Goals flying in as we approach halftime...

Quality showing for Tom. Need to make some decisions on how Villa play going forward.

Birmingham 3 Westham 0 Payet penalty on 43 minutes.

Man City 2 Liverpool 0 Smalling header on 44 minutes.
Coventry 0 Wimbledon 2 Elliott.
Rangers 0 Celtic 1 Maxi Morales.

and the whistle goes for half time, and with that we'll be back after this short break...

Things going as expected so far.

Inter are continuing to play well and with Juve having an easier game this week it is important to keep going.

The quality of the Charlton squad is showing through as well against a Villa side where I really need to find an identity before next season.

Dresden's squad of kids continue to do the job.

and the second half is underway...

Sao Paulo 1 Coritiba 1 Pedro Ken on 48 minutes.
Plymouth 2 Chelsea 0 Welbeck.
Villa 0 Charlton 2 Firmino.
Reading 0 Wednesday 1 Downing.
Parma 1 Juventus 1 Marchisio.
Inverness 2 Aberdeen 0 Tachtsidis.
Hamilton 0 Raith 1 Pritchard.
Tampa Bay 0 Chicago 1 Demarcus Beasley.

Preston 2 Middsboro 0 Janssen on 49 minutes.
Setubal 1 Benfica 2 Fernandes.

Delighted so far, especially with the second Fluminense goal just before the break.

Charlton just got their noses in front, in what I expect to be a very close game.

Nantes good form continues and it seems Ganso has got wind of some competition arriving very soon...

Can we just blow the final whistle now?

Pulisic is a goal scoring machine.  Top talent.  I'm gonna wear the Cosmos manager down one day.....

Well played tom, Too much quality in your feeder fluminense for flamengo, might've been interesting if lewandowski and muller were still there but then Barca wouldn't have beaten Madrid 2 weeks running!

Reading 0 Wednesday 2 Carrick on 55 minutes.
Uerdingen 0 Hamburg 1 Rodrigo Tiui.
Parma 2 Juventus 2 Bianchi.
Barcelona 2 Real Betis 0 Muller.

Parma doing their best to help Inter out this week.

Not sure I would have called it interesting, I wouldn't have stood a chance!  Caught you at a good time, transitional period I think they call it?


Every cloud and all that, not sure Iain is enjoying this season much...

Fulham 2 Arsenal 1 David Silva on 56 minutes.
Lyon 0 Monaco 2 Gignac.

Fulham coming from behind to lead.

Genk 2 Mechelen 0 Batshuayi on 57 minutes.
Soton 2 West Brom 0 Duricic.

Bohemians 2 Longford 0 Lokando freekick on 58 minutes.
Oldham 1 Leeds 0 David Nugent.
Paris 4 Cannes 0 Marco Miranda header.
Cologne 2 Schalke 0 Darija Srna.
Valencia 1 Real Madrid 0 Jonas penalty.

Important goals or what.

Could be a very long transitional period!! Not sure I've got anything amazing sitting in the academy!

It's all down to the beast Diego Godin, though Im tempted to ship him to Barcelona when a sort out happens...

Santos 1 Botafogo 0 Rodrigo Possebon on 59 minutes.
Newcastle 1 Wolves 0 Romelu Lukaku.

Something for the toon army to cheer especially against high flying Wolves.

I'm thinking, who did I play up front this week at Santos cos we havent scored yet, then I remembered, I don't manage them anymore.

Gladbach 3 Berlin 2 Jordan Ayew on 60 minutes.
Salernitana 0 Sampdoria 1 Rafael Sobis.

There have been some cracking games in the Bundesliga this season, and this week is no different.
