Swedish champions Djurgardens go crazy in an 8-1 win against Elfsborg.so crazy,even the goalie scored.this is the lighthearted hors d'ouveres(sic).here's the meat

Newcastle 3 Sunderland 2-no Owen,so?the black cats become the guinea pigs all the same
West Ham 2 Boro 1-what a surprise.Boro gets bogged down by the UEFA Cup
Bolton 2 WBA 0-ok we really hit that in whacking Brom back to earth
Everton 1 Chelsea 1-one of the more unexpected scores.there goes their 9 out of 9 records.but who will eventually win Chelsea remains a mystery

Le Mans 2 Strasbourg 0-ok that's entirely within expectations,though not the right ones
Sochaux 2 Monaco 1-we didn't hit this one
Troyes 1 Lens 1-when good they sparkle like gold and rubies.when not it just looked as if i was drinking some fizzy red coloured soft drink from a yellow plastic cup.so unglam
Ajaccio 0 Rennes 1-should they look like relegation candidates Bastia would surely welcome them to Ligue 2
St Etienne 2 Marseille 1-meteoric rise,meteoric fall

Leverkusen 1 Stuttgart 1-not bad for a club in crisis yet again.not good for another club now flying high in the UEFA cup yet again
Dortmund 1 Hamburg 1-had there been Rafael van der Vaart it would have been a win.since he was suspended,draws always look more decent than wins

Chievo 2 Cagliari 1-not quite a draw as expected,but in the scramble to avoid the bottomless pit,this is essential
Lecce 0 Juventus 3-still vintage Juve
Livorno 1 Reggina 0-ok i hit that
Sampdoria 3 Siena 3-what's the matter with Samp recently
Treviso 1 Empoli 2-a rare goal from Treviso,but should they follow an Ancona they are welcome to do so
Udinese 0 Inter 1-Adriano isn't the most important now.it is Figo that rules
Milan 2 Palermo 1-Maldini the evergreen proves he still can hold a game and the Islanders become the guinea pigs
Roma 1 Lazio 1-classical Italian draw,a la Roma.this means 1 half Lazio,1 half Roma.

Villareal 3 Mallorca 0-back to their usual stylish wins.Forlan is back as well
Cadiz 1 Athletic 0-really weak at their travels...useless la
Celta 1 Espanyol 0-we ain't going to budge anytime soon.that might well be their message for the next few weeks
Sociedad 2 Deportivo 0-not quite expected,but at least the Basques need to redeem themselves
Racing 0 Atletico 1-since the Madrid Derby is a one off freak accident,Racing becomes the next victim of El Nino
Real Madrid 1 Valencia 2-I hit Villa scoring.the rest are all misses.and I didn't even believe Gravesen and Becks are given early showers as well.definitely pissed
Malaga 5 Betis 0-Llorenc Ferrer loses the plot once again.conceding 9 goals in 2 games is just not on
Getafe 5 Zaragoza 2-not a one season wonder,not just a 1 month phenomenon.surely not 1 week of power.should they become champs Ladbrokes will register for bankruptcy protection

PSV 1 Ajax 0-Timmy Simons penalty falls exactly within my predictions
Club Brugge 2 Anderlecht 2-catch up and no lackluster

Edinburgh Gunners 32 London Wasps 31-got stung on this one.but not quite a letdown.events in Vienna and Madrid,though,pisses me off more than rugby losses.you know who I mean
Ospreys 13 Stade Francais 8-another Italian style shit.lost this one as well
Saracens 22 Biarritz 10-this turns out to be a hattrick of losses.the French flops this European Cup weekend=the Italian toots last midweek at Munich,Porto,Milan and Udine(figure out which games)

European Challenge Cup(not given but at least here's something I can crap about)
Worcestor Warriors 36 Montpellier 18
Newcastle Falcons 51 Brive 19-Jonny Wilkinson's back with a BANG!
