**BREAKING NEWS***

Cartagena are out of the relegation zone. Amazing stuff considering their abysmal start to the season. Top of the form table too!

[Winston Biscuit]

1-1 draw in the Madrid derby last night. Means there are still just 2 points between the top 2 in la Liga and they play each other on Saturday!

Jordan Henderson makes his Ajax debut. Draws 1-1 with PSV

Stolen from social media - but there were 18 English players in Newcastle's match against Luton, 12 featured at Everton v Spurs and Sheff Utd v Villa, 10 played in Brighton's game with Palace. And Southgate was in Holland to watch Jordan Henderson. That's pretty poor, really.

I did read that one too - he's played nearly 100 league games for Milan, and iirc Southgate has watched him once.

Brest have a player called Brassier

[Sanguine]

Almeria have now gone 26 La Liga games without a victory, and will equal Levante's record of 27 if they fail to beat Athletic Bilbao at home this weekend.

And with just six points so far, they need another eight points from their remaining 15 games to beat the league's record low tally of 13 (Sporting Gijon).

Closest they have come to a win this season was at home to Granada, where they led 3-0 at half-time and 3-2 with five minutes to go, only to be pegged back to a draw.

3 wins in the first 3 league games for Daniele De Rossi at Roma. Though they have Inter next

Serie A looks to be the place to watch the race for Champions League this season. very packed together, only needs a couple of good results and you are suddenly pushing 4th place. could get 5th spot for CL too


Bologna still having a lovely old time under Thiago Motta, with Lewis Ferguson being one of the stories of the season, and reportedly some of the big clubs looking to try and take him in the summer

[Sanguine]

Bologna's highest finish since the 1960s is 7th, and they've done that six times. Last won Serie A in 1964.

[Winston Biscuit]

one of those seasons where a team needs to get something out of it otherwise I assume their talent will get picked off and they are knocked back a few years, as is the nature of football.

Motta rumoured to be on Barcelona's list for potential manager. I still assume Rafa Marquez will get it.

Fans allowed back in to stadiums in Greece from next week after a 2 month ban

also just learned that legend of Turkey, Galatasaray and kebab shop owner punching, Fatih Terim, took over at Panathiniakos recently!

Bellingham scores two against Girona but injures his ankle. Didn't look happy when the camera panned to him on the bench, so could be out for a while.

Leverkusen destroy Bayern 3-0. Xabi Alonso has turned Granit Xhaka into a genuine world-class midfielder. Unreal.
