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.
