2004/2005 - Newsletter 26 (25 April 2005)

BIG BLACK NEMESIS, PARTHENOGENESIS

Only 3 points separate the top 3 going into the last 2 games of the season, as You Know Your Boston Rock’s season continues to fall apart at the seams. This weekend Nemeth was the Nemesis – the former Boston Rock striker struck twice against his old club to earn a win for the 22 Legged Groove Machine. This followed a 1-0 midweek defeat for “The Sky Heroes” by Trusted By Millions, courtesy of a Luis Garcia goal.

So, 2 points back from Boston Rock sit Aardvark Abacus, following a midweek draw with Real Muppets and a weekend win over Kylie. Claymore are a further point back in third – a 1-0 defeat by bottom club Nil Satis, courtesy of sub Duncan Ferguson, dented Claymore’s hopes, but they bounced back big-style, crushing Thommo’s Titans 6-1 at the weekend.

So, it’s one of these 3 for the title. Boston Rock face Fred West LGXI and Mega Buck Bandits in their final 2 fixtures; Aardvark have Prettier Than You and The Dead Parrots; and Claymore also tackle Mega Bucks and Fred West! It’s wide open!

Elsewhere, two 3-1 away wins on the trot propel San Dimas High School to 4th place, Peej’s team hitting form just in time for next week’s FA Cup Final. Two wins for the Dead Parrots see them up to 7th slot. At the bottom, Kylie lost twice and are now rooted to the bottom, two points adrift of Nil Satis, and a further 2 behind Mega Bucks, who lost to Thommos and to the missus, Final Fantasy XI winning 2-1 in the “married” Bevan Derby this weekend.

POTW £100,000 awards go to Nil Satis for their midweek “Toffee Derby” win over title contenders Claymore Athletic FC, and to Birthday Boy Rich Timms, for the Groove Machine’s victory over stuttering Boston Rock FC. Well done to both.

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION

Which team recently used 3 goalies in a Football League game but still lost 6-1?

Answers to me by close of play Saturday 30 April 2005. First correct answer out of the metaphorical hat wins the dosh.

Ronaldinho swapped shirts with Chelsea and Boston Rock’s Paulo Ferreira at half time in their Champion’s League Second-Leg tie. Good thing too – the only thing he was swapping at full time was insults and girly shoves with the Chelsea stewards.

One correct answer only, from Peej, so San Dimas scoops the £100,000. Well done Peej.

BTW Bolton’s mascot Lofty the Lion named after the Trotters’ most famous son, England great Nat Lofthouse. He’s a lion because Lofthouse was nicknamed “The Lion of Vienna” after a particularly heroic performance for England against Austria (who were a good team once). Thanks to Peej who also guessed that one right. “Lion of Vienna”? I think I prefer Sheriff…
