The followers bit doesnt mean anything.. but it should be 1 more tweet if he did post that

I think it's the other way round, and that he lost c.2,000 followers in the two hours.
Nope. Gained 2000
True.
Any source for this, or are you just speculating in general based on rumours? Not a stab at you btw just curious myself.
A few papers today are running with it, too many to list but it is also all over Twitter now.
Which wouldn't be that strange as he started his career at Burnley and played close to 170 matches for them
he's coming out of the closet then.
Good. I need somewhere to hide.
But it didn't add the tweet?
I know counting is hard, but this involved no counting whatsoever, come on Brophs.
Does it count a tweet if you delete it?
Not sure but the screenshot has the extra tweet yet it shows the same number as the one without. Clearly fake and not well thought out.
The screenshot without the tweet was done two hours later. If the tweet count does not get affected by a deletion that would be OK. If it does it sure proves it is fake.
Anyone on twitter who can tweet, delete and check whether the tweet count changed?
If you delete it the number will reduce again, however he hadn't actually deleted it yet so the number should have increased.
Yups, if it does reduce again it is definitely 100% fake.
Muppetry at it's finest, but a deleted tweet does not count towards your tweet count, it's deleted.
I feel dirty.
I feel dirty.
It's my fault. I posted the snippet from the BBC website, blissfully unaware of the fake tweet controversy!
If a real tweet is deemed as a non source, then surely a fake one must mean he's coming to us.
Manchester United & Arsenal preparing bids for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Good news for those who were worried that we were going to get conned as other teams pulled out of the race to sign him.
Never understood what preparing a bid meant. We have called our bank for a new cheque book as previous one finished or are we typing out the bid document ?
It's one of those transfer speak terms like "put on alert".
Don't question it. It ruins the magic.
Counting out unmarked notes, bundling them and placing them neatly in a briefcase.
Phelan is trying to get the briefcase closed.
We could get him to sit on it. Though if we're going down that road we should fill the briefcase with coal and have him knock us up some diamonds.
He's supposed to be a lifelong Arsenal supporter, so if they've made a bid for him maybe he'll choose them. Worked out well for Ramsey.
Ramsey was a United fan- he chose Arsenal over United
Smalling was an Arsenal fan- he chose United over Arsenal
Bale was a United fan- he chose Spurs over us.
I doubt it makes much difference to most players. Unless you are Robbie Keane then you make a point of playing for every last one of your childhood teams.
Remy post in Zaha thread. That's racist.
Finding the cupboard which the fax machine is at the back of.
I think Zaha will go to Arsenal. They will want (and need) him more than we do.
He wants to be part of a long term project I hear....one where he wins feck all for a number of years before stalling on a contract
He's an Arsenal fan too isn't he? I don't see him going anywhere but Arsenal. THey'll give him games and its just easier for him to move there. I'd like to think he'd come to United with us not actually ruining wingers unlike Arsenal
He's more a SAF type player than a Wenger type anyway from what little i have gathered about him. Likes to be direct, takes on people and is wasteful many times.
Is he really anything special that demands such speculation anyway?
Is there not better out there?James Rodriguez looks a far better player

You've done a great job with Ashley Young, he's even worse than he was at Villa.
A lookat the latest 2 pages on the Arsenal Mania Zaha thread tells me that they are desperate for him. Quite a few of them seem to want him mainly to get "one up" on us.
Young was really good yesterday before he got the knock. Pissed all over your lot last year too.
