TWEETS: Footballers scapegoated and the greatest goal ever

The best tweets of the week from the world of football, featuring a novel way to keep Jack Grealish from causing trouble, the scapegoating of footballers during the coronavirus crisis, and definitely the greatest goal we have ever seen. Promise.

Aston Villa’s star man didn’t have a great week…

Next time Jack Grealish tries to leave the house…#LUFC pic.twitter.com/alj8DcLpw0

Strap yourselves in for another tiresome round of “fOotBalLErS mAkE tOo mUcH MoNEy”.

This is fairly pathetic predictable stuff. Why footballers? Why not hedge funders or retail magnates or those with vast unearned inherited wealth? Why not the Prince of Wales? https://t.co/KE8OIZy2wA

Jonathan is right. Jeffrey Schlupp has earned his money, damn it.

The owners of the 20 Premier League clubs have a combined net worth of about £80 billion, of which the tiniest fraction is paid in UK tax. But yeah, let's go after Jeff Schlupp's wages

Playing political football at a time of crisis is a cheap shot

The audacity, the guile, the nonchalance, the celebration – this is the greatest goal ever, don’t @ me.

Kenny Dalglish: Still got it.

.@Carra23 nominated @KellyCates for The Keepy Uppy Challenge but, in the words of Big Al, she was “diabolical”, so she asked me to do it for her. I think she might regret it a wee bit. @GNev2 I see you’ve yet to do yours. #StayHomeSaveLives #SoundOn pic.twitter.com/86YZIzQIEa
