Twitter Me This...

CNN host PIERS MORGAN got in a Twitter argument with members of boy band ONE DIRECTION over DAVID BECKHAM, leading to #PiersMorganIsSmelly trending worldwide around noon ET. Below are Morgan's tweets as the dispute unfolded:

  • "Well sign him up for the group - bet he sings better than he plays now > RT @Louis_Tomlinson: @benwinston @piersmorgan I LOVE David Beckham!"
  • "Can't believe I'm currently being sledged about Beckham by TWO members of One Direction. Boy-band types clearly stick together."
  • "OK, now you lot have crossed a line #WrongDirection > RT @Real_Liam_Payne #BenWinstonFTW #PiersMorganIsSmelly"
  • "Now got roughly 25 million One Directioners abusing me - many thanks @Harry_Styles @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson"
  • "So, #PiersMorganIsSmelly is now trending worldwide, is it? Right, @Harry_Styles @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson - this is WAR."
  • "Better Direction - #Piers now trending worldwide along with #PiersMorganIsSmelly @Harry_Styles @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson"

London Telegraph's JACQUELIN MAGNAY: "So if David Beckham is released from LA Galaxy next month will he go to Australia (sun) or China (money)?

BBC presenter GARY LINEKER: "Rumours that David Beckham will join MOTD in the new year have been entirely invented by me, just now. Always welcome though."

The official account of PERTH GLORY FC: "DAVID BECKHAM | Has confirmed the MLS Cup final will be his last game for the Galaxy. The race is on."
