We’ve all seen football clubs’ Twitter Q&As being hijacked by people asking daft questions – but we’re not so used to the troll being the player’s own mum.
That’s what happened to defender Kyle Bartley when Leeds sent the call out for questions from fans.
💬 We're sitting down with #LUFC defender Kyle Bartley for #AskBartley on Thursday afternoon! What do you want us to ask the man himself? pic.twitter.com/SkzsoigcoD

So what did people want to know? What’s it like playing at Elland Road? What’s Garry Monk done to get the Leeds defence playing so well?
No.
@LUFC Why does your phone line always break up after we've been chatting for 10 mins? "mum I'm sorry I can't hear you". #AskBartley 😂🙊😜

We await his response with interest.
In the meantime, here are some of the other questions fans put forward.
@LUFC Would you rather fight a Berardi sized Jansson or a Jansson sized Berardi? #AskBartley

@LUFC when you and Ayling have sleepovers who gets top bunk? #AskBartley

@LUFC have you ever stopped smiling? #AskBartley

All a lot more good-natured than the usual questions, we think you’ll agree. Maybe football fans are getting nicer.
