Lillestrom 0 Viking 4 Rafael Sobis penalty on 81 minutes.

Sedan 1 Lille 4 Edgar Junior on 82 minutes.

Gremio 6 Botafogo 3 Roberto Soldado with a fine shot for what I think is his hatrick on 84 minutes.

Gremio 6 Botafogo 4 Pintao strikes back immediately on 85 minutes in a ten goal thriller.

Nice 1 Lyon 6 Dante on 87 minutes.

Roberto has just booked himself a one way flight to Birmingham.

and a crucial goal at Bochum where it is now

Bochum 0 Bayern 1

after D'Alessandro shot past a flaying goalkeeper to surely seal all three points for title contenders Bayern Munich.

and a late strike from Falcao has made it

Real Madrid 3 Sevilla 1

on 89 minutes.

Bassa 1 Harrisburg 3 Zizzi on 89 minutes.

Millwall 1 Banstead 2 Heskey, talk about leaving it late lads, on 90 minutes

Sedan 1 Lille 5 Sneijder with at least his third of the game as hatricks continue to rattle in

Martin Caceres has been sentoff for Real Madrid in the dying seconds of that game which looks like now going over into injury time.

and whistles are sounding at most of our grounds...

but i'm hearing that Hector Herrera has scored for Sevilla to make it

Real Madrid 3 Sevilla 2

after 91 minutes and there is still a few minutes of injury time to play in that game.

and that's it it's all over for another week in the league...

that's all we have time for today and i'm going to run the transfers now...

well it has been confirmed, Carlos Tevez has returned to Arsenal in a £40millions deal from Charlton and the speculation on where he will play will start right now. Both Giroud and Van Der Vaart are struggling to get regular first eleven football at the moment at Arsenal and it looks as though Tevez may be taking over at striker from Giroud, but that will have to be confirmed as we anticipate next week's line up from Arsenal boss Phil Green, and with Essien and Diarra both still to return to action it lookslike somebody may well be leaving the Gunners soon as they appraoch their maximum squad size of 25 players.

Don't forget the new ruling on squad sizes, 25 is the maximum number of players you can have who are not at one of your youth academies. If you have 25 then you wont be allowed to sign any more players. ( see the site announcements forum for the reasons why ).

A few of you sent me links to check out in order to do reviews and news but I wont have time today to process those, so you may want to send the proper scout reports next week and try again for those players.
