Brilliant. Fat Sam as the Joker is particularly disturbing. 

Love the Brent style look to camera from Mourinho when he says producing accurate portraits is easy. :D

Yeah the meta-joke about producing accurate portraits given some of the ridiculous slack in the comments was great. The Fat Sam-Joker is a classic

My only criticism is that he should’ve used the ‘Gallagher’ haircut so prevalent in Manchester instead.

Excellent comic nonetheless.

It's a reference to a photo at the weekend of two City fans with ridiculous ginger bouffants isn't it?  Can't find the picture bit I think it was posted on here.

It's the small things that crack me up:  Ozil's eyes in the half-priced hooligan pic, or Rosie the dog sitting in front of Harry Redknapp in the last one.

Sweet Jesus.

I think it was this that set me off as much as anything alse. Fuck me, I was in tears. A few weeks back there was that Australian newsreader doing a blooper that I didn't understand. It's the going off and working wtf has been going on in 'in your absense' that makes it worth while. Great that he's got a political slot. He's just brilliant. I love the fact that I just don't understand many of his gags at first ;D

I would've missed Lewis Hamilton's Diana poem without Squires keeping us filled in.  What the hell is that all about?

Today's, on the Lukaku song, is one of his best yet.

Must admit I love Squires but didn't particularly think that - he's best when he's funny, rather than ranting away; for once, maybe first time, I thought today's was largely a misfire and could have been done with a bit more subtlety.

It's precisely the lack of subtlety by fans that he's having a go at. Those singing that song in spite of the player asking them not, are bellends.
