Barton launches Twitter war of words with Warnock

QPR midfielder Joey Barton has posted some questionable comments about former Loftus Road boss Neil Warnock on Twitter.

He wrote that he finds it funny that Warnock says he talks too much and adds if he spoke further about the ex-Sheffield United manager "he'd do well to find another job".

Barton has used the hashtags "shutitWarnock" and "MikeBassett" - a reference to the fictional bungling football manager portrayed by Ricky Tomlinson.
