Argentina 

Argentinos 37 +42
Estudiantes 35 +41
River Plate 30 +29 Champions
Boca 28 +28

Great win for second placed Estudiantes as they won a narrow victory in a hard fought match against the current Champions third placed River Plate, the win opens up a gap to third and keeps the pressure firmly on leaders Argentinos, not a bad start to his CF career for boss Colin Brown...

Brazil

Botafogo 32 +24
Sao Paulo 28 +14
Fluminense 26 +11 Champions
Cruzeiro 21 +12
Santos 21 +7

Dutch

Genk 39 +55 Champions
Ajax 33 +24
Alkmaar 26 +6 unmanaged
PSV 24 +24

Defeat for PSV at Mechelen probably ends their slim hopes of the title but wins for both first and second keep it interesting...

Eire

Cherry 29 +31
Derry 28 +30
Bohemians 26 +20
Cork City 25 +6

Cork's Total victory at Flying Derry dents the home sides title hopes as Cherry leapfrog them back to the top of the table and a Harry Arter second half strike for Bohemians keeps them right up there challenging...

Premiership

Watford 37 +37 Champions
Charlton 30 +24
Villa 21 +7
Plymouth 21 -1

Watford just seem to get better and better with another fine away performance today to beat an improving Villa team as Plymouth continue their run of good form...

Championship

Everton 31 +30
Man United 25 +13
------
Banstead 24 +7
Birmingham 22 +14
Westham 22 +4
Tranmere 19 +5
------
Wolves 19 +2

Favorites for promotion Everton remained unbeaten as Man United showed their class and my own Banstead went six games without conceding a goal which is a new club record although we've only scored eight goals in those six games which is a bit worrying, but then again that is how the slow tactic is designed to work so I should really be quite pleased...

France

Nantes 37 +36 Champions
Paris 31 +25
Etienne 30 +28
Monaco 22 +0

Wins for the top three maintained the status quo who are rocking all over the world...

Germany

Bayern 35 +42
Schalke 29 +39 Champions
Gladbach 27 +20
Stuttgart 23 +3

A narrow defeat for Gladbach allowed on form Schlake to move above them in the table and a narrow victory for Bayern sees them maintain a gap at the top...

Lazio 37 +49 Champions
ACMilan 29 +26
InterMilan 27 +11
Juventus 26 +14

Leaders and current Champions Lazio remained unbeaten as the race for second place hotted up...

Prussia

Ruzomberok 39 +57 Champions
Gornik 34 +26
Slovan Bratislava 21 +12
Wisla 20 +8

Sixty One goals for Ruzomberok in just 13 games says it all really...everybody else is looking forward to next season apparently...

Scotland

Aberdeen 30 +15
Motherwell 28 +19
Celtic 27 +18 Champions
Rangers 26 +16

All change at the top of the Scottish Premier as Aberdeen secured a vital home win over last week's leaders Motherwell, fans are asking has Motherwell's bubble burst, whilst Celtic look to be back to top form in third and defeat for the Saints in Glasgow ends their title hopes but consolidates Rangers fourth position nicely...

Spain

Barcelona 37 +31 Champions
Real Madrid 30 +28
Real Betis 26 +22
Sevilla 22 +19
Valencia 22 +13

A penalty gave the leaders victory over Atletico Madrid whilst a very tight game at Sevilla ended goalless as both counter attacking sides found it hard to make any headway, a result that will probably prove to be the death bell for Real's slim title hopes. Valencia did beat Betis to move closer to third place and at least some respectability...

MLS

Cosmos 37 +34 Champions
Chicago 34 +42
Harrisburg 29 +21
NewYork 28 +14

Good away wins for both Chicago and Harrisburg keep them hanging to the shirt tails of leaders Cosmos who probably ended the title hopes of NewYork this week as their wingers proved too fast for the Yorkers defence to handle...

Transfers now...

Only two bigger deals this week as Man City signed James Ward-Prowse for £20millions and it looks like Leroy Sane may be on his way out of the club as City continue their search for a world class striker but nothing confirmed on those rumors yet and Mario Lemina joined Spurs for £15millions.

Coaching now...

Email turns all sent out...

And we have a sponsor ! our first one and for the next turn it has allowed me to reduce the order cost by 50pence on each of the order types, it wont be anything intrusive and will be embedded at the top of your email turn I send out next week. It may become a regular thing but that is unsure at the moment so maybe take advantage and play a couple of extra friendlies  .

Hi Paul, have sent over £20, completely forgot with stocktake at work.

Thanks Gary, much appreciated.

I think I've got my last European opponent scout reports instead of my next one?  Anyone else?

Yes, me too. Got Juve instead of Bayern...
