Get in! That's what he was brought in to do..... but maybe a return to BW next week.....

Great week all round - need to see how Boca got on though...

couldnt ask for much better this week. schalke win twice and berlin and gladbach lose ground in the league!

Argentina

Boca 40 +42
Independente 34 +43
Estudiantes 32 +22
River Plate 31 +25
Argentinos 31 +24 Champions

Boca maintain their lead at the top despite Independente's demolition of River Plate.

Brazil

Santos 40 +33 Champions
Botafogo 32 +34
Flamengo 29 +21
Fluminense 26 +14
Vasco 26 +4
Sao Paulo 24 +8

Santos maintained an eight point gap at the top as they demolished Vasco whilst Botafogo kept up the chase with seven goals of their own against a decent Palmeiras side.

Premiership

Man City 31 +12
Watford 29 +20 Champions
Charlton 29 +14
Chelsea 28 +14
Arsenal 24 +1

The title race got even closer this week as struggling Newcastle defeated the leaders which allowed the chasing pack to move closer. Just three points separates the top four with plenty of crucial 'six-pointers' still to be decided.

Championship

Banstead 36 +18
Palace 34 +18
Soton 26 +6
------
Burnley 25 +10
Norwich 24 +6

A narrow win for Palace kept them in contention and most likely ended Leicester's promotion hopes for the season whilst the hopes of Saints fans were dented as struggling Everton grabbed all three points in a narrow win at St Marys. My own Banstead continue to do well at the top.

France

Nantes 38 +41 Champions
Etienne 34 +30
Paris 33 +24
Monaco 27 +8

Even without MBappe the league leaders are still bulldozering their french counterparts winning at Paris this week to extend their lead at the top to four points.

Germany

Schalke 36 +31 Champions
Berlin 32 +24
Gladbach 29 +7
Leverkusen 28 +22

Leaders Schalke remained unbeaten but good wins for Berlin and 'on fire' Leverkusen keeps this title race interesting.

Italy

AC Milan 39 +28
Inter Milan 37 +32 Champions
Juventus 28 +11
Fiorentina 27 +17

Narrow away wins for the top four maintains the status quo in Italy although it is still a two horse race.

Scotland

Aberdeen 33 +15
Falkirk 29 +15
Celtic 27 +13 Champions
Motherwell 24 -1
Hibs 23 +6

A vital win for the leaders over fourth placed Motherwell solidified their top spot as Falkirk stuttered in a goalless draw at home to Hearts. Partick dominated the game at Celtic but still came away with nil point after a fine brace by sharpshooter Necid, Celtic's alltime top goalscorer.

Spain

Real Madrid 40 +61
Atletico Madrid 39 +52
Barcelona 34 +33 Champions
Valencia 34 +23

Top four all had excellent victories with Real recording yet another seven goal win making it 23 goals for and zero against in the last three league games. Still plenty of very tough games to come though and the title is still well up for grabs.
