The highest score that we had came from the English Championship where NORWICH won 4-1 away to Millwall. Norwich take their goals total to 73.

In Scotland we had just one of our teams in the WILLIAM HIL CUP Sixth Round and they are CELTIC as they drew 1-1 away to Dundee UTD. Celtic are now on 74 goals.
In the Legaue, RANGERS could not do what Heatrs  did last weekend as they drew 0-0 away to Cowdenbeath to pick up their 6th blank score sheet of the season and they have now scored just four goals in their last six games. DUNFERMLINE won 2-1 at home to Ayr and are now on 52 goals while STENHOUSEMUIR are on 37 as they win 2-1 at home to Peterhead. 
 
THE BEST THREE TEAMS ARE…

THE WORST THREE TEAMS ARE…  

QPR (29) WIGAN (33) EVERTON (36) Total of 98 goals.
 
QPR are still our worst team this weekend even though they picked up one goal in midweek and another goal at the weekend. Rangers have played a total of 30 games and they have picked up a total of eleven blank score sheets to date.
 
We have had two teams that have picked up the highest number of blank score sheets to date. They are READING and WIGAN. Both have picked up a total of 16 blank score sheets each to date.
 
HEARTS have picked up the highest score for this season with a 10-0 home win against Cowdenbeath in the league.
 
Manchester City had that record breaking end of season score of 137 goals last season but that will not be beating it this season. In Week thirty-one last season, City had no game in midweek again and they picked up just one goal at the weekend. That goal was their 104th of the season after thirty-seven games played. They have had four blank score sheet’s and their highest score was seven goals against Norwich in the league.
This season they picked up two goals in midweek, no game at the weekend. So City are now on a total of 68 goals this weekend and they have had a total of four blank score sheet after thirty-one games played. They were clawing back the goals but they are now 36 goals behind last seasons record run. They are at home to Leicester City in midweek and they have no game at the weekend.

There was not much movement in the table this week but here is how the top ten look.
