2006/2007 - Newsletter 28 (22 April 2007)

CRUSHING ONE ANOTHER WITH COLOSSAL EXPECTATIONS


Will you all please stop with the, “c’mon guys, someone take on the co-ordinator’s job, oh but not me” e-mails? I think it’s really making the current seemingly inevitable end of WSFFL rather undignified.

If someone is willing to take the job on, great, let’s go, and I’ll do as much as possible to ensure a smooth transition to the new guy. If not, let’s just accept WSFFL has run its’ course, enjoy it for the last few weeks and remember it fondly thereafter.


THEY DON’T KNOW WHEN IT’S COMING, OH WHEN, BUT IT’S COMING

Aardvark Abacus stand on the edge of their 4th WSFFL title following yet another win this weekend, and a win next weekend against nearest challengers Prettier Than You will see them take the title with 2 games spare. Following a 3-2 win against bottom club the Dead Parrots this weekend, with goals from strikers Kuyt (2) and Keane, Ady is now 6 points ahead of Rachel with 3 games left.

Rachel’s Prettier Than You leapt into 2nd by virtue of a 1-0 win over San Dimas High School, Darius Vassell getting the winner. Previous contenders Trusted By Millions slip into 3rd, one point further back, after being held 0-0 by Thommos’ Titans, a result which earned Pete the POTW £500,000. Well done Pete!

Real Muppets drew level with Trusted after a repeat of their 3-1 FA Cup Final win over Yorks. Everyone else is out of the running, although Nil Satis and the Groove Machine both consolidated their positions in 5th and 6th, with wins over Eleven Imaginary Boys and Final Fantasy XI respectively.

Elsewhere, there were mid-table draws between Claymore and Fred, 0-0; and between Mega Bucks and Boston Rock, 1-1 with the “Sky Heroes’” Jermaine Jenas replying following a Benni McCarthy opener for the Bandits.

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION

Whose statue, located outside a Championship club’s stadium, has recently come under calls for its’ removal, as locals and fans say it’s badly out of proportion?

Answers to me by close of play Saturday 28 April 2007. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.

The cash-strapped League 2 team were Boston United, who had to drive in convoy to their game with Mansfield on Saturday 17th March 2007, as the club couldn’t afford a team bus. The journey was worthwhile, however, as they won 2-1. Come on the Pilgrims!

I got just the one correct guess, from Clive, so the cash goes to Claymore Athletic FC. Well done Clive!

Ceri said that Swindon players have been driving themselves to matches for quite a while now, as their bus was repossessed in about 2001. This may or may not be true, but it wasn’t the guess I was looking for!
