In the aftermath of Spurs 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool at White Hart Lane yesterday, many Spurs fans took to Twitter to vent their rage.
Some of these Twitter users didn't have a great grasp of the medium and how it works. Thinking that they were tweeting the now unemployed Portuguese, they pointed their abuse towards @AVB, which is actually the account of one Ashley Van Buren from New York.
It seems that this isn't the first time that Ashley has been on the other end of some Villas Boas directed anger, judging by the tweet below.
Reminder that I am NOT the U.K. football coach, so if you send me a death threat meant for him, I'm gonna tweet you a musical theater lyric.

The New York AVB kept his word too, tweeting lyrics from various musicals at his abusers.
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night. #SoundofMusic RT @mortonie: @jaygeemsg Time to replace @AVB.
