Bad news for people who simultaneously think Red Bull are the root of all evil in football and Klopp's socialist, man of the people credentials are purer than the Pope's knickers.

Managed to hit a new personal record last week at the Running Festival. Signed up for the 4km a while ago - was training well, but illness and mystery injury (still ongoing with no answers despite three ultrasounds) - I wasn't hopeful I'd even be able to run the distance, but managed 18:48 for the 4KM which I will gladly take, ranking equal second in my age group. Granted most were probably doing the half or full marathon but onwards and upwards from here! (once injury is identified lol)

Week 9 Results Coventry 1-2 Sheff Weds Lille 2-1 Toulouse Schalke 2-2 Hertha Berlin Toronto 0-1 Inter Miami Juventus 1-1 Cagliari Anderlecht 3-0 Standard Liege Aberdeen 3-2 Hearts Bristol City 1-1 Cardiff Feyenoord 2-1 Twente Sevilla 1-0 Real Betis Round-up Several last-minute actions throughout this week - three of the four Saturday games had last-minute winners as Sheff Weds, Lille and Inter Miami all went home with 3 points after goals in stoppage-time. Aberdeen followed suit on Sunday afternoon, whilst Sevilla ended the week with a huge win over their city rivals. Most of the talk in this league though was at the top of the table - top 3 scorers were all in the hunt for the title. To begin with, @Tommy top-scored with 19 points and that took him into 4th. Just ahead, @6666 went into 3rd with 18 points, and he is now level on 121 points with @Viva la FCB, who lost the lead to @RandoEFC. The gap between all 4 - just three points! @Rucksackfranzose and @Azeem still actually aren't far away despite being 5th and 6th. This season continues to be the most open of all with 6 contenders in place to finish 1st, even this early on. Special mentions also to @CaaC (John) for being the only one to predict Juventus' 1-1 draw with Cagliari, and @Coma who was the only one to predict Aberdeen 3-2 Hearts. Everyone scored double-digits, and all but one of us got at least one Perfect Score. Nothing more to say...

Considered for a while , which one of the two only predicted scores should be prediction of the week: the Frankfurt 3-3 Bayern perfect score, or that correct Augsburg 2-1 Gladbach prediction, while the rest guessed Gladbach would win. Finally I decided it didn't matter which of these straighout excellent shouts would be named since the player showing his suprime expertise was in both cases the same- me.
