The FA's official FA Cup twitter account posted a gif of Manchester United defender Chris Smalling answering "Harry Kane" to a question about what was in his pocket.
The Football Association has apologised for a tweet from its FA Cup account which mocked Tottenham striker Harry Kane after Saturday's 2-1 semi-final defeat by Manchester United.
The message asked United defender Chris Smalling "What's in your pocket?" and included a short clip of him saying, "Harry Kane".
An FA spokesman said: "We have written to both clubs to apologise for any offence caused."
Tottenham did not make any comment.
However, it is understood neither club was impressed by the nature of the tweet given it came from an official account.
 
The FA have accepted his testimony that when the match was on he was at home protecting his daughter from the demons that have suddenly started to attack her through her ipad.
 
I very rarely get any sort of joy out of a manure win, but I'm taking my victories where I find them this afternoon.


the Argentine says he may field Tottenham's promising academy stars in next year's FA Cup to avoid what he feels is unjustified criticism over his club's failure to win trophies.

'I am thinking with Tottenham to play with kids the next time because it's so unfair when you lose but that is my job to be criticised when we don't win,' Pochettino said.
'The problem is the perception sometimes is not realistic. But maybe yes, next we will provide the possibility to play with kids and I'm sure it will be fantastic for experience and everything.
'Then we stop to arrive in this situation (of being questioned about not winning trophies).'

They don't need a trophy to claim one do they?
 

[article]The Football Association apologised, and Pochettino said: "We need to protect our English players."

The Argentine, who was appointed Spurs boss in 2014, added: "We need to give them belief. We need to teach them, to educate, and this type of situation disappointed me a lot.

"For me, it was embarrassing. It was a shame because the FA is English football... and a potential captain like Harry Kane in the World Cup... I think was difficult to understand, very, very difficult."[/article]
