RESURRECT ME FROM THE ASH AND EARTH
You Know Your Boston Rock FC stand proudly at the top of the table, 3 points ahead of the chasing pack as the only team with a 100% winning record still intact. New signing Stephen Carr chipped in with a debut goal as “The Sky Heroes” beat Mega Bucks 3-0 to keep their winning streak going.
As for the other 2 previous 100%ers – “His Nibs” put paid to the old man’s winning start, as Fred West beat Claymore Athletic FC by the same scoreline, with Freddie Ljungberg on the mark for Fred’s team in the win over Claymore, who drop to 2nd. And Thommo’s Titans’ winning streak was well and truly put to the sword, a resurgent Trusted By Millions taking their 100% record with a 5-0 thrashing, featuring a debut goal for Luis Garcia. This result moved Trusted above Thommo’s into 3rd, and earned Beef the POTW £100,000. Well done chap!
The 22 Legged Groove Machine, ironically, were the first beneficiaries of Mr. Timms’ new penalty save rule, with Shaka Hislop earning a goal for his penno stop. However, it wasn’t enough to beat Final Fantasy XI, Ceri’s team running out 4-2 winners to move to 4th in the table. The other Bevan got his stuttering season back on the rails with a 2-0 win for Aardvark Abacus over the Dead Parrots, a change of name so far not providing a change of fortune for Deano.
Elsewhere, Real Muppets secured their first win over the season, thanks to a Mark Viduka double giving them a 2-1 win over pointless York’s, who sink to the bottom of the table as a result. Also still awaiting their first win are Nil Satis, who lost 2-1 to Kylie, and Prettier Than You, who drew 0-0 with San Dimas. It’s still early days yet, though, as I need to keep reminding myself…

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
And in a similar vein to the last newsletter question; Serie A Club Fiorentina famously had to withdraw their away kit during the 90’s, as what was noticed in the shirt design?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 18 September 2004. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
The Crystal Palace club shop received a consignment of replica shirts in the Summer, with their name spelt “Chrystal Palace” on the badges. Apparently they became instant collectors items and sold out.
Correct answers from Rachel, Peter, Peej, Dean (who suggested they spelt it “Pisspoor Palace”) and Dave (who suggested “Cristal Pallace”). Prettier Than You was the first name out of the hat, so the rollover two hundred grand goes to Rachel. Well done girl, and thanks to every other correct guesser.
An incorrect guess from Clive – Middlesbrough? Middlesborough? Either way, wrong!
