Season 31 Week 20 processing...

Another enjoyable (for me anyway, before Gaz interupts...) week Paul, thanks

Mixed set of results, Charlton one was expected although still a little disappointed we couldn't mount a fight back against 10 men.  A plan B is certainly needed for the big games away from home me thinks, couple of games left to try something different out which is good.

Fluminense cup final result was tough to take, however the team showed great character in the league game and defied fatigue to provide a sensational result.  Equally as shocking a result was Vasco beating Santos, although Vasco do have that kind of performance in them which will hopefully not prove the case come week 22!

Nantes, sensational. 

Congrats to all the cup winners and teams who clinched league titles this week!

Delighted to bring in Frenkie De Jong to bolster Atletico's midfield - the revolution is nearly complete - likely to be one more incoming in Spain up front - although the manager is considering an internal promotion from across the group.

The German Axis of Hummels, Ginter and Kroos is set to provide a solid base for Nicolo Barella and Frenkie De Jong to support Paulo Dybala and the Colombian duo of Santos Borre and Duvan Zapata. Oscampos, Palacious, Wiegl and Isco providing alternative options and the tactical flexibility to mount a real challenge next season.

A few outgoings though likely with the manager looking to move some of the players who have been out on loan on in the coming weeks.

Printing in the morning and then I'll send out all the email turns. Thanks for your company again this week as usual it was great fun. Now i'm crossing my fingers for the game tonite...

Thanks Paul for another great week!

You and me both! Although I think ours is a bit more of a long shot!!

Frustrating you wouldn’t have seen the first leg as City were on at the same time! Vinicius seemed to come of age and would’ve been good to review him!

City looking very good, all the tools to go all the way for sure! 

On the plus side, you will have seen first hand how good Jude Bellingham is!

Pep Guardiola was taken aback. "I cannot believe [he is only 17]. Maybe he is a liar! He is so good!"

Bellingham was immense last night. Plays  like he's 28.
