booooooom, , Lo Celso you beautiful bastard!!!!

Much needed win for Chelsea.

Well what a week - Independiente the only blip - losing their first game for 35 games against close rivals Boca.

Plymouth’s switch seems to have invigorated them - and with 2 new forward incoming in Julian Alvarez and Darwin Nunez, have some strength in depth.

Atletico bounce back which is good to see and Twente keep things moving forward showing the power of consistency in selection…

Argentina

Independente 12 +17 Champions
Boca 9 +4
Argentinos 9 +4
River Plate 9 +3

Good week for the Champions as their goal difference flares.

Looks like there are no easy games in germany anymore - tight!

Brazil

Santos 12 +13 Champions
Vasco 12 +8
Corinthians 9+6
Botafogo 9 +6
Flamengo 8 +6

Vasco's best start to a season in quite a few years bodes well for them...

Premiership

Plymouth 10 +5
Charlton 9+2
Banstead 8 +3
Man City 8 +3 Champions
Man United 8 +3

Once upon a time Plymouth at the top of the table was a regular sight so maybe things are looking up for them and they have yet to play Alvarez and Nunez...

Championship

Bristol City 9 +2
Leeds 8 +3
Spurs 8 +2
------
Wednesday 7 +3
Fulham 7 +2

"Fans shouldn't get carried away as we are still building the team, but its a great start" says Bob Corrigan the City manager...

France

Paris 12 +8
Etienne 12 +8
Monaco 10 +7
Nantes 9 +5 Champions

Some mixed results for the four new french managers at Lille, Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille and they have some improvements to make before they can live with the top four, but things are getting more competitive here in La France thats for sure...

Germany

Schalke 8 +3 Champions
Leverkusen 7 +4
Wolfsburg 7 +2
Stuttgart 7 +1

No Bayern in the top four, no Berlin and no Gladbach, things are changing in Da Bundesliga...

Italy

Juventus 12 +9
Inter 10 +6
Milan 9 +4 Champions
Parma 9 +2

As you were in Italy as the top three continue to dominate...

Scotland

Motherwell 10 +5
Inverness 9 +4
Dundee Utd 7 -1
Morton 6 +2
Rangers 6 +1
Celtic 6 +0
Hibs 6 -2

Aberdeen the Champions have made a shocking start to the new season with just four points and are already six points behind leaders Motherwell...

Spain

Barcelona 12 +13
Real 12 +12
Atletico 9 +7 Champions
Deportivo 9 +1

Barcelona on top and yet to concede a goal is a bit ominous for the rest although their boss does have a reputation for tinkering and maybe that will become crucial as the season unwinds, whilst Valencia and Betis both struggle Deportivo have taken the early advantage to grab fourth spot and maybe a return for them to the good times they once enjoyed so much of...

USA

Chicago 10 +6 Champions
Cosmos 8 +3
Kansas 7 +1
NewYork 6 +1

Tampa were once so full of promise but now languish at the foot of the table, how quickly things can change following one bad decision...

Goals seemed to have stopped going in at the wrong end for Sevilla, no losses in two games. Hopefully we can begin to scrape some wins, but I feel we might have a relegation battle on our hands!

I've seen how strong Barcelona are, very impressive.  Think Rich and Ben will have a real fight on their hands this season in La Liga.
