Wow , we needed a win and did it in style , a slight tactical tweak and a bit of inspiration seems to have done the trick after 3 defeats on the spin.....i defintely have not just walked round my living room singing Chelsea songs  .....its only a game , so they say

Well played Gaz, didn't see a thumping coming but fair play.  Charlton a shadow of themselves despite zero changes.  Nantes losing at home and Wolfsburg continue to fight against relegation with a disappointing draw.  

Answers on a postcard please....

Yeah, it must be something I am doing wrong, checked bonuses etc 

It can't be just FRE has become useless at the end of the season as Andy is doing very well with it.  

Honestly at a loss!  Not just Charlton but all three champions from last season!

Anyway excuse my frustrations, well done to all the winners this week!

One of those CF weeks in England and Spain.

Both tough away games for the sides so not a time to panic at all - though do wonder whether a slightly more combative DY for away games in FLY might help stability.

Anyway, great that CF is back after the break and we move onto next week!

Stop tempting me - from where Plymouth were at the end of last season, have come on leaps and bounds - no changes for next week, unless enforced I suspect!

With a precise strike, he sent the ball soaring into the back of the net, igniting an explosion of joy among their supporters. The scoreboard lit up, and the crowd erupted in celebration, waving flags and chanting their team’s name.
With the clock winding down, the team maintained their composure. Their goalkeeper made a series of breathtaking saves, ensuring that the lead held firm. As the final whistle blew, the winning players embraced in exhilaration, a mix of relief and joy washing over them. They had not only claimed victory but had done so as a cohesive unit, each player contributing to the triumph.
As they celebrated on the field, fans flooded the stands, singing and dancing in celebration of the hard-fought win. The team raised their arms in triumph, acknowledging their loyal supporters. This victory would be remembered not just for the score, but for the unbreakable spirit and unity they showcased throughout the match.

Where does time go ...

Premiership

ManCity 18 +12
Plymouth 15 +9
Spurs 12 +6
ManUnited 12 +4
Watford 9 -3

City fans enjoyed the performance this week of Julian Alvarez against his old club and he certainly was the star of the show as he netted two goals to leapfrog City over the Pilgrims into top spot. Early doors yet though...

France

Rennais 13 +10
Nantes 13 +9 Champions
Paris 12 +11
Lille 12 +4
Monaco 11 +4
Bordeaux 10 +4

A rare home defeat for perennial Champions Nantes allowed Rennais to go top but can they stay there...

Bundesliga

Schalke 18 +21
Leverkusen 15 +13
Karlsruhe 12 +2
Gladbach 8 -1
Hannover 8 -3

Havertz strikes to get Schalke's winning run going as they sail free at the top of the table but Leverkusen are in close pursuit and it could be a very interesting season...

Serie A

InterMilan 14 +11 Champions
Juventus 14 +5
Lazio 13 +9
ACMilan 13 +6
Cagliari 11 +2

Close as ever in Italy after Inter dropped two points at home to feisty Cagliari which allowed the chasing pack to close in on them slightly, gonna be another close race for sure...

Brazileiro

Botafogo 18 +9 Champions
Vasco 13 +8
Fluminense 13 +5
Sao Paulo 10 +1

There's little sight of anybody coming close to stopping the Champions again this season and the chasers need to up their game else it will become a procession...

Argentina

Independente 16 +7 Champions
Argentinos 13 +10
Estudiantes 12 +13
Boca 12 +9
Velez 11 +4

The red shirts are coming, again...

Spain

Atletico 15 +12
RealMadrid 14 +9
RealBetis 13 +9
Valencia 13 +6
Barcelona 10 +7 Champions
Sevilla 10 +1

Real win the Madrid derby to move closer to their arch rivals at the top of the table and the Champions switch to flying wingers seems to have taken poor Bilbao completely by surprise with a seven goal thrashing, happy days for the Barca fans this week...

Transfers now...
