Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Oldham Athletic (guess who scored again)
Chelsea FC 0-0 Nottingham Forest (shite)
Coventry City 1-1 Norwich City
Crystal Palace 1-2 Southampton FC (comedy goalkeeping from Nigel Martyn. WARNING: very low resolution Iain Dowie)
Ipswich Town 0-0 Sheffield United (Ipswich's keeper with a 2nd minute red card for Serious Foul Play, which carries a more serious punishment. Plus about 80 other bookings)
Leeds United 2-0 Everton FC (2Easy, the season starts here)
Liverpool FC 2-3 Wimbledon FC (More like Lobbie Earle)
Manchester United 0-0 Queens Park Rangers (shite)
Middlesbrough FC 2-3 Aston Villa (Villa's 3rd is an absolute beaut)

EUROPE WATCH

Absolute scenes in the Champions League this week! Leeds gave Stuttgart an absolute battering at Elland Road, scoring 4 but crucially conceding 1, meaning Stuttgart went through on away goals.

But!

After a quick read of UEFA's foreign player rules, it turns out that by bringing on Serbian defender Jovica Simanic for the last 5 minutes, Stuttgart accidentally fielded 4 foreign players instead of the allotted 3. UEFA have declared the result null and void and awarded a 3-0 win to Leeds, meaning the two teams are still level - they're playing a tie-breaker in Barcelona on the 9th to decide who goes through. Massive!

Also Man United went out on pens to Torpedo Moscow and Sheff Wed got beat by Spora Luxemburg but went through on aggregate. Who cares. God bless Jovica Simanic and Stuttgart's inability to count to 3

With Dublin out, United really should get some sort of striker in. There something missing, a certain je ne sais quoi.

Wimbledon FC 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur


Really bad tempered stuff in that Spurs-Wimbledon game. Through the magic of 1992 internet and finding out my work has unlimited access to the british newspaper archive I've managed to upload the headlines from Monday:



EUROPE WATCH

Leeds won their replay against Stuttgart. Course they did. No bother. Carl Shutt is God. Unfortunately they then got a police-worrying tie against Rangers in the second round. First leg went badly.



Sheffield Wednesday lost 3-1 against Kaiserslautern, need a miracle in the second leg at Hillsborough.

ENGLAND WATCH

World Cup qualifiers got off to a rough start, drawing 1-1 with Norway at Wembley.

Good news! Some massive transfer rumours in the papers. Not sure about Leeds's entire midfield signing for Stuttgart but stranger things have happened.









No matches til the 21st - we have an international break and England are playing Turkey in a World Cup qualifier on the 18th. Here's the squad:
