Come on Chelsea

Cherry 1 Shamrock 2 Nwakali on 84 minutes.
Fiorentina 1 AC Milan 3 Robert Santos freekick.

Everton 2 Westham 2 Afolayan on 85 minutes.
Atalanta 1 Inter Milan 3 Kramaric header.

Lazio 2 Cagliari 1 Cristante penalty on 86 minutes.

Manager nervously pacing up and down the touchline in all three games, please no late goals again, suffered too many times already this season with them! 

Come on boys, one more last big effort.  Five to go.  Hold it in the corners....

Plymouth desperately need a goal, though against SLO going a goal behind might mean I don't see the ball again for the rest of the game!

Botafogo 3 Fluminense 2 Mahrez on 87 minutes.
Man United 2 Arsenal 3 Bruno Fernandes penalty.
Burnley 4 Birmingham 4 De Laet header.
Falkirk 2 Motherwell 1 Gabriel.

Santos 2 Vasco 1 Jean Chera on 89 minutes.

Roundup to follow...

Kind of the week I expected.

Atletico and Independiente keep moving forward, though teams above not dropping points either

Plymouth show signs of promise but ultimately falling short in close games - although Charlton, Watford, City hasn't been the kindest of runs - need a few more points though as closer to relegation than anything!

Twente - a step too far against Ajax - work to do there

Argentina

Argentinos 28 +25
Independente 27 +21
River Plate 23 +11
Estudiantes 18 +4 Champions

Top four all had good wins to maintain the status quo, looks like the head to head games will decide where this title ends up.

Brazil

Fluminense 25 +14
Botafogo 22 +19 Champions
Vasco 21 +10
Santos 21 +9

Very good and much needed win for Santos sees them move back into contention as the top two play out an exciting draw.

Belgium

Genk 30 +35 
Mechelen 27 +23
Anderlecht 24 +27
Liege 24 +23

Ten wins on the bounce for the leaders looking strong as ever...

Premiership

Watford 22 +18 Champions
Charlton 22 +9
Arsenal 20 +2
Chelsea 19 +7

Still only three points separating the top four makes it a very interesting season with Charlton and Arsenal the big winners this week.

Championship

Birmingham 23 +10
Wednesday 20 +2
Wolves 16 +6
------
Spurs 16 +3
Newcastle 16 +2
Burnley 15 +2

A good home draw for Burnley against the leaders shuffles all the competing clubs closer together, even Banstead, down in eighth are only four points off promotion, so its very close.

Eire

Derry 27 +19
Shamrock 22 +7
Cherry 21 +18 Champions
Bohemians 20 +11

A home defeat for Cherry Orchard the Champions against arch rivals Shamrock did nothing to help them defend their title and allowed leaders Derry to pull even further ahead.

France

Nantes 27 +25 Champions
Monaco 26 +12
Marseille 25 +14

Top three all win as Paris and Etienne both drop further behind on 17 points and probably drop out of the title race already, must do better is the Chairman's message to them.
