World Football's 15 Most Outrageous Tweets of the Week

The transfer window closed.

David Beckham launched a line of underpants.

And Messi missed a penalty.

Yes, it's been a crazy week in world football—and the Twitter-verse only confirmed it.

But that's not really anything new. Twitter is always full of outrageous tweets, whether or not anything interesting is going on.

This week, though, we had plenty to talk about. And Twitter didn't disappoint.

Freddie, Dons and Budgets

@Arsenes_Eyes perfectly captures the current pathos of Arsenal fans while passing along the insane rumor concerning former Gunner Fredrik Ljungberg and MK Dons on deadline day.

Well done, sir.

Morrison Deal Puts Gangs on Alert

@MattLawExpress delivers one of the best (out of literally dozens and dozens) snarky tweets about Ravel Morrison's transfer from Manchester United to West Ham United.

Bonus points for earning more than 140 retweets as of presstime.

Stereotypical Satire

@OptaParody manages to perfectly capture both the tone of Opta's tweets and the thought almost everyone had while watching that dude handcuff himself to the goalpost last night at Everton.

Minor quibble: The dude wasn't actually Jimmy Jump.

Appeasing the Football gods

@BrooksDT, the always-entertaining Twitter account of Dirty Tackle's Brooks Peck, cracks wise about Sky Sports and the supposed lack of spending in the January transfer window.

That's What They Said

@MLS_Analyst shows us that Internet memes can relate to football stories.

Which Internet meme? This one.

Which football story? On Tuesday, Philadelphia Union fans were all worked up about this one.

Dempsey Scores Again

Indeed, @Sam_Duren. Indeed.

Mistaken Identity

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is just like Rodney Dangerfield. I tell ya, he don't get no respect at all.

We think he's got a pretty good team, though.

Oompa-Loompa

Slugworth, of course, is a character from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He wouldn't be any worse than Tevez's real don't-call-me-an-agent "adviser," Kia Joorabchian.

Wht izz heEe Tlkng Abt???

Actually, guy, your 14-year-old girly writing is what tripped up Arsenal against Bolton.

True story.

Barton on Integrity

We're not quite sure what to make of Joey Barton talking about integrity.

Just sayin'.

Tabloid Journalism

Right, then, Barton. Here's integrity for ya—straight from the tabloids.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

We honestly would pull the trigger on this deal.

Pure Gibberish

Any idea what this means? Us either.

Even that dude who writes like a teenage girl is confused.

Beckham Mania

Way to go, lady. You should be really, really proud.

Here's the photo (NSFW-ish?) that's been causing all the hoopla.

(You've been warned.)

Fond Farewell

We don't see the resemblance. At all.
