Right now, a whole squadron of Abu Dhabi shills have been stood down - their guardian logins dormant for now...

Last panel covers City

Haha, he must read BlueMoon - he's spotted that they slag off David Conn!

Brilliant once again. Just the drawings of Dyche and Howe make me laugh

That little icon of David Conn saying "Eh?!" just killed me

Although the last time I saw him I could swear his glasses were round......

Squires is a very talented illustrator but the jokes aren’t remotely funny, not even by chance.

Last couple of weeks have been a bit more miss than hit, but that one is bang back to form. The Abu Dhabi dictator's helicopter

That's one of the best for a while. Ederson's evil tattoo is amazing!

Very good one this week.

Special mention to the evil Ederson tattoo.

thats one of his best

Definitely back to his best - Mourinho washing his hands is classic.

You have to read it a couple of times to spot some of the little things - Mourinho's wall posters are excellent. As mentioned above Eric Dire in Marching costume is perfect.

Apart from the bolded "Justice" jibe, that was another excellent strip.

Yeah, what is that about? Whatever is driving it, just seems unnecessary, given the obvious connotations.

Yeah I smarted at that one too......unless it's an expression of solidarity. The Grauniad is, for many obvious reasons, a staunch supporter of that connection (David Conn, Adrian Tempany, Tim Knowles to name just three) so I'm erring on the side of there being nothing sinister in it.

Other than that, I'm crying laughing at this one.

Hodgson's Global Hypercolour t-shirt (go on, admit it, who else had one?! I even had the baseball cap and left it on the dash of my mini one summer so it got ruined)

José's SIMPLE PLAN poster

The smiley tattoo........oh god there are just too many gorgeous little comic references
