Game 64 - Week 7

Doncaster are the new leaders of the Premier League, despite only drawing 0-0 with Sheffield Wednesday this week at Hillsborough.  Sam Roberts' side move a point clear of Glen Pine's Bournemouth after they were beaten 2-1 at surprise challengers West Ham - Kirk Greenway's Hammers now level on points with Glen's team in third place.  A point at home to the league leaders is not a bad result, but Burton's Wednesday are in the bottom three - their situation actually worsened by good results for the teams around them.  Joe Hughes' Wolves climb into almost mid table after a 2-0 win against Steve Bennett's Arsenal who find themselves bottom of the league, Man United are a place higher after they beat David Newton's struggling Rangers 1-0.  Draws for Chelsea and Spurs see both of those just above the drop zone.

Champions Dnipro are the early leaders of the Euro league, bottom club Antwerp beaten 2-0 this week.  Mark Wheat's Juventus are the surprise package at the top, after years battling against relegation they are just a point behind the league leaders following a 3-1 win at Lazio.  Bayern Munich could only draw 1-1 at home to Milan and fall back. Again, it's going to be a thrilling relegation battle here, Mini Mars getting a good point at home to Basle but stay second bottom, two points ahead of Antwerp and level on points with Benfica who drew 0-0 at PSG.  Rich Coupland's Lazio are only just above the relegation zone after their loss at Juve.
