I’M IN LOS ANGELES TODAY, IT SMELLS LIKE AN AIRPORT RUNWAY
Well, we’re back! Back from our honeymoon in California, having taken in the lovely San Francisco, the utterly awesome Big Sur and the quite frankly insane Los Angeles. Thanks to everyone in the WSFFL managership who were able to join us on our big day, and thanks to you all for your good wishes.
So, now it’s back to normal, and back to the WSFFL…
YOU’RE GOING NOWHERE AND YOU’RE GOING THERE FAST
The last 2 unbeaten records in the league both tumbled this weekend. San Dimas High School finally showed a glimmer of their true form this weekend with a 3-0 beating of previously-unbeaten Eleven Imaginary Boys, with goals from Yakubu, Sorensen and Queudrue, to move above them into a challenging 5th position. However this was topped by Real Muppets’ 2-1 victory over league leaders the Dead Parrots, with goals from Reina and Cisse. This gave Ryan’s team a boost up the league, into 8th spot, but also the POTW half a million. Well done Ryan!
So the Dead Parrots are dumped down to 4th spot in the table. Up to the top again is, guess who, You Know Your Boston Rock FC, giving their absent manager a nice welcome home present with a 4-0 win over Thommo’s Titans, Frank Lampard getting a double for the second WSFFL weekend in a row. Joining them on 12 points but with an inferior goal difference are Trusted By Millions, Andrew Cole bagging a brace in their 4-1 win over still-winless Mega Bucks. Two points off the pace sit Fred West LGXI in 3rd , held 3-3 by Final Fantasy XI thanks to a creditable defensive performance by Ceri’s team, and the aforementioned Parrots in 4th .
Elsewhere, Aardvark Abacus’ lucky 1-0 win over York’s Returning Glory lifts them to 9th and leaves poor Julian stranded at the bottom. Previous bottom club the 22 Legged Groove Machine lifted themselves up to 14th, following their second win this season over champions Claymore Athletic FC, 2-1 this time with goals from Stelios and Kanu. Clive’s double champion team now find themselves in 12th spot, and next week it’s the Abacus…!
Finally, Nil Satis continue their encouraging start to the season with a 1-0 win over Prettier Than You, with Bobby Zamora getting the winner to lift Paul’s team to 7th in the table. Not such a nice welcome home present for the wife, then…!

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which player started the 2003/04 season playing for Bristol Rovers in the old Division 3, and ended it captaining his country at Euro 2004?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 22 October 2005. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
AC Milan and Brazil playmaker Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Liete is called Kaka because his toddler brother couldn’t say “Ricardo”, so shortened it to Kaka. And apparently the pronunciation emphasis should be on the second “ka”, i.e. Ka-kah, otherwise it means poo-poo. Which let’s face it, is what he and his team did over Manchester United in the Champion’s League last season…
I received one correct answer from Ryan. So the £100,000 goes to the Muppets! Quids in this week, Ryan…
