Rachel Riley Hits Back At Twitter Trolls After Calling Tottenham 'Bottle Jobs'

Rachel Riley felt the fury of Spurs fans after she referred to the team as 'bottle jobs' on Sky Sports' Friday Night Football.

While presenting, she said: "It's deja vu for Spurs, isn't it? Proper bottle job."

She's now fired back at the 'hideous abuse' she's received on Twitter from fans and defended her comments.

After having a quick look on Twitter, I can confirm that some people have been really awful towards her.

Some of the more tame comments included one from Stephen Hawkey who said: "So am I getting this right, you called Spurs bottle jobs now your backtracking. Doesn't that make you a bottle job?"

While Karl Merriman said: "You said Spurs were bottle jobs rather than saying something constructive. Poor TV and very unprofessional imo."

Ross Paul added: "If you're going to talk about respect, show some, obvious you & Sky biased against Spurs, link players away etc despite fact are 2nd!!!"

What do you reckon? Bit of an overreaction or not? Let us know in the comments below.
