DECISIONS DECISIONS, IT’S ALWAYS A SIGN
Thanks to those managers who appealed their players categorisations under the Recat Review process. As a result, the Executive Committee of Ady, Rich Timms and Paul Saleh, plus myself in my co-ordinator capacity and Peej in his capacity as recat guru, will hold a Recat Review Board tomorrow night, and review the 8 players in question. I’ll e-mail all managers tomorrow night with our verdicts, and any positional changes will take effect from this forthcoming weekend’s games (Week 19, 22 January 2005). Watch this space!
I’LL GET YOU GET YOU GET YOU GET YOU GET YOU BACK
Hmmm, a Darling Buds lyric… nevertheless an appropriate one, as You Know Your Boston Rock FC gained some recompense for the one blemish on their league record to date, by beating Final Fantasy XI, the only team to beat them in the league this season, by a convincing 6-2. A double from Frank Lampard powered “the Sky Heroes” to victory over Ceri’s “Robins”, although I rather wish I’d selected Liam Ridgewell as well…
Boston Rock stay 8 points clear at the top, as Aardvark Abacus keep on winning as well – this week they disposed of Nil Satis by 3-0, with Nobby Solano amongst the goals again. Ady has now moved 9 points clear of Fred West in 3rd, as the Landscape Gardeners were beaten 3-1 by Thommo’s Titans. A Shaun Wright-Phillips double and a deft finish from Boudewijn Zenden secured victory for Thommo and earned him the POTW £100,000 for the second week in succession – well done again Pete!
Claymore stay 4th with a crucial 2-1 win over the closing Trusted By Millions, who slip to 6th as a result. San Dimas High School, 2-0 winners over Real Muppets, move up to 5th. Also moving in the right direction are the Groove Machine, 2-0 winners over Mega Buck Bandits and back up to 7th.
At the bottom, Thommo’s win lifts him from 15th to 12th place. Also winners were Prettier Than You, whose 2-1 win over York’s Returning Glory ended their recent fine run – just as Julian had started dreaming of a European slot! Rachel stays bottom, but is now only one point behind the 15th placed team, who surprisingly is now Kylie Bumcheeks. They lost 3-1 to the Dead Parrots, despite a goal from the returning Alan Shearer, and the champions of 2002/03 now find themselves in real danger of finishing bottom in 2004/05! Ouchie!
OH LITTLE BROTHER, WE ARE IN A MESS
Yup, it’s another Bevan derby… in the FA Cup First Round replays, Aardvark Abacus disposed of Trusted By Millions 3-1, and set up an intriguing Quarter Final clash with big brother Dave, who, let’s not forget, won the last Bevan brothers’ derby! And they’re playing each other in the league next week as well!
Also through is the 22 Legged Groove Machine, 2-1 winners over Prettier Than You, They meet Boston Rock FC, who put them out of the PCMT earlier this season, and the Big Man no doubt has revenge on his mind…

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
A guest question this week from Claymore Athletic FC boss Clive.
Which football manager recently lost his job because he preferred to watch his beloved Chelsea every week, meaning he was only available for his team’s matchdays if they did not coincide with Chelsea games?
Answers directly to Cliveby close of play Saturday 22 January 2005. First correct answer out of the metaphorical hat wins the dosh. Unless no-one gets it, in which case Claymore get the cash!
Craig Bellamy’s forearm tattoo says “Cameron”, which is one of the 2 children he has with wife Claire. It’s very nice and fatherly and all, but I’m wondering where he’s got kid 2’s name tattooed…
Tattoos on forearms. Hmmm. Bit silly really. Wouldn’t catch me doing that…
Anyway, correct guesses from Rachel, Rich, and Clive, who also alleges Bellers has an “Everton” tattoo as well!
Prettier Than you came out of the hat first, so the hundred grand goes to Rachel. Well done her!
Ryan backed up the Everton tattoo allegation but didn’t know about the forearm tattoo, so didn’t get included in the above draw.
