OH GODDAMMIT, I THINK I’VE LOST IT
All 100% records were lost this weekend, as the top 2 teams were both held to draws, and the 3rd placed team lost! Champs and leaders Kylie Bumcheeks needed a late late James Beattie equaliser to snatch a draw against their bogey side Bostron Rock FC, whom they’ve still failed to beat in the league (3 draws and 2 defeats to the “Sky Heroes” since Rich Smith took over at the Bumcheeks); Aardvark Abacus were held by their former groundshare tenants 22 Legged Groove Machine, with a ridiculous Lauren own goal the highlight of this 2-2 draw; and San Dimas lost at the hands of newcomers Thommo’s Titans, with Jody Craddock getting the decisive strike in this game.
Kylie and Aardvark still lead the way, but they’re now joined on 7 points by fast-starting York’s Returning Glory, who beat Claymore 2-0 thanks to a Fish and a dead snake. There were also debut wins for Final Fantasy XI, who beat Elland Road 2-1 to leave them rooted to the bottom, and also Mega Buck Bandits, whose 4-1 demolition of Nil Satis was deemed the Performance of the Week, landing Mr. Bevan senior a cool £100,000. It’s true, money goes to money….
TRANSFER NEWS
Some big money splashed out this week, and more to come, as a number of deadline day transfers become eligible for 48-hour rule bids in the next round of Premiership (and Fantasy) games!
Player From To Fee
Jonathan Fortune (D) Pool Final Fantasy XI £500K

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 1 September 2003, after which time they go into the pool proper and are readily available. All bids to me please.
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which Football League Manager was recently sent from the dugout for kicking the ball while it was still in play?
Guesses by close of play on Saturday 6 September 2003. First correct one out of the hat after that date gets the dosh!
The Scottish League Team who went bust were Third Lanark. An appalling example of mismanagement, apparently. Take heed, Swindon Town.
One correct guess from Clive, so Claymore are £100,000 richer. Only £21.5 million of that Crespo outlay to recoup now, Clive-lad.
A wrong ‘un from Ceri, who guessed Cumbernauld “because this is the only place I could think of in Scotland that doesn't have a team” – wot???
