Though I thought this one was quite good tbh.

First frame has interesting drug cheat reference

Disappointed at the lackof #cans references.

Pretty sure panel 4 is a nod to my Sparky bait 'Mourinho's munchkins' thread tho:

Could this be the season Jose shakes his abu youngsters tag?
A very strong pre season for the younger contingent in the squad getting mins.
Needs to translate to competitive minutes but the signs look promising for them all.

Youth was always a stick used to beat Jose but he seems to put more faith in this lot
Or maybe they're just better than he's had before?
Under Fergie was probably the last time we had such a talented group to integrate.

Something to be excited about for the coming season imo.
McTominay and Perreira have been obvious highlights along with TFM and Axel
Easy to forget Rashford and Shaw are both so young.
Lingers and Pogba also ex youth teamers.
Love the production line we have here.

Perreira in goal is apparently also highly regarded by the coaching staff
It seems Mou really took the fans concerns about youth on board
Suppose the question here should be though:
Should Van Gaal get credit for leaving the youth setup in such great shape?

I keep thinking this must be a wind up. The Beano was funnier than this guy.

Admittedly, he is a bit hit & miss.

He relies on memes a lot, so it loses quite a bit when you don't get them

I got the distracted-boyfriend one & arrested development. Maybe something about The Hawthorns being the highest ground in the country. Think the rest went over my head

I've read funnier recipes.

And actually being closer to Smethwick than West Bromwich

Innit.

He's just a slightly more upmarket and smug version of the HashtagLOLBantz @#%&!s on Twitter.

If you don't think he's funny, you don't think he's funny

Personally I think that at his best he is brilliant, and no nay-sayers are going to convince me otherwise

Of course you're right, humour is subjective. However I would bet money you have the Good Life box set at home.

His best for ages....very very funny

My word

England are almost too easy a target, but he nails it.


No, mate


Hart in goal, Henderson as captain, Kane leading the line.... has there ever been an England side with less personality/character/talent?

Henderson as captain ffs.... Jordan. Henderson. Literally a nothing player.

Cut from the same cloth as the inspirational manager

Didn't think this was one of Squire's best though. The henderson plum jam was decent.
