Harry Redknapp has told reporters that a tweet on Twitter prior to Tottenham's game at the weekend with Newcastle had nothing to do with Jermain Defoe being left out of the starting 11.
Defoe reportedly announced on Twitter that he would be starting the game; but apparently the account was fake.
Supposedly, Redknapp knew nothing of the incident.
"I didn't see the twit, the tweet, because I can't work a tweeter," Redknapp said. "I don't know what it is. I haven't got a clue what a tweet is. It's beyond me all this tweeting and Facebooking. I don't understand it as I live in another world to that so I don't know if he's tweeted or not.
"In fact I couldn't care if he did or he didn't really. We used to talk to each other at one time and now we talk on computers and all that. I don't know what the world's coming to really."
Redknapp decided not to start Defoe in the game, and the England international came off the bench to score Tottenham's second goal.
