Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt engaged is a Twitter war with Piers Morgan about football.
Who knew Usain Bolt was just as witty on social media as he is after a post-race interview. If you head over to Piers Morgan’s own Twitter account, you’ll get to see these two titans of their respective industries battling it out in an epic exchange of words that had the entire Twitterverse standing on the sidelines like a high school rap battle.
Check out the first blow below where Piers replied to Bolt’s request for a caption of him at a podium with a quip against his favorite team.

As luck was on Bolt’s side that night, Piers Morgan’s football team (Arsenal) happened to be playing earlier against Bayern Munich F.C. which saw the Gunners take a big hit with a 5-0 loss. Bolt replied, “did Piers Morgan sleep at all last night after that Arsenal loss.”
Or did @piersmorgan sleep any at all last night after that Arsenal lost

At that point, it was clearly 1-1 as far as this Twitter battle was going with Bolt on the offensive. Being the Piers that he is, Morgan replied back with a comeback against Bolt’s favorite team, Man. United.
I finally got to sleep by counting all the goals Arsenal scored against United last month, @usainbolt.

By this time Bolt was already “hitting his stride” and replied back with his coup d’grace.
Next time count all the titles @ManUtd has @piersmorgan

And as one not to leave well enough alone, Morgan replied back with a rather weak…
Only title Utd has right now is World's Most Boring Team. > RT @usainbolt: Next time count all the titles @ManUtd has @piersmorgan

We imagine both Morgan and Bolt were curled up in bed laughing silly to themselves as the entire world witnessed their banter. As far as points goes, we’d have to give this one to Bolt as it looked like Morgan was really reaching for comebacks. We look forward to what else these two come up with next time around.
