Celebrity Arsenal fan Piers Morgan rubbed salt in the wound of Boro fans when he took to Twitter today.
“I hope Middlesbrough fans know how to spell “knocked out”...” said the former Daily Mirror editor and TV personality.
Morgan’s tweet comes after Boro fans cut him down to size after he caused a Twitter controversy by misspelling Middlesbrough after Boro were drawn to play the Gunners in the FA Cup.
Morgan tweeted to his 4.35m followers: “BREAKING NEWS: Middlesborough knocked out of FA Cup. Congrats on a great run.”
He quickly deleted the offending tweet, and retyped it with the correct spelling received hundreds of messages pointing out his mistake.
The Boro response to his goading tweet after today’s loss was understandable... and mostly unprintable.
Among them were lynx @lynxiberian who said: “@piersmorgan are you insinuating that Middlesbrough fans are in some way stupider than Arsenal fans? #arrogance”
@DeanAFC1989 responded simply “PRAT”.
And Mark Wheeler @watp74 said: “@piersmorgan piers the most fickle fan ever.”
But mostly the Boro fans just rose above it...
