You may have heard two huge noises on Saturday evening.
One was the sound of jaws dropping in the Leeds United press area when Mohamed Salah opened his mouth to deliver one of the most explosive interviews seen for many a year.
The other was the sound of the toys he'd thrown out of his pram hitting the ground before he sounded off.

Liverpool's defence of their Premier League crown has been fairly wretched - albeit some perspective is still needed given how tight the standings are - and the last thing under-pressure manager Arne Slot needed was another crisis to deal with.
But that's what he got when selfish Salah decided to spit his dummy out after being placed on the bench for three, yes THREE, matches.
The Egyptian has become an absolute legend at Anfield and sits fourth in the all-time Premier League top goalscorer list.
He's third on the club's all-time scorers list with 250 goals and was a crucial reason Slot's side lifted the title last season.
Yet his performances this campaign have been well below par and, while he isn't alone, his manager has decided he doesn't deserve a place in his starting XI at the moment.
No player is bigger than any team and they're only as good as their last game (or games). Salah's been pretty poor in all of them. If his attitude in the press conference has been mirrored at the training ground, is it any wonder he's been dropped?
Too many new summer signings have disrupted the Reds' title defence with a team of individuals struggling to get going. The actions of Salah suggest there were plenty who joined this summer.
His past exploits; even if they are out of this world, count for nothing now. He hasn't earned game time because of what he's done previously or who he is.
Actions speak louder than words; sadly for Liverpool, their Egyptian King's been a lot quieter this term on the pitch than he has off it.
To go public and heap more scrutiny on Slot and the dressing room is selfish and destructive.
It not only makes Salah look egotistical, but he also appears childish and has blown up some of his legacy.
Every relationship has to come to an end at some point but the sensational forward has blown his to pieces by speaking out.
With the African Nations coming up, he could have kept his head down and disappeared for a while before his place in the team was debated again.
Instead, he's made it all about him, not for the first time in his Liverpool career either.
The explosive interview and fallout seem to have divided the club's fanbase but Salah isn't bigger than the team - after this outburst, he won't slot back into it too easily either.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for England, Brendan McCullum opened his mouth.
The architect of 'Bazball' - who has overseen two miserable Test defeats to Australia during this Ashes - came out and spoke to the press after the latest humbling, as he should by the way.
Yet his explanation that he felt the tourists had “over-prepared”, to be honest, was as embarrassing as their performances out in the middle.
It felt like he was trying to gaslight us all.
This touring side is in danger of producing one of the worst efforts Down Under and trying to find excuses won't wash given concerns about poor preparation.
At least Ben Stokes was more up front when he said his men lacked character.
Some would argue they lack a fair bit of in-game intelligence, to put a nicer spin on it, as they slashed their way to a couple of heavy losses against a fairly bang-average home outfit.
The modern nature of being unable to adapt is causing England huge problems as they attack their way to losses.
Even when they've shown a little bit of resilience, they've then crumbled under the first bit of pressure.
Fielding with imaginary soap in their hands hasn't helped either.
Of course, there are three Tests still to play but the stats are against Stokes' men.
Ten defeats in 14 away Tests and 17 in Australia without a win.
The Aussies only need a draw to retain the urn, something they've hardly had to earn by playing that well either.
He did it!
Britain’s Lando Norris kept his cool to clinch the Formula 1 drivers' championship by doing exactly what he needed in Abu Dhabi.
Max Verstappen did what he had to do by winning the race, but the McLaren man followed him across the line two cars later to secure his first title at the age of 26.
It's incredible to think that he's the 11th British world champion; can you name them all? Go on, no cheating!
For those of you who did want to test yourself, or just want the answer, they are as follows: Mike Hawthorn, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Norris.
Perhaps it's something in the water on these shores? Who knows. Either way, it's a record to be very proud of - something we should all feel about Norris.
"I've not cried in a while and I didn't think I would cry but I did," the new champion said after the race.
"I mean, it feels amazing. I now know what Max feels like.
“I want to congratulate both Max and Oscar, my two biggest competitors the whole season.
"It's been a pleasure to race against both of them and an honour, I've learned a lot from both of them as well.
"I've enjoyed it and it has been a long year but we did it and I'm so proud of everyone."
The pressure was on and perhaps the championship should have been wrapped up long before it was.
But that's all immaterial now that he's got his name on the list of the greats.
Now let's see if he can build on it.
