When football clubs brief their players on the dangers of social media, they should really include a separate section on Nickelback, and why you should never tweet about them.
One of the most common internet trends is to mercilessly rip the piss out of the once relevant rock band Nickelback, and also well known is that if you do find guilty pleasure in "How You Remind Me" or the God awful "Photograph", then you keep that information to yourself.
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique broke that golden rule when he posted this:

Pique, like the rest of us, will be left to ponder one of life's great questions... What the hell IS on Joey's head?
