Big goal

You owe me now Geoff.....

Promise to go easy on me on the last day at your place, don't wanna do a Liverpool and have to think about a heavy defeat all summer....

Should be a good game looking forward to it

Always a good feeling to win and even better to get a few goals none for Dzeko though is not good but he can't score every week. How am I going to get revenge against Barcelona. That's the big game for me n week, the reserve midfielders will play at Blackburn for sure .

Geoff, congratulations on the title, I don't think we can catch up following this result - time to plan for next season...

Le Championnat

Nantes 47 +32
Monaco 43 +22
Lyon 41 +26
Paris 41 +9
Etienne 37 +15

Nantes open up a four point gap with Monaco at home to come in week 21.

Bundesliga

Schalke 53
Berlin 43
Bayern 39
Gladbach 30

Jamie Gardner's old side crowned Champions in his last season in charge, he was a great guy, the Bundesliga is missing him already, but his team march on, or what's left of it, a lasting testament to a great manager.

Eredivisie

Ajax 47
Feyenoord 39
PSV 38
Heerenveen 34

The annual winners in Holland just a point away from yet another title win.

Serie A

Inter 53
Milan 41
Ancona 40
Napoli 36

Rob's Champions Inter Milan have conceded only five league goals all season, quite incredible when you consider the quality of the opposing forwards in this league.

Tippeligaen

Viking 51
Rosenborg 48
Valerenga 36

Some changes ahead for next season at the back. Alaba and Danilo will be the full backs and I'm hopeful of an AM upgrade soon too.

Scottish Premier

Celtic 38
St Johnstone 37
Rangers 32
Inverness 27

3 easyish games for the top two over the next few weeks in the run up to the title, no big games, just nerves of steel required to get the job done, so Celtic should be able to squeeze home here, but you never can tell.

La Liga

Barcelona 50 +49
Real 49 +33
Valencia 41 +20
Atletico 37 +13

Barcelona visit Madrid in week 21 in what is a huge title deciding game and the week of the cup final as well for Barcelona, who of course play the Champions Cup final the week prior, so it's a great time for Matt's side, fans will be hoping he gets all his decisions right.

Sounds like mind games to me   but no chickens will be counted yet got a big game between now and the end of the season but good luck to everyone.

Well that's the roundup done, so onto the transfers now...

Are Nantes preparing for a tilt at the Champions Cup next season ? as they continue to attract the games star players with the acquisition of Sulley Muntari from Newcastle for £12millions. 

Also added to the squad is Antoine Griezmann who comes in on loan from Inter Milan having been previously on loan at Hearts.

There is still no ratified deal between Man City and Arsenal for Aaron Ramsey, it did look as though City's two Brazilian midfielders, Paulinho and Fernando Reges would be joining the Gunners this week, but it seems that the Arsenal boss may have changed his mind ahead of the Cup Final showdown.

Liverpool were also expected to sign Man City's Rickie Lambert this week but that deal did not go through because of a discrepancy in the agreed price.

Kondogbia has also joined Nantes in exchange for Gonalons and £12millions from Monaco.

All about Nantes!!!
