We all know a car like that is well within a Barclays Premier League player's price range, but to advertise the fact directly after a heavy defeat?
More than a little insensitive, as the resulting on-line fans fury is testament to, but the ex-England international has surely made it worse by trying to claim that "the tweet sent out from my account involving a picture of a car was totally accidental. It happened whilst driving and my phone was in my pocket."
Now in addition to the suggestion of contempt for the ordinary fan, he either thinks that the world is full of gullible idiots or is arrogantly confessing to a serious traffic offence.
So as someone who spends a lot of time driving in the West Midlands, I'm hoping that he's lying about the accidental Tweet as Lescott's phone would have had to perform the following all by itself...
- Phone unlocked
- Twitter app opened
- Icon to send tweet selected and pressed
- Add image icon selected and pressed
- Image from album selected and pressed
- Click to upload image into tweet selected
- Tweet sent
