And the wrong dates It's not 28-30th August either.

Very sad to hear, even though it was imminent. Legend of a man, let alone a football manager. Did well despite the media adversity when he came to England. And he's man enough to admit he made mistakes. It's part of the Amazon documentary. I watched it today and one of the first clips it says 'six months before diagnosis'. So it seems like Amazon were already filming something about him? Either way, it's extremely poignant watching it today knowing he's passed away. It's very moving when he utters those lines. Brought a tear to the eye.

Cracking game at Villarreal. Naive foul from the Celta player, penalty to Villarreal in the final seconds of stoppage time. Dani Parejo misses the penalty but scores the rebound. 4-3.

Any Arsenal fans have any explanation as to why Trossard seemed so arrogantly moody when scoring against Villa...?

Fair. Wonder if a foreign club comes in for Eze late on...

Remarkable scoring from a few players, but the most notable would be from @Rucksackfranzose, who amassed 22 points including 3 perfect scores to fire himself into top place and be two points clear of @Storts and @Dan. The latter also scored very well, gaining 21 points to go up to 3rd, and he also achieved 3 perfect scores too. @nawoo got 19 points to go up to 4th place, whilst newbie @Pep Talk got 19 points and is immediately off the bottom and into the mix without doing much chasing. Sadly, it's at the expense of @Pyfish who missed out on predicting and falls all the way from 2nd to bottom.

Week 3 Results Bristol City 1-1 Coventry Hibernian 2-2 Dundee Lyon 0-2 Monaco Udinese 2-1 Lazio Espanyol 0-1 Real Sociedad CF Montreal 0-5 New England LA Galaxy 2-0 Atlanta Magdeburg 2-2 Schalke Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 Feyenoord Swansea 1-1 Cardiff Round-up An unprecedented amount of draws for this week didn't deter three of the players this week - the trio of @6666, @Rucksackfranzose and @CaaC (John) all top-scoring with 17 points and vastly improving their positions, with all 3 now in the top 5. The first two are both now only 4 points behind @nawoo in 1st place. Aside from those 3, it wasn't a very good showing from the rest of us! Next best was 12 from the leader as well as @Spike, and the less said about the scores from myself, @Pyfish and @Bluebird Hewitt the better!

Reminded me of that Arsenal goal vs Norwich. Deserved a goal in the end.

Do you think you could lose Guehi and Eze by Friday too? Seems to have gone a tad quiet but that would be a killer for you after losing Olise.

Well done @Tommy, it was an outstanding result

Obscene decision.

Thought @Tommy and I would have got a shout out for the 2-3 Leverkusen win pick!

Great start...

What a hit

And I think that's as good as it'll get this season

Loving my week so far. Kramaric, Gittens, Doan, Wirtz all scoring.

Leverkusen with another last minute goal. Carrying on their habit from last season.

Stupendous strike

If there's one thing you do, watch Beltran's goal for Vigo against Valencia just now. Lovely hit.
