It’s time for another round of the funniest tweets from Football Twitter over the past week.
Mikel Arteta hired a group of pickpockets to keep his Arsenal players on their toes? He must be an exhausting manager to play under.

So many questions.
But where did Arteta hire a team of pickpockets from? Is there a website? Did he use an app where magicians and freelancers assemble? Does Arteta have a pre-established relationship with sleight-of-hand experts and simply called in a favour? 😭😭😭

I wonder what the FA had to hide…
Your annual reminder that the FA was legally forced to change the name of the Charity Shield to the Community Shield in 2002 after they failed to meet the minimum legal transparency requirements of how much money actually went to charities.

Man City have finally been penalised by the Premier League – but not for what you think.
The Alvarez sale will mean Manchester City can now afford to enter the pitch late 902 times, a key factor in discussions. [Express]

This is the only plausible explanation.
