The copies of the dear leader's arse coming out as pictures of his face

It's the little things like that that make these so good.

Didn’t spot that at all

Good one

I love Aguero but that really wasn't one of his best. Also, it doesn't even look like Aguero and his drawings are usually spot on.

Yeah, not one of his best but I did like the Maradona father-in-law panel

Only half? I think I got about eight of them and they were pretty much "... oh yeah" moments.

A couple of below par weeks from Squires. Maybe I missed the one where he ripped on clubs for taking the mickey with getting games postponed.

I know, I looked it up. It's also a reference to the classic Nirvana album, with Ryan Broom in place of the baby, and a football in place of the greenback.

I tell you, Squires lurks on these boards. Colin Wanker and now the bogey man.

The penultimate frame reminds me of Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” when they are coming up with ideas for Springtime for Hitler. “Bialystok and Bloom, Bloom and Bialystok”

Edit: over to you Capon, “Springtime For Duncan and the Gladys St, the boostep’s the new step for me…”
