the ref checks his watch and blows for full time. What an exciting week. Roundup to follow shortly...

A win for Chelsea at last after 3 defeats , although it is not one to shout from the roof tops about.

I think ..... if my maths are correct Rennes have won their League. And sold wins for Hannover, Nacional and Barca.

After a dreadful start to the week, I couldn't have asked much more in the league results.

Keen to see any transfer news this week.....

Congrats Rob, first Champions of the season?

Well.

Plymouth a basket case this week - just need to find the right system.
Twente - massive win in the league and waiting to see on Europe
Atletico - Disappointing loss in Europe but a great result against Real - means there is still 1 point in it with lots to play. Real have to play Valencia twice and Barca so all to play for.
Independentie I think make up 3 points on Boca with all to play for...

Argentina

Boca 43 +43
Independente 40 +53
Estudiantes 38 +24
River Plate 37 +32
Argentinos 37 +31 Champions

Boca had the edge at Estudiantes but the home side still emerged triumphant on the back of a brilliant performance by Chile's Jeisson, who scored both goals in a narrow win. Still plenty of twists and turns to come it seems as the top five continue to play each other right up til the last day of the season...

Brazil

Santos 41 +32 Champions
Botafogo 36 +36
Flamengo 35 +24
Fluminense 32 +21

Two points dropped by the two leading sides makes the Brazileiro much closer this week. The next two games for Santos will be crucial away at Flamengo and away at Sao Paulo, starting to look very interesting in Brazil...

Premiership

Watford 35 +25 Champions
Charlton 35 +19
Man City 35 +13
Chelsea 31 +14

Top four all win with the Champions looking very impressive and who scored Charlton's winners, Kane and Salah of course, seems their partnership is on the up...

Championship

Banstead 42 +22
Palace 36 +18
Soton 30 +10
------
Burnley 28 +9
Norwich 28 +7

Only six games left and the top two seem to be already promoted but third place seems to be up for grabs still...

I think mathematically someone could win a league in week 14 or 15 ..... maths not quite good enough. But it would require freakish sets of results.

I would caveat the win with the fact it's the French 3rd division and some of these teams are pub sides.

France

Nantes 42 +43 Champions
Etienne 40 +36
Paris 37 +27
Monaco 29 +8

Paris fall behind after their draw with Monaco which leaves Etienne alone to chase perennial top club Nantes...

Germany

Schalke 42 +37 Champions
Berlin 36 +25
Leverkusen 34 +26
Gladbach 29 +2

Gladbach's slim title hopes were extinguished as Schalke crushed them at home with four unanswered goals to maintain their gap at the top over impressive Berlin. Leverkusen are a rising force since their promotion and have done a fine job to get into third place behind the top two...

excellect wins this week. chuffed...

Italy

AC Milan 45 +33
Inter Milan 43 +34 Champions
Fiorentina 31 +19
Juventus 31 +14

Defeat for Juve at Inter probably ends their title hopes as they dropped to fourth overtaken by surprise side Fiorentina as the Viola continue to improve. Hard fought narrow wins for bith Milan sides maintains their fierce rivalry...

Champions Cup - Semi-Final results

Real Madrid 6 Plymouth 0
Man City 0 Schalke 1

Well done Rich and Andy. Best teams in the game this season so far by a distance.

Spain

Real Madrid 44 +67
Atletico 43 +54
Valencia 40 +26
Barcelona 37 +34 Champions

Top two draw which lets Valencia a step closer and now its exciting with the title in their grasp almost, the fans can taste it, all they have to do is win their remaining six games and hope Atletico drop a point somewhere. The only fly in the ointment is the same goes for Real and Atletico, good luck guys...
