CAN I RIDE THAT SEE-SAW WITH YOU
In a see-saw reverse from the previous week, this weekend’s fixtures saw all the title contenders finding their form again and winning. Aardvark Abacus remain top, following a 3-1 win over last week’s heroes Elland Road Big Boys, but they’ll need to keep winning as Muppets, Claymore, Trusted and San Dimas all found form again, all gaining wins.
York’s are ever more mired at the bottom, following a 0-0 draw with Mega Buck Bandits, as Viola’s beat Fred 3-0, and Nil Satis Nisi Optimum keep up their impressive recent run, beating Prettier Than You 5-0 and winning the Performance of the Week £100,000 in the process. Well done Paul.
I DON’T WANT TO GO TO CHELSEA
I can’t see what’s happening under my own nose dept.: check out this e-mail from Beef; did anyone else pick this interesting fact up, or is Beef really the Steve Davis of Fantasy league?!
“An amazing record was surely set during last weekends fantasy league games - and no, I don’t mean Trusted by Millions record defeat! Forget about the Chelsea six, it was the Chelsea NINE, as that was how many of their players who hit the target last weekend – and Hasselbaink wasn’t even amongst ‘em! All the teams with Chelsea players predictably cruised to victory, apart from, er .... me.”

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Aah, footy/ music crossover questions, I love ‘em!
Which Football League team shared a fanzine title with late 80’s girly pop band Voice of the Beehive?
One entry per person as usual please, to me by close of play on Saturday 30 March 2002.
The Chelsea Six were Skipper Marcel Desailly, Emmanuel Petit, William Gallas, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Graeme Le Saux and Albert Ferrer, and they refused to travel to Israel for their UEFA Cup 2nd leg tie against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel on 1 November 2001, amid fears they would be a target for terrorists after the attacks on America and the military action in Afghanistan. Chelsea lost the game 2-0 and the tie 3-1 on aggregate.
Told you this one was easy. Correct guesses from Ryan (who also amusingly added “Breach of Contract!”), Steve, Rachel, MC, Fred (who stated in a tie breaker he could name the Birmingham Six, Renault Five and possibly some members of KC and the Sunshine Band. Bizarre!) and Dean.
The rollover £200K goes to Mega Buck Bandits, whose number was picked by Rachel (lucky 6!). So MC is £200,000 richer as a result; I dunno, money goes to money, eh! Well done Dave, and thanks to everyone else who entered.
SHORTS
A comment from Dean on Elland Road Big Boys’ performance this season made me chuckle “Strange season I'm having. I think I've won more POTW this season than last, but when I ain’t winning them I'm getting tupped every week!”… Abdelslam Ouaddou (San Dimas) is now a strangely named defender…
