In what could be a very cool trend for football teams around the world, English professional football club Arsenal F.C held a question and answer session on Twitter.
The football club gathered some of its top players to answer questions posed by fans in what it calls a “live Twitter takeover”. Takeover seems about right given that hashtag in use #ArsenalLive was the top trending topic on Twitter.

Each player, whose identity was kept a secret until the moment they stepped into the “hot seat”, got five minutes to answer questions posed by fans. Some of the players involved included fan favourites such as Tomas Rosicky, Aaron Ramsey and Lukasz Fabianski.
If you missed out on the action, here are some highlights from all the players who took part in the “takeover”.
