Soccer Extreme : Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas has been notable on Twitter lately and we’ve already posted an article involving Fabregas teasing a teammate about his hair on Twitter, and also recently told how Fabregas was on the receiving end of some praise from Rio Ferdinand on his Twitter account.
Now though it seems as though Fabregas is on the receiving end of some Twitter criticism instead, from Huddersfield’s Anthony Pilkington. It followed the Arsenal encounter with Huddersfield in an F.A. Cup round, which was a rather eventful match. It saw Sebastien Squillaci sent off and then Arsenal gaining a penalty from an incident involving Nicholas Bendtner appearing to have been pushed over by Jamie McCombe, according to a report by Ted Thornhill over on Metro.
Fabregas incited the rage of Huddersfield’s fans when he appeared to be trying to get the referee to send off McCombe by waving an imaginary red card at him. Fabregas then converted the penalty that saw Arsenal win 2-1. It was not exactly a good-natured game but events after the final whistle led to Hudderfield Town’s Anthony Pilkington accusing Fabregas of disrespecting two of his teammates by refusing to swap shirts. Pilkington then accused Fabregas on Twitter saying, “2 lads asked him for his shirt and he told them to f*ck off!! Sick player but what a tit!”
Arsenal countered the claims by saying that Fabregas had in fact given two of his shirts to opposing team members and Pilkington has now shut his Twitter account down and apologized.
