Jamie Carragher and Leicester's Danny Simpson hilariously trolled each other on Twitter

Former Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher and Leicester City defender Danny Simpson got into it on Wednesday morning via Twitter. The two swapped choice roasts, likely spurred on by Carragher stating Leicester's players should "hang their heads in shame" after the renewed vigor they showed against Liverpool following Claudio Ranieri's sacking.

First, Simpson called Carragher (who played for Liverpool, but grew up a Toffees supporter) out for training with Everton and wearing the colors of Liverpool's bitter rivals.

And he brought Gary Neville in on it too!

He also clearly thought it was hilarious and, like any good millennial, expressed himself through the art of emoji.

Carragher didn't take it sitting down, though, firing back at Simpson and insulting the renewed work rate Leicester's players showed against Liverpool after Ranieri's sacking.

The beef softened up a little bit, with Simpson proffering an olive branch of sorts.

His words made Carragher check his shots a little bit, offering an apology.

Then it seems Carragher discovered Simpson's replies to Gary Neville and went on the warpath. He let fly a not-so-subtle jab insinuating Simpson was one of the players to bend Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's ear in order to get Ranieri fired.

Simpson wisely chose to let it go, but came back with the ultimate roast. The "you ain't got no trophies" roast.

Carragher didn't take it sitting down, and he fired back once more.

Not a bad response, but Simpson has the trophy and he has the finisher. All it took was a picture and the beef stopped.

Flawless victory? You tell us.
