Gus Poyet's Son's Twitter Account Has Come Back To Bite Him In The Arse

Here’s a screenshot of a rather unfortunate tweet sent in 2012 by new West Ham signing Diego Poyet, son of Gus. Woops.

He took to the same medium earlier to explain himself, saying it was teenage naieveté, which is fair enough really.

For all yous getting on to me about that tweet 2 years ago it was banter between some of my friends and me when I went to watch a game (1/2)

And I was supporting my dads team (Brighton). Obviously I regret it looking at it now but there's nothing I can do about it. I apologise.

I was 16 at the time and very naive, I will learn from my mistakes. I'm very happy to be at the club and have loved my time here so far.
