Darren Bent

If you become the first footballer to be fined over your tweets, you'll go up in my estimation big time.

Good luck at Sunderland lad. Sorry we couldn't accommodate you at the Lane. Never meant for each other. Never meant to be.

OMG, Is the the first realistic and honest article on this site? OMG!

Jul 30, 2009 at 11:36 PM | Unregistered CommenterOMG

Spooky, you sure it's all kosher though?

Jul 30, 2009 at 11:36 PM | Unregistered CommenterOracle

Only a journalist would be stupid enough to think that was really Darren Bent!

Jul 30, 2009 at 11:38 PM | Unregistered Commentername

OMG - What you meant like the last 5 or 6 articles you've carefully chosen to ignore? LOLZZZZzzzzzzzz

Oracle - Probably. Hopefully. The club has confirmed he 'tweets'. His account is locked, so someone shared his posts which is a bit naughty, but I guess trust and public domain don't go hand in hand. Shockingly, he has given me access to his twitter updates. I'll be disappointed if it isn't Darren's account.

Probably a fake. But I'm hoping too it's a real account. I find the whole thing utterly brilliant.

Jul 30, 2009 at 11:44 PM | Unregistered Commenterollie

It's real.

Jul 30, 2009 at 11:46 PM | Unregistered CommenterFraggleYiddo

He accepts everyone I think who requests access to his updates. Which might be an indication that it's a fake.

It must be Aunty Maud, I can't see the word 'definitely' anywhere.

I know it's a claim by the sun so take from that what you will, but they claim umbro (Bent's sponsor) confirmed the account is DB's

Seems like David Cameron is right! The more people use twitter, the more tw*ts you get.

Spooky are you renewing your season ticket! or the missus got the better of you!

Jul 31, 2009 at 6:09 AM | Unregistered Commentermark Johnson

Spooky is well under the thumb.

Jul 31, 2009 at 8:19 AM | Unregistered Commenterfilthy

Why do I get the distinctive feeling that Spooky is being sarcastic with his good luck message?

Jul 31, 2009 at 8:27 AM | Unregistered CommenterTonk

Can anyone shed a bit more light on the nature of this story for those of us who haven't seen a newspaper yet today? I feel blind! lol.

Stupid filters at work mean DML is about the only footy related site I can go on until lunch.

Jul 31, 2009 at 9:22 AM | Unregistered CommenterMaddySpurs

If this isn't true - which it probably isn't - I feel quite sorry for the poor sod. Yanked off a plane at the last minute, paraded around to all takers like a lady of the night, and now stitched up for national amusement on twitter.

(Although if it is true, the guy's a legend...)

@ maddy , filters at work do suck **** , i m suffering from the same corporate ilness over here

Jul 31, 2009 at 10:07 AM | Unregistered Commenterbelgian spur

For Maddy.........Darren Bent is at the centre of a transfer controversy after comments attributed to him were posted on an internet networking site.

The page, supposedly under Bent's control, featured alleged comments aimed at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy that surfaced on Thursday evening.


Anyone now attempting to visit the page is greeted with a message reading, "This page does not exist."

Neither the club nor the player has released a statement regarding the incident thus far, though officials at White Hart Lane are believed to be launching an internal inquiry into the affair.

the peoples popular front of judea!...........oi no!

amen for no filters here...though they'd probably block american football, baseball, hockey, basketball, and nascar sites before they banned futbol sites here lol...yeah 'his' page is down...however, that account had more tame posts on tuesday about him leaving and such which leads me to believe it might actually be him (and outlets other than the sun were reporting on it then i believe)...the fact he hasn't said anything yet probably leads more credence to that fact...

Jul 31, 2009 at 10:33 AM | Unregistered Commenterus futbol

Cheers for the info Yiddos. Only in this day and age could this happen - what a farce!

Quite funny though.

Jul 31, 2009 at 10:46 AM | Unregistered CommenterMaddySpurs

who bothers with this twitter shite anyway ??

do i wanna go to hull ?...no do i want to go to stoke ? ....no

don't blame the chap in fairness ............ good player ....(just not right for the mighty spurs) lacks finesse

Jul 31, 2009 at 3:04 PM | Unregistered Commentermjd1

He has amazing shins though - I couldn't score half the goals he has with random extremeties. He is a true WHL legend in that sense!

Did you ever see Hoddle, Sheringham or Klinsmann scoring with their calves? lol.

He'll do well at Sunderland.

Funny how your rants at Mr Levy never hit the back pages of the Surrant Bun spooky...
