Wayne Rooney nets his 175th league goal in win against QPR to draw level with Thierry Henry as the Premier League's joint third highest all-time top goalscorer Wayne Rooney has drawn level with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as the Premier League's joint third highest goalscorer after the Manchester United captain netted in his side's emphatic 4-0 win over Queens Park Rangers.
The Englishman scored in the 44th minute to add to his Premier League goal tally which now stands at 175 goals.
His strike ensured Louis van Gaal's side went into the interval with a healthy lead after Angel di Maria and Ander Herrera scored their first goals for their new club - before Juan Mata added a fourth in the second half to complete the rout.

The former Everton forward reached the landmark in 377 appearances, whereas Henry took just 258.

Sidney Onoriode Esiri, son of late legendary actor, Justus Esiri a.k.a Dr Sid is definitely having himself a ball with life. Aside his booming career, the singer just married the love of his life, Simi Osomo and the icing on the cake came for him when telecom giant, MTN slammed him with a multimillion naira ambassadorial deal.
The cool-headed singer who confided in Potpourri that he is having a blissful marriage experience said the Mavin crew are all a big family.
Also speaking on his hit single Surulere, the singer told us the inspiration behind the song. “Obviously some people were mistaking Surulere thinking we were talking about Surulere, the area. It does work on two levels” he said
We hail the people from Surulere because even I, as an artiste, when I started out in music with Trybe Records, we were based in Surulere. Surulere basically means ‘Patience is rewarding’ and it’s just a song that describes the journey of Dr Sid; Where I’ve been, where I’m at right now, where I’m going to, that’s the idea. We’re trying to create a song that could capture that experience and we also wanted to make a song that people can relate to. When you listen to the song it speaks to something in your soul and hopefully, it would inspire you and motivate you to push and keep working harder”.

Louis van Gaal admits he is extremely worried about the number of injuries his Manchester United players are suffering. Van Gaal will be without nine senior players for Sunday's match against Queens Park Rangers due to injury.

The treatment room was even busier before the international break, when Luke Shaw and Rafael were also out.

Van Gaal's predecessor David Moyes had to do without key players at times last year and the Dutchman is worried about the trend.

"This is a big concern, you are right, I think," the United manager said when it was put to him that United had suffered a lot of injuries in recent years.

Ashley Young was the latest first-team player to join the injury list this week when he suffered a groin problem.

Van Gaal demands a high level of intensity from his players in training, but the former Bayern Munich manager appears unwilling to reduce the workload on his squad.

"We have to evaluate how we train, but for the level I demand as a coach we need to train like that," said Van Gaal, who often puts his players through double sessions. "But the players have to adapt to that level and that's the crucial thing.

"Because we have to grow and develop ourselves to the top of this sport, the Premier League.

"But I am always evaluating myself. That philosophy has brought a lot of titles, I'm sorry to say that."

Chris Smalling, James Wilson, Sam Johnstone, Reece James, Jesse Lingard, Michael Carrick, Young and Marouane Fellaini are unavailable for the visit of QPR.

Phil Jones is also set for a month-long layoff due to a hamstring injury he suffered during England's 2-0 win over Switzerland on Monday.

After taking his summer spending past the 150 million-pound mark last week, Van Gaal still has plenty of options available though.

Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Shaw could all make their first appearances for the club.

Van Gaal: Now we need results

The United boss was giving little away regarding whether star striker Radamel Falcao would make his debut following his loan move from Monaco.

"I cannot tell if you he plays or not, because that's our surprise," Van Gaal said.

Falcao has only played 217 minutes for club and country since he suffered a serious knee injury in January.

Van Gaal has no idea how long it will take for the Colombian to get back to his best.

"That's a question we cannot answer," Van Gaal added.

"That's also dependant on form, shape and we cannot predict that."

He was freed of murder, we all know homicide is a more lower offence to murder

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of culpable homicide after the judge found he killed his girlfriend by mistake.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said the athlete acted "negligently" when he fired shots through a toilet door but in the "belief that there was an intruder".
She said the state had failed to prove he intended to kill Reeva Steenkamp.
He was also found guilty on a charge of negligently handling a firearm that went off in a restaurant.
Pistorius stood impassively in the dock with his hands folded in front of him as the judge read her verdict, which leaves the disgraced sprinter facing a jail sentence of up to 15 years.
Legal experts suggest seven to 10 years is a more likely sentence.

America’s Most Expensive Home, the $139 million Gold plated mansion in Florida

A French-inspired mansion has just hit the market for a stellar $139 million, making it the most expensive home publicly listed for sale in the U.S.
The palatial 60,000-square-foot estate known as Le Palais Royal is spread over four acres and 465 feet of beachfront on Millionaires Mile in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. Le Palais Royal draws inspiration from the Palace of Versailles with gold leafing, stone walkways, balconies and six fountains. Though the palace is currently under construction, here is a sneak peek inside the America’s Most Expensive Home.
The entrance of the house features a 26-foot fountain, plated in gold leaf. The lobby bleeds into ‘Le Salon’, a room overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It also has a 492-foot private dock for a mega-yacht and 465 feet of private beachfront.
The vaulted foyer opens to sweeping marble staircase with steel-iron and gold leaf railings, which alone costs $ 2 million and took craftsmen over two years to complete.
The grand palace features 11 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a bar and a lounge. Four of the bedrooms are master suites with own private Jacuzzis. It also comes equipped with nation’s first in-home IMAX theatre with seating for up to 18 people. The living room comes complete with a high definition 3-D television set, and a 1,300-gallon aquarium.
The house has an infinity pool with LED lighting, water slide and swim-up bar set beneath a 12-foot cascading waterfall. A fire pit will be positioned in the middle of the pool. Suspended above it, an infinity-edged Jacuzzi pours down into the pool.
It will also include an indoor spa, massage room, gym, putting green and a subterranean garage with parking for 30 vehicles.
The grand palace is slated for completion before the end of 2015.

British Government said it would send military and humanitarian experts to Sierra Leone to set up a medical treatment centre there to care for victims of the Ebola outbreak.
Britain took the decision after 11 major companies pressurised the international community to step up the fight against the worst outbreak of the disease.
Justine Greening, International Development Secretary, said on Monday in London that the 62-bed facility would be built and operated by British military engineers and medical staff near Freetown.
He said the initial phase would be operational within eight weeks.
“The scale of the problem requires the entire international community to do more to assist the affected countries,” he said.
Greening said that the epidemic in West Africa, the worst since the disease was discovered in 1976, had killed more than 2,100 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria and had also spread to Senegal.

The authorities of Adamawa State University, Mubi, in north east Nigeria has announced indefinite closure of the institution due to the fear of possible attack from Boko Haram insurgents.
Malam Hassan Tanko, Acting Registrar of the institution, announced the closure in Yola on Sunday.
The statement, which directed students to go home, stated that the university was closed indefinitely for security reasons.
Mubi, 25 kms from Gulak which was annexed Saturday by Boko Haram Islamic Caliphate, appears to be the next target for the militants.
A screengrab taken on August 24, 2014 from a video released by the Nigerian Islamist extremist group Boko Haram and obtained by AFP shows the leader of the Nigerian Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau (C), delivering a speech at an undisclosed location.
It provided a refuge for residents and soldiers who escaped from the besieged town of Gulak yesterday.
But the prevalent wisdom is that it may not be long before the town also falls to the rampaging militants.
Reports indicated that residents of Mubi jam-packed the motor parks to escape from the town and students therefore found it difficult to leave the town.
Some students of the university, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone that they were stranded due to residents rush to leave the town.
One of the students who identified himself as Ali said many commuters were now stranded in the commercial border town due to lack of vehicles.
“The Motor park is now jam-packed with stranded passengers with no vehicle to move them out,” Ali said

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has uncovered an illegal refinery in Achuze, a boundary town between Kogi and Edo States.
The refinery which has an administrative building and capacity to contain 150,000 litres of the petrol, also has a restaurant in front as a decoy.
The Kogi State Commandant, Mr. Dayo Adesuyi, who led the operation, weekend, disclosed that at least 80 drums containing crude oil waiting to be refined were discovered.
He said the refinery had been set ablaze by his men, adding that one suspect was arrested, while others escaped after a gun battle.
He also said the illegal refinery could refine 10,000 litres of fuel per day, stressing that the command is determined to ensure that those behind the act are fished out.

Man utd with the team they have they are title favourite

Saying goodbye is one of the hardest thing to do in life but we all have got to move on someday, and forWizkid, the time to say goodbye is quite imminent.
In a recent interview on ‘’ The Truth’’ withOlisa Adibua, Starboy Wizzy disclosed that he’s pretty much ready to drop the baton as a member of the EME recording label. He said; “This is pretty much my last album with E.M.E”.
When asked why he is leaving the E.M.E label, he had this to say; “I’ve been with E.M.E for 5years, so I don’t know what soon is, because when we started the whole Empire entertainment thing, it was to build an empire so everyone could grow, Skales is doing his thing, Banky is doing his thing too, we got Shaydee and Niyola, I got Starboy going on, so everyone is just trying to expand and grow at the end of the day”.
Speaking on his relationship with the label that groomed and launched him into stardom, he said “We are still family, we would still continue doing business together, Banky, Tunde and Segun Demuren are all like my big brothers, it’s a family thing, so we’ll definitely keep doing business”.
We all would recall that Wizkid tried leaving the label in 2012 but opted to stay back after huge media and legal drama but he seems to have made up his mind this time.
Whatever the case may be, we certainly wish him all the best…

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has defended his club’s transfer policy after criticism followed the sale of Angel di Maria to Manchester United.
The European champions sold Di Maria to United last month in a£59.7milliondeal – a British transfer record.
Madrid also sold Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso to Bayern Munich, much to the disappointment of Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently voiced his discontent and questioned Perez’s decisions.
“I know Cristiano Ronaldo very well,” Perez said in a press conference on Thursday.
“Cristiano is the best player in the world and his loyalty to Madrid is unquestionable.
“I have listened to all the comments he made and as I know him, I know that he never questioned the club.
“My relationship with him is perfect, there are zero discrepancies. “Cristiano is the best player in the world, it’s obvious, and more so this year.”
Perez revealed that Di Maria left Real no option but to sell him after the Argentina international had turned down an improved contract following his impressive 2013-14 campaign.
“I’ve been here since 2000,” Perez said. “Since then a lot of players have come and gone and my experience tells me that the ones that leave are always the best and those that arrive are always questioned.
“My first (signing) was (Zinezine) Zidane and the last (before this summer’s transfer market) was (Gareth) Bale.
“We made the best offer that we could to Di Maria and he didn’t accept it.
“Hence, we brought in James (Rodriguez), one of the best players at the World Cup and the Golden Boot award winner.
“Di Maria and all of those that have left have our gratitude and respect.
“A player that is under contract and leaves is because he wants to. “Real has always respected contracts.
“Di Maria had financial requests that I considered legitimate but we couldn’t satisfy them.
“I reiterate that we made him the best possible offer.
“With the exception of Cristiano (Ronaldo), Di Maria would have been the highest paid at Real Madrid.
“Had we accepted his financial demands it would have created an unbalanced treatment that would have put the club’s stability in danger.
“Di Maria left to Manchester for a fee that we considered fair and that is why the transfer was completed.
“We wish Di Maria the best professionally and personally.”
