It’s really, really great that a sport so loved as football is so unserious.
You can watch goal compilations for hours and appreciate the art and wizardry of the game, but we all love it when the game falls into comedic disrepute.
With the new year on the horizon, come and join us on a trip through 2023 via football’s funniest moments.

Danny Welbeck’s goal for Brighton & Hove Albion against Liverpool was commentated on by Gary Taphouse, who came up with a superb line to be taken out of context.
Why did Manchester United, seven days removed from winning the Carabao Cup, decide to lose 7-0 away to their most bitter of rivals? Why did they do that? For what reason?

🚨 Graham Potter à un évènement de Chelsea ce soir :
“On va essayé de battre Everton, on prend le tirage au sort et nous allons essayer de gagner cette fucking Champions League”

Graham Potter wanted to “win the f***ing Champions League” with Chelsea. He was sacked before their next European game, with Frank Lampard brought back to lose to Real Madrid.
Perhaps the funniest thing about Antonio Conte’s final meltdown is that reports the day after it happened claimed he wasn’t trying to dig out the club or the ownership.
Good one, Antonio.

The lesson in all this is you should just have the bottle to watch your own team take a penalty.

Liverpool would go on to win this game 4-3 in the last minute. Jurgen Klopp took out his pent-up frustration on the fourth official and paid the price for it.

Liverpool thought they had Moises Caicedo. They didn’t. They thought they had Romeo Lavia. They didn’t.
Still, at least Jurgen Klopp sees the bright side of this saga now.
