Celta 0 Real 5 Moutinho.

Corinthians 0 Flamengo 3 Maicon header on 83 minutes.

Fulham 0 Charlton 2 Coutinho on 92 minutes.

and that was the last action from this week's league games, I'm going to do a partial roundup, as I am still trying to catchup from the bank holiday, and then straight into the cup quarter-final results...

Premiership

Man City 41 +32
Plymouth 41 +27
Charlton 37 +16

it looks like we are now down to a top three teams with a decent chance of winning the title, esp when you consider that City have to play Charlton last day of the season, Plymouth have the toughest run in ever, and except for the Charton game City's toughest games are 2 derbies against United. I'm not writing Watford or Birmingham off, as anything can still happen with five games left, but the chances of City dropping that many points seems slim.

Championship

Newcastle 41 +20
Arsenal 37 +18
Leicester 34 +10
Leeds 21 -2
Hull 21 -4
West Brom 20 +1
Westham 19 -2
Wolves 18 -5
Soton 18 -6

still too close to call here...

That's good to know - anyone know how many of these games are away?

League One

Villa 35 +11
Forest 30 +5
Bolton 28 +6
Stoke 27 +6
QPR 24 +0
Blackpool 21 -4
Oldham 19 -2
Reading 19 -2
Coventry 18 -7
Wimbledon 17 -5
Norwich 16 -3
Wednesday 15 -5

Villa are still favorites, but a resurgence in form for both Wimbledon and Wednesday may yet save them from the drop to the fourth level, we shall see, best of luck to both of you...
