What happened over the week end? 2/7/2011.

Well, in England, Manchester United still rule the table with a four point lead over second place Arsenal. Manchester City sit a point behind them with 49 points. Chelsea and Tottenham are level at 44 points while Liverpool in sixth have made up a little ground having defeated the Blue's 1-0 on Sunday. It would appear that Torres might not have made the right decision in his move to London! The Liverpool crowd was not happy about his move either though, with one banner saying "He who betrays will always walk alone." Up north in Scotland, Celtic still hold the table, but precariously, as Rangers have two games in hand. The two parts of the Old Firm actually played an action packed game in the Scottish Cup which ended in stalemate, 3-3. Over in the Netherlands, PSVand Twente are actually level with 47 points each following PSV's loss to Den Haag 1-0 on Saturday. Ajax sit only three points behind them though, with Groningen right on their heels at 43 points in fourth place. Over in the German Bundesliga, Dortmund still reign supreme with a 12 point lead over their closest opposition, Leverkusen. Mainz and Hannover sit with 37 points each while Bayern occupy fifth with a point behind. To France now where Lille have strengthened their position at the top to five points between themselves and PSG and Rennes. A point behind those two sits Marseille with 36 points while St. Etienne and Lyon each have 35 points. Moving on to Spain, Barcelona maintain dominance of the league with a valuable seven points dividing themselves and closest rivals Real Madrid after a weekend in which both parties won their games. After the Big Two though, the table gets closer with Villarreal and Valencia at 45 and 44 points respectively. Over the border in Portugal, Porto are on 52 points while Benfica have 42. Sporting are ten points behind their city rivals, a fact which undoubtedly infuriates the supporters of the Lions to no end. Finally, in Italy, Milan still lead the domestic show with 49 points while Napoli have 46. Inter have taken back one place though, sitting two points behind Napoli after Lazio tied Chievo and they beat Roma. Another interesting event of the weekend: Ronaldinho scored his first goal back in Brazil! He converted a penalty in Flamengo's state championship match against Boavista which helped to put his side through. Also, Pumas of Mexico have yet to be defeated in their league so congrats to them!
