David Cameron Tweets Congratulations To Leicester City, Public Having None Of It

Bit harsh.
LOADINGERROR LOADING

One of those quick to offer congratulations was the PM himself.

Many congratulations to Leicester. An extraordinary, thoroughly deserved, Premier League title.

Nothing wrong with that you might think.

Well, if the responses are enough to go by, not even the biggest football fairytale of all time is enough to warrant a positive response to David Cameron.

Obviously, a lot of the fire was directed at the now infamous occasion where the PM forgot which team he supported.

Honest man of the people @David_Cameron is currently congratulating Lincolnshire Wednesday for their success at association soccer.

@faisalislam @David_Cameron did Cameron know there was a football club called Leicester City or did he mistake them for Chelsea?

@David_Cameron Shame is wasn't Aston Villa eh Dave? Or West Ham? One of those... I get them confused

Others simply questioned the sincerity of the tweet.

Or if he even sent it himself...

@David_Cameron Impressive that you were hovering over the tweet button as soon as the final whistle went. Give your intern a pay rise.

On the whole, the well-meaning tweet seemed rather unwelcome...

@David_Cameron Don't spoil it...

— Springtime Pandy (@treecalculus) May 2, 2016

At least there was some career advice though...

.@David_Cameron more shameless attention begging tweets?

Sack Jeremy Hunt, Nicky Morgan & then resign. Watch your popularity really rise.

Mostly though, it was just a lot of weirdness...

@David_Cameron in 2011: Leicester looking for a title is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there

The remarkable outcome to the season has bee a true football fairytale.

They lost just three games in what has been described as "the most unlikely triumph in the history of team sport".

Former Leicester player, Gary Lineker said: "I can't think of anything that surpasses it in sporting history. It is difficult to put over in words.

"I got emotional. It was hard to breathe. I was a season ticket holder from the age of seven. This is actually impossible."

Leicester still have a game to play against Everton on Saturday.
