Season 23 Week 16 Processing...

Giuseppe Rossi is on the scoresheet after 29 minutes with a fine shot to put Charlton further into the lead here although it is still a very close game, but the score line is

Charlton 2 Chelsea 0

Twente 1 Feyenoord 0 as the dutch league leaders get off to a slow start it would seem.

Mansfield 1 Banstead 1 Heskey with a pen on the half hour mark.

Lyon 1 Monaco 1 Ibrahimovich of course on the scoresheet again for Ben's feeder club.

Etienne 2 Toulouse 0 Meghni with his second of the game.

and we have our first goal in another big Premiership game at the Emirates so lets cross over to Pat Murphy who is watching Arsenal Birmingham for us today, Pat...

well, Wayne Rooney is in red hot form currently having scored something like ten goals in his last six games, and he has grabbed the first one here today to make it

Arsenal 1 Birmingham 0

on 32 minutes

sounds like he is warming up nicely for Arsenal's clash later today with Schalke in the Champions Cup semi-final, what a game that should be.

the other Champions Cup semi-finalists of course are Fulham and they are still goalless in their game at Everton.

and i'm hearing we have a second goal in the game between Real Betis and Espanol and i'm hearing that the Spanish league leaders have gone further into the lead there, with Ganso grabbing a goal to make it 2-0 to Betis on 32 minutes.

sounds like another good day in Seville for Rich's Real Betis side.

so we have Barca and Betis both winning.

and Elton Welsby is screaming in my ear, so let's return to Maine Road for an update...

Edin Dzeko has fired home from the penalty spot to give him his fifth goal in the last six games and make the scoreline

Man City 1 Plymouth 1

after 33 minutes of this close and fascinating game.

so another exciting game at Maine Road with Dzeko starting to repay some of that huge transfer fee maybe.

a big shock in Enschede where Twente now lead Feyenoord 2-0 but I can't believe the league leaders will take that lying down as they have been quite prolific all season.

Boca 1 Argentinos 1 and maybe Boca players are taking it easier ahead of their Copa Libertadores semi-final game later on.

and we have to return to John Southall in the Championship for news of another goal at Leicester...

the home side are in good form today and Samir Nasri has fired home to make it

Leicester 2 Reading 0

on 35 minutes.

and i'm getting news that it is now Ancona 2 AC Milan 2 as the sleeping giants of italian football draw level in that game after being 2-0 down at one point, and we still only have 35 minutes on the clock.

Sittard 0 Ajax 1 as things just got worse for Feyenoord.

Dundee 0 Rangers 1

and Pat Murphy can bring us more news from the Emirates...

in the last few minutes Birmingham seem to have dropped off the pace slightly and that has allowed the Gunners to extend their lead with a fine shot from Fernando Torres on 36 minutes that has made it

Arsenal 2 Birmingham 0

thanks for that Pat, so Arsenal warming up nicely there.

Lille 3 Auxerre 0 Belhanda with their third goal on 37 minutes.
