THREE MILES TO GO…
Only 3 Fantasy League weekends of the season to go, and the title is now realistically down to a 2 horse race; Aardvark Abacus versus Real Muppets, and the game between these 2 protagonists on Week 29 now assumes huge significance. Both Aardvark and the Muppets won handsomely at the weekend, 6-2 against the Groove Machine and 5-1 against Boston Rock respectively, to remain 2 points apart at the top. Hasselbaink was the 2-goal hero for Ady, whilst Ryan’s inspired substitution of Fredi Bobic paid dividends, as the German blasted a hat-trick to sink the Sky Heroes.
Claymore’s 1-0 defeat against Elland Road Big Boys, a result which earns Dean yet another Performance Of The Week £100,000, means Clive has only the slimmest mathematical chance of taking a title it seemed he’d win at a canter earlier this season. Indeed, San Dimas High School, once again finding some league form and beating Short Straw 1-0 thanks to a Freddie Kanoute goal (a few Freds scoring this weekend – perhaps then we shouldn’t ask young Mr. Jarvey about his marital successes this weekend!) go above Claymore into 3rd, although San Dimas also only have outrageous maths to pin their title hopes on.
At the bottom, Yorks win for the second week in succession, beating wooden spoon rivals Nil Satis 3-0 to move within 2 points of Paul Saleh’s underachievers. Tight at the bottom as well! Elsewhere, Kylie and Violas battle out a 1-1 draw, Fred totally buries any outside chances Beef had of retaining his title by beating Trusted 3-2, and Mega Bucks pick up a rare win, 3-0 against Prettier Than You.
TRANSFER NEWS
None!
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
This question is shoo-perb! Clive, for obvious reasons you’re not allowed to enter this one…
During his early playing days, which current First Division club sent a talent scout to look at a promising youngster, named Clive Fenwick?
One entry per person as usual please, to me by close of play on Saturday 14 April 2002.
“Brian Moore’s Head Looks Uncannily Like London Planetarium” was Gillingham’s fanzine, and took its title due to the late Brian Moore being a Gills fan. The quote comes from a song performed by Half Man Half Biscuit, who are solid Tranmere Rovers supporters. In fact, certain of us will no doubt recall a top gig from Da Biscuit at Swindon’s Monkey Club some years back, on the Saturday evening after Tranmere had beaten Swindon Town at the County Ground thanks to a couple of John Aldridge goals. A wag from the crowd at the gig (not me, honestly!) shouted out “Aldridge is a Wanker!”, to which Biscuit vocalist Nigel Blackwell replied “No he’s not! Well, he probably is, actually,” to cheers.
Correct guesses from Dean and Peej (who both also nailed HMHB andTRFC), MC (who thought the band was either HMHB or Sultans of Ping FC, but was way off with who they support) and Ady. But the hundred grand goes to Mega Bucks, first out of the hat. Well done MC.
SHORTS
A couple of apologeez! from your harassed co-ordinator; firstly to Dave and Ceri, who prior to this weekend kept giving me correct quiz answers when we’re out on the social round, and I promptly suck 10 bottles of Blue WKD down my neck and forget about them! Sorry guys, but hey, you were successful this week! … also apologies to Peej for crediting Sylvain Dustbin with his counting clean sheet for the April 1st games – it should have been John Terry…
