Wayne Rooney Twitter battle has people shaking their heads in approval and disapproval

(CBS/ What's Trending) - Wayne Rooney is in more hot water this morning after letting loose online. Rooney, fresh after winning the Premier League last weekend with Manchester United, threatened a Liverpool fan yesterday via Twitter after banter between the two got out of control.

Rooney, who has not been a member of the site for long but has already amassed over 570,000 followers, took offense when Liverpool fan @sam_oldham_LFC (whose account has now been deleted) called the England striker a "fat w----" and also tweeted "smash ya head in with a pitchin wedge." Rooney took this to heart and responded with a tirade of his own. (Well, at first, showing that he still needs to get a hang of Twitter, he tweeted angry comments at himself. He eventually figured out how to direct it at the appropriate parties.)
