The best and funniest tweets of the week from the world of football, featuring Spurs manager Jose Mourinho ignoring Heung-min Son as if he was his least favourite son, how Uefa fixed the racism problem, and why VAR is voting for Boris Johnson on December 12.
I love these family get-togethers.

A flawless strategy.

Surely not an actual rule – but I’m far too lazy to confirm it myself.
My personal favourite among the more obscure FA rules:
