The treble for Boca ... think it's their first. Very pleasing as that's what I set out to do at the start of the season and with the added competition from some good Brazilian teams particularly Santos. To maintain a level of success with what is basically a signing network for youth players and home for loanees is fantastic. Hopefully their schoolboy team will also gain promotion to the top division ... looking forward to them playing Inter.

A league win for Inter would meet all my goals at the start of the season ....... to be continued.

Congrats to all the other Cup winners.

Get in Cska, Bringing the Russian cup home in style

Just setting up the games now and getting in my beer and crisps

Something a bit stronger for me, if you're going to the bar!  Think I might need it over the next couple of hours!

Looking forward to this week despite having nothing to play for.

Gone big on a couple of open bids, couple of news, a final role of the dice for one particular player and one particular tactic and private deal of mega proportions .

Looking forward to being able to sit back with no pressure and watch this turn unfold.

Scratch that nothing to play for.

Forgot feyanoord have the chance to wrap up the Dutch title in ajax's own back garden.

A parting gift maybe from mr benteke? 

Can't wait, go on lads

I dont really count the Championship title as something to play for... it's a virtually done deal. Just looking to keep the momentum going in both countries and hoping the odd deal comes off...

and we're off ...

there was a slight holdup pre kickoff as referees across the world went on a sit down strike for 5 minutes in protest to the state of their dressing rooms at most grounds ...

*taps headphones to get rid of annoying buzz* and we can bring you news of the first goal of the day at Newcastle where Elton Welsby is the goto guy, so lets waste no time in crossing to Elton...

welcome to a beautiful day here at St James's Park where the score after just 2 minutes is

Newcastle 0 Plymouth 1

following a fine freekick goal from the bang on form Jack Wilshere.

so Plymouth draw first blood in what has become a very exciting three horse race for the Premiership title this season.

Hamburg 1 Cologne 0

UCD 1 Cherry 0
Bohemians 1 Dundalk 0
