Spurs soothsayer predicts Young Boys thrashing on Twitter

Spurs has apologised over a misguided update to the club's Twitter account that predicted the North London club would thrash Euro opponents Young Boys on Tuesday night.

It gets worse

The Swiss team are known as the Wankdorf Young Boys after the name of their former stadium.

You couldn't make it up.

Probably no-ones going to read this thread anymore, but no mind

The prediction is remarkably close to the aggregate score.

Well i'm just saying........
