Game 64 - Week 12

A battering for Chelsea!  The team that held a three point lead at the top of the Premier League last turn suffered a real thumping at the home of the team that were down in 7th place.  Jamie Maycroft's Manchester City gave the league leaders a real footballing lesson, tonking them 4-1, Goetze with two goals, Maxwell and Torres the others.  City only move up one place to sixth, but are a mere five points behind the leaders with just under half of the season to go.  Rich Coupland's Wolves climb into second place after a 3-0 home win over Arsenal, Dave Burton's Derby dropping to third after a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa.  Glen Pine's Bournemouth are fourth after beating Everton 2-0, only four points off the top, just ahead of Ethan's Arsenal and Jamie's City.  Down at the bottom, it's good to see Marc Lewry's Man United almost double their points tally for the season so far with a victory - they won 3-0 at home to Rangers - and that win means they are level with Kieran's Everton and just a point behind Rangers.  It is looking grim for those bottom three though, Anthony Woods' Spurs in 9th place are now five points clear of the drop zone after a 1-0 home win over Celtic.

Scarborough go marching on - Craig Rathey's side have an amazing 12 wins out of 12 record - this week they went to Millwall and won 5-3.  Kirk Greenway's Hammers are hanging in there, still only six points behind after a 3-1 win over Wigan this week.  Sam Roberts' Doncaster are a mere point behind West Ham, they won 4-0 at Grimsby this turn.  Barring a major disaster from the teams above them, Sheffield Wednesday and Liverpool look set for the playoffs - eight and ten points behind the Hammers respectively - but both had big wins this week.  Diego Costa bagged a hat-trick for the Owls, but he's back to PSG next week after his four week loan.

Battering for PSV too - James Bartaby's side came up against Richard Coupland's table topping Lazio and went home after a 5-0 drubbing.  Falcao scored a hat-trick as Lazio won to keep their one point lead over Basle who beat AC Milan 3-0.   Real Madrid stay third after a 2-0 win over Atletico, but dropped points saw Benfica, Bayern Munich, PSG and Antwerp all slip slightly further back from the title battle.  Mini Mars finally arrested a dismal run which had seen them lose five games in a row, a 2-0 win at home to Benfica moves them out of the bottom three and drops Milan in it.

Dnipro lead Serie B by a point from NY Red Bull, both winning in the league this week, and both recording highly impressive wins in the League Cup quarter finals.  Dnipro beat Basle 1-0 thanks to a second half goal from Quick, whilst Red Bull came from behind to win 3-2 at Mini Mars.  Real Madrid beat AIK Stockholm 3-0 and PSG knocked out league leaders Lazio in the other quarter finals.  The Brit League Cup quarter finals were perhaps a step too far for the two big first division clubs, West Ham losing 3-0 at home to Wolves, Scarborough going down 1-0 at Derby.  Celtic beat Arsenal and City beat Bournemouth in the other two matches.

Game 80 - Week 14

It's still neck and neck between Munich and Dortmund in Serie A, is this going to come down to the last match of the season?  Bayern didn't look at their very best this week, but scraped a 1-0 home win over Valencia.  Dortmund won 3-1 at home to Juventus, Modric with two penalties.  Barcelona stay five points behind, Rooney with two as they beat Roma 4-0, but are still hoping for slip ups from the top two in order to close that gap.  PSG beat Wolfsburg 1-0 and are fourth.

Liverpool's stay at the top of the Prem was very short, just a week in fact, a late Sergio Aguero goal saw Mark Wheat's Man City beat them 1-0 at the Etihad and give Arsenal the chance to go back clear.  They took that chance somewhat emphatically, Patrick Lyons' Gunners recording a 4-0 win at Celtic, Giroud with a brace.  City remain four points behind, but now only a point behind Louis King's Liverpool, and with eight games left still very much in the race.  Just about so too are Joe Hughes' United, comfortable 3-0 winners at home to Newcastle this week and seven points off top spot.

The biggest FA Cup game this week was probably the Manchester derby - United knocking out City 2-1, Blind and Shaw scoring, to go through to the quarter finals.  Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all made it through pretty comfortably.  Top game in the Euro FA Cup saw Bayern Munich go to Wolfsburg and win 2-1, whilst Barcelona won 2-1 at home to Valencia.  Juve, Real, Dortmund and PSG all made it through to the quarters.

Game 1 - Week 22

The game 1 season comes to an end, with Louis Browne's Arsenal recording an emphatic 4-1 win at Cardiff to take the Premier League title.  Needing just a point to be sure, they were a goal up through Clichy after just a minute and from then on were totally in control.  Giroud added a hat-trick as the Gunners finish the season three points clear of Louis King's Southampton.  Saints finished with a win themselves, beating Leeds 3-1, whilst John Ferrier's United came in third, 13 points behind the champions.

PSG took the Euro crown, their margin of victory so comfortable that they were able to lose this week - a 1-0 reverse to Bayern Munich - and still take the title by six points.  Juventus pipped Valur for second spot, Jamie Maycroft's side coming third, with Bayern Munich fourth and FC Tuscon fifth.  Real Madrid won the FA Cup, Gerard O'Brien's side beating Barcelona in the final thanks to two Messi goals.  He also scored in the Europa league final, but his team lost that one - FC Tucson beating them 3-1.  James Teager's Juventus won the Champions League, beating PSG 2-1 in the final, Costa scoring both goals there, and Arsenal won the Brit FA Cup, beating Man United 3-1.

Game 80, Week 13

Liverpool join Arsenal at the top of the Premier league, after a 2-0 home victory over Everton, Daniel Sturridge with both goals.  The Gunners dropped a couple of points, Patrick Lyons' side held 0-0 at home by Man United.  City are third after a 4-0 win over Newcastle, with United fourth, seven points behind the leaders.

Chris Quick's Munich and John Ferrier's Dortmund are tied at the top of Serie A after away wins for both this week - Bayern won 3-0 at Roma whilst Dortmund beat Monaco 3-1.  Third placed Barcelona slip to five points behind after a crushing 3-0 defeat at Wolfsburg.

Game 99 - Week 13

Wins in the Prem for the top two, defeats for the teams in third and fourth - could this league be developing into a two horse race?   Jamie Maycroft's Wolves are three points clear at the top after they beat Chelsea 2-0 at Molineux.  Patrick Lyons' Southampton are close behind after a 4-0 win at West Ham.  Spurs drop to six points behind the leaders after they lost 1-0 at Everton whilst Man United are now nine points behind the leaders in fourth place after a 2-1 home loss to Arsenal.

Kieran's La Coruna are now four points clear in Serie A and heading for that elusive title.  Two goals from Ronaldo saw them win 2-1 at Dortmund, as their two closest rivals slipped up.  The sides in third and fourth played each other - Anthony Woods' Milan held 0-0 at home by Joe Hughes' Roma, results which do neither team much good.  Real Madrid drop to fifth, nine behind the leaders, after a 0-0 draw with Valencia - Bayern climb above them by winning at Benfica.

Game 64 - Week 11

Lazio are back on top, Dickie Coupland's side leapfrogging Basle after a 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid, Glen Pine's side being held 1-1 at PSV.  It was a strange week - with four out of the six games ending in draws.  Benfica drew at home to Bayern, Real Madrid drew at Juve and AC Milan held Antwerp to a 0-0 draw.  The only other losers in the league were Mini Mars who are now second from bottom after a 1-0 defeat at Paris St. Germain.

Chelsea beat Wolves at Stamford Bridge to move three points clear in the Prem, Kroos with a late winner after Henriquez had missed a penalty for the visitors.  Derby are up to second after a 2-0 home win over Spurs whilst Arsenal are up into fourth after they beat Man U 3-0, Messi scoring two more.

Game 64 - Week 10

Glen Pine's Basle are the new leaders of Serie A, after earning a point away at Gerard O'Brien's Bayern Munich in a particularly bad tempered affair.   The home side seemed to be well in control after two Sergio Aguero goals in the first twenty minutes of the game, and when Lukaku was sent off ten minutes later for Basle, Bayern fans would have expected their side to go on and dominate the game.  However, goalscorer Aguero himself saw red just before half time - and the game changed completely in the second half.  Pedrito pulled one back six minutes into the second half, and Benteke grabbed a late late equaliser in the final minute.  Defeat for Richard Coupland's Lazio means that despite not winning, Basle are now top.  Lazio lost 1-0 at Bazz Wetton's Antwerp, Henrique with the only goal of the game.  Lazio are one of three clubs now a point behind the leaders, Benfica are third after a 3-1 win at PSV whilst Real Madrid are in fourth after a stunning 5-2 win at Mini Mars.  Zaza scored four times for Real, whilst Dave Burton's Mini Mars seem to suddenly be in free fall, having fallen from title condenders to the relegation places in the space of a week or so.  Two goals from Insigne and a 2-0 win over Atletico saw AC Milan move out of the bottom three and above Mini Mars on goal difference, whilst PSG also climbed away from the bottom somewhat, beating Juventus 3-0 to leave the Turin side second bottom, a point behind Mini Mars and two clear of bottom club Atletico.

Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro remain unbeaten in Serie B, they won 1-0 at Leverkusen this week to stay two points clear of New York Red Bull, 4-0 winners at La Coruna.  The third and fourth placed sides faced each other - Sturridge with a late equaliser for Palermo at home to Roma, the 1-1 draw there leaves Roma two points outside the automatic promotion spots and Palermo five.

Game 1 - Week 19

Louis Browne is closing in on an impressive double in game 1, his Arsenal side lead the Premier League by three points and his PSG side are six points clear in Serie A with just three games left.

Week 18 saw an emphatic victory for the French side in the Serie A battle.  The two teams that have been battling it out all season, PSG and Dave Burton's FC Tucscon, met in Paris.  Two high quality sides, but one emphatic winner as two goals from Silva and one each from Totti and Messi saw PSG win 4-1.  That saw them move eight points clear, only for that lead to be once again cut back to six this turn.  Two more goals from Messi, but PSG were held 2-2 at John Ferrier's Sporting Lisbon, whilst Tuscon bounced back brilliantly from last weeks reverse with a 4-1 win over Louis King's Lazio, Wayne Rooney with a stunning hat-trick.  Juventus and Sporting Lisbon are tied for third, nine behind the leaders so essentially out of the title race now, Juve though still in with a chance of second place after their 1-0 home win over Dortmund this week.

Louis Browne's Arsenal have a three point lead at the top of the Prem, wins for the top three this week - Arsenal with a narrow 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.  Louis King's Southampton are second after a 3-0 win at Derby who had O'Connor sent off early on.  Saints are three points behind the leaders, with Man U one point further back after beating Millwall 3-1 this week.  Week 18 saw the Old Trafford side drop points though, a 0-0 home draw with Liverpool, and that could be the result that costs them the title this year.

Game 64 - Week 9

Deadlock in the big game of the day in the Premier League, Niall Cunningham's Chelsea held 0-0 by John Ferrier's Celtic at Stamford Bridge.  That result means Chelsea are knocked off the top of the table, Wolves taking over at the top.  Rich Coupland's side beat Man City 3-2 this week to move a point ahead of Chelsea, three clear of Ethan Bailey's Arsenal who beat Rangers 2-0 at the Emirates.  Celtic drop to fourth, Bournemouth are up to fifth after a 4-1 win at Man United whilst Derby are back in the top half of the table thanks to a 2-0 home win over Everton.

Scarborough's march to promotion continues as they record their ninth win in a row, two goals from Richards, one from Diego Ribas as Craig Rathey's outfit ease past Burnley 3-0.  West Ham stay second after Rafinha's early goal was just about enough for Kirk Greenway's side in the battle with Chris Burton's Sheffield Wednesday.  The Owls are now five points behind the Hammers in the race for the second automatic promotion spot, with Sam Roberts' Doncaster between the two after they won 2-0 at Wigan.

Still at tie at the top of Serie A, but now only two teams level after Lazio beat Real and PSV dropped two points at home to James West's AC Milan.  In this fiercely competitive league, relegation is going to be just as close as the battle for the title.  PSV thought they had the game won when Tah fired them in front 14 minutes from time, but Insigne levelled for the Italians just before the end.  Milan are now joint bottom of the table though, because Joe Spencer's Atletico won 2-1 at home to Mark Wheat's Juventus to move onto 8 points, level with AC and just two behind Juventus.  Back to the top, Lazio and Basle both won and are out front on their own, Glen Pine's Basle beating Bazz Wetton's Antwerp 4-2.  Two of last weeks top two faced each other, Rich Coupland's Lazio recording a 1-0 home win over James Teager's Real Madrid, Danilo with the only goal of the game.  Gerard O'Brien's Bayern comfortably beat David Burton's Mini Mars 3-0, Suarez, Schweinsteiger and Aguero all scoring, to move fourth, ahead of Benfica on goal difference now after Louis King's side won 2-1 at home to PSG.

Serie B has new leaders, Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro winning a thriller against Patrick Lyons' NY Red Bull.  Red Bull were 2-1 up at half time but an impressive 20 minute hat-trick from Sako at the start of the second half saw Dnipro take the match 4-3.  They go a point clear of both New York and Hayden Dando's Roma who won 2-0 at home to Leverkusen.

Game 80 - Week 9

Manchester City move into the Premier League top three with a 1-0 victory over United at Old Trafford, Sergio Aguero with the only goal of the game in the first half.  City climb above their local rivals but remain four points off the top after leaders Liverpool won 3-0 at Southampton, Borini scoring twice.  Arsenal stay second, a point behind the leaders, after a 4-1 win at Newcastle.

In the Euro, Chris Quick's Bayern Munich stay top, two points clear, after a comfortable 3-0 home win over AC Milan.   Two goals from Luis Suarez for Barcelona saw them beat PSG 2-0 to stay second, Dortmund are third after a  2-0 win at Inter, Subotic scoring both.

Game 1 - Week 17

PSG's maintained their five point lead at the top of Serie A - only five games to go now.  Louis Browne's side won 3-1 at home to Duncan Martin's Dortmund to maintain the gap to second placed FC Tucson.  David Burton's side kept their hopes of a first title alive by beating James Teager's Juventus 2-0 with two early penalties from Wayne Rooney the difference between the sides.  Juve are now eight points behind the leaders and it's probably a two horse race from here on in.  Down at the bottom, Markie's Barcelona recorded a vital win in their bid to avoid the drop - two goals from Thomas Muller saw Bayern Munich beaten 2-1 and Barca move to 8 points from safety.  Still probably too much to do, but it does look like the usual 'a point a game is enough to stay up' rule will not apply this season.

Arsenal, United and Southampton remain the top three in the British league, Arsenal still two points clear of United with Saints a point further back.  All three won pretty comfortably this week, Arsenal beating Millwall 4-0, United with a 3-0 victory over Chelsea and Southampton winning 4-1 at Man. City.

Game 64 - Week 8

The big game in the Euro league this week saw Lazio beat Bayern Munich 3-1 to stay top of the table, defeats for Munich, Benfica and Antwerp saw the number of teams tied at the top cut to four.  Lazio have the better goal difference still, PSG are next after a 3-2 home win over PSG, then Basle - 2-1 victors over Mini Mars, then Real Madrid who beat Antwerp 1-0.   Of the top four, only Real Madrid are away from home next turn (at Lazio) so there is perhaps finally an opportunity for the leaders to open up a bit of a gap.

Wins for the leaders in the Prem too, Chelsea with a home win over Derby, who drop down to sixth, and Wolves winning at home to Tottenham 3-0.  Climbing above Derby are Man City, up to third a 4-2 home victory over Bournemouth, Celtic who won 1-0 at home to Rangers, and Arsenal who beat Everton 2-0.

The Super Cup final will be between Lazio and Real Madrid.  Rich Coupland's Lazio beat Chelsea 3-1 in the first semi final, James Teager's Real beat Derby 2-1 in the other.

Game 1 - Week 16

It could all come down to the final week in the Premier League, as the top three remain three points apart and all keep winning - and winning well.  Leaders are still Louis Browne's Arsenal, two points clear of John Ferrier's Man United following a 4-0 home win over Chelsea.  United won 3-0 at Leeds whilst Louis King's Southampton are a point further back in third after a 4-2 win at Everton.  It could still come down to goal difference though, and Saints currently have the best.

The Euro league is a little closer after second placed Juventus beat leaders PSG this week, James Teager's side with a 2-1 home victory thanks to goals from De Jong and Hazard.  FC Tucson drop to third following a 1-0 defeat at Sporting Lisbon, with both Juve and Tucson five points behind the leaders.  Lazio climb to fourth after a 3-0 home win over Dortmund and close the gap to the top back to eight points.

Game 80 - Week 7

Arsenal recorded the big win of the day in the Brit league, Patrick Lyons' side going to Stamford Bridge and beating Chelsea 4-1.  Giroud, Ozil, Cazorla and Wilshire scored the goals for the Gunners who are second in the table, one point behind leaders Liverpool.  The Anfield side recorded a fine away win this week too, beating Newcastle 4-1 at St. James' Park.  Man United are third after a 4-1 win at Celtic, City fourth following a 5-0 home win against Everton.  Chelsea drop to fifth and Spurs up to sixth after a 1-0 win at Southampton.

Game of the day honours in the Euro league went to Barcelona and Bayern Munich who met in the Nou Camp.  Goals from Rat and Marcelo had put the visitors 2-0 up, but a brace from Suarez levelled things for Barca, only for Schweinsteiger to score the winner for Munich in the very last minute of the game.  Bayern are second, a point behind PSG who won 2-1 at Inter,  Dortmund are third after a 4-2 win at AC Milan, Barcelona fourth and Valencia fifth after they beat Monaco 4-0.

Game 1 - Week 15

Seven games to go - PSG open up a five point lead at the top of Serie A.  Could this be the conclusive move of the season, or are there still a few twists and turns in the story?  Second placed FC Tucson were held 1-1 at home by Valur, Torres levelling in the second half from the penalty spot after Rooney had given the home side the lead in the first.  PSG beat Lech Poznan 3-1, Messi, Ozil and Alves scoring.  Juventus aren't out of it yet, though they are eight points behind the leaders in third place, two goals from Costa for them this week in a 3-0 home win over Roma.  Time is running out for Markie's Barcelona, 7 points from safety after a 1-0 defeat at Dortmund.

Louis Browne's Arsenal are the new Premier league leaders after a 3-1 home win over Newcastle, moving two points ahead of Man United who drew 0-0 at home to third placed Southampton.

Game 64 - Week 7

After seven games it is ridiculously close in the Euro league of game 64, with 11 out of the 12 teams in the league all in with a realistic chance of either winning it, or being relegated!  Only Joe Spencer's Atletico Madrid seem to be out of it - they have just two points - but they're no pushovers as PSV found this week - James Bartaby's Eindhoven just about scraping through with a 2-1 win.  The top seven sides all have 12 points after this weeks games, Rich Coupland's Lazio are top of the pile after a 3-0 home win over Glen Pine's Basle who are level on points with them.   Louis King's Benfica moved up to second after a 2-0 home win over Mark Wheat's Juve - Juventus are now 11th, but are still only five points off the top.  Gerard O'Brien's Bayern are third with Ronaldo firing in two more, Aguero adding another too.  Antwerp join the top group after a 1-0 win at home to Mini Mars, Insigne with the late winner.  Mini Mars are now 8th, a point behind the top two, with PSG two points behind.  The way things are going we could easily see either on top in a week or two.  AC Milan moved onto 7 points, ahead of Juve, with a 2-1 win over PSG.

Patrick Lyons' NY Red Bull are one of two sides with perfect records in game 64, the other being Craig Rathey's Scarborough in British div.1.  They lead Serie B by two points from Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro after both won this week.  Nastasic got the winner for Red Bull as they won 1-0 at Duncan Martin's Palermo, whilst Dnipro beat Roma 2-0 at home after Didier Drogba was sent off for the visitors, a result that drops Hayden Dando's side to third in the table, three points off the lead.

The British league isn't quite as close as the Euro, but the title is still up for grabs with most of the table still in the running.  Chelsea are the new leaders, last weeks top side Celtic drop to sixth.  Niall Cunningham's Chelsea went behind early on at home, Messi putting Ethan Bailey's Arsenal ahead, but two goals in the last 13 minutes from Contrao and Kroos saw them just scrape the three points.  Rich Coupland's Wolves beat Marc Lewry's Man United 4-0, and are a point behind Chelsea, Glen Pine's Bournemouth are two points off the top in third place after their thrilling 4-3 victory over James West's Aston Villa.  Villa are currently bottom of the table with three points.  Derby and Man City both won as well and both are two points behind the leaders along with Celtic.

As previously said, Scarborough have a 100% record in division 1, they're five points clear of Sam Roberts' Doncaster.  Another potential rival was beaten this week, Craig Rathey's side putting four past Nick Smith's Liverpool without reply.  Sam Roberts' Doncaster stay second, Cavani with a brace in their 4-0 win over Burnley, West Ham and Newcastle are a point behind them.  The Magpies won 1-0 at home to Wigan this week, the Hammers thumping 'a soccer team that are really quite swell', the magnificent Grimsby Town, 4-0.  Sheffield Wednesday were the leagues biggest scorers - Llorente with four goals in a 5-2 win at West Brom. Boss Chris Burton may have had other things on his mind this week - he's now a dad - so congratulations Chris from game 64!

Game 80 - Week 6

The top five all won in the British league, in most cases very comfortably, giving the impression that the league title will indeed probably be decided by the results between these main contenders.  Three points separates Mark Wheat's United in fifth from leaders Liverpool.  Biggest victory came from second placed Arsenal, Patrick Lyons' side, who trounced West Ham 5-0, but Liverpool, Man City and Man U all won 4-1 with only really Hayden Dando's Chelsea finding it slightly tough, beating Everton 1-0.

Euro leaders PSG were held for only the second time this season, Anthony Brockway's side drawing 1-1 at James Teager's Valencia, so Niall Cunningham's Barcelona are now top following a routine 5-0 win at Monaco.  Two late goals for Chris Quick's Bayern Munich away at Jamie Maycroft's Juventus rescued a point to move them up into third ahead of John Ferrier's Dortmund, beaten 2-0 at James Bartaby's Wolfsburg.

Game 80

Turn five in all new game 80, and the big game in the British league saw Joe Hughes' Man United host Louis King's league leaders Liverpool.  Not a great deal to say about the match, which finished 0-0, but Liverpool stay top and United stay fourth, three points behind.  That result was good news for both Chelsea and Arsenal though who move to just a point behind the leaders with victories - Arsenal winning 4-1 at Southampton and Chelsea with a 1-0 win at West Ham.  Man City are now only four points behind the leaders after an Aguero hat-trick in their 4-1 home win against Southampton.

John Ferrier's Dortmund continue to lead Serie A after wins for all the top three, Dortmund beat Real Madrid 1-0, PSG stay level with them after a 3-0 win at home to Roma and Bayern are a point behind the top two after beating Monaco 4-0.  Niall Cunningham's Barcelona drop to fourth after a 1-1 draw at home to Valencia - a game which saw Lionel Messi sent off after 77 minutes and then Valencia bag a late late equaliser.

Game 1

Shock result of the day, quite possibly, came in Munich, where James Bartaby's Bayern - currently only just outside the relegation zone - put on their performance of the season, destroying league leaders FC Tucson.  David Burton's side were put to the sword as Van Persie scored a hat-trick and Ronaldo added a fourth, Bayern winning 4-0.  The goal difference swing between the two Tucson and PSG (they were exactly equal before this weeks games) was magnified by the performance of the side from Paris - and one of their players in particular.  Lionel Messi scored five times as Louis Browne's side won 5-0 at Roma to move three points clear.  It probably remains a two horse race, but the teams behind are keeping up the pressure where they can.  James Teager's Juventus won 1-0 at Barcelona to keep them eight points behind the leaders, but time looks to be running out for Markie's Barcelona who - after Bayern's win this week - are now seven points from safety down in the bottom three.

The battle for the Premier League continues to be between the top three - John Ferrier's Man U came from behind to win 2-1 at Everton and stay top, level on points with Louis Browne's Arsenal who won 1-0 at Man City.  Louis King's Southampton are a point behind those two following the 5-0 home demolition of Millwall.

Game 64

Both leagues are incredibly close and we're heading for a magnificent game 64 season which should culminate in one of the best live week 22 turns ever if things carry on in the way they currently are.

Serie A first, and Basle are the new leaders, Coach Pine's side going top after Lukaku's early strike gave them a 1-0 win at Joe Spencer's bottom of the table Atletico.  None of last weeks top four won this week, hence things closing up nicely.  Real Madrid are second, level on points with Basle, after James Teager's side lost 2-1 at Louis King's Benfica.  Dave Burton's Mini Mars are a point further back after hanging on for a 0-0 draw at James West's AC Milan despite the second half sending off of Solanke.  Ladd's PSG were held 1-1 at home by Gerard's Bayern Munich - Cristiano Ronaldo getting another goal for Munich after Da Silva had put the home side ahead.  Dickie's Lazio drop to sixth after a 2-1 defeat at Markie's Juventus, but are just three points behind the leaders as are seventh placed Benfica, Bayern in eighth and ninth placed Antwerp.

Serie B could be equally thrilling, despite the fact that there are just four teams battling it out.  Pat Lyons' NY Red Bull and Hayden Dando's Roma both have six wins out of six, Jamie's Dnipro and Duncan Martin's Palermo both have five wins and a draw, presumably against each other.  That one is going to be decided by the matches between the top four you would think.

John Ferrier's Celtic stay top of the Premier League but just by a point as they drew 1-1 at home to Dickie Coupland's Wolves whilst Niall Cunningham's Chelsea beat Man United 4-1 to go second.  Ethan's Arsenal are third after a 1-1 draw with Glen's Bournemouth - Messi with an early goal for the Gunners but Bournemouth battling back through Wilson.  Wolves are fourth, two points behind the leaders, Bournemouth a point further back in fifth place.  Dave Burton's Derby are up to fifth after winning the match of the day, beating Jamie's Man City 4-3.

Two big wins in two weeks see Scarborough suddenly well in control of division 1.  Last week they won at West Ham, this time out goals from De Jong and Richards saw off Chris Burton's Sheffield Wednesday and Scarborough are five points clear.  Sam's Doncaster go second after a thumping 4-0 win over Millwall, Cavani and Isco amongst the goals there, whilst Kirk's West Ham drop to third following a second consecutive 1-0 defeat, this one coming at Anfield where Borini's goal saw Nick Smith's Liverpool move into the top half of the table.  Newcastle are fourth after a 2-0 win over Grimsby with Wednesday fifth and Liverpool sixth.

Game 99

At the halfway stage in the game 99 season, Jamie Maycroft's Wolves saw their lead at the top of the Premier league table cut to three points after a spectacular goal scoring masterclass from Tottenham's Danny Welbeck.  The leaders took a very early lead against Steve Bennett's side, Chiellini firing Wolves ahead in the opening seconds of the game, but Welbeck levelled before half time then added two more in the second half to give Spurs a 3-1 victory.  Patrick Lyons' Southampton are also three points behind the leaders after they won 3-0 at Celtic whilst Anthony Brockway's Man United are another point back following their 1-0 home win against Blackburn.

The top two are tied in Serie A, Anthony Woods' AC Milan battered John Gilson's Bilbao 5-1 with Robin Van Persie scoring twice, whilst Kieran Hundal's La Coruna won 1-0 at James West's Real Madrid.  The top two are three points ahead of Joe Hughes' Roma who whon 3-0 at Benfica.

Game 56

Chris Quicks' Real Madrid are European champions, a 3-2 win at Gothenburg not really needed this week as they're 8 points clear of Scott Dunford's Bayern Munich.  The British league is going to come down to the final week of the season through, with David Carney's Chelsea currently two points clear of Jamie Messenger's Sheffield Wednesday.  The Stamford Bridge side have the superior goal difference too, so a point for them next week will be enough.  Both scored four away from home this turn, Chelsea winning 4-1 at Everton, Wednesday with a 4-0 win at Carlisle.

Game 80

Easter Sunday turns in game 80 saw John Ferrier's Borussia Dortmund on top of Serie A as both they and Chris Quick's Bayern Munich dropped points for the first time.  Bayern were beaten 2-1 away at James Teager's Valencia and drop to fourth, a point behind the top three.  Dortmund lead on goal difference after they were held 0-0 at Jamie Maycroft's Juventus.  The slip up by the top two allowed Niall Cunningham's Barcelona and Anthony Brockway's PSG to join Dortmund at the top on 10 points, the top three still unbeaten after four games.  Barca won 4-2 at Roma whilst PSG recorded a 2-0 victory at Wolfsburg.

The Premier League still has one team left with a 100% record, Louis King's Liverpool recorded their fourth win of the season, Daniel Sturridge scoring the only goal as Mark Wheat's Manchester City were beaten 1-0 at Anfield.  Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United and Spurs are all just a point behind the leaders, all winning today.  Arsenal beat Celtic 4-1, Chelsea won 3-0 at home to Sunderland, United won 3-0 at Newcastle thanks to a Falcao hat-trick and Spurs beat West Ham 2-0 at White Hart Lane.

Game 1

Defeat for the league leaders Paris St Germain.  Louis Browne's side went into this weeks games unbeaten in 11 and having conceded just one goal all season.  Five minutes into their game against Gerard O'Brien's Real Madrid at the Bernabeu that goals conceded tally was doubled - Ivanovic opening the scoring for Madrid, and early in the second half it was trebled as Chiellini made it 2-0.  Balzaretti pulled one back for the French side, but that's a first loss of the season as they are pegged back by FC Tucson who join them on 27 points.  Dave Burton's side won 2-0 at Roma to go level at the top.  Jamie Maycroft's Valur move into third place, six points behind the front two, after beating James Teager's Juventus 3-1, Torres scoring twice.  Juve drop to fourth with Lazio fifth following a 3-1 win at Lech Poznan whilst Dortmund drop to sixth following their 2-1 loss at Bayern Munich.

Game 64

Real Madrid suffered a surprise setback at the top of Serie A, James Teager's losing for the first time this season as Richard Ladd's Paris St. Germain beat them 1-0 at the Bernabeu, Costa with the only goal of the game from the penalty spot just before half time.  Real stay top, but victories for all the chasing sides mean that the table has closed up a great deal.  David Burton's Mini Marseille are second, two points behind the leaders, after a 2-1 home win over James Bartaby's PSV, with Lazio, Basle, Antwerp and PSG another point further back.

Jamie Maycroft's Man City were held 2-2 at home by Bob's bottom of the table Everton in the Prem, a result that means Celtic move two points clear at the top following their 2-0 win at Man United.  Trailing the leaders by two points are Arsenal, 4-2 winners at Villa, Wolves who won 2-0 at home to Derby and City.   The big match in the first division saw the top two face each other - Kirk Greenway's West Ham losing 1-0 at home to Craig Rathey's Scarborough.

Game 80

Louis King's Liverpool won their third game in a row from the start of the season to lead the Premier table, Sturridge (2) and Skrtel scoring as Everton were comfortably beaten 3-0 in the first Merseyside derby of the new game.  Mark Wheat's Manchester City side moved into second spot with an equally straightforward victory, Newcastle beaten 4-1 at the Etihad, Jovetic, Sagna and Aguero twice on target.  Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United and Tottenham are also on six points, Chelsea and Spurs both recording 1-0 victories this week, whilst United played Arsenal at Old Trafford.  Joe Hughes' side took an 8th minute lead through Radamel Falcao and wrapped up the three points with a second from the same player early in the second half.  Giroud pulled one back for Patrick Lyons' Arsenal but United climb up to fifth.  Southampton recorded their first win of the season to climb to 7th, Wanyama scoring three as Saints won 3-1 at West Ham.

Serie A's big German two have yet to drop points - Chris Quick's Bayern and John Ferrier's Dortmund both with three wins out of three.  Dortmund battered Monaco 4-0 this week, Bayern beat Roma 3-0.  PSG dropped points for the first time this season, Anthony Brockway's team held 1-1 at home by a Real Madrid side who have yet to win a game.  Niall Cunningham's Barcelona beat James Bartaby's Wolfsburg 4-1 though the German side did have Josue sent off, Suarez scoring twice for Barca.

Game 75

It's a three way tie at the top of the Premier league, Celtic comfortably beating QPR 3-0 to lead on goal difference from East Stirling, 3-1 winners against Man United, and Wolves who lost 2-1 at home to Manchester City despite taking the lead in the opening minute of the game.

James West's AC Milan have a 100% record in the Euro league, seven games, seven wins - this week goals from Kroos and Ronaldo saw them win 2-0 away at Bayern Munich.

Game 80

Only two games gone in the game 80 season, still decent clubs available if anyone wants one.  We've already had more transfer drama in the first week of this game than most games manage in a season, but the Euro and British leagues are starting to settle down now...

Louis King's Liverpool and Patrick Lyons' Arsenal are the only two Brit league sides who managed to win both their opening games, whilst in the Euro league, John Ferrier's Dortmund, Anthony Brockway's Paris St. Germain and Chris Quick's Bayern Munich have all managed it.
