Fool me twice?

Troubled Hammer Ravel Morrison came under fresh friendly fire last night after posting a picture of himself wearing an Arsenal shirt.

The 21-year-old midfielder, posting just hours after he appeared in court to answer assault-related charges published a picture on Instagram featuring himself and a friend sitting in a red Ferrari.

And just a matter of weeks after he posted a picture of himself wearing a Chelsea shirt, Morrison was just as happy to be seen wearing the shirt of another of West Ham's rivals.

Shortly after posting the picture the England under 21 international took to Twitter, where he posted the following message.



However rather than take Morrison's response to the furore at face value, a number of supporters posting on the KUMB forum and other social media this morning believed that his response was sarcastic, rather than a genuine heartfelt message.



Seeing red: Hammers fans up in arms at Morrison images


Morrison's latest gaff is eerily reminiscent of the scenario that led to Paul Ince leaving West Ham back in 1989. Ince's agent, Ambrose Mendy, persuaded the then 21-year-old to be pictured in a Manchester United shirt prior to leaving for a holiday, in case a planned move to Old Trafford was confirmed during his absence.

Unfortunately for Ince, the move fell through (initially) but the picture was published in the Daily Express much to the anger of many Hammers fans, some of whom still hold Ince responsible for the mistake some 25 years later.
