2006/2007 - Newsletter 24 (18 March 2007)

WATCH MY TAILLIGHTS FADE TO BLACK

There’s a 3-way break at the top of the table, with the rest of the title contenders watching those 3 teams fade into the distance following this weekend’s results. Leaders Trusted By Millions gained a crucial win over Champions You Know Your Boston Rock FC, coming from behind to win 4-3. Late goals from Aurelio, Cahill and Carragher secured the win for Beef, after “The Sky Heroes” had held a 3-1 lead featuring a stunning 75/ 85/ 95 yard effort (depending which newspaper you read) from goalie Paul Robinson. Hanging on to Trusted’s coat-tails, one point behind, are Aardvark Abacus and Prettier Than You, who both secured vital wins. Aardvark beat fellow contenders Real Muppets 3-0, Ji-Sung Park getting a double, whilst it was Rachel’s unsung hero, Richard Dunne, who got the winner in their 1-0 victory over Eleven Imaginary Boys.

These 3 are in danger of breaking free; Real Muppets dropped to 4th, 3 points behind, and San Dimas leapt to 5th after an impressive win over Nil Satis. Distin, Stefanovic and Ghaly scored for Peej, whilst a highly controversial Bobby Zamora goal was Nil Satis’ reply. Paul drops to 8th. Also falling are Fred West LGXI, who collapsed 4-0 against the Groove Machine to drop to 6th, the Groovers drawing level on points and goal difference with Fred, only staying behind them due to goals scored.

There’s a change at the bottom, as (dare I say it) in-form York’s Returning Glory lift themselves out of the basement slot after a 3-0 win against the Dead Parrots, Dean replacing them in last place as a consequence. Thommo’s stay 14th after drawing a blank in their stalemate with Mega Buck Bandits. And Final Fantasy XI jump up one place to 12th following a fine 4-2 win over Claymore Athletic FC – Ballack and Andrew Johnson were on target in this win, which also gave Ceri her second POTW £500,000 in succession. So well done Ceri!


TRANSFER NEWS


Well, that was worth it, I don’t think…

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION

Which famous film star once had trials with East Fife?

Answers to me at by close of play Saturday 24 March 2007. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.

Middlesbrough and Mega Buck Bandits’ midfielder Lee Cattermole became the Premiership’s youngest ever captain when he skippered a largely home-grown ‘Boro side in their 1-0 defeat away against Fulham on 7 May 2006, at the age of 18 years and 48 days.

I got one correct guess, from Clive. So Claymore get the cash for the second week in succession. Well done Clive-lad!

I also got two well thought out but wrong guesses from Rich (Nigel Reo-Coker at West Ham) and Ceri (Curtis Davies at WBA). Thanks for trying, people.


SHORTS

·      Fred texted in a team last week – on FA Cup Quarter Final WSFFL No-Fixture Day – with the message “I know there’s no game today but I thought I’d send u my team anyway. Given, Taylor…” Talk about living up to your reputation, Fred…
