"Let's resolve this argument on Twitter". Is probably what he should've said...

*via Twitter...

You may not be fans of Twitter, but despite the backlash, we find it a bit of a chuckle. Particularly when celebs go a bit OTT, presumably when they're a bit pissed. A bit like a text message, you can't undo them you see, which can make for entertaining viewing. Then there's Stan Collymore, who, like in real life, is rarely short of an opinion.

So when he began a rant about Alan Hansen's BBC wage, it must have struck a chord, because he just wouldn't ruddy stop. Remember the point of Twitter - 140 characters, and that's it. Someone forgot to tell Stan, though, and we sensed there might have been a bit of needle behind the rant. So we told him. And, well guess what...

StanCollymore: If the BBC are thinking about cuts,maybe £1m to sit on the MOTD couch once a week should be looked at?

StanCollymore: Not got any beef with any if them but as a licence payer I can have my say what BBC does.There are MUFC players paid less.Seems excessive

StanCollymore: Hansen, the corporation’s most senior football analyst, has been given a new four-year contract believed to be worth up to £1.4m a year.

StanCollymore: I've worked at the BBC,and the real "talent",namely producers,programme makers,researchers,runners,crew get a fraction of what some of the

StanCollymore: big names get,and the gap is growing! It is obscene that a licence funded organisation pays ANYONE £1m in tv football when the BBC has such

StanCollymore: little football on tv to comment on! The Ross debacle was the same,and Chris Evans on Radio 2 likewise.I help fund it,not like commercial

StanCollymore: radio and tv that has to go cap in hand to sponsors to fund shows.It's a bloody joke that the BBC is haemorrhaging YOUR money on projects

StanCollymore: that are simply not value for money! How can anyone,whoever they are justify £1m for 1 hour on Sat night? I bet young Ramsay doesn't earn

StanCollymore: that actually playing the game for Arsenal!

StanCollymore: Talented Arsenal footballer,5k per week,paid by private company.TV Pundit,22k per week,paid by you.

StanCollymore: I'm hearing"you gave to pay for talent".There would be a queue a mile long of European Cup:Premier League/World Cup winners that would give

StanCollymore: absolute value for 250k a year on MOTD! 1.4million for a show that we would all watch if Benny Hill was a pundit! Do me a favour!

...30 minutes later...

ToePokeNet: @StanCollymore: dumped by the Beeb were we?

StanCollymore: @ToePokeNet nope,not at all.

So there you go. Yeah, Stan snapped back at us. OK, so it's hardly Frost v Nixon, but we can definitely detect a bit of a blub from Stanley. Thanks for the reply Mr Collymore. Here's hoping the Beeb give you your job back...

Wind us up on Twitter here, we're big enough to take it. You can also speak to Stan here...
