Social media platform Twitter has extended its character limit to 280, up from the famous 140 figure.
And while some might have their own opinions about it, football clubs didn’t waste the opportunity to get in on all the fun.
Twitter handles of clubs like Manchester City, Barcelona, Tottenham and many others were quick to come out with their reactions and you surely cannot afford to miss out reading them.
With the introduction of #280characters, we are delighted to announce #DaveSaves will be extended to #DavidSaves. pic.twitter.com/S7PNq2Ip0S
