And so farewell, Nigel Pearson.
In a move that took pretty much everyone by surprise, the Leicester City boss, who masterminded his side’s incredible escape from relegation last season, was sacked today.
In happier times (Richard Sellers/PA)
We’re sad to see him go – partly because it’s always sad to see somebody lose their job, but mostly because it means we won’t get any more moments like this.
We’re also a little bit happy because it gives us an excuse to watch this over and over again.

Why on earth did they sack him?
If you understand why Nigel Pearson has been sacked….then you are….an ostrich. #lcfc

There’s only one possible explanation.
Maybe the Leicester owners have their head in the sand like an ostrich and missed what that man did last season. #lcfc

We are not the only ones sad to see him go.
Goodbye you crazy ostrich man, you will be sincerely missed

Nigel Pearson is probably on holiday, with his head in the sand, like an ostrich

Now we’re trying to imagine what his response was when he heard he’d been sacked.
Then you, you, you are an ostrich

Yeah, that’ll be it.
And here’s something that thousands of tweeters will have realised for the first time tonight.
Side note, There isn't an Ostrich Emoji!
Criminal!
