CA PLANE POUR MOI, MOI, MOI ,MOI, MOI
Tonight, I love the French. J’adore les Francais! Especially Thierry Henry, whose 2 goals for Claymore Athletic FC gave them a decisive 3-2 victory over title chasing Aardvark Abacus, ending the Abacus’ 9 game winning run in the league and also earning Clive the POTW £100,000. Bravo, Monsieur Fenwick!
I’ve still got to keep my own house in order, and this weekend You Know Your Boston Rock FC finally got back on the league winning trail, recording their first win in 3 games with a 3-1 win over San Dimas High School. San Dimas boss Peej looked for the nails to drive into Sheriff’s Championship coffin, but the only nailing going on was courtesy of Jermain Defoe, the Boston Rock top scorer nailing a couple past Sorensen in the San Dimas goal to put “the Sky Heroes” six points clear at the top.
Third, 10 points back from the Abacus, sit Claymore, but they still have Fred West only one point behind in 4th following a 3-1 win over the Dead Parrots. A Julian Gray strike, a De Zeeuw own goal and a Vieira tap-in were Fred’s goals, Fred moving 5 points clear of Boston Rock’s victims San Dimas as a result.
It’s all chop and change at the bottom, though – Mega Bucks are back off the bottom after they scored a crucial 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Prettier Than You, thanks to Clapham, a debut Ryan Nelson goal and a Richard Dunne OG. Kylie also won, a Michael Reiziger strike being enough to sink Thommo’s Titans and suck them into the bottom bunfight. So back to bottom slot go Nil Satis, who lost 1-0 to Trusted By Millions. However with only 4 points separating the bottom 6, it could be all change again next week…and the week after…
THEY’RE DRIVING ME INSANE, THOSE MEN INSIDE MY BRAIN
You’ve no doubt all heard about Arsenal and Jose Antonio Reyes’ admitting to a Spanish radio commentator, posing as Real Madrid’s Sporting Director Emilio Butragueno, that he’s unsettled at Arsenal and he’d love to join Real. Arsene Wenger was quoted as saying that Reyes was “the victim of a Cheap Trick”, which got me wondering how the conversation really went. Maybe something like this;
Reyes: I hear “Voices”
Commentator: It’s Emilio. “I Want You To Want Me”, Jose!
Reyes: I “Surrender” to your offer! “If You Want My Love”…you’ve got it!
Commentator: Then “Tonight It’s You” at the Bernabau!

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which Premiership ground does florid Radio 5 commentator Stuart Hall refer to as “The Coliseum”?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 19 February 2005. First correct answer out of the metaphorical hat wins the dosh.
Well travelled former England international “Sir” Les Ferdinand, currently plying his trade for Reading, was the bloodied debutant. To mark his debut on loan to Turkish club Besiktas from QPR, a Besiktas club official sliced a goat’s throat and smeared its’ blood over Ferdinand’s face. Nice people, the Turks.
Correct answers from Ryan, Dean and an infrequent one from Fred! Evan rolled the dice and Fred’s number came up, so FWLGXI are £100,000 richer. Well done Fred!
Incorrect answers from Peej (Kevin Campbell – you’re a bit previous there, WBA haven’t yet been relegated), Ceri (Paul Ince – not a striker!) and Dave (Teddy Sheringham, who at least fitted the bill, but was wrong anyway).
SHORTS
· One of life’s little ironies Dept.; Jame’s Beattie’s interview in Saturday’s Guardian supplement was titled “Bullish Beattie primed to banish Blues”. Well, Beattie was certainly bullish in the game, alright – butting William Gallas like a bull before being banished himself – to an early bath!
