We bookmark the finest sporting banter possible in 140 characters over the past seven days
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 current transfer window. Here's the best of the past seven days in 140 characters.

@Joey7Barton The whole country has gone soft. No discipline. Teachers, Police etc had their authority stripped from them by pathetic laws.

Media blackout needed, as its added fuel to the fire. Give the brave boys in blue, license to absolutely pummel these reprobates...#scumbags

I can't tell the youths exactly what to do but stealing tv's + trainers+burning innocent peoples houses+shops aint solving nothing at all.

Family day yesterday so my Mrs locked my phone in the safe (her Alan Whickers) lol - normal service resumed today - on way to London now
@DickinsonTimes
Torres and Wenger seemingly the 2 men with least slack heading into PL season. Arsene by far the harder to replace...
@piersmorgan

Great to see Neil Warnock back in the Premier League. A proper old-school character. Looks like a stern old spinster from the 1940s, though.

Manchester police say the looters are not from Manchester. Hmm, they must be United fans then?

Do Blackburn still have a team? Haven't seen them on match of the day since the mighty mags pinched Shearer...
