    On the brightside for Sheffield, their away kits look super fresh IMO.

    Also, does their keeper look like Keegan-Michael Key (from Key and Peele) to anyone else?

    The trick to not allowing a goal from the opponents first shot on target is not giving them a shot on target

    Honestly think Sheffield could break the record for the fewest premier league points of all time.

    Eddie hattrick. Tomi’s first goal. Vieira being Vieira. Smith Rowe AND Elneny assists. Kiwior being a rock at the back. Millimetres off the perfect game!

    Only a Havertz goal away from true perfection :(

      To be fair to Havertz, he was out there battling today. More spirited performance from him than any I’ve seen so far. Hopefully a sign of things to come!
