Great work!! 

Wishing the time away already, need my fix! Feels like years since last game.

VERY important CL cup game for me - I daren't look!

Champions Cup Results - Match Day Five

Group One - Man City and Liverpool go through.
Man City 2 Juventus 2
Bayern 1 Liverpool 2

Group Two - Watford go through as winners of the group.
Watford 2 Ajax 0
Valencia 2 Man United 2

Group Three - Charlton go through also as winners of the group.
Charlton 2 Benfica 1
Inter 4 Gladbach 2

Group Four - Plymouth go through as winners as well.
Plymouth 2 Paris 1
Schalke 2 AC Milan 1

So the big four clubs from the English league will avoid each other if Man City can finish above Liverpool but literally any of the other sides including holders Schalke could join them with three points in the last group match on week 12.

Birmingham 1 Lisbon 1
Liege 1 West Brom 2

Napoli win group three but everything else is still up for grabs.

There are some huge games in the league this week to look forward to including Plymouth's trip to Maine Road and Watfords game at Newcastle but game of the week has to be Real Madrid's visit to Barcelona as this is a real six pointer between the top two spanish sides who are currently separated in the table by just three points. Both have chosen settled sides for this game although Real will be without Lionel Messi who suffered an injury last week so Luka Modric takes over from Messi for this game. Should be a corker.

In the Championship we have the top two clashing at White Hart Lane with Chelsea hoping to spring a surprise in "a game we cant afford to lose", but Tottenham are determine to leapfrog their rivals into topspot, so it should be exciting.

And a chance for Nantes to end the title hopes of Paris in only the tenth week of the season when they visit the Parc des Princes to take on the second placed team.

Three great results for my teams, hopefully they haven’t taken too much out the teams for the league games!!

Good luck to everybody this week...
