On the surface, Twitter Q&A sessions are a lovely way for professional footballers to interact with their adoring fans.

Sadly though, they don't always ( / never) go to plan.  For example, we all remember what happened when Jack Wilshere decided to field a few questions earlier in the year. Still, undeterred by this, the good folk behind Tottenham's Twitter account decided that - with the season just around the corner -they'd rope Dele Alli into a Q&A session on Wednesday afternoon. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/763356871952592897 Alli enjoyed a hugely successful 2015/16 and was crowned PFA Young Player of the Year at the end of the season. Unfortunately for him though, he couldn't replicate the form he showed in a Spurs shirt when he reached the European Championships in France. The 20-year-old was part of the England side that were humiliated by Iceland in the last 16 of Euro 16. Predictably, many of those who clocked him doing the Q&A couldn't resist asking him about what happened to him and his international teammates earlier in summer. https://twitter.com/chrisbraiths/status/763397848281022464 https://twitter.com/1886_blog/status/763364334194069504 https://twitter.com/XhakaJack/status/763388470769360897 https://twitter.com/tweetinfox7/status/763385366187544576 https://twitter.com/JohnGhoti/status/763378409867190272 https://twitter.com/DaveSlack73/status/763404443467583488 Football fans: nothing if not predictable. Still at least it wasn't all about the Euros. There was this, for example: https://twitter.com/DarthArse/status/763383462439030784 And also this, from Spurs teammate and Austria international, Kevin Wimmer. https://twitter.com/kevinwimmer27/status/763357607453163520 With his Euro woes behind him, Alli will probably feature in Tottenham's opener at Everton this weekend. thumbnail_SNAPCHATUK
