Didn't think it was one of his best, but there are some good captions - "Leave means leave, Garcon" being my favourite!

He lives in Australia, so that makes sense.

Not sure that Ken Dodd would be allowed to take his tickle stick onto the pitch, but he's got more movement nowadays than Morgan Schneiderlin.

I like that Tom Pope's shirt sponsors are Milkshake Duck Enterprises.

KEN DODD

One of my first memories is being in Knotty Ash with an abscess and KEN DODD came round with his TICKLING STICK!

EDIT: wrote Alder Hey, it was KNOTTY ASH

The drawing of Ancelotti's expression is perfect, but it's the Drunken hand grabbing a fleeing Ancelotti's leg in the final frame that really cracks me up.

At least we were spared Nigel Pearson recreating the Jenny Agutter shower scene from American Werewolf, so I'm grateful for that.

Indeed, would have been nice to also take a poke at the hypocrisy of the sanctity of the fa cup side, you just know that most of the ones pushing for that right now since it is anti-liverpool will be whining like mad when england yet again fail in a summer tournament.

Exactly. It's like South Park, it only works if everyone is fair game and whatever your view of Klopp's decision this week, it is open to piss-taking. It's not his job to conduct a thorough journalistic review of the LFC vs PL vs FA situation, he's a cartoonist gently taking the piss out of us.

If you're a big club you're a big target. The guy is a Swindon Town fan. Not at all surprising that he would share the view of many small clubs which is deeply unsympathetic to our position given the disparity in size and resources between ourselves and clubs in League One or League Two.
