The funniest and best tweets that sum up the weekend’s football, featuring Lionel Messi, Paul Ince, Neil Lennon, Marcelo Bielsa and a Hibs fan awaking from a coma.
Covering the Premier League, the Championship, LaLiga, and a healthy dose of the Scottish Premiership too.
This steward just about got away with one here…

The audio is not the greatest on this video so here’s the TL;DR version: the Sky Sports interviewer kept dodging Marcelo Bielsa’s question, so when it became clear that the Leeds United manager was not otherwise going to answer his deflective questions, he ended the interview. Bielsa cracked a wry smile and said that wasn’t true. Got to love that man.
Dedication to the cause.

Neil Lennon really loves being the Celtic manager.

Celtic beat Dundee with a 96th minute Odsonne Edouard goal at the weekend.
We found out there’s no such thing as an easy game.
Unless of course you’re Man City and seem to get all of the easy draws.
Bloody hell, no wonder Man City are in with a sniff of the Quadruple – here are their cup runs so far:
League Cup: Oxford Utd, Fulham, Leicester, Burton Albion, Chelsea
FA Cup: Rotherham, Burnley, Newport County, Swansea, Brighton
Europe: Lyon, Shakhtar, Hoffenheim, Schalke

And who better to finish up with than Lionel Messi.
The Argentine genius completed his hat-trick with this outrageously good finish during Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Real Betis in LaLiga. Good luck next month, United.
| GOAL! |
MESSI HAS HIS HAT-TRICK ?
That finish is ridiculous, superlatives will never do this man justice. pic.twitter.com/oiuUTuESf5
