Premiership

Charlton 23 +12
Watford 22 +14
Villa 21 +7
Man City 20 +5 Champions
Arsenal 18 +10

Some super games this week espesially at the top which sees Charlton lead the pack...

Championship

Liverpool 27 +17
Fulham 25 +17
Newcastle 23 +14
------
Palace 21 +6
West Brom 20 +8
Bournemouth 15 +1

Looks like a five horse race...

Bundesliga

Wolfsburg 27 +27 Champions
Schalke 26 +16
Hannover 21 +3
Bayern 19 +7

Important 3 points this week for Schalke at home to Bayern keeps them right on the heels of the Champions Wolfsburg...

What a 90 minutes!

Independiete sneak by a goal against second place to extent their lead!

Twente continue their fine form - but can they last the pace.

Despite conceding in the Madrid Derby - a point away is a big result - need wins at home against the big 2 and Barca to drop a point along the way! Out of my hands though - need to win every game from here.

Plymouth - finally clicking (who knows?). Huge result for the team and some minor tactic tweaks helped keen Chelsea's wingers at bay which was the idea! Something to build on, though the form of Odegaard at TM needs looking at - is Alexis MacAllister perhaps the answer at TM (perhaps a review incoming) or will the manager seek to utilise his DY in a more creative role...

La Liga

Barcelona 33 +34 Champions
Atletico 28 +21
Real 25 +13
Valencia 18 +3

The Madrid derby ended all square which must have been very pleasing for Barca's fans who side now have a five point gap at the top...

The same MacAllister currently playing as a number 6?

Serie A

ACMilan 25 +24 Champions
Lazio 24 +23
InterMilan 24 +8
Cagliari 21 +5
Napoli 19 +11
Juventus 18 -2

Lazio continue to power up the table since Johnny took control but can they last the course ?...

France

Nantes 29 +23 Champions
Paris 29 +22
Etienne 28 +26
Bordeaux 17 +3

Nantes stay unbeaten but let Paris close the gap and its now very close...

Brazil

Botafogo 31 +33
Fluminense 26 +14
Santos 20 +12 Champions
Flamengo 18 +6

This is Botafogo's to lose really with them in such superb settled form whilst the Champions Santos continue to struggle by their lofty standards and are now eleven points off the pace...

Argentina

Independente 27 +22 Champions
Velez 23 +25
Estudiantes 23 +23
Boca 21 +9
Argentinos 19 +15
Racing 19 -2

A very good week for the Champions aptly summed up by their boss...

Belgium

Genk 31 +33 
Mechelen 30 +21
Bruges 26 +20
Liege 22 +30
Antwerp 20 +0

Champions Anderlecht lost for the fourth time this season even though its always a tough ask to win at Genk, but they are struggling and look sure to be giving up their crown come season's end...

He's multi-functional it seems - played at TM,DY and PM for Brighton and DY, TM for Argentina - still think he's wasted where he's playing at Liverpool!

You and me both, hopefully Andre will arrive in Jan freeing him up to play higher up the pitch where he should be....

Eire

Cork 27 +24
Cherry 26 +10
Bohemians 25 +26
Shelbourne 23 +8
Derry 20 +23 Champions

Cork stay top and look strong despite pressure from an ageing Cherry Orchard squad with Bohemians also in the mix it likes like being an exciting title race...

Holland

Ajax 28 +38
Twente 28 +30
Feyenoord 27 +29
PSV 25 +21 Champions

A big victory this week for Ajax at PSV sees Feyenoord move up into third as the top four continue to vie for what is turning out to be a very exciting title race...

Scotland

Celtic 21 +12
Aberdeen 21 +2
Rangers 18 +14 Champions
Dundee Utd 18 +3
Hearts 17 +5

Still very close at the top and my first win with St Johnstone away from home this season coming against the Champions and erstwhile leaders, football sure is a funny old game...

He makes great late runs into the box - almost Bellingham esq, in that regard when I've watched him - should be doing that for you!

Portugal

Benfica 29 +33
Porto 28 +14 Champions
Braga 23 +14
Lisbon 19 +8

The Champions suffered a setback at Lisbon to drop two points allowing arch rivals Benfica to go top...
