Did McGregor predict Mourinho's Man United downfall?
- Published
AS Roma share their dinner plans, Zlatan meets Mickey Mouse and Conor McGregor gives the last word on Jose - but is it the right one?
Another exciting weekend of football, with two stunning goals at Chelsea vs Liverpool, Arsenal leaving it late at Watford and the word “crisis” getting bandied about quite a lot in relation to “Manchester”, “United”, “José” and “Mourinho”.
Will he stay or will he go? Are people a bit tired of his bullish, self-assured, outspoken style of leadership?
Someone who clearly wouldn't know anything about those kinds of things is shy and retiring wallflower Conor McGregor...
1) The Notorious has spoken...
... a few years ago.

Ok, he probably meant UFC fighter Jose Aldo but three years on and McGregor’s tweet is doing the rounds after being re-cycled with a different meaning. Anyone got a three year old tweet about how good a ‘Joe' is so it can be re-purposed to highlight Joe Hart’s resurgence?
2) What’s for tea, AS Roma?
Roma beat Lazio 3-1 on Saturday, which could only mean one thing.

Nope, we've got no idea why they tweeted this either. Is there some hidden connection the team have to rice dishes that we just don't know about? Score three goals and you get your carbs? Well anyway, we feel people are missing a trick here by not retweeting this with the accompanying copy:
‘Roma really are giving us food for thought here’.
3) The crowd looks lively for Celtic the musical
You’d have to hope the people getting paid to put on the official show can match the performance of those outside.
4) Ian Wright thinks Gunnersaurus is a real dinosaur
“Don’t speak, it’s really weird and frightening.”
Wrighty clearly does not want to reconcile the idea that Gunnersaurus may just be a fella in a suit. Do not break character Gunnersaurus.
5) Can someone check if Joe’s come home yet?

Looks like 'Joe' enjoyed that late equaliser from Sturridge.

Fantastic. P.S anyone else think that “walking in a Waddle wonderland” sounds problematic? Does one not waddle in a “Waddle wonderland”? No?

To do that to your club captain. We’re sure words were had afterwards.

Thanks to that man for reminding us of, hands-down, the best moment of the 2018 World Cup – the extra-time-we’re-losing-and-about-to-be-knocked-out-of-this-competition-I-know-let’s-try-a-roly-poly-throw-in-which-backfires-and-wastes-precious-moments moment. Great times.
10) Goal of the season…on FIFA
United could have done with this on Saturday. Also, somewhere in the world there is a dad right now getting very vexed about this kind of show-boating.

From here on in, being honest about not having all the answers shall be called 'doing a Warnock'.
