It’s been a long, long countdown, but finally, the results are in: Joe Biden is the new President of the United States of America!
Yes, despite Donald Trump insisting on Twitter that he actually won the election…’by a lot’…he actually did, and Joe Biden will hold the hot seat in the White House for the next four years. . .

Finally, the results filtered in on Saturday evening, confirming that Trump had lost to his opponent Biden by a wide margin. While this perfectly edited tweet below might suggest that the decision was confirmed by an ‘official statement’ from the White House, the reality was far less amusing.

Of course, plenty of Twitterers took great delight in the managerial change, with one user channeling his inner ‘young Jose Mourinho’, pointing to the sky and charging around like a headless chicken.

One man who needs to find a possible way to stay relevant in the autumn months is Fabrizio Romano, and the transfer guru delivered his trademark ‘here we go’ on the election results. Classic Fab.

German football followers were clearly delighted that the outcome of the major election had been decided ahead of ‘Der Klassikker’, the huge derby between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Good on the US election for sorting itself out before #DerKlassiker. #BVBFCB

The out-of-context football manager also enjoyed Mr Trump’s departure, encouraging his followers to strip in the holy name of the Wonder Kids. To be fair, there’s nothing quite like uncovering the next Lionel Messi in the Uruguayan second division, and pouring your heart and soul into his development, is there?
