      Tuchel was removed from his job following last night’s shock 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.
      Potter is now reportedly on his way to London to discuss the vacancy with the Chelsea hierarchy, who want a new man in place as soon as Saturday.
      And his appointment could leave many Blues fans happy – not least a club legend.
      Terry was full of praise for the ex-Swansea coach a little over two weeks ago on Twitter.

      The former captain tweeted: “How good is Graham Potter? I love how Brighton play and he has to be one of the best young managers around.
      “Ticks every box for me.”
      His tweet came days after the Seagulls won 2-0 at West Ham, a number of impressive results they have pulled off this season.
      Other standout scorelines include their stunning opening weekend dismantling of Manchester United and their recent 5-2 win over hapless Leicester.

      While Brighton have had a stunning start to the season, Chelsea have faltered.
      Transfer business and falling out with players were central to the turbulent times at Stamford bridge which led to Tuchel’s sacking.
      Potter is far from the only man linked to the job, with the likes of ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino and former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane also in the frame.

      Chelsea fans are also already thinking about the new backroom staff – and some have said they would like to get Terry back to the club, if not as manager than assistant.
      One person on Twitter said: “John Terry is the perfect replacement for Thomas Tuchel.”
      Referencing Terry’s tweet about Potter, another mischievous fan said: “Part of me feels like now this was moving behind the scenes. ‘Ticks every box for me’ lol Terry knew something was cooking and Boehly would sack Tuchel sooner rather than later.” More

      Fans not impressed as Arsenal wear ‘basic £10 Adidas grey socks’ vs Man Utd

      However, their kit man was forced into action after it emerged their black socks would clash with United’s, which were the same colour.
      That led to Arsenal instead lining-up in grey and black socks – and eagle-eyed supporters soon realised that they were just standard Adidas ones rather than official club ones.
      They featured the sport manufacturers logo on the front rather than the back.
      Footy Headlines then claimed that they were the Adidas Adi Sock 21 model, which retail at £13, but can also be bought for around a tenner.

      One fan did point out that they had been worn before – although it was goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale that has donned them previously.
      However, those that noticed soon took to Twitter to take the mick out of the sock mishap.
      One wrote: “Those Arsenal socks look like white socks that’ve been in the washing machine with the dark laundry too often.”
      Another said: “Arsenal socks not even original.”

      A fellow fan wrote: “Who put their black pants in with Arsenal’s socks in the wash?”
      While a fellow supporter commented: “The arsenal away kit is one of the nicest they’ve ever had, but those grey socks are so ugly.”
      Arsenal’s mood soon turned to black as they were left fuming when VAR ruled out an opener from Gabriel Martinelli.
      United new boy Antony then broke the deadlock just before half time but the Gunners equalised through Bukayo Saka – despite him having a number of noticeable holes in his socks.
      But a double from Marcus Rashford sealed a 3-1 victory for United as they inflicted a first defeat of the season on Arsenal. More

      A section of supporters have been left frustrated by the club’s late summer transfer business.
      Over £100million was spent on Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos earlier in the window.
      But they did not make a signing on transfer deadline day, despite injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny.
      Late attempts were made to sign Douglas Luiz, but Aston Villa were adamant the midfielder was not for sale.

      Arsenal also chose not to bring in a new winger after allowing Nicolas Pepe to join Nice on loan.
      And it hasn’t gone down well with a portion of the fanbase, as some sensationally believe transfer chief Edu should be sacked.
      The hashtag “EduOut” was even trending on Twitter as supporters vented their fury.
      One wrote: “Letting Pepe go without signing a replacement is a sackable offence #EduOut.”

      Another said: “Imagine not replacing our 72 mill winger Pepe, not replacing Partey/Elneny and leaving us short for players when we have 9 games to play in October and a s*** load more… and people thought the ambition from the club was there. Shambles #EduOut.”
      “I think it’s time Edu leaves tbh. He really can’t negotiate a sizeable sale or a player price down. #EduOut.”
      Meanwhile, other Arsenal fans were left staggered that some want Edu to leave after this summer’s business.
      Jesus’ £45m arrival already looks a bargain after three goals and three assists in five games, while £32m for Zinchenko is a snip too.
      One supporter angrily wrote: “You lot are so stupid with this #EduOut. We got some stupid fans!”

      Another said: “I hate football Twitter. Why is #EduOut trending after our best windows in recent history. Clowns.”

      A third added: “I like that the St Mary’s pitch is disease-ridden. Hopefully ties into the notion that Southampton ‘is a tough place to go’.”

      This fan then remarked: “I don’t think I have ever seen a pitch in worse condition in August than Southampton.”
      One then commented: “That pitch at Southampton looks in bad shape. What’s the problem.”

      The account “Gillingham FC Tickets” updates Gills fans on getting access to games.
      But as the Twitter account attempted to give supporters the latest ticket info on their Papa John’s Trophy clash with League 1 Charlton, they somehow managed to make a strange mistake.
      Instead of putting out the tweet to all their followers, Gillingham FC tickets instead replied to one tweet.
      And the post they replied to was of a women wearing a tight top with her nipples visible – and proudly mentioning that she’s not wearing a bra.

      They have also lost three of their last four league games.
      Their only victory this season so far came over winless Rochdale, who have already sacked their manager. More

      Tottenham fans rally around Richarlison after ‘proper wind-up’ reply to Didi Hamann over ‘unsportsmanlike’ showboating

      by

      TOTTENHAM fans have rallied round Richarlison after he delivered a cheeky response to Didi Hamann’s claims that he should’ve been booked for showboating against Nottingham Forest.Richarlison treated Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Forest like a training session when he decided to do kick-ups as the match drew to a close.

      The Brazilian came on in the 74th minute and provided a superb cross to Harry Kane who scored and doubled his tally.
      Then with five minutes to go, Richarlison decided to break into an impromptu spell of keepy-uppy to the delight of Spurs fans.
      But not everyone was impressed with Richarlison’s display including Forest star Brennan Johnson who swiftly clattered into the striker, receiving a yellow card in the process.
      Johnson’s fury was shared by Liverpool legend Hamann who condemned Richarlison for being “unsportsmanlike.”

      He fumed: “Nothing to do with showboating. Should have been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and restarted with free kick to Forest.”
      But Richarlison was nonplussed by Hamann’s criticism and nonchalantly responded: “Cry more,” along with a crying face emoji under the German legend’s post.

      His blase reply was warmly received by Spurs fans who chimed in on the post.
      One fan mused: “We’ve got ourselves a proper wind up and I’m all for it,” accompanied by a crying face and hand clap emoji.

      And a third supporter added: “I love how cocky he is it’s ace,” with a few crying emojis.
      Their enthusiasm was shared by Hamann’s former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher who joked: “This is the type of sxxthousery I can get fully behind!”, with two crying face emojis.
      Carragher’s praise for Richarlison came after they squashed their Twitter beef when the Spurs and Forest match concluded.
      Despite the footy pundit initially slamming Richarlison for his showboating, the pair shared a warm embrace once the game was over.
      Carragher felt Richarlison’s wrath when he criticised the Brazilian’s performances for Everton last season – leading to the forward calling out the ex-Liverpool defender on Twitter.
