COME OVER TO MY PLACE, WE’RE SCREAMING BLUE MURDER
As previously announced, the WSFFL Social Evening/ Transfer Window Auction will be held on Monday 3 March round my place, 7.30 p.m. for an 8 p.m. start. For those of you who don’t know where it is, it’s behind the rubble of the old White House pub, 5 minutes walk from the Great Western pub where we held the AGM last Summer. For those of you who are wondering about the choice of venue, well, I’m sorry but I’m still not fit enough yet to venture out very far for very long!
We’ll get some limited snacks in, but bring your own drinkies if you want anything other than tea or coffee. For anyone who is unable to attend, I’ve already sent out a list of all the players to be auctioned off during the evening, so if you wish to bid for anyone, contact either myself or another manager who’s likely to attend, to arrange proxy bidding.
Hope to see as many of you as possible there, I mean here!
I’VE BEEN SPAT ON AND SHAT ON AND RAPED AND ABUSED
Well, hardly that, but I’ve been well and truly turned over this weekend by my “bogey” team, Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Yup, he says, regaining his usual flow, Boston Rock FC were soundly thrashed by Nil Saleh this weekend by a score of 7-1, with double strikes from Dyer and Johansson amongst the goals, earning Paul’s team this emphatic win and the POTW £100,000, so well done to him.
This means that with their 2-1 win over Mega Buck Bandits, Kylie Bumcheeks move 5 points clear at the top, and Aardvark Abacus, 2-0 winners over Short Straw Rovers, go into second on goal difference from the “Sky Heroes”. Claymore stay 4th after squeaking a 1-0 win over Real Muppets thanks to a Thierry Henry strike, and Trusted stay 5th after a fine 5-3 win over San Dimas.
At the bottom, Violas lose again, his time by 3-0 to Prettier Than You, and still haven’t gotten into points double figures yet! Short Straw and San Dimas both lost to big guns this weekend and stay near the bottom, whilst the Groove Machine, 3-1 winners over Elland Road, move up 1 to 12th position, with Fred West, defeated 2-1 by Yorks’, dropping to 13th spot.
TRANSFER NEWS
Player From To Fee
Emerson Thome (D) 22 Legged Groove Machine Pool £250,000

Don’t forget that the players highlighted are subject to the pool “cooling off” period. Any managers interested in buying them can bid until 8 p.m. on Monday 3 March 2003, after which time they go into the pool proper and are readily available.
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which current Premiership player is married to an Emmerdale barmaid?
One guess per person to me by close of play on Saturday 1 March 2003.
Faustino Asprilla nearly joined Darlington. Apparently it was all as good as signed, sealed and delivered (he even went on to the pitch at Feethams brandishing a Darlo shirt), but then did a runner. The tabloid angle on this was that £17,000 per week and a free flat wasn’t enough for the poor lad to make ends meet, up in posh old Darlington, but a more pertinent story is that he knew his knee was shot, and he did a bunk before they asked him to do a medical.
Correct guesses from Peej, Rich Smith, Ady, Beef, Clive and Dave (told you it was easy).
The “Willy Shakey” nameband was drawn out of the yellow bag by Rachel, so the £100,000 goes to Peej’s team, currently named San Dimas High School, of course. Well done again Peej!
SHORTS
· Recats; Kylie Bumcheeks’ El Hadji Djouf is now a midfielder…
· Aardvark Abacus boss Ady Bevan would like it known that his forward Dwight Yorke is on the transfer list. A player-exchange offer for a playing midfielder is Ady’s preference – any enquiries direct to Ady
· Following this theme, 22 Legged Grooove Machine boss Rich Timms would like it known that Stuart Parnaby is up for grabs. Rich is looking for a swap deal only with another regularly playing defender, but not one from B’rum, (got 2 already) West Brom, West Ham or Sunderland, as he reckons they’re Nationwide bound! Enquiries to Rich …
· I shouldn’t need to remind you of this, but this weekend’s Worthington Cup Final between Liverpool and Manchester United, as in previous years, does count towards this weekend’s Fantasy League fixtures, but for the 90 minutes (plus stoppage time) only. Extra time does not count (nor do penalties, Ady-lad!).
