A set of Premier League supporters accidently vandalised their own club's team bus thinking it belonged to the opposition!
A group of Crystal Palace supporters recently spray-painted "Crystal Palace FC" in red and white over a black bus they thought was owned by Middlesbrough.

The incident apparently occurred just a few hours before the Eagles narrowly beat Boro 1-0 on Saturday.
It was confirmed that the club used the bus to go down to Selhurst Park as they had nothing else to use at the time.
"The team bus was covered in graffiti with the words 'Crystal Palace' overnight on Friday ahead of the game on Saturday. Police have been informed," a spokesperson told Sun Sport.
The head groundsman Dean Waters confirmed on Twitter that the damage was done by his club's supporters not long after the incident.
"40,000 pounds worth of damage on our coach thinking it was the Boro coach. Nice one! #cpfc," Waters tweeted, before changing his privacy settings so that the post was no longer available to the public.
Palace's win took them out of the relegation zone, but the day seems to have been a costly one for the club.
Should these supporters come forward and pay for the damages?
