IF MAN IS FIVE, THEN THE DEVIL IS SIX
A couple of last year’s contenders moved ominously into gear this weekend. Double Winners You Know Your Boston Rock FC beat Mega Buck Bandits 5-0, thanks to more doubles, this time from Samaras and Lampard. However Aardvark Abacus went one better, beating the Dead Parrots 6-0, a William Gallas double amongst Ady’s goals. These results lifted the “Sky Heroes” and the Abacus into 4th and 3rd places respectively, 3 points off the early pace.
Claymore Athletic FC still head the table, the free-scoring unit knocking in another 4 against Fred West Landscape Gardening, with a Thierry Henry strike the main feature. Nil Satis stay level on points, after a narrow 2-1 victory against Eleven Imaginary Boys, Tim Cahill grabbing the winner. Aardvark and Boston Rock are 3rd and 4th, as previously mentioned, and Final Fantasy XI moved up to 5th with a 2-0 win over the Groove Machine, a Kevin Nolan thunderbolt securing victory for Ceri.
At the bottom, Real Muppets got their first win of the season, beating York’s Returning Glory 5-0 with a Ronaldo strike the feature of this result. This leaves York’s stranded at the bottom, still yet to get off the mark this season. The only other winless team are, amazingly, Trusted By Millions; another 0-0 draw, this time with Thommo’s Titans, leaves Beef 15th with just 2 points to show for this season.
Elsewhere, Prettier Than You scored an impressive 3-0 win over San Dimas High School, with Rachel’s strike force of Ameobi and Moore both on target in this win, which moved Rachel up to 8th and won her the POTW half a million. Well done girl!
AND IN YOUR PLACE AN EMPTY SPACE
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you all this, but here goes; if any managers have retained players in their squads, i.e. players who are not owned by Premiership clubs, those managers are NOT able to use those players in their starting eleven plus subs of a weekend. Those players do count towards your squad total, but effectively just take up space in your squad until they are signed by a Premiership club, or the club they play for is promoted back to the Premiership.
I thought I’d spell it out, as one manager this weekend reported in a team with a relegated player in their line-up, to “dodge” in a goal scored earlier that weekend by one of their subs, then claimed not to know the rules when I called them on their actions. So now y’all have no excuse!!
TRANSFER NEWS
Player From To Fee
Paul Gallagher (A) Pool Dead Parrots £500K

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Another World Cup 2006 question. Dig in for the long-haul, folks, there’s more to come…
How did Ecuador striker Ivan Kaviedes celebrate scoring his country’s third goal in their 3-0 Group A win over Costa Rica?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 30 September 2006. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
German authorities blamed the World Cup Finals for their failure to catch a brown bear, on the loose in Bavaria. Tenuous, I think…
Nevertheless, a lot of you got it. I received 5 correct replies, from Ceri, Peej, Clive, Ryan and Rich (who gave me the bear’s name - -Petzi – and its’ full life story as well!). Real Muppets were the first out of the hat, so the hundred grand goes to Ryan. Well done and thanks everyone else for your guesses!
