Ashley Cole became the latest player to fall foul of the FA over twitter use this week, when the vile left-back’s well-thought-through quip describing English football’s governing body as a “bunch of twats” was retweeted 19,000 times.
CaughtOffside takes a look at the top ten twitter gaffes made by the Premier League’s finest.
Haha at Pachecho "Good luck Negrito" Joey Barton isn't opinionated, just an attention-whore. Carlton Cole is a classless moron
I can tell this without reading that Joey Barton made the list.
Stopped reading after Pacheco's synopsis. Whoever wrote the article is a moron. Suarez did not call Evra a negro. He called him negrito, which is the same word that Pacheco called his mate Glen Johnson. In his culture and his language, this is NOT a fucking offensive term. When will the English press get it through their thick xenophobic skulls? Glen Johnson, being fluent in Spanish, understood this. If it were an offensive slur, Johnson would have made a issue of it.
