Season 23 Week 3 processing...

Spartak 2 CSKA 2 as the goals continue to fly in at this game.

Norwich 2 Sheff Utd 2 on 84 minutes

I just said to Will, it would be really disappointing to concede now, then that happens....

and Oscar Cardozo has struck again for Ancona to give them a 2-1 lead at Cagliari on 84 minutes.

Sao Paulo 1 Fluminense 1 after 85 minutes

and we have had a late goal at Fulham, which way has it gone...

Fulham didnt learn from the first goal and they have paid a similar price as Ramires grabs his second of the game on 85 minutes to make it

Fulham 1 Chelsea 2

and Fulham's poor start to the season seems to be set to continue, the fans here certainly arent happy.

the wheels have come off at the cottage...

Inverness 4 Hibs 0

and Barcelona now lead 5-0 at home to Atletico as David Villa scores again on 85 minutes.

Norwich 2 Sheff Utd 3

Luton 0 Southampton 3

and Grant Holt has made it Banstead 2 Brentford 1 on 87 minutes.

only a few minutes left now...

and Roberto Soldado has put Flamengo back into the lead at a crucial stage of that game in Brazil and its now 2-1 there to Flamengo.

Berlin 4 Cologne 1 as we enter the dying seconds...

and that's it, it's all over now...

I'll take that. Solid and dull bore-draw at Anfield.

100% record for Betis maintained, even if it looks like we made hard work of it.

well, an exciting day for sure, feel free to leave your comments and vent your frustrations while I go and run the transfers & financials...

Anything Torres can do David Villa can do without the help of the ref!!

And Soldado has finally put on his boots!!

Perfect week for myself

A solid win over Mark, even Aguero on the score sheet. surprise to have had Essien score, especially playing in a different position this week.

Also happy to get a huge win over Lyon, huge 3 points in France, Junior is on fire. The Junior/Alberto combo had been so influential for me at lille

Cant wait to get turn and digest

I need a couple of decent Championship level centre backs to help shore up my defence at Banstead but they must be willing to play for peanuts, cant stand all this will I wont I let in a goal business, no wonder Roberto Mancini always looks like he's a t death's door these days unless City are winning 3-0.

Was the venting of frustration aimed at me lol.

Well the bad start to the season continues, can't get baines and walker in and settled quick enough.

Looks like my inspirational decision to bring Milner on again to freshen things up back fired again spectacurely. - again replacing a tiring DY/BW in theory makes sense to me but looks like the complete opposite

Did think I'd make a slow start this year with a few changes and a few still to come in and settle properly but getting the most out of the likes of Robben and Valencia continues to be a problem

Hopefully the friendlies in ISF will give me some much needed optimism otherwise ill have to join the masses

A very satisfying week starting at Flamengo, a great result to beat the World Club champions 2-1. Had fiddled with some player commands this turn so will be interesting to see if this had anything to do with it.

5-0 for Barcelona. Goal difference could be crucial so it's good to keep up with Real. Top 3 all have 100% records and still a while to we match up against each other.

Thanks for all the effort again Paul!

Got to keep telling the boys and the fans to keep a sense of reality on these early results.
Not that long ago we were playing in League 2.

Just a mark of how far we've come that a draw away to an established Premier League side turns out to be a disappointing result.

Small matter of Fulham next week too, who are due to kickstart their season soon....

the big deal this week sees Oscar joining Chelsea's already star studded team in a £40millions deal and that should certainly improve their end of season position with the braziliant youngster keen to get on the pitch as soon as he can for his new club and show everybody what he can do.

He certainly received rave reviews whilst on loan at Banstead.
