No wonder lefties are mirth less twats, if that's what passes as 'funny'!!

I am often baffled by the obscure references and running gags in Squires, but Rashford attempting to listen to a CD and Trips failing at Alli's goal celebration both raised a smile.

I wish it raised a smile - my face would suggest a mix of 'baffled' and 'annoyed'

Like most satirical humour you either like it or don't.

I clicked the link and saw the Guardian come up and pressed back up very quickly. I'm sure I'm glad I didn't see it.

We cant all be the kind of hilarious person who thinks having a silly monkey as an avatar is amusing.

Squires is consistently brilliant. This is very funny. The Emery bit in particular, and Guardiola - that Amazon doc is painful viewing

Journalism that makes you have to look up its references is not a bad thing. It’s how we learn things ??

(Altho he appears to have pinched the Grand Designs gag from F365)

Bit marmite. I got the references. Just think more went into matching the references to the cartoon without actually making it that funny. Felt a bit dated, something that would appear in the paper pre-internet. Thought the bloke must be about 80. He’s 43.

He’s incredibly popular.

Cartoonists on all papers still get paid an absolute fortune.

The idea of Guardiola recreating John Sitton's infamous rant has really tickled me.

Well I'm a lefty and I don't find it funny either.
Dunno what that says about me...
