Bad language, litter-bugs seeing red, mysterious fruit, and frantic searches for stability - it was a colourful weekend on the pitches up and down the land. Here's it all summed up in the 11 reaction tweets you shouldn't miss...

1. When you already know that no matter how many promises of presenting in your underpants you make, Leicester will not be winning the Premier League two years in a row. That is, unless a much-maligned striker is playing against your team...

2. Come on now Claudio - haven't you heard the one about it 'being a game of two halves'?...

3. If Hull City defender Curtis Davies grows tired of football (and conceding five against Liverpool could be a bit of a motivator), he should go into teaching - he's got marking down to a tee...

4. Stability... STABILITY?! Has anyone seen stability around here? I swear I just saw it a minute ago. If you do see it, can you send it on to David Moyes? He can't find it either and is in dire need...

5. You were 2-0 down to Sunderland, and then managed to score three. You can't help but be filled with that good old British pessimism. Something must be about to go wrong. Inevitably, you concede a free-kick from 35 yards out in the last few seconds. Every fan will relate to this massive sense of relief...

7. You've just captained your team through 90 gruelling minutes, putting your heart and soul into every touch. The result? You've lost 3-0 at home to Southampton. Giving the post-match interview a positive spin is always going to be tough - which is probably why Mark Noble didn't bother...

8. You're playing for Preston North End against your Lancashire rivals, Wigan, and you score the winning goal. If there's a time when people will let you off for being a potty-mouth, it's probably now...

10. Your team has just won 6-1. Do you tweet an image of one of the goals? Perhaps a picture of you and your team mates celebrating? Nah, everyone does that. What's really powerful is your dirty boots, socks, shin pads and some random fruit on the floor. Is it melon? Is it a lemon peel? WE NEED TO KNOW JOZO. WE NEED TO KNOW.

11. There's no excuse for being a litter bug. Hylton, exactly who do you expect to clear that mess up?
