Oh FFS

and the final whistle blows as the games end for another week...round up to follow after a short break...

2 pts dropped in the league but a tricky cup game negotiated. Settle for that...

Argentina

Boca 44 +28 reality managed
Argentinos 36 +23
River Plate 35 +18 reality managed

Les doing well to get up amongst the "big two" in Argentina after what was a disappointing first season in charge last year.

Brazil

Flamengo 47 +69
Santos 44 +57
Sao Paulo 33 +7

Fluminense go two points clear of the drop in a very competitive mid table scramble for points.

Eire

Cherry 44 +41
UCD 34 +16 unmanaged
Bohemians 28 +11
Shamrock 28 +2
Shelbourne 27 +5
Waterford 27 +0

another very competitive league with Geoff's team of youngsters now coming of age and beginning to dominate the other more volatile sides.

Premiership

Charlton 37 +18
Fulham 35 +21
Man City 33 +18
Arsenal 31 +18
Plymouth 30 +13
Watford 30 +9

Man United grabbed all three points to record only their second win of the season but ninth placed Chelsea need just one win from the remaining five games to be safe and Charlton maintain their slight advantage over Fulham at the top of the table with a fine win against a very strong Plymouth side.

Championship

Liverpool 39 +23
Villa 37 +26
Blackburn 36 +19
Everton 33 +21 reality managed
Wolves 33 +12
Westham 23 -4 reality managed
Forest 21 -4 unmanaged

All the talk in the Championship surrounds the future of Forest's Danny Drinkwater this week, with no less then nine bids from differing clubs, the vastly improved midfielder has a good choice of clubs and contracts, with destinations that could include both Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Villa and Chelsea, to name but a few. We'll find out later where he decides to go if anywhere.

League One

Soton 35 +19
Oldham 32 +13

I think this probably ends any chance of Plymouth challenging for the title (well done on the win Tom) - although I think I have played all of the teams above now both home and away so a strong finish and some dropped points might see me in the mix. If you have offered me this (along with the CL final) after the first few games would have bitten your hand off so not too disappointed

Wycombe 37 +24

Yeah Champions League Final is a BIG achievement in game one this season with so many great teams and great managers around.

Truro 27 +3 unmanaged

France

Paris 47 +38
Nantes 42 +25
Etienne 38 +29
Monaco 37 +19

Paris just about sneaked in with the three points this week, much to the annoyance of onlooking Nantes fans as the current Champions continue to chop and change things searching for that mythical "magic" combination of players that will lead them to another title. Rock steady Paris just keep going but the last five games is when the pressure really tells, can they cope ? We shall see.

Greece

Olympiakos 38 +25
Athens 38 +16 reality managed
Ethnikos 36 +17 unmanaged
