The funniest tweets from the world of football this week, featuring the reaction to Frank Lampard’s sacking, Zlatan Ibrahimovic opening his big mouth when he should shut up, and Simpsons characters as Premier League managers.
There’s also Arsenal’s flawless approach to squad management, Jesse Lingard’s move to West Ham United, and Seamus Coleman’s classy message to Yannick Bolasie.
Frank Lampard lost his dream job on Monday and as you can imagine the outpouring of sympathy was massive.

Can't believe we've got the greatest recession and the highest death rate in the world and only Tory to lose their job is Frank Lampard

Okay, maybe not, but at least he created a little slice of history as a former Chelsea manager.
Lampard the only permanent Chelsea manager since 2004 to get the Club Statement hat-trick, which I think is a #classytouch pic.twitter.com/q7Ol3L52HN

Frank Lampard has learned that not everything in life is meant to come so easily
Maybe Zlatan should probably be less concerned with building up his cult image and just get on with scoring goals, huh?

Thomas Tuchel is a good tactical fit for Chelsea – but that may not be enough to guarantee success
I’m sure every Man United fan shares this same pain at seeing Jesse Lingard leave the club. Dry your eyes, lads; he’ll be back in six months.

Why Liverpool’s goal scoring woes in the Premier League should only be temporary
Tomas Soucek is a potato salad-loving legend of a man.
The most beautiful feeling in football is when you realize you have helped your team. But this time I want to dedicate the win and my two goals to my wife. It's really tough time for her as she can't see anyone from the family. Thank you for taking care of me and our daughter! ♥️ pic.twitter.com/ZupZZhzoK3

Another classy gesture as Yannick Bolasie praised his Everton captain Seamus Coleman.
Will always be my guy ???? Captain & Friend, this is what we spoke about in October & it’s never stopped…I believe in myself but when my teammates do as well it always gives you a different drive #ThankYouCapo pic.twitter.com/HReGF0AW9p
