SOCCER bad boy Joey Barton has launched into a foul-mouthed Twitter attack against Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker.
The QPR captain, who was sent off during his side’s clash with Manchester City yesterday, hit out after the pundits criticised him on last night's Match of the Day.
Shearer had condemned the controversial footie star for elbowing Carlos Tevez, sticking a knee in the back of Sergio Aguero and attempting to headbutt City captain Vincent Kompany during the match.
The former England ace’s feelings were widely shared, but that 29-year-old Barton took offence and began attacking Shearer personally on the site.
He fired back: “Shearers still on my case... I know I f****** up Alan, thanks for stating the obvious.”
He also claimed Shearer, 41, had no personality adding: “I really don’t like that p****, in fact I honestly despise him.”
QPR had lost 3-2 to the Premier League champions. Barton had received a red card for the elbow on Tevez and said after the match that his attack on Aguero was deliberate as he was trying to "take one of theirs with me".
Lineker later took to Twitter to defend his pal saying Barton was trying to deflect attention from his red card by attacking his co-presenter.
But Barton replied: "No deflections here mate. Think the fact about 100m people seen it will see to that. Just don't like how he gets personal."
Lineker, 51, then asked: “Still raging then? Still kicking out? And still, presumably. misunderstood? But only by yourself I suspect.”
Barton tweeted back: "Do u wanna go there publicly "Mr Squeaky Clean," before going on to say he would expose "skeletons" in Lineker's "vast closet".
He then tweeted again saying: "mind ur manners Squeaky..." before adding: "now back under your stone you odious little toad..."
Come next season, Barton could face a prolonged ban over his behaviour on top of the automatic four-match ban he has already got for the red card.
Barton tweeted to supporters: "Can do nothing but apologise to the players and fans.
"Still don't think it is a sending off.
"Still not my proudest moment but who gives a f***. We are safe.
"The head was never gone at any stage. Once I'd been sent off, one of our players suggested I should try to take 1 of theirs with me. Never worked but god loves a trier.”
