Season 26 Week 2 processing...

Welcome to week 2 of the season, it was a pretty good start for some of you, can you keep the momentum going and build up early form ? we shall see.

Resetting and opening envelopes now...

Entering the orders now...

edit: quite a lot to do this week so the league game kickoff may be late.

edit: taking a very long time, games will defo be delayed, in retrospect I probably should have limited people to just one free international side

still got lots of data entry to do so I will leave that until the morning

Hopefully after a couple of International weeks, many teams will be setup and there will be minimal changes?

The other thing could be to limit the weeks people can make changes to their squads - like IRL this might be the week before the International matches so you have 1 friendly to test your team before the full game...

We can't expect Paul to enter 40 International Team's changes every week on top of all other changes...

Just a thought.

okay data entry all done, running the reserve, youth and schoolboy games now...

I don't mind doing the data entry just takes a while sometimes.

running the first week of the european / south american midweek games...

okay the league games will kickoff tomorrow ( thursday ) at 1000 hours...

Just had Arsene on the phone running me through a list of excuses he's been using for Arsenal's European form ........ really hope I don't need them because they're not great.

"Olivier had a hair appointment which he missed and it totally ruined his preparation."

"Theo was hanging with Lewis Hamilton and they got mixed up so I ended up playing Lewis and well ...."

That's not going to work for Chiellini, De Rossi and Vidal.

Less than an hour to kickoff now as anticipation levels go up...

Tough game this week at Newcastle for City esp without Gerrard and Milner. Will be happy with a point at the end of the day.

And an even more weakened team against Napoli in the champions cup, fingers crossed this week.

the whistle blows and the games kickoff...good luck to everybody...

Arsenal 1 Watford 0 Giroud header on 3 minutes.

Bayern 1 Berlin 0 Rode freekick on 6 minutes.

Ancona 1 Lazio 0 Totti freekick on 9 minutes.
Hearts 1 St Mirren 0 Berardi freekick.

Fulham 0 Leicester 1 Adebayor header on 11 minutes.
Preston 1 Orient 0 Ings header.

Bayern 1 Berlin 1 Tardelli freekick on 18 minutes.

So we have Arsenal v Watford in Europe and in the League on the same week. Brilliant. But maybe not for them.

Coritiba 1 Gremio 0 Fano header on 20 minutes.

Ancona 2 Lazio 0 Marchisio on 23 minutes.

Plymouth 1 Chelsea 0 Aguero on 24 minutes.

Schalke 0 Cologne 1 Balitsch on 25 minutes.
Cagliari 1 Milan 0 Nocerino.

Nantes 1 Nice 0 Muntari on 26 minutes.

Ancona 3 Lazio 0 Coentrao on 27 minutes.

Fulham 1 Leicester 1 Schweinsteiger on 29 minutes.
