The best tweets from the world of football this past week, featuring Liverpool getting battered and bantered, Premier League managers rated as potential step fathers, a very confused Carlo Ancelotti and so much more.
They won the league but everyone enjoyed seeing Liverpool getting hammered by Man City this week.

They prepared like professionals, of course.
Considering they must have been partying without sleeping for the last 3 days, I think Liverpool are playing very well.

They won the all-important pre-match battle, though.

He had us in the first half, not going to lie.
I remember winning a league with one game still to be played. Celebrations lasted a few days and the hangover even longer! We lost our last game 6-0, but had a cup final still to play. We used that loss as motivation to go on and be crowned Under 15 league and cup winners 2005

Arsenal are the Premier League’s official banter club, but we need to appreciate just how bad Spurs have been this year.
Hate this model of TV series getting shorter and shorter. Everything’s just a miniseries now. Whole arc of Mourinho arrival to implosion condensed into one year.

Carlo Ancelotti didn’t even know the player he was being asked about.

Newcastle UTD – Steve Bruce
Cons: A little bit on the older side, & a bit of a disciplinarian around the gaff but consistent with this & generally fair.
Pros: top level of banter for an old bloke & loves a chippy tea. Happy to share a few cans with you too on the weekend
