The Mou pushing de Gea over panel relates to an amazing video from this week where a little lad is playing Sunday league and not paying attention whatsoever, and the dad runs on to the pitch to push his lad over into the path of the ball to make the save. It's absolutely brilliant.

Dad's despair after the rebound in an empty net was top notch as well. As in "Oh sod it. Can't help anymore."

Project Longbow is the name of Man City's scheme to get around FFP. I assume 'Project Strongbow' is a made-up low-rent West Country version.

Must be it, cheers...

Haha, oh yeah, that makes much more sense than Moggrie

Could also be a reference to Peter Moggrie, top-hatted Evertonian forward from their glory years in the early nineties.

This week’s offering.

The Trump Secret Service Man is a sneaky one,
But Mick McCarthy as Bobby Ewing is a classic.

David Luis for me

I thought the sandwiches were simply a commentary of the modern fans tastes, but of course there is more to it:

A woman who taped flares underneath the clothes of a child in an attempt to smuggle them into Argentina's Estadio Monumental for the Copa Libertadores final second leg between River Plate and Boca Juniors on Saturday has been arrested.

A video showed a woman fastening flares to the child's body with white duct tape, with both individuals wearing River jerseys.

The images were shared on social media and police, using specialised software, reviewed social network activity in detail to identify the woman and arrest her.

"The Buenos Aires prosecutors' office have arrested a person involved in relation to the images that were broadcast Saturday, in which a woman was seen placing several pyrotechnic objects on the torso of a minor, with the aim of getting them into the River Plate stadium," Buenos Aires authorities announced on Twitter.

The woman could face two-to-six years in prison for breaching article 106 of the country's penal code, which refers to putting someone's life in danger -- and the punishment could be even more severe if she is found to be the child's mother.

Sadly, I seem to have a question every week...

Who is the guy in the shower, and who is ogling?

Is it Mick? But not Kenny?

For the record, I bought Squires's book to try and improve my discernment...

Can football stop creating news for five fucking minutes, so I can write this cartoon?

I’m finding his panels are more miss than hit recently.

Referring to our complaints about the PSG players rather than a specific manager I think.

I have to accept that I'm in a small minority, or maybe I've lived abroad for too long, but Squires' stuff leaves me stone cold. Years ago I'd have said it doesn't belong in the Guardian, except that these days it's a fair reflection of what the Guardian has become.

Anything happen over the weekend that might be included in tomorrow's strip? I'll profess I was on a date on Sunday afternoon so missed some football maybe.
