Whilst the likes of Gazza used to get in trouble for drinking and other shenanigans, footballers nowadays seem to be mostly getting in trouble for airing their views on Twitter.

This naturally makes for some entertaining internet time for us fans, there is of course Joey Barton who's perhaps the most notorious 'tweeter' but who else is worth a follow???

There's a few listed here but I'm sure there are far more I've missed...

Joey Barton. They guy is insane... but it's pure comedy on twitter. The best is when he gets into twitter wars with people lol.

If you like the NBA, Kobe Bryant has discovered twitter this year and it's become his stream of consciousness...

Nigel De Jong has some nice tweets

Joey Barton, all day every day. The rest is more of a personal choice.

But before you even look at anybody, follow Joey. GO ON, GET HIM FOLLOWED.

Joey Barton comes to mind instantly. So much lulz....dat Thiago Silva jab

I saw that, LOL'd and immediately knew he'd get in trouble for it

Jack Wilshere's another that's fun to follow as well.

joey barton and rio ferdinand are the only footballers i follow and probably the only ones worth following.

lescott can be quite funny at times but barton is the best

Fabio Borini. That is all.

People take the piss out of the Daily Mail and Goal.com, but recommend that others follow Joey Barton

Rio Ferdinand isn't as gigantic a bellend as he appears to be IRL, so worth a follow. Frimpong is a maniac, so maybe. Lee Dixon does a lot of charity sponsorship and updates via Twitter (and rides his bike everywhere)

Also, youth and reserve players keep it more real than 1st teamers (usually) Meade, Eastmond, Yennaris etc Tweet about going round to their mums for tea and watching Eastenders in bed
