The best tweets of the week from the world of football, featuring Maurizio Sarri’s sacking by Juventus, Man United finally ridding themselves of Alexis Sanchez, Bob Mortimer’s hilarious Phil Jones trailer, and a Scott Parker-The Streets mashup we never knew we needed in our lives.
Somehow, some way, Sarri will be reunited with his beloved Brazilian.
Sarri gonna buy Jorginho with his own money and just run drills with him in his garden ?

The maddest moments of the 2019/20 Premier League season
The worst thing that ever came out of the Sanchez transfer was that godawful Jesse Lingard tweet.
In that 927 days that have passed since this tweet, Jesse Lingard & Alexis Sánchez scored 2 Premier League goals between them while on the pitch together. https://t.co/0n7oEwhMIK

Wait, Nicolas Anelka did what?
The fact that Nicolas Anelka bagged a brace at Wembley while wearing goalie gloves isn’t spoken about enough.

Where does Nicolas Anelka rank among the best PL strikers from France?
The most surprising transfer news of the year is that Clive Tyldesley is signing for Rangers TV.
Tom Miller: “You’re Clive Tyldesley.”
“Yes.”
“You’re a commentator.”
“Yes.”
“I commentate games too.”
“So?”
“Are you better than me?”
“Well, I’ve never met you, but…yes.” pic.twitter.com/lCAw0QgJ4M
