Season 26 week 11 processing...

welcome to a great game that is very evenly matched and I expect plenty of goals today the first of which has been scored by City and it was Leighton Baines up from the back to slot the ball home, taking good advantage of Charlton's wing backs, to give City an early lead, so after 26 minutes it is

Charlton 0 Man City 1

Alkmaar 1 Ajax 0 Valdivia on 26 minutes.

Ajax continue to struggle, an excellent oppurtunity it would seem for somebody else to step up in Holland and take their league title, something they have won all but once in the last ten years.

Sunderland 1 Wolves 0 Vaughan on 27 minutes.

Schalke 3 Uerdingen 0 Cavani header on 29 minutes.
Villareal 0 Sevilla 1 Pardo.

Schalke on fire at the moment for sure.

Scunthorpe 1 Brighton 1 Payet penalty on 30 minutes.
Bayern 2 Dusseldorf 0 Podolski.

Flamengo 2 Corinthians 0 Zhirkov on 31 minutes.
Raith 0 Morton 1 Nuttall, his first league goal.

Vasco 1 Fluminense 0 Tiago Oliveira on 34 minutes. Tom's taken over at Fluminense.
Oldham 1 Palace 0 Nugent header.
Fiorentina 2 Parma 0 Carlos Alberto.

Wednesday 2 Grimsby 0 Carrick freekick on 35 minutes.
Villareal 0 Sevilla 2 Herrera.
Bilbao 0 Real 3 Hazard. enjoying his extended run in the side.

Ha! And the old boys too...

it was a superb jump by Yaya Toure that has allowed him to head Charlton level here and it is no more than they deserve making it

Charlton 1 Man City 1

after 38 minutes of pulsating football.

Cagliari 2 Lazio 1 Meghni freekick on 38 minutes.

Cherry 0 Shelbourne 1 Ikedia on 39 minutes, a bit of a shock for the league leaders still unbeaten.
Sunderland 2 Wolves 0 Vergini.

Get in!  Gonna be a long afternoon I think.....

At least it's entertaining!

Sao Joao 0 Gremio 1 Felipe Anderson on 40 minutes, as Gremio continue to improve.
Monaco 0 Etienne 1 Tranquillo.
Dortmund 1 Gladbach 0 Chanturia.
Bilbao 0 Real 4 Ramos header. his second headed goal of the game as the captain steps up again.

Paris 2 Cannes 0 Briand on 42 minutes.

Genk 2 Lierse 0 Figueredo on 44 minutes.

and that's it for the first half, back in ten after these messages from our sponsors...

Exciting half at The Valley, not sure the nerves will hold out for the full 90 mins. Players seem to be coping well under the changes and responded well to going behind.  Need to kick on and get that all important win hopefully in the second half.

Nantes again don't seem to be bothered with the first half, hopefully a better showing in the second to come.

Inter ahead and hopefully can maintain a lead against a Roma side who are really strong at home. Villa 0-0 with runaway Championship leaders Liverpool so that's going well too. Still a long 45 to go.

Just saw Ollie online and thought we were gonna have another ipodgate incident, although thinking about it, it might be half term?
