The chasing pack need to go up a level if they want to catch the leaders.

Cruzeiro 16 +8

Top two continue to dominate.

Eire

Derry 24 +15
Cherry 18 +16 Champions
Shamrock 16 +3
Limerick 15 +5

One of those leagues where anybody can beat anybody except Derry who have yet to drop a point and are looking a solid outfit.

Premiership

Watford 21 +19 Champions
Charlton 18 +8
Arsenal 16 +1
Chelsea 15 +6

Watford seem to be revving up to top gear already and are unbeaten in seven games now, but Charlton seem to have hit some good form and are hot on their heels, neither can afford any slips.

Big defeat for Newcastle this week allows Birmingham to open out a five point lead and they are looking good.

Still close but can the chasing pack take any points off Nantes when they meet ?

Germany

Schalke 18 +15
Frankfurt 17 +6

A collectors item this week with the top two both losing which allowed fast improving Frankfurt to go second.

Holland

Twente 24 +23
Ajax 21 +22
PSV 21 +21
Rotterdam 21 +17

Eight straight victories keeps vastly improved Twente top of the table, but its a quagmire just below them and they could still be dragged down...exciting season unfolding here.

Italy

Inter Milan 22 +13
Juventus 19 +14
AC Milan 18 +9
Lazio 17 +7 Champions

A vital late goal for Inter keeps them three points clear of second placed Juventus but its still very tight.

Porto starting to slip behind as the top two continue to win.

Motherwell keeping up the pace and maintaining that five point gap.

Slovakia

Hard to see how Ruzomberok could get any better after they demolished the second placed team.

Spain

Barcelona 20 +14 Champions
Real Betis 17 +15

Good wins for the top four keeps the competition strong, for them anyway.

Great win for Harrisburg cuts Chicago's lead to just two points as they inflict the Fire's first league defeat of the season.

Transfers in the morning, thanks for your company today, have a good one...

Congrats Tom, my Plymouth side are certainly inferior atm. Great wins for the rest - Twente flying it seems, despite an average age of 35 or something like that lol!

Thanks Paul

Paris have sold Kingsley Coman to Schalke for £170millions this week but a similarly large bid for Tottenham's Leroy Sane has been rejected as the Spurs boss who feels Sane is to valuable in their bid to get back into the Premiership this season and he wont be selling him any time soon.

Coaching is underway...

Finances then printing...

Thanks Ben, I have a very strong suspicion though that it was a very good time to play you as you are in the process of sorting out your teams!!  I'm sure it won't be long before you start to see the fruits of your labour!

Lol, it’s not the Plymouth game don’t worry - it didn’t make a difference to the game itself, just thought was a bit strange so wanted to alert Paul!
