Harry Redknapp: "I didn't see the twit, the tweet, because I can't work a tweeter.

"I don't know what it is. I haven't got a clue what a Tweet is.

"It's beyond me all this Tweeting and Facebooking. I don't understand it as I live in another world to that so I don't know if he's Tweeted or not.

"In fact I couldn't care if he did or he didn't really.

"We used to talk to each other at one time and now we talk on computers and all that. I don't know what the world's coming to really.

"This phone don't even work. The ringer's broke. It's Jermain Defoe - 'Why didn't I 'effing play' - what's he Tweeting me for?"
