Season 23 week 12 processing...

and another fightback may be underway as it is now

Sampdoria 1 Inter Milan 2

in a bit of a shocker on 44 minutes.

and the first half has drawn to a close here, more to follow after the break and these few words from your sponsors...

I just realised why Ian St John is being sent to comment on all these games. There are about 30 english commentators on the database and the system is using those englishmen to commentate on all the leagues, and so the system soon runs out and has to send out the default guy, so I will get that fixed for next week by adding more commentators to each league.

Nantes on fire!

Charlton awful first half showing. Rocket going up em in the dressing room.
Need a much improved second half performance.

Leicester. Betis. sort it out.

End of inspirational team talk

That's up there with 'I have a dream...'

Steady for both Flamengo and Barcelona so far, just need to build on it and build up some goal difference!

Very pleaded to see Torres get his first goal, also nice to see Rooney sharing the goals amongst the other strikers aswell.

Hopefully more of the same second half. Pleased arsenal seemed to have finally got ourself back on track. Unfortunately other results arnt going ourway.

okay the second half is ready and the whistle has blown...we're off...

and a goal almost immediately at St Andrews, and this one really could be crucial...

what a cracker from Javier Hernandez that caught the light blues cold to make it

Birmingham 2 Man City 2

after 46 minutes.

Atalanta 0 Ancona 2 Seb Giovinco with his second of the game on 46 minutes.

Atalanta 1 Ancona 2 Edinaldo Grafite on 49 minutes.

and I can tell you that is it now

Real Madrid 3 Celta 0

following a David Silva header on 49 minutes.

Lille 1 Monaco 0 Wesley Schneider after 50 minutes.

Etienne 1 Paris 1

Groningen 0 Ajax 1

and a fourth goal to report from Real Madrid's game...

this time it is Keisuke Honda who has scored to make it

Real Madrid 3 Celta 1

and he is about the only player on the Celta team who doesnt look out of place here so his goal, even though it was a penalty, is well deserved.

Leeds 1 Wolves 1
Dundee 1 Rangers 2

and a fifth goal at Real Madrid...

wham bam thank you ma'am and Real have restored their advantage with a shot from Lionel Messi on 52 minutes which makes the score

Real Madrid 4 Celta 1

Inverness 1 Queens Park 2 oh dear trouble for the Champs in this game and they cant afford to drop any further behind Rangers.

Inverness 2 Queens Park 2 seems the players realise the importance of this game after all.

55 minutes gone now...

Blackpool 1 Spurs 2

and Josue has been sentoff in the rain for Roma.
