Today in sports stars' Twitter exchanges we come to case 1,842, this time involving Gary Lineker and Nicklas Bendtner. The former Arsenal striker scored a brace in Wolfsburg's 5-1 win over Krasnador last night, and Lineker decided to turn to Twitter to take down some low-hanging fruit.
Nicklas Bendtner has just scored 2 goals in the last minute for Wolfsburg. This is not a joke. I repeat, this is NOT a joke!

A short while later, Lineker experienced every Twitter user's worst nightmare; a reply from the person your abusive Tweet was about. That being said, Bendtner's retort was pretty.
@GaryLineker great Tweet mate! well done, I repeat, well done.

Not as weak however as Lineker's retort to the retort.
“@bendtnerb52: @GaryLineker great Tweet mate! well done, I repeat, well done.” < And well done to you too.
