Our new feature continues to bookmark the finest sporting banter possible in 140 characters.
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 apparent than in the last transfer window. With this in mind, we're pleased to introduce a new feature that will pick out the best sporting tweets from around the globe each week.

Here's @rioferdy5 opening gambit sent by DM "You fat pr***, u got something to say about me missing a drugs test say it when u see me."
rioferdy5
Are DM's private?! A player + a journo falling out is nothing new but stooping this low speaks volumes of the person your dealing with!
OllieHoltMirror
Funny thing about @rioferdy5 whining about DM is he said almost exactly the same to me in Mixed Zone - in front of a crowd of journalists
rioferdy5
@henrywinter shaun Custis @DiscoMirror etc and you wonder why a lot of players don't trust or speak in depth to journalists....
henrywinter
Apologies to @rioferdy5 & everyone for being late to the debate. Its great for players/journos to exchange views. I wouldn't repeat a DM tho
OllieHoltMirror
Got to love @rioferdy5 whingeing and whining about this DM business. And @henrywinter too, for that matter. Not like it was any big secret.
RobbieSavage8
I'm off the fence! A dm should be kept private in my honest opinion !! That's why it's there!

One other thing about @rioferdy5 and his obsession with fat people. Doesn't the guy own an Italian restaurant? Good job he isn't the maitre d' at Rosso. "Good evening, you fat pr***" might not go down too well.

Sky have just shown the Carlos Tevez interview about Manchester. "There are only two restaurants." What a fool he is sometimes.

Bet Christmas will be fun in the Giggs household. Jeez.

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not. I'm delighted with the result.

For goodness sake, Toadfish Rebecchi would you just listen to Harold? You can't let the pain of the past dictate your entire future.

Wes Brown is the Zeppo Marx of Manchester United. He will not be missed.
Joey7Barton
How much for Henderson?????
PaulHayward_gnm
Andy Carroll, Phil Jones, Jordan Henderson: £71m. England caps between them: 3. Reckon we'll break the £100m barrier for less than 5 caps.

Just to answer some of your tweets. Prefer playing less often in a top team than every game in a poor team. Been there a didn't enjoy it.
piersmorgan
@themichaelowen Did your horse actually run? Or did it get a winner's medal just by turning up in the paddock like its owner?
themichaelowen
@piersmorgan No raw nerve with me mate. My horse won today, got a league medal, beautiful family, another year at M.U (champions) #ecstatic!
OliverKayTimes
Fergie was asked which Barcelona player he'd sign if had a blank cheque. "One of the most stupid questions I've ever heard ... Mascherano"
TigerWoods
Not playing in US Open. Very disappointed. Short-term frustration for long-term gain.
Graeme McDowell
Ginga Ninja that is Paul Scholes retires. Legend. Some great memories. 30 yarder semi final against Barca few years back. #kungfu
