Jozy Altidore has had a spat with his Twitter followers (Picture: Getty)

He’s not been involved too much, but Jozy Altidore was celebrating with the Sunderland team after they beat West Brom to secure Premier League safety.

The USA striker, a £6million signing from AZ Alkmaar, has largely flopped in English football since his arrival, and after he tweeted his relief at the Black Cats staying up, his own fans were quick to tell him so.

But Altidore was not taking the abuse lying down, as he took fired off some pretty brutal and epic responses to those mocking him, trolling them in the process…

It started off with a bit of sarcastic biting…


Before he stepped it up a gear…

And then suddenly, it went over the top. Altidore actually deleted this one…
