They all seem to have few photos on their accounts but links to their websites, which one can only assume contain their family photos...

Instagram is also great for photos of your dinner. Or your car if you are a footballer.

Aston Villa defender Joleon Lescott has hit the headlines again today after seemingly daring a fan to meet him at the club's training ground.

The former Albion defender caused controversy at the weekend after his side's hammering at home to Liverpool when he tweeted a picture of a flash Mercedes only to later apologise that it was 'accidentally' posted while he was driving with his phone in his pocket.

Now the former England defender, 33, has responded to a personal threat on his j.p.lescott Instagram account, by telling a fan to confront him face-to-face at Bodymoor Heath.

A message told @oward98 : “I'm at the training ground tomorrow. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come down and try. FACT YOU WONT.”

Lescott is thought to have been angered at the personal slur which included threatening references.

He could even alert the police, but that is unlikely.

The star has embroiled himself in controversy lately after a verbal spat with Villa fans at League Two Wycombe in the FA Cup last month.

The defender, signed from Albion last summer for £2million, was linked with a January move to USA to link up with pal Robbie Keane at LA Galaxy, who were offering him a three-year deal.

It's thought he will look at his options in the summer with a move to the States an appealing option.

After growing up a Villa fan, Lescott initially expressed his delight at finally joining his boyhood club last summer.

But the move has turned sour with Villa doomed to relegation under boss Remi Garde.

Lescott was widely criticised and ridiculed for his car tweet after Villa's biggest home loss in 81 years with pundits like striker Stan Collymore weighing in.

he Mirror reports that the defender added on Instagram: “That Tweet got more press than our performance. That div Stan Collymore getting involved like he never made a mistake, he's a complete tool.”

Lescott was asked why he hasn't deleted the picture of the Mercedes from his Twitter account.

He replied: “Why delete it? It happened so I've gotta deal with it. Shall I just delete Sunday's game No it happened so I have gotta deal with it.”

Lescott at the training ground? No evidence of that this season.

That bit about Collymore has actually made me laugh out loud.

The man is a prick and despite playing well of late, I hope we never see him in a Villa shirt again

True. But if he'd posted a picture of his MG Montego, he'd have been accused of going after the sympathy vote.

Knowing how mouthy some twats are when safely hiding behind a phone/computer I don't blame him for that. Not the brightest thing to do but some people think it's okay to say whatever they want and to keep pushing at someone thinking there will be no comeback.

Nice to see that he also uses FACT to underline the point that he's won the argument.

Either that his autocorrect has been set to avoid spelling TWAT.

I'n sure anybody remotely famous with a Twitter account will get abuse from idiots at some point. Surely the best thing is to just ignore them, especially the day after you've just been thrashed at home and caught posting a photo of a twatty car.

Depends what was said to him, just because he's famous and had a shit game doesn't mean it should be open season for people to say what they want to him. I'm a believer that if you mouth off to someone don't be surprised if they hit back, regardless of who they are.

Didn't Remi Garde say something like "I will now find 11 players ready to fight....." post match Sunday? Well looks like he has one volunteer in Lescott so just another ten to find.

It's ace! I get followed by skimpily-dressed Russian birds almost every day.

I Moscow on it then.

He's certainly pushkin his luck

To be fair to Lescott, his problems in defence would be a lot less obvious if we'd just started the season with a good pair o' strikers.

Joleon Lescott - Come back Steve Hodge all is forgiven.

Just in case you're reading this Steve, no it fucking isn't.
