Tweets of the Week: Mystic Sherwood, Big Sam returns and Arsenal’s neverending pain

The best and funniest tweets from the world of football this week, featuring Tim Sherwood’s fortune telling, Big Sam Allardyce finds a new Premier League club, Arsenal’s awful campaign, and Jack Grealish’s hell of a week.

If we could replace Boris Johnson with Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara for the Covid-19 announcements, that would be great.

It’s not the first time he’s made a bad prediction.

Tim Sherwood, April 1912:

“Yeah, nah, y’know, I’m not worried about this thing sinking. I mean, it could come back to bite me, but this is one of the finest ocean liners ever constructed by the White Star Line. Icebergs would just bounce off it. I’m not worried at all.” pic.twitter.com/lplbGYjy8y

Big Sam is back, baby!

Find someone who looks at you like struggling Premier League sides look at Sam Allardyce

Arsenal might be wishing they had moved for Allardyce first.

Tier 10 is when you’re locked in a room and forced to support Arsenal.

They’re already getting used to hoofing the ball away, at least.

Agreed.

I think we can all agree that the last thing Twitter needs is more Arsenal fans https://t.co/SQj6CUa4o3

Heroic backs-to-the-wall stuff by 11-man Newcastle to cling on against Fulham.

Please can I be put in whichever tier means I don't have to watch Steve Bruce's Newcastle United again.

Five of the biggest feuds between teammates in football

A great week for Jack Grealish on the pitch, not so much off of it.

#BANNED | An international footballer who crashed into parked vehicles and mounted a pavement has been banned from driving today.

Jack Grealish had disobeyed lockdown rules to meet friends at the time.

This was a masterful piece of deception to be fair, though.

Grealish got someone to drive his motor up to the court to distract the press as he walks in the other way, almost the perfect bit of shithousery pic.twitter.com/pYsxE6B8u2

Can we be sure it’s really water and not something… stronger?

Why do goalkeepers always take a giant swig from a water bottle after making mistakes?

God only knows where those bibs have been.

If you’ve ever worn one of those unwashed bibs at football training you don’t have to worry about what’s in the vaccine.
