Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has sparked a Twitter war with AS Roma fullback Ashley Cole.
The Chelsea icon played down talk of moving to MLS after confirming his Roma signing last week.
He tweeted: "B4 I signed at Roma people on here killing me about playing there, saying it's for the money and easy life style, I choose to play in a more demanding place and team and people still feel the need to moan, how about you just worry about ur team and I'll worry about mine, I'm talking about the MLS by the way."
But former New England Revolution coach Nicol hit back:
Ashley cole said if I wanted an easy ride I would have gone to MLS. Such an ignorant comment. MLS does not want you thanks
