Summary
To ease you into the weekend, here’s another Best Of… episode, this time from the 2017/18 season! We hear of Neil Warnock hustling his Sheffield United players at a bowling alley, Mick McCarthy mugging off his own Ipswich fans and Louis van Gaal’s ghostly apparitions.
Plus, Jose Mourinho manages to give his Player of the Season award to himself, by dishing it out to Scott McTominay. Classic Jose.
Many thanks to infamous YouTuber Linford Grimes for their inspiration and help in compiling old content. We salute you.
