JUST ONE OF THE LUCKY FEW
Trusted By Millions, 22 Legged Groove Machine and Mega Buck Bandits are all through to contest the WSFFL FA Cup Semi Finals, and either Aardvark Abacus or Real Muppets will join them. Last weekend, the Groove Machine overcame Yorks, and Mega Bucks beat a shot-shy Boston Rock to win through, with Mega Bucks picking up the POTW £100,000 in the process. They were joined this weekend by Trusted, who knocked out Elland Road in their re-arranged match, whilst Aardvark and the Muppets drew 2-2 on both weekends to take their tie to a 2nd replay, which will be this weekend, doubled up with the league fixtures. Hurry up and settle this, boys, I want to do the Semi-Final Draw!
I GOT A HORSE OUT IN THE COUNTRY
Claymore Athletic FC return to the top of the WSFFL table, following a 3-1 win over Fred West. On target for Clive were the ubiquitous Thierry Henry, and Clives trusty “Steed”, Malbranque that is, whilst Fred’s goal came from his own nag, Van Nistelhorse. Aardvark Abacus slip to 2nd, after being held to a 2-2 draw by Elland Road Big Boys, and San Dimas consolidate in 3rd with a 4-2 win over bottom team Prettier Than You, Rachel’s Darius Vassell finally finding his shooting boots but all in vain.
In 4th , just one point behind the High School, is the Groove Machine, who won his shootout with Final Fantasy XI 3-1 thanks to Saha and Job goals. This performance gives the Big Man the POTW £100,000 for this week, so well done Dick. Final Fantasy slip to 7th as a result, as up to 5th comes none other than Boston Rock FC, who gained revenge over Mega Bucks for knocking them out of the FA Cup the previous weekend, thanks to a Frank Lampard double. Trusted continue their recent upward surge with a 3-2 win over Thommo’s Titans – it’s all getting a bit interesting in mid-table right now…

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
And, following tenuously on from last week…
Which trumpet-playing South American midfielder was signed by Kenny Dalglish for the precise sum of £2,763,958?
Guesses by close of play on Saturday 7 February 2004. First correct one out of the hat after that date gets the dosh!
Fulham’s Zatyiah Knight was bought by Kevin Keegan for 30 tracksuits, during Keegan’s tenure as Fulham boss, from Knight’s Non-League side Rushall Olympic.
No correct guesses, so this is a rollover! One wrong ‘un from Ceri, who went for Aaron Hughes, but no-one else bothered!
SHORTS
· A 3-way tie for January Manager of the Month! No team went through the opening month of 2004 unbeaten, so step forward Rich Timms of the 22 Legged Groove Machine, Andy Perfitt of Trusted By Millions, and, er, myself, David Rose of You Know Your Boston Rock FC. All 3 of these teams won 4 out of their 5 games this month, so £250,000 goes to each of these fine fine managers. And to Beef.
