Paul, there is a small chance that my brain isn't quite as switched on as it used to be, I did indeed play Barca last week...clearly I've looked at last weeks next opponent sheet in a moment of blonde madness

pmsl

and there's been a third goal in the game between Union and Boca and Martin Cardeti has pulled one back for Union after 21 minutes its now 2-1 to Boca

and another important game is being played at Werder Bremen where title holders Schalke are the visitors so lets cross to Steve May for the full story...

second placed Schalke have taken the lead here through a Cristiano Ronaldo goal and it had been coming and there may yet be lots more cos the flying winger looks to be on song again today despite the rain here today, so after 21 minutes its now

Bremen 0 Schalke 1

Boom

and im hearing of a goal at Birmingham so lets cross to get the story...

Westham are the visitors today and at this rate they'll wish they has stayed at home cos Birmingham are cutting them to shreds and on 22 minutes they got their just desserts when nani fired home the opening goal and its now

Birmingham 1 Westham 0

that man Fernando Llorente has put Barcelona further ahead and after 22 minutes its now

Espanol 0 Barcelona 2

and Mauro Zarate has restored Boca's 2 goal lead at Union where they now lead 3-1

Rangers run of bad form continues as they fall behind at Raith

some signings are just inspired because Samaras has scored again for the third game in succession to give Manchester City the lead in their game at Everton and has now grabbed 9 goals since his return from Fulham for £5millions earlier in the season.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern have grabbed the lead away at Stuttgart in another vital game

there's a big game taking place at Watford today, which could the forerunner of the Championship playoff final later in the season, where foruth placed Watford are playing host to third placed Tottenham, so lets get the early news from that game...

Jermaine Defoe has found some form as well lately with his second goal in three games to give Spurs the lead at Watford and after 25 minutes its now

Watford 0 Spurs 1

Marlon Harewood has put Banstead 2-0 up at home to Wycombe

and we have a goal at Stamford Bridge on the stroke of 27 minutes so lets catch up with the news from there...

We have had a goal here thanks to fine finishing from Hatem Ben Arfa who has put Chelsea into the lead after 27 minutes and its now

Chelsea 1 Boro 0

Westham have fallen further behind at Birmingham where Ashley Young has grabbed Brum's second goal and their wingers seem to be playing very well today and after 29 minutes its now

Birmingham 2 Westham 0

and Chelsea have grabbed another on the half hour mark and its now

Chelsea 2 Boro 0

this time the goal came from the boot of Luis Suarez

we sent Stuart Hall to watch the game at Arsenal today and I hear that he has seena goal, over to you Stuart...

Manchester United came here with a fine record against the top sides in the league but the Arsenal forwards have cut through them today like a hot knife through butter and im very surprised their defence has withstood the onslaught for so long and its now no surprise that after 31 minutes its

Arsenal 1 Man United 0

and it was Rafael Vander Vaart who scored the goal, but having said all that its United who look the bigger danger on the break and they could have easily taken the lead earlier in the game, so me thinks we're in for a scorcher of a game today, dont go far.

Paul .... anything else from Inter? Am I getting back into the game at all?

thanks for that Stuart, sounds like another exciting game involving Arsenal, who's last five games have led to no less than 27 goals in all, with the Gunners having only won two of those games.

Come on Chelsea keep it going

I'm getting reports of worried Inter fans demanding action from their boss but that game has a long way to go yet and with Inter's last 2 home games having netted them 8 goals i dont think they should worry too much just yet...but you never know as Napoli are no pushovers themselves havings cored 8 goals in their last 3 games...but we shall see
