Niasse sounds like a lovely man. Hopefully will smash the World Cup next year as well.

I wonder which Leicester player is in line for the obligatory wonder strike today. Vardy, Drinkwater, Slimani, I suppose Mahrez is due but I think I'll go with Ndidi.
How the fuck has Salah scored that but missed the first.
Two fantastic goals. Nobody scores freekicks like Coutinho. Glad I tuned in for this.
Liverpool crumbling in the second half is probably nailed on now.
What's this Lukaku song everyone is moaning about? Newspaper articles reference it but never say what it is.
Something about him having a two foot willy.
I'm watching Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest. Pity me.
lol, some chopper just strolled straight through Air Vice Marshal Sir JT and pals to equalise. Villa will never go back up.
Hendo Magic.
Imagine if we could defend even a little bit.
Proper English penalty.
10 goals shipped in 3 away games so far.
I was going to say that Liverpool should get some sort of brand boost bonus for playing such daft football, but then they might spend it on a capable defence which would ruin it.
They probably wouldn't.
That's why I said might. Not worth the risk.
Great game.
Sturridge did well for the winner (in his funny 'I'm on the beach' half-pace mode) and it was the only time he didn't solely think about shooting regardless of the circumstances.
Mahrez was quiet, they don't seem as intent on playing through him now. Albrighton is one of those '7/8 out of 10 every week' players - still no England cap.
I love that in the beeb's write up of the Liverpool game Coutinho is described as 'the former Inter Milan playmaker'.
After reading wengers comments about gibbs, it confirmed my suspicions about him having sentimental feelings towards academy players like they are his biological children.
Commentators do it all the time too because it sounds like knowledge and they equate that with wisdom.
"Excellent shot from the Ivory Coast man."
Fuck off.
I could get on board with "Brazilian playmaker", but references to fleetingly featured for long distant clubs (as with the Drogba example) just reek of wiki research absent any actual knowledge of football.
That Sheffield United support is proper awful.
Nile Ranger will forever be a 'former Newcastle United player'.
Did he not sign from Inter only a couple of years ago? It's not as if he used his youth club from when he was 15 as a reference.
About 5 and he 'played' for them for about 6 months all told.
Ah. Way longer than I thought.
I don't know who the Sky co-commentator is for this Sheffield match but he's just said (of cherubic United forward David Brooks): 'He was player of the tournament at the Toulon tournament this year, but he didn't know it because they said it in foreign'.
I hope he finished that off with a good hearty 'innit'.
Not sure how much of this was pre-planned, but in tribute to the Rangers lad/manager clash yesterday:
Wednesday goal there was smooth as fuck.
Hahahaha, decent game this. Stadium was rocking there too.
The Brooks lad I mentioned earlier looks like a serious player. Just declared for Wales as well. It must be the done thing.
The game was painful yesterday, we could have played another 90 minutes and not come close to scoring. United are so well drilled.
We are missing something, annoyed me that we kept trying to go down our left rather than through Cedric and Tadic who would have surely been more of a threat against Rashford and Young.
Wendies.
Seeing as Hammer isn't here, one of us needs to do it for him.
MIGHTY BLADES
Did you go or were you walking to somewhere like Carlisle?
They were very good, were United. That bloke Leon Clarke was an absolute donkey yet at the key moments just bullied Wednesday into submission.
I just put the telly on thinking Arsenal were playing Chelsea.
Did Sky show the Sheffield derby ('Steel City' is a bit out of date) as part of NISSAN SUPER SUNDAY? Millions of Asians must have been fuming.
I see our game brought a flood of posts in. Enjoyed that, and good to feel the ground so happy at full time. A portion of our fans are still obsessed about the supposed striker issue (I swear this has been the main topic of discussion since Bobby Zamora first left a decade and a half ago); even after Hemed scored again today there's people going on about it.
Still think we'll stay up. Newcastle too, they were just a little lethargic today.
