[WingsForDinner]

Welcome to the third edition of the weekly roundup!

*Post Reserved For Roundup Results*

Just as a Note, I haven't compiled the list yet, so the roundup will be completed later today, with spaces for the Sunday games. So, at the moment, this topic is simply a placeholder for the Weekly Roundup, and a Chance for me to say sorry about missing last week's roundup thread!

[WingsForDinner]

Saturday's scores are posted, with Sunday's games still to be played.

Bolton got a much needed win today and moved up to 14th for the moment, though I'm not so sure about their chances next week against Everton. Fernando Torres played incredibly today for Liverpool, to give them their 4-1 win, and the rest of the matches were fairly predictable.

Hopefully tomorrow's batch will be a bit better!

[bedir than average]

There's some great footie scheduled over the next two weeks, and most of it in the EPL and the BL takes their 5-6 weeks off for winter.

Also nice to see Dempsey get a goal.

[WingsForDinner]

Aye, there's a great deal of good matches coming up in the EPL over the next little while (though not so much for Bolton...though, the Everton match should be a very good one!). It'd be nice to see some movement in the top 4, though that's not looking very likely. It is refreshing to see a new face breaking the usual group of 4, though, so no complaints on that regard (minus the fact that it's not Bolton)!

Sunday's scores are up (finally!), and it's a real shame to see Derby couldn't hold on for that win. They deserved it, but they're just not Premier League quality, it seems. Shame.

[bedir than average]

They tripled their away goal totals and got a tie, that's significant for them.

[WingsForDinner]

Well, that's true, they did get their goals after all, and a much needed point. Still would've been nice to see them beat Newcastle, though
