This weekend’s most exquisite tweets include a consummate murder from Everton’s Apostolos ‘Norman Bates’ Vellios, a nasty skipping rope accident involving the captain of Leyton Orient, and a cunning plan for Tottenham Hotspur that may one day result in a film titled The Great Bale McEvoy Swindle

Let’s get a look at the two side by side…

Gareth Bale and Kenneth McEvoy
