The weekend in tweets

Find out what the footballers themselves had to say on Twitter after a weekend of Premier League action in wintry conditions:

Jamie O'Hara

Midfielder Jamie O'Hara had something to celebrate on his full return to the first after Wolves fought back from a goal down to win 2-1 against fellow strugglers QPR at Loftus Road.

Joey Barton

Badboy QPR midfielder Joey Barton stood up for team-mate Djibril Cisse's reaction after he was sent off for grabbing Roger Johnson by the throat after a late challenge from the Wolves defender. Djibril himself apologised to QPR fans after the fame for his "stupid" reaction, but condemned the tackle that he thought could have caused another leg break.

Emmanuel Frimpong

Frimpong, adjective. To tackle hard in the game of football. In extreme cases, 'Frimponging' can cause injury to the victim. Example: Wolves' on-loan midfielder keeps getting Frimponged, since he made up the term on Twitter.

Youssouf Mulumbu

Twitter saw an all too rare bout of honesty from a Premier League footballer here as Albion's Youssouf Mulumbu admitted to playing his "worst game ever" as Roy Hodgson's side slumped to defeat at home to Norwich.

Michael Owen

Barely a week goes by without a new chapter being added to the feud between Piers Morgan and Michael Owen, Morgan and Rio Ferdinand, Morgan and, well anybody that plays in the red of Manchester United. Owen wins this round though - it's no wonder the Americans are none too keen on their soccer if they've got to put up with Piers Morgan at half-time. . .

Rio Ferdinand

After Man United came back from three goals down to draw at Stamford Bridge, Rio Ferdinand revealed that boos from the Chelsea fans inspired his team's fightback. It was a shame for his team that they didn't inspire him to mark David Luiz properly from Chelsea's corners. . .

Charles N'Zogbia

Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia reacted to receiving more abuse on Twitter after Villa's defeat to Newcastle on Sunday. Having retweeted disgruntled fans calling him a "disgrace" and a "sulker", the support started to flock in and the Zog seemed to have more fans on his side. Mission accomplished. For now.
