It ridiculous that outside of this club, when people talk about the most attractive footballers this guy never gets mentioned

DR Congo haven't qualified for a World Cup since 1974, and that is their only appearance at a World Cup in their history, and given how pivotal that Senegal game was, where had they won, they would have all but qualified, and that Wissa is one of, if not their best player, we have no right to request anything of them, and if we did, i'm not sure Wissa would have been too fond of that decision anyway. If they qualify, he goes down as a legend.

Other than the last game of the season, I can't remember the last time there where 8 Premier League games on a single day.

Something tells me Ruben Selles may be out of a job in about 2 hours.

Sheffield United look proper trash. They're staring down 6 defeats in 6 this season.

I'm not discounting what you're saying, it could be true, but I highly doubt he'd have played on for 5/10 minutes, and then walked off the pitch if he has ruptured his ACL.

Thats good, i've got an ACL too. They're pretty important in everyday function. So i'm glad evolution invented the ACL.

He's not even slipped our shirt on yet

And somehow the most galling thing about it is that its HTTP and not HTTPS.

Right. Back to the real stuff.

He looked fine when he was walking off, I may have missed it but it didn't seem like he was limping.

Wissa taken off alongside a physio, he looked pretty gassed the last 10 minutes so hopefully it was just that and nothing more sinister.

2-0 Big Wis with the goal.

They're in the same time zone as us, so in terms of jet lag, there shouldn't be any really, it's just it's a 12 hour flight from DR Congo to Newcastle.

Congo winning. Quality goal too.

Its also on the free FIFA+ app.

West Ham have a distinctive smell of Mourinho imo.

Got the half-zip fleece. That feels like something you could wear casually out and about.

Atleast we now know the answer to the "Who are the relegation threatened teams going to appoint when they sack their manager?" question. He's a solid coach, but his style of play was unsustainable at a high level, and we started to see the downwards trend of that toward the end of last season. Ange going there would be hilarious, I can't think of a worse manager stylistically to inherit what Nuno has done.

Its Israel that have 3 games left, whereas Italy will have 4. That said, Italy don't even have the backup of a Nations League qualifying playoff birth as things stand.

Not sure where else to put this, but I find it interesting that a lot of high profile managers are struggling at international level currently.. Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Pochettino & Spalletti, whether you rate them or not, would all be considered top tier club managers that would likely get the top jobs around Europe, and yet each of them are struggling/ struggled to various degrees over the last couple of years. Its been mooted before, but it's clearer than ever that International and Club management are two completely different entities that require completely different styles of management.
