Season 23 Week 10 processing...

Interesting stuff

and just as that goal was going in we have another goal in Barcelona...

its seems all over here now as David Villa strikes again to make it

Barcelona 3 Deportivo 1

after 65 minutes.

Just 25 minutes left now...

Cherry 2 St Pats 0 Weiss on 66 minutes
Sampdoria 1 Cagliari 3
Rangers 1 Hibs 1

as the tempo increases in the tight games.

and news of two goals, another for Gaitan as Feyenoord go 4-1 into the lead against Rotterdam and another goal at Old Trafford...

what a shot from Dimitar Berbatov on 66 minutes which cancels out Arsenal's lead to make it

Man United 1 Arsenal 1

on 66 minutes and United are in full flow now.

in my mind, friendly results mean nothing.. anyone else place any value at all on the results in friendlies? I just use them to play people into form against weak sides and for my guys to pick up knowledge against the sides they'll be playing in the future. Obviously TU aswell etc

True but they should give an indication of some-sort of ability against how a team might play in different situations etc?

Sampdoria 1 Cagliari 4 as things continue to improve for the small club.

Westham 0 Leeds 1
Paris 2 Monaco 0
Heerenveen 2 Groningen 0

and a fifth goal for Feyenoord as Gaitan strikes again on 68 minutes.

True, but how much value do you place on real-life friendlies?. About as much as Sven..

Feyenoord are certainly doing extremely well atm and scoring a bag full of goals in some of their games.

Sheff Weds 1 Oldham 0
Norwich 0 Portsmouth 1

and

Lens 1 Lyon 2 after a strike from Nicolas Lodeiro on 69 minutes.

Granted... Although if you can't use them to test out new ideas and tactics (and get reasonable feedback on how this might work in real life) then its a shame!

Rangers 2 Hibs 1 as normal service is resumed in Glasgow.

Westham 1 Leeds 1

and another goal in Milan...

Ancona are making a real fight of this game despite the scoreline and Francesco Totti has given them some slight hope on 71 minutes by firing home a low shot to make it

Inter 3 Ancona 1

and a good day for the Cosmos who now lead Washington 4-1.

and goal in the game at Blackburn, so lets go there to see what has happened...

big moment in Plymouth's season...

Massive!

at last Plymouth have smashed through Blackburn's defensive wall with a superb strike from young Jack Wilshere on 72 minutes that makes the score

Blackburn 0 Plymouth 1

we will ask fans later if they think Ben is doing a good job with their side now that Wayne Rooney has left.

happy now Mr Ranieri?

yes super five for my Banstead side with Heskey on the scoresheet again.
