Season 26 week 11 processing...

Flamengo 5 Corinthains 0 Anderson Talsica on 80 minutes.
Preston 1 Luton 1 Nouha Dicko header.

our first sending off of the day, but of little consequence.

Wycombe 1 Orient 1 Salifou on 82 minutes.

and we have a fifth goal at Charlton, so over to you Clare...

Oh god.....

yes, it has been coming ever since the introduction of Theo Walcott, the little man is proving inspirational and has just put the home side ahead from the penalty spot, and with just seven minutes left it is now

Charlton 3 Man City 2

 

Schalke 7 ( seven ) Uerdingen 0 Anderson Luis header on 83 minutes.

into the last 5 minutes now...

Bilbao 1 Real 7 ( seven ) Messi on 85 minutes.

Dortmund 2 Gladbach 2 Faris Haroun header on 86 minutes.

I can hear Charlton fans shouting "blow the f...ing whistle" from here

Plymouth 1 Birmingham 1 Van Persie penalty on 87 minutes.

another big goal from a big player in Robin Van Persie.

You ain't kidding!!!

Flamengo 6 ( six ) Corinthians 0 Lewandowski on 89 minutes.
Scunthorpe 1 Brighton 3 Crouch.

Bilbao 1 Real 8 ( eight ) Lucas Moura on 90 minutes.

Vasco 3 Fluminense 0 Celsinho freekick on 91 minutes.

and the final whistle blows...round up to follow and I think Charlton may be top ?

Highly disappointing to concede at the end but we remain tough to beat. I think the league is now out of Plymouth's reach but still in the C.League so that must be the priority now, as well as building for next season...

Brazileiro Campeonato

Flamengo 31 +50 already scored 52 goals this season and only half way now.
Santos 28 +42
Gremio 21 +7

The Napoli manager has agreed to have a go at managing Sao Paulo and Tom Hurst has taken over at Fluminense, both are feeder clubs and will greatly increase the competition in Brazil.

Eircom

Cherry 31 +24 Man City's feeder club
Cork City 22 +4 Wycombe's feeder club
Shelbourne 19 +5 Blackburn's feeder club
Bohemians 17 +2
UCD 17 +1
Dundalk 14 +1
Shamrock 14 +0 Arsenal's feeder club

Unbelievable, not sure I can say the tactics were a success until the match report comes in but it sounds llike the substitution certainly did.  By my reckoning it is Charltns first win against City.  Always a tough tough fixture.

Not sure whats happening in France, will have to look at the forward line next and try and make some improvements.....

That was tense and hopefully we didn't miss anything. Being 'gentlemen of leisure' is distracting Ollie and me.

Inter I think hung on for a 1-0 at Roma in what was our 7th away game (easier run in hopefully). And if Villa beat Liverpool that would cap a huge turnaround.

Ollie threatening to use language he isn't allowed to after the late goals he let in at Preston and Feyenoord to only get draws. 

And here's lunch .....

Premiership

Charlton 25 +12
Man City 23 +18
Watford 23 +12

still incredibly close at the top whilst just below the top three are four clubs all on 19 points, Plymouth, Arsenal, Fulham and Leicester. Mr Spurr has taken over at Chelsea for a few weeks, he wants to have a look at us and see if he likes the game.

Maybe not all out of it if the gap is only 6 points... A good run from here and others dropping points might mean am back in it. Need to pick up some more wins though - 2 draws in the last 3 games is not great...
