Social network sites landing footballers in trouble is not new news but Twitter as a mode of communication that breaks down traditional barriers between punter, pundits/journalists and players has never been more so omnipresent. Here's the best of the past seven days in 140 characters.
@Joey7Barton
Going officially on record, as saying Lee Dixon is crap, on Motd. Hansen is brilliant. Dixo and Colin Murray are really bad! P45's please
@Joey7Barton

I bet u Kelvin Henry feels like an idiot again today. He should just keep his trap firmly shut. #sundayleagueplayer
@StuffMickSays
Had someone go thru @Joey7Barton's bags in changing rooms. He might quote Nitsche & Orwell but all they found was "The Hungry Caterpillar"
@TheBig_Sam
If there's anyone who can manufacture more beautiful sounds from a lute than Papa Bouba Diop, I'd like to meet them. Just sensational.@jimmycarr

@OllieHoltMirror
Bored of the tired old stuff about @themichaelowen only being at MUFC because of the money. Suspect he could get lot more money elsewhere
@themichaelowen
@OllieHoltMirror Must admit, you get some odd things said on twitter but that has baffled me ever since I joined the twitter club. How can
@themichaelowen
@OllieHoltMirror greed ever be labelled at me? Greed for success maybe but if I wanted money the last place I would of signed for is United.
@themichaelowen
Our fans in stadium 45 mins after game singing their hearts out. When I emerged from dressing room they sang 'you scouse b*****d'! #magic
@henrywinter
Rough poll of tweets: 60-40 against @themichaelowen going to Euros as #eng wild-card. Closer than expected; still enduring respect for Owen

@MikeTyson
I will never get in the ring again. No way, I'm so glad its over. I was a wild man.
@MikeTyson
I bit Evander because I was undisciplined at that moment. I had nothing to lose then. I had no wife, I didn't have my kids.
@PaulHayward_gnm
Gus Poyet: "I go back to Uruguay and youngsters don't believe I played for Chelsea. This Chelsea are worldwide. They say - nah, you didn't."
@Joey7Barton
Am not going to be drawn on PHW's comments, he obviously needs to open a dialogue channel with Wenger, Pat Rice and Steve Rowley......
@Joey7Barton
....I feel I made the right move for me, am very happy at QPR and wish Arsenal, the best of luck. Everything happens for a reason, I believe
@Slash
