The Tweets of the Week - Barnet FC promotion special

Last Saturday, Barnet FC returned to the Football League. Two years ago when they were relegated, disgraced ex councillor Brian Coleman posted a tweet saying how pleased he was to see them go down. Brian savoured the moment, which seemed to spell the demise of the club he hates.

Now they are back, one or two Barnet fans used the opportunity to have their say. So for this week only, we are cancelling the Friday joke and giving you a selection of some of the best.

1. My old schoolmate, Barnet FC nut and friends reunited mogul Steve Pankhurst had this to say

@BrianColeman251 after your disgraceful tweet 2 years when #BarnetFC got relegated I can now happily stick 2 fingers up back at you

2. Michael Hanley, an old friend of this blog agreed with young Steve

@spankyhurst @BrianColeman251 Rejoice! Rejoice! Break out the Bucks Fizz.

3. Even the local Arsenal fans were happy to join the party!

4. Mat Smit is clearly a man of few words, but they say a good picture says 1,000 words and this is a great picture!

9.Nigel Adderley has a bit of sympathy for Brians postie! I hope he gets a bonus this week

Nigel Adderley ‏@nadderley Apr 25

I hope Brian Coleman gets a bulging post bag from celebrating Barnet fans after his reaction to their relegation two years ago...

10. And finally... We asked Brian if he planned to congratulat his local team, sadly Brian didn't have it in his big heart to reply

Brian, aren't you going to congratulate your local team on promotion http://barneteye.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/barnet-fc-back-in-league-but-not-in.html … … @BarnetFC @BarnetTories @BrianColeman251

 To all you Bees fans out there, congratulations we are proud of our local team. Whilst it is rather sad that our most famous disgraced ex councillor can't join in the fun, at least he has given us a little extra enjoyment in this most happy of weeks.
