Rafa Benitez’ Tweet congratulating Newcastle for Champions League qualification tickled a lot of people on social media.
We’ve all been there. You write a Tweet and auto-correct changes a word without you noticing.
And now the Spaniard has fallen foul of the easy to make error.
His original tweet read:
“Congratulations to all involved. Howdy the lads!”
The former Toon boss, deleted the Tweet and reposted it swiftly with the correct spelling.
Congratulations to all involved. Howay the lads! 🎉 #NUFC https://t.co/jj13xoKDf1

But it was too late and fans noticed the humorous error.
Autocorrect 😅
