Christopher Samba was criticised heavily for his subpar performance in QPR's 3-2 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The former Blackburn Rovers centre-back was at fault for a couple of Fulham goals on the night and was quickly reminded by fans on Twitter that he is earning a lot of money to do his job.
As the negative tweets rolled in, Samba defended his massive salary after putting in a shocker. First, he apologised to R's supporters for his poor first-half performance before the tweets poured in, a lot of them criticising him in regards to the amount of cash he pockets each week.
I'm really sorry I let the side down,really upset with my 1st half performance I can't say sorry enough to all the supporters,won't give up — Samba Christopher (@cs4christsamba1) April 1, 2013
Before adding:

Norwich City loanee Kei Kamara was a little bit more light-hearted with some of his recent tweets, most notably on April Fool's Day.
Norwich thank you for everything, couldn't have asked for a better place to be at. KC see you in 8hr. #LifeIsGood. twitter.com/keikamara/stat — KEI KAMARA (@keikamara) April 1, 2013
Before he set the record straight.

West Brom keeper Ben Foster enjoyed a night out at the cinemas to see newly-released British thrilled 'Welcome To the Punch' but was uninterested in one of his fellow theatre-goers.
Jus got out of the cinema,"welcome to the punch" - not bad, what ruined it tho was the guy in the row behind us chucking up 1/2 way thru it! — Ben Foster (@BenFoster) April 2, 2013
Cesc Fabregas was looking for the customary support from the Barcelona faithful following Tuesday night's 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Whilst Chelsea's Demba Ba was full of praise for PSG's Brazilian defender Thiago Silva.
Thiago silva was the boss today at the parc (psg. Best player on the field

On the subject of Thiago Silva, our favourite Twitter performer Joey Barton heavily criticised the Brazilian earlier on Tuesday before having to eat his words later.
Thiago Silva. That the same pussy thatsbeen injured all season. Another over rated Brazilian. Sort your hamstrings out FatBoy... — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 2, 2013
Have to take back what I said about Thiago Silva being over rated today. Been immense tonight. Still looks like a overweight ladyboy though! — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 2, 2013
Thiago Silva put in the performance of his career. What a day to call him over-rated. In hindsight, I should have waited. #bastard — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 2, 2013
But Barton wasn't finished there
2 questions for Thiago Silva. Firstly, Why are YOU talking about ME, in your press conference before PSG v Barca? Very strange. — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 3, 2013
Secondly, Are you Pre-Op or Post-Op?#transsexual#thiagosaladyboy — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 3, 2013
Baffles me, which way he's going. Is he a man changing to a woman or a woman changing to a man? Can't work it out.

And former Arsenal and Tottenham youngster Rohan Ricketts is not a fan of Everton's Phil Neville ..or so it seems.
If there is one fact which makes me ashamed to be English, it is this; Phil Neville has earned more caps than Glenn Hoddle! — Rohan Ricketts (@RohanRicketts) April 3, 2013
Hold on .it was someone else's quote!
I forgot to add to the statement that it was a quote I came across from a English fan. Im not ashamed to be English. I copied and pasted it. — Rohan Ricketts (@RohanRicketts) April 3, 2013
