Controversial footballer Joey Barton has scoffed at the Football Association for sending him a warning letter after he rightly predicted the results of two matches that took place on Sunday.

The QPR star claimed that the FA was apprehensive because they fear it might look like he had insider information.

"Who do they think I am - Nostradamus?" said a livid Barton through his Twitter account.

Barton also said he had received around 30 such warning letters from the FA since joining Twitter in May last year, The Sun reports.

He blasted the FA again on Twitter over sending him another warning letter, this time for predicting the right results for the Manchester City and Tottenham Spurs match, as well as Manchester United and Arsenal game.

"Just received my weekly warning letter from FA headquarters, this time regarding my tweeting about predicting the weekends Manchester double."

"According to the FA, I am not allowed to give my opinion of possible results in case this is seen as inside information."

"These people are so out of touch with reality it's untrue. What difference does my opinion of the outcome of a match have on the result? None," he added.

"The strange thing is they have probably sent me 30 letters since I started tweeting. That's 30 pieces of paper wasted, stop sending please."

Barton further added that the FA needs a radical change, and is anticipating warning letter about his last few tweets as well.

"I'll probably get a letter about the last few tweets. That's how ridiculous it's become. Drastic shake up needed to move the game into 21st century. Hopefully they stop trying to be an Orwellian organization and get to grips with the chance that's happening in the world around them."

The FA has refused to make any comment over Barton's Twitter rant.

"We have no comment to make on Joey Barton or his musings on Twitter," said a FA spokesman. (ANI)
