Summer pre-season tours mean lots of fluffy content for fans new and old, designed to go deeper into the lives of the players and reveal a side of them you may not normally see during the regular season. Light hearted and entertaining, the Twitter Q&A is a staple on any PR department's communications plan, and on Liverpool's first full day of training in Boston ahead of their match versus Roma, Joe Allen was the start of the show.
You can read the full Q&A here, but for those disinclined to leave this page we'll share some highlights.
On Liverpool's upcoming season, in which he thinks Liverpool can win the league:
"I’m very confident. If we hit the ground running & with our new exciting players, it’s only going to strengthen us" #AskJoeAllen

Finally, an anonymous hero asked the most important question of all: has Wee Joe always been the most wee on his teams?
