Norwich striker always looks on the gripe side of life

All roads lead to pound signs for Mike Ashley

Foxes boss doesn't suffer questioning fools gladly  

Norwich City’s James Vaughan was one of many footballers weighing into this weekend’s boxing chaos, Tweeting: “Chisora is horrible! Hope he gets destroyed.”

Strong stuff from the relentlessly upbeat former Everton fan, whose cheery recent Twitter messages have included the following:

* “Just finished watching The Sopranos and I can’t describe how angry I am at the ending! Worst ending ever! Terrible.”

* “Valentines Day is fraud! I refuse to participate.”

* “This hotel bed is seriously winding me up! Every time I move the bed moves and my pillows fall down the back!” 

* “Other thing that annoys me is hotels never have plug sockets by the bed! It’s no good to anyone near the door! I hate hotels.”

* “Fuming! Gave @Pilkington_11 1 of my sweets and the bag came back ripped open and with all the reds gone. Never again. Selfish.”

And, when Britain was recently transformed into a winter wonderland:

“Woke up to this. Seriously, is there any need? I hate snow.”
