Mourinho helps open things up at the top of the table

The title race is blown wide open, Mourinho indulges in a spot of inadvertent advertising, and there's some fantastic dancing on display – all this and more in the top tweets from the weekend’s football.

1. Feeling secure

Looks like this post is no longer available from its original source. It might've been taken down or had its privacy settings changed.

If the weekend belonged to anyone, it was undoubtedly Spurs. A comfortable home win, a Chelsea defeat and clearly a relaxed aura around White Hart Lane.

2. Flashdance meets MC Hammer

Not to be outdone by their north London rivals, Arsenal somehow made sure one of their former players hogged the limelight during his first training session in charge of Granada.

OK, they lost 3-0 at home on Sunday, but you can’t put a price on these moves.

3. Perfection

As our usual tweet man takes some time off to get hitched, a famous voice has a little message for him...

What a man.

4. Loathe is in the air

Another wedding with a football slant this weekend, and it’ll probably require some explanation to the grandchildren many years from now.

Arsene Wenger probably thought he had some respite with his team not playing until Monday night, but he was wrong. He must be getting used to that...

5. Upsetting the odds

The experts saw this teamsheet and decided Man Utd had no chance against Chelsea.

That, of course, could only mean one thing. Yep, victory for Mourinho.

6. The devil is in the detail

Looks like this post is no longer available from its original source. It might've been taken down or had its privacy settings changed.

Wenger’s old sparring partner, Jose Mourinho, had a perfect day on Sunday with a 2-0 win over his old club. And his commitment to provocation is second to none.

7. False advertising

Mourinho had everything planned down to the smallest detail in his bid to defeat Chelsea and avenge the humiliation he suffered at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.

He did not, however, spend enough time working on his pointing.

8. Lineker looks ahead

That’s the way to do it - no point hedging your bets. The replies are, predictably, a little chippy...

9. Sunderland score a goal

When you haven’t scored in months, it’s better to be lucky than good. And David Moyes’ team certainly aren’t very good at the moment.

They even went on to score an unprecedented *second* goal in the game to clinch a point against West Ham... but they’re still bottom of the league. You can’t have everything.
