Phil Jones was busy doing ‘front crawl’ at Bramall Lane, Tony Adams didn’t hold back on the BBC about Arsenal and shameless stuff from Joe Cole on BT Sport on Saturday, all in Social Shots.
In our weekly feature, we take a look at the best social media posts from across the world of football over the weekend. Football and social media can go hand in hand, but not everyone gets it right. Here, we celebrate those that do, highlighting the posts that have made us chuckle, the videos of wonder goals that we’ve just had to watch again, or just anything we felt simply had to be shared…
Phil Jones at his finest
Just Phil Jones doing ‘front crawl’, according to Gary Neville.

Pure smut from Dele!
Best bit of skill from the weekend? What about Dele Alli doing a madness at the London Stadium? Huge win for Tottenham this with the Jose Mourinho era off with a bang following that 3-2 win at West Ham.
Dele Alli, that is UNREAL
A ridiculous piece of improvisation to help set up Spurs' second goal…
SO GOOD

Jose helps banish away day blues
And it looks like the new gaffer definitely enjoyed Tottenham’s first top flight away win since January.
"They look like a Jose Mourinho team after one game."
"They are going to be a MASSIVE threat over the next few years!"

Cole touting for business?
Pundit highlight of the weekend for us was Joe Cole here definitely not putting himself in the frame for the West Ham job on national TV. As your Nana used to say ‘Shy bairns get nowt!’
"I would love to see West Ham do well … this club historically needs a young manager with a plan.."
Could Joe Cole return to his West Ham roots?

Big Tone tells it like it is
Even ‘Mr Arsenal’ himself Tony Adams struggled to find any positives from Arsenal’s abysmal display against Southampton on Saturday. Are the sands of time running out for Unai Emery?
"The boos are deserved!"
Tony Adams voices the frustrations of Arsenal fans.

LiVARpool’s league this year?
There were plenty left shaking their heads – Paul Merson among them – by another virtually unfamothable VAR decision to disallow a Crystal Palace goal against Liverpool at the weekend.
"Shall we give Liverpool the league now?”

From hero to zero
Some week for Gareth Bale. He started it by helping guide Wales to Euro 2020 and ended it by getting absolute pelters from the Real Madrid fans at the Bernebeu. Another example of how social media pics can have serious consequences in the workplace!

VAR in the spotlight again
Another weekend. Another Premier League goal ruled out as a player’s armpit was offside. Anyone else reckon VAR is beginning to stink?
Raheem Sterling thought he'd scored Manchester City's third.

Standing shoulder to shoulder
Ajax and Heracles players stood still for the first minute after kick-off, as part of an anti-racism protest across the Netherlands’ top two divisions over the weekend. Great gesture.

Guess who’s back, back again?
Manchester United failed to win again at the weekend and raised more than a few eyebrows with their decision to start with Phil Jones at Bramall Lane
Every, and we mean EVERY single Man Utd fan at Phil Jones right now…#mufc #SHUMUN pic.twitter.com/DhdTduMhCD

De Gea still No. 1 for Red Devils
Collectively Manchester United just weren’t at the races in the first half at Bramall Lane on Sunday. Thankfully for them David De Gea was. Incredible stuff this from the Spaniard.
DE GEA DOUBLE SAVE!
The Spaniard keeps Man United out of trouble with a fine double save. Should McGoldrick score from there?

Sack race hotting up
Horrible weekend for fans of Arsenal, Everton and West Ham and after the weekend’s results the bookies reckon Marco Silva is now hot favourite to be the next top flight boss to lose his job.
Unai Emery, Marco Silva and Manuel Pellegrini are all looking vulnerable. Who do you think will be the first to leave their post?

On this Day
On this very day 27 years ago Dutch master Marco Van Basten was busy reminding folk that he was still one of the finest strikers in Europe. That overhead kick though. Wow.
It’s the 27th anniversary of one of the best performances in Champions League history. Marco Van Basten scores four for Milan vs Gothenburg, including a superb Scissorbastard.
What a finisher. Filthier than a rat’s ballbag.pic.twitter.com/SnKGfg8sAg
