MONDAY COMES, KICKING THE FLOOR AND INSULTING THE DOOR
I’ve postponed this weekend’s WSFFL League Fixtures, as there’s not a full Premiership fixture list over Good Friday and Easter Saturday. Therefore WSFFL Week 27 games will now be played over 11-13 April, i.e. Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and Tuesday, as these Premiership games do constitute a full Premiership fixture list.
Only one game takes place on Easter Sunday, i.e. Newcastle v Arsenal at 4.05 p.m. As usual, you do not have to report in your full team line-up before the start of this first counting game of Week 27. You do, however, have to report to me any team changes affecting players in your squad who are playing in this early game (including players who you don’t want to play), before this game starts. You can report in the rest of your team before the Monday fixtures start. OK? Any queries please stay behind after class and see me!
AND I GET OVER THE BRAKES, AND I STUMBLE AND FALL
Claymore Athletic FC picked a hell of a time to start stumbling in the title chase. Following last week’s banana skin thrashing by bottom club Prettier Than You, Claymore shipped another 5goals this weekend, losing 5-1 to reigning champions Kylie Bumcheeks. Kylie’s feared but recently slumbering strikeforce of Shearer and Beattie punished the stuttering Claymore and gained Rich Smith the POTW £100,000, so well done Rich!
This time around, Clive’s slip-up was costly – 2nd placed Aardvark Abacus duly beat Thommo’s Titans 3-0 with Scholes and Hasselbaink chipping in with goals for Ady, and move to within 4 points of the top. Similarly, 3rd placed Groove Machine closed to within 4 points of the lead after a hard-fought 2-1 win over San Dimas, Melchiot and Ehiogu getting the vital strikes for the Big Man in an impressive defensive display. Trusted stay in the title hunt in 4th following a 6-0 hammering of Elland Road Big Boys which ends Deano’s realistic title chances, and would have won Beef the POTW, had it not been for the Bumcheeks’, erm, display.
At the bottom, Rachel lost the girly pillowfight 3-2 to Ceri’s Final Fantasy XI, to leave Prettier Than You bottom by 2 points. Both Nil Satis and York’s Returning Glory drew this weekend, against Fred and Boston Rock respectively, to inch away from that bottom slot. It’s not over yet though; still all to play for at the bottom, as well as the top!
TRANSFER NEWS
Player From To Fee
Simon Royce (G) Prettier Than You Pool £750k
Marco Ambrosio (G) Pool Prettier Than You £500k
Don’t forget that the players highlighted are now subject to the pool “cooling off” period. Any managers interested in buying them can bid until close of play Saturday 10 April 2004, after which time they go into the pool proper and are readily available. All bids to me please.
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Wayne Bridge and James Beattie share a secret hobby. What?
Guesses by close of play on Saturday 10 April 2004. First correct one out of the hat after that date gets the dosh.
The Premiership Striker demonstrating an Englishman’s right to defend his castle, and therefore beat up intruders, is in fact Scottish forward, Everton and Nil Satis’ Duncan Ferguson. No surprise there, given his recent sending off and subsequent fracas in Everton’s game against Leicester – Clive suggested Big Dunc may have mistaken Leicester’s Steffen Freund for an intruder!
I got correct guesses from Clive (again), Peej, Ceri and Dave. Final Fantasy XI won the £100,000, so well done to Ceri and thanks to the boys for their guesses.
SHORTS
- “Can we play you every week…” Department; amazingly, bottom club Prettier Than You’s victory over Claymore Athletic FC last week was Rachel’s sixth WSFFL league win in a row over Clive, making it a treble of doubles for PTY! In the process, Rach has banged 22 goals past the Clivester (an average of nearly four per game) conceding a mere 8 in return. Nearly as bad as Spurs’ recent Prem record against Chelsea!
