Robbie has so much faith in his team that after 11 hours and thirty minutes of pounding the astroturf at MediaCityUK he's decided to grab 40 winks. Someone wake him up though, there's only 30 minutes to go!

McFly my prettiespublished at 20:36
Trailing by two goals, Savage's team really need to up their game. Perhaps popstar Danny Jones will help them McFly? (Cringe!)
Another contender for best goal?published at 20:35
Foot like a traction engine
Bosh! Move over Beckham, Adam, Rooney, Alonso, Figueroa, Suarez. Watch this howitzer from his own half. It could do with some Partridge commentary...
Media caption,
How about this for a first time shot from the half way line?

Shearer 5s 110 - 111 Savage 5s
Shearer's team of ex-pros have scored 11 goals in just over half an hour. Class, skill and deft footwork all in evidence on the astroturf.
Don't take my word for it, why not press the play button at the top of this page.
Contenders for best goalpublished at 20:25
A selection of the best goals scored over the three days of 'Battle of the Five-a-Sides' will be assessed by Alan Shearer and Robbie Savage after the final whistle blows on Saturday evening. Their favourite will be broadcast on MOTD2 on Sunday night. Will young Nathan's emphatic volley make the list?
Media caption,
This youngster shows the professionals how to score an emphatic volley.
What happened next?...published at 20:25
Well unfortunately for Question of Sport, their team conceded 10 goals, which now means Team Savage and Team Shearer are neck and neck. Where are Barker, Tuffers and Daws when you need them?

One hour to go Robbiepublished at 20:15
So after 11 hours of his marathon stint, Robbie only has one hour to go. He and his team could do with a quick pick me up though, as his fifteen goal lead has been reduced to just three. Whose got the energy drinks?

McFly singer and Bolton fan Danny Jones will start his 12 hour endurance shift at 8.30pm. The Trotters have just tweeted their support...

Shearer 5s 105 - 108 Savage 5spublished at 20:04 GMT 3 March 2016
Team Shearer have managed to close the gap to just three goals thanks to a hat-trick from former Leeds left-back Ian Harte. He always did have an eye for goal, a stalwart in many a fantasy football XI back in the early 2000s.

Hart to Hartepublished at 19:51 GMT 3 March 2016
Trailing by eight goals, Shearer has drafted in some ex-pros to get him back in the game. Earlier Joe Hart was in situ to lend his support, now it's Leeds legend Ian Harte who has scored a belter with his right foot to open the scoring.
Only seven goals behind now Al.
