Premiership

Birmingham 0 Plymouth 2
Leicester 1 Chelsea 0
Fulham 0 Newcastle 1
Watford 1 Charlton 1
Spurs 1 Man City 1
Arsenal 1 Liverpool 3

Plymouth 41 +18
Charlton 39 +20
Watford 35 +12
Man City 29 +10
Birmingham 28 +7
Fulham 27 +7
Liverpool 25 -1
Spurs 21 -5
Chelsea 20 -10
----------
Arsenal 16 -11 max 28 points
Leicester 13 -21 max 25 points
Newcastle 11 -26 max 23 points

so an excellent week for new leaders Plymouth as they leap frog over Charlton to regain top spot, and maybe a missed chance by City to cement fourth place.

Argentina

Boca 48 +57
River Plate 36 +14
Gimnasia 36 +6
Argentinos 35 +14

one more point and Boca will be crowned Champions again.

Brazileiro

Santos 43 +42
Flamengo 42 +50
Sao Paulo 37 +19
Vasco 36 +11

and Gremio give themselves hope and are now just 3 points from safety.

Eire

Bohemians 34 +16
Shamrock 31 +6
UCD 27 +4

with Cherry just 5 points above the drop zone, having won only 5 games all season.
