The funniest and best football-related tweets from the week gone by, featuring a bizarre advert from a bookmaker, Fulham’s future summed up in one sentence, Luton Town’s lovely stadium, Mike Dean’s antics, Barcelona virtually admitting their entire team was bad on Sunday, and the birth of the Harry Maguire/Son Heung-Min finger-pointing meme.

2. Gazing into the crystal ball.
At some point in the next few years, Fulham – 8th in the Championship under Quique Sánchez Flores, Dwight Gayle up front, shirts made by Macron – are going to wonder what the hell they were trying to do in 2018/19

6. Guardiola’s fascinating explanation of his starting line-up and formation against Arsenal.
Guardiola was asked if he comes up with complicated starting line-ups, like against Arsenal, to surprise the opposition. He said no, and then explained the Arsenal line-up, which is pretty interesting pic.twitter.com/bkY2uQvNBv

7. Sterling just out here doing his thing: ruining lives.
Sterling just did Azpilicueta so wrong. Made that man feel the limitations of his physical ability with a simple dribble and goaded him into a foul in the box. I would say this is hard to watch but I'm enjoying it.

Mike Dean wears a white suit to weddings.
