Joey Barton has decided to take a break from the social networking site, and the QPR midfielder bowed out in his own inimitable style, aiming a broadside at the city of Sunderland.
After airing his frustrations at being an unused substitute for QPR's 3-1 reverse at the Stadium of Light, the controversial 29-year-old said:
'Reminds me of a film this 5under1and place.........can't think which one. #thedeliverance.'
Prior to the match, Barton tweeted his frustrations at not making boss Mark Hughes's first XI.
'All time low.........2 ways out. 1.Work hard 2.Worker harder', and 'Very, very disappointed.'
And in what Barton claims will be his final missive for a while, Barton went on to say: 'Going to take a little twitter sabbatical before I say something I'll end up regretting. Have a good few weeks people.'
Based on James Dickey's novel, John Boorman's nightmarish 1972 film sees four Atlanta businessmen canoeing along the Cahulawassee River on an ill-fated weekend.
