Leeds United directed a playful jab at their rivals across the Pennines following Ruben Amorim's dismissal yesterday - and of course it has instantly gone viral.
The Portuguese gaffer was relieved of his duties after 14 months in charge on Monday morning, with him soon after pictured taking a walk and giving his best wishes to journalists.
The decision follows a breakdown in the relationship between the club's hierarchy and Amorim, with his last match being a 1-1 draw at Elland Road on Sunday.
Amorim, 40, went in on the United board in his post-match press conference, particularly at Jason Wilcox.

Subsequently, reports have now surfaced that Wilcox and Amorim had major disagreements over coaching methods and tactical methods on the Friday.
Amorim became increasingly frustrated with his power in the role, stating that he wished to become manager, not the head coach, his current position.
Wilcox, a former Leeds winger himself, was in attendance at Elland Road on Sunday, with the Leeds faithful fully aware.

After the sacking, Leeds United's X handle then dedicated their 'Goal of the Day' to his free-kick v Newcastle United in a 2-2 draw at St James' Park in March 2000.
Supporters loved the swipe in the interactions to the post, with one openly stating: "The most under-appreciated tweet I've seen in a long time. Great work by the Leeds admin."
Another claimed: "People don't realise how funny this is."
A third user remarked: "I see what you're doing here. Fair play."
United supporter's didn't take the news well, on the other hand: "Hope you get relegated."
