TELLING ME THE SAME OLD STORY
Following convincing results in the semi finals, the 2005/06 Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy Final will be between Aardvark Abacus and Trusted By Millions, two traditional trophy-accumulating powerhouses of the WSFFL game. Aardvark are former PCMT winners in 1996/97, but this will be the first time that Trusted have been in a PCMT Final. However these 2 teams contested the 2002/03 and 2003/04 FA Cup Finals, winning one apiece. Best of 3 falls then, lads?
Trusted reinforced their superb start to the season by ending PCMT double-holders Boston Rock’s grip on the trophy. Their 5-1 trouncing of the “Sky Heroes”, thanks in main to an Andrew Cole double, saw them through to the final, and stopped Boston Rock’s unbeaten PCMT run at 13 games. Unlucky for some, well, unlucky for me… In the other semi, Aardvark, finding some form at last, also walloped their opponents The Dead Parrots 5-1, with old stagers Scholes and Robbie Keane on target for Ady. The final will be played on Wednesday 28 December. Good luck to both; I’ll shine the cup up real nice for the winners…
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
The Signs of the Apocalypse; plague, famine, pestilence and Peter Crouch getting on the scoresheet! Amazingly, it happened; although a possible double strike was chalked off, York’s Returning Glory’s much maligned striker finally got off the mark this weekend. However even this miraculous event wasn’t enough to give York’s their first win; instead they stay bottom after falling victim to a resurgent Claymore Athletic by 3-2, Clive moving up to 5th as a result.
Still top are Boston Rock, who clung nervously on to a 2-1 win in the Whitby Grove derby against Prettier Than You, Rachel making the error of benching her defensive mainstay Bruno N’Gotty. Trusted close on goal difference with a 4-2 win over Eleven Imaginary Boys. Third, albeit 6 points off the top two, are Fred West LGXI, who go back above Real Muppets after their 3-2 win over Ryan’s team. Up to 6th go Aardvark Abacus, with a 5-1 whupping of the Groove Machine, who remain 15th.
Nil Satis surge up to 7th in the congested mid-table following their 3-1 win over Mega Bucks, and Dean’s visit to the Old Country resulted in the Dead Parrots fighting out a 2-2 stalemate with Final Fantasy XI. Finally, San Dimas at last show some form in their disappointing season; their 3-0 win over Thommos Titans, with 2 John Terry goals, wins them the POTW half a million. Well done Peej!
TRANSFER NEWS
None this week! The calm before the January transfer window storm, perhaps…
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which German profession were recently up in arms, following comments made by VfB Stuttgart’s trainer Giovanni Trappatoni, following a Cup defeat earlier this season?
(And it’s not an obvious one, like referees or opticians)
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 10 December 2005. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
George Best supported Wolverhampton Wanderers as a boy. Quite fitting then that they should be the first team to pay tribute to Best, in their 12.30 kick-off versus Southampton last weekend. Even more fitting that they eschewed the traditional one minute’s silence in favour of a one minute round of applause, hopefully starting an ongoing trend of celebrating the life of a deceased player, rather than mourning their demise.
I got 3 correct replies, from Rachel, Dave and Ryan. Prettier Than You came out of the hat first, so the £100,000 cash goes to the missus. Well done girl – some consolation for losing the Whitby Grove derby?
Wrong ‘uns from Clive, who went for Man United (logical but wrong), and Ceri, who guessed Liverpool, which was totally illogical; would he have been such a Man U legend had he been a kid Kopite??
SHORTS
· I didn’t want to brag but I’m going to anyway dept.; Beef’s win over Boston Rock in the PCMT semi this weekend, as previously mentioned, meant my unbeaten run in this competition stopped at 13 games. This equalled the previous longest ever unbeaten Cup sequence in WSFFL history, which was 13 games in the FA Cup over 1999-2001, including 2 final wins. And who achieved that run? Erm, You Know Your Boston Rock FC…!
