Ever since former England footballer Paul Gascoigne reportedly turned up during the manhunt for murderer Raoul Moat with some chicken, beers, a dressing gown and a fishing rod, it has become perhaps the most predictable joke on Twitter.
Any situation of adversity or controversy is followed, as surely as night follows day by suggestions on Twitter that Gazza is due at the scene - normally with at least the chicken and the fishing rod.
From situations such as the sexism row at Sky Sports ("Gazza is on his way to Andy Gray's house with some chicken and a fishing rod") to the liberation of Tripoli and the toppling of Gaddafi's Libyan regime ("Gazza is on his way to Tripoli with some chicken and a fishing rod") it has become an ever-present on the social network.
