10. QPR recorded a remarkable comeback last night to stun Liverpool (and Phil Thompson) after the Reds has led 2-0 with 18 minutes remaining. As you can tell by his facial expression, Sky Sports panellist Thomo literally can’t believe what he is seeing when Jamie Mackie pops up with a late late winner at Loftus Road.

9. Alejandro Paz couldn’t be all there. The Peruvian extreme cyclist sets off on death-defying downhill run along a narrow mountain path… covered with jagged rocks and boulders. It’s not surprising that the daredevil stunt has got over two million hits on YouTube in two weeks.

The Ivorian looked completely miffed when Sky’s Geoff Shreeves quizzed him on it before last night’s Premier League win over Chelsea.

4. Life-long Liverpool fanatics Mr & Mr Hans chose to tie the knot with a wedding in Singapore themed around the Premier League club. We’re just a little disappointed that the groom did go the whole hog and don a cream suit from the 1996 FA Cup final.

2. ‘Unsuperlativable’ is what some people were using to explain the best player of his generation during the week. Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in Tuesday’s 5-2 drubbing of Grenada and in doing so broke Barcelona’s all-time record previously held by Cesar Rodriguez. Here are all 234 goals:

1. Ireland and Australia lost a legend on Tuesday when Jim Stynes finally lost out to the cancer which he had been living with for nearly three years. The have been countless tributes but this short video does its best to capture why the man was so highly-regarded.
