped Southend's Ryan Leonard with his finishing in front of goal.

Crouch backfire

A football fan was so certain Chelsea would beat Stoke in the Capital One Cup in October this year, he said he would get a tattoo of Peter Crouch on his backside for his 17th birthday if the Potters won. After helping the Potters to a penalty shootout victory, Crouchy replied...

Heathrow-Arsenal banter

Heathrow Airport joined the Deadline Day drama on September 1, showing any potential Arsenal signings the best way to the Emirates.  

Pique has a chuckle at Real

Gerard Pique posted a tweet appearing to mock Real Madrid's expulsion from the Copa del Rey for fielding ineligible player Denis Cheryshev in December. Real Madrid's Alvaro Arbeloa hit back, accusing Pique of being 'obsessed' with Real.
