Season 23 Week 5 processing...

it was all over here and it certainly is now as Tim Cahill has made it

Blackpool 0 Leicester 3

into injury time and you could tell he enjoyed scoring against his old team.

and the highly rated Radamel Falcao has made it Lille 3 Cannes 0 with a fine header on 91 minutes.

San Jose 1 Cosmos 3

and thats it its all over for another week.

Wow. Big week. Interesting results. Huge scores. Records broken.

So Arsenal doing very well this week as they begin to open out a slight lead at the top of the Premiership.

Arsenal 13

Birmingham 10

Chelsea 8

Newcastle 8

as Charlton slip into the bottom three with just 4 points.

its very close in Brazil

Sao Paulo 13

Santos 13

Flamengo 13

Vasco 7

Get in!. A super couple of results. Nasri finally does something useful, still one goal conceeded all season by Leicester, delighted with another clean sheet, especially as Azpilicueta made his debut on less than perfect TU, happy with that one.

A super week for Betis, and absolutely delighted to see the goals coming from all over the team for a change. A couple for Busquets as we keep pace with the top two. Have noticed that goal difference was starting to fall behind the big two, so am happy to pick up a couple of goals extra.

Chuffed. What a nice way to lead into the Xmas break...

so, Ben... have the wheels come off at Holme Park?

In the Championship we have Leicester beginning to improve in fifth...

Spurs 12

Leeds 10

Westham 10

Reading 10

Leicester 9

in France its very close still

Lille 11

Nantes 11

Lyon 10

Etienne 8

Paris 8

Bayern 15

Schalke 13

Berlin 12

Rumours coming from The Valley that the Charlton board are considering Hurst's position as manager of the club. Apparently they feel the manager is not tactically strong enough to keep the club in the Premier League. Recent results certainly suggest that to be the case.

Hurst himself is curently considering his future in the game, and will take the xmas break to decide if he feels he has taken the club as far as he can. Maybe it might be time to pass on the reins to Alan Curbishley.

Ajax 15

Feyenoord 15

Sittard 13

I knew sundays result would bite me in the arse!

Napoli continue to lead in Italy

Napoli 12

Inter 11

Juventus 11

Milan 10

Ancona 10

but it is very close here as well after just 5 games.

I was in a similar position last season after a poor start but managed to build some momentum in the mid-later stages of the season.

Patience is going to be the key here with a huge amount of time left to get back into the title race.

I will take the blame here, trying to shift the tactics to counter Fulham which obviously didn't work. The club is in a transitional period with some new players still to gel and with so much quality in the Premiership its always going to be tough early doors - don't write us off just yet...

Congrats to Will though - 1 point last season in the two games against Fulham - they are quickly becoming my bogey team!

Barcelona 15 +15

Real Madrid 15 +11

Real Betis 15 +9
