Week 12 processing

a last minute goal by Emerson Leal seems to have given Santos all three points at home to Cruzeiro in a thrilling game and its now

Santos 3 Cruzeiro 2 after 89 minutes

and the whistles have started to blow around the globe as matches come to an end...

injury time in the north east has seen Middsboro extend their lead over Oldham and its now 4-1 to Boro

Cherry Orchard have scored a late late winner away at UCD through the boot of the talented Vladimir Weiss, who is on loan from Manchester City and the score there is now 2-1 to Cherry.

and thats it its all over for another week...

Clean sheet's for both Brum and Gremio, unheard of!

Fantastic results for both Lyon and Plymouth. Plymouth now have 6 clean sheets in a row and finally looking like they can put some goals together - maybe Stephen Ireland has made all the difference!? Nice to see Owen Hargreaves can still do a job at AM as well deputising for Essien.

Solid from Lyon as well, nice away win from a team which is gradually growing. Now to see how I did in Europe with new tactics for both teams.

the results roundup starts in Argentina...

Rosario 2 Lorenzo 0

River Plate 4 Argentinos 0

Estudiantes 0 Boca 2

Racing 0 Velez 0

Independente 1 Sante Fe 0

its very tight at the top with

Gremio 3 Sao Joao 0

Sao Paulo 0 Botafogo 0

Santos 3 Cruzeiro 0

and the table looks like this...

Sao Paulo 28 +14

Cruzeiro 22 +13

Santos 22 +7

Corinthians 22 +2

Flamengo 18 +5

wins for both Barcelona and Flamengo, so all's well in the league.

Barca still 5 ahead of Real, tho Iain seems to be building up some decent momentum and El Classico is on its way in 2 or 3 turns. Need to avoid defeat at all costs, Yaya and Alonso need to control the midfield in the absence of Schweini, do them down the wings with plenty of crosses to Llorente for knock downs to Villa! Plan done.
