BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS REALLY DON’T MATTER
Spare a thought for Mega Buck Bandits this week. After previously only scoring a measly 6 goals in 13 league games this season, they go and score 4 this weekend, only to lose! Up against a rampant, Bevan-dodging, Claymore Athletic FC, Dave’s team lost a 10 goal thriller by 6-4, a Matthias Svensson double proving insufficient in the face of Claymore’s onslaught, led by the inevitable Thierry Henry with a brace of his own. So for hitting six, it’s Claymore who win the POTW £100,000. Well done Clive!
Claymore move back up to 3rd as a result of both this win and leaders You Know Your Boston Rock’s defeat of previous 3rd place incumbent Fred West by 2-0, thanks to goals from Smith and King. “The Sky Heroes” remain 8 points clear of Aardvark Abacus, 1-0 winners over Prettier Than You this weekend thanks to a deft Eidur Gudjohnsen header, with Claymore 2 points further back.
Up to 5th and 6th go Trusted By Millions and San Dimas High School, who both scored impressive wins against recently in-form sides, which moved them above their weekend opponents. Trusted overcame the 22 Legged Groove Machine 4-3, and San Dimas beat the Dead Parrots 3-2, a late Bouba Diop screamer a mere consolation for the recently unbeaten Parrots.
Nil Satis remain rooted to the bottom following a 2-0 defeat by in-form Yorks Returning Glory (no POTW for you this time though, Julian!). They’re one point below Mega Bucks and a further 2 points back off Prettier Than You; these 3 are starting to be cut adrift at the bottom…

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
A Swiss First Division player was recently left without what, after catching it on a perimeter fence whilst celebrating a goal?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 18 December 2004. First correct answer out of the metaphorical hat wins the dosh.
James Beattie reportedly put his head in a bowl of muffins as some sort of macho gesture, after being confronted by another group of drinkers on a night out in Bar Med in Bournemouth. He then reportedly said “do you want some?”, according to bar staff (some aggro, I believe, rather than muffins). Glasses were smashed, the police were called, and Beattie’s group then received a warning before heading off to a lap dancing bar (stylish bloke that he is). Beattie has since apologised, apparently he was “abused for no reason” and reacted. Understandable, of course - when I’m confronted in a bar I always look for the nearest bowl of baked products. Don’t we all?
There were correct answers, from Clive and Dean. Flipping the coin won Claymore the £100,000 cash, so a profitable week all round for Clive-lad!
