TWEETS: Stan Collymore and Ian Wright trade barbs in bitter Twitter spat

Are you Team Wright or Team Collymore?

We never new they had such hostility to one another but, hey, we can't know everything. The pair were involved in a fairly heated Twitter argument this morning after former Arsenal striker Ian Wright had reportedly declined the opportunity to work alongside Stan Collymore on Channel Five’s Football League show from the start of the 2015-16 season, as told by Charlie Sale of The Daily Mail.

@StanCollymore You're right Stan, but you read and hear accusations banded about that with our friendly past I found very sad to read.

Wright was apparently referring to the fact that Collymore, a divisive figure in football commentary, had criticised Wright's son Shaun Wright-Phillips.

@StanCollymore Stan I had a bad experience with channel 5. @charliesale as seen an opportunity to maybe mix up his words for his benefit ! — Ian Wright (@IanWright0) May 23, 2015

@StanCollymore @charliesale it's worked hasn't it! We'll speak as we always do when we meet up.

Yes @IanWright0 , but why "f*** Stan Collymore? I repeat, last time I saw YOU, err we hugged, as always, so I'm a little lost here. — Stan Collymore (@StanCollymore) May 23, 2015

@StanCollymore now if you don't mind I've recorded myself on Premier league legends ! Wanna watch it.

@charliesale @MailSport hey Charles gotta say with all due respect, you are a proper trouble making ****.

Seems the truth does set one free indeed @IanWright0 , unless one is a disgruntled Dad sticking up for his grown adult child. — Stan Collymore (@StanCollymore) May 23, 2015
