Although Twitter can be a toxic place at times it can also provide us with moments of great humour especially in the sporting world. I have picked out four tweets which I found amusing below:
Dulux and Totteneham Hotspur
When a football club forms a new partnership with a company it is customary to expect them to start singing each other’s praises on social media with cliche tweets like “We can’t wait to start working with you”.
What you don’t expect is for them to start laying into their new partners within minutes.
This is exactly what happened moments after Spurs announced that Dulux had become their official paint supplier.
In reply to one user’s tweet about the London club’s lack of trophies the Dulux Twitter admin posted a picture of an empty trophy cabinet that had the club crest on with the caption” For sale unused trophy cabinet: Telephone 03444995000”.
They would later go on to suggest that the Dulux dog could do a better job at the back than the current crop of defenders at the club in response to another tweet.
You do have to wonder whether the person behind the tweets was an Arsenal or West Ham fan, fair play to them for having the bottle to do it but I expect they will be receiving their P45 in the post.
Amir Khan Anthony Joshua
Khan may be six weight classes below the World Heavyweight Champion but that didn’t stop him from calling out Joshua on Twitter, just not in the way you might think.
Whilst out in Dubai Khan announced that he had split from his wife Faryal Makhdoom accusing her and Joshua of having an affair.
The funny part about this Twitter spat is that AJ cheekily responded with a video clip of the song It Wasn’t Me by American artist Shaggy. 1-0 to the Champ.

Jarrod Bowen
As a teenager out shopping with his dad Bowen probably thought nothing of his tweet which let the internet know he was “Milf Hunting”.
But as we have come to find out with social media, once you click the post button it is out there forever and these kinds of tweets have a tendency to come back and bite footballers years later.
One thing I will say is that I admire his ambition for thinking he could get a bit of action in the middle of B&Q.
Gary Lineakar’s pants
When the Match of the Day host told the web that he would present the first show of the following season in his pants if his beloved Leicester City won the league he probably didn’t think it would come true.
That’s exactly what happened though as the Foxes pulled off the unthinkable to lift the 2015/16 Premier League trophy as a 5000/1 outsider.
Linekar’s Leicester shorts were on show to the nation as he analysed the reigning champion's performance against newly promoted Hull City. Let’s just hope he wasn’t too cold...
Do you have any particular tweets from the sporting world that have amused you over the years? Let me know in the comments!
