You Know Your Boston Rock FC 6 v 1 Aardvark Abacus

Crushing victories for Fred and Boston Rock mark them out as title favourites. Fred's win over the Phoenix was hardly unexpected with Brian's team in a poor run of form but the unbeaten 'Gardeners' turned in a merciless second-half after just edging the first 45 minutes. Danny Wellbeck netted twice, Patrice Evra contributed a goal and a clean and Rafael van der Vaart converted a penalty. Is this one of the best unbeaten starts to a season? I wish I had the time to find out. The fact that Pablo Zabaleta scored the goal of the game no consolation to Brian as the result had ramifications at the bottom of the table too. Final Fantasy won 2-0 at Bassett Allsorts to lift themselves off the foot of the table for the first time in five weeks at Brian's expense. Morten Gamst Pedersen had gone cold over the last couple of seasons but scored both goals for Ceri.

Back to the happy end of the table and Boston Rock back to second place after a demolition of the Aardvarks. The result can't have come as a huge surprise looking at the teams respective positions but the manner of it surely was.  Glen Johnson has taken some flak for poor performances recently but struck the first goal and picked up a clean for Sheriff. Marouane Chamakh had equalised from a tight angle within ten minutes but another Andy Carroll goal and several clean sheets gave Boston Rock if not the biggest certainly one of the biggest over their old rivals. Ady has a month to sort things out before the PCMT Final. Trusted drop to third after slipping to defeat at the CFJs. Chris turning into quite the legend killer this season having beaten Boston Rock, the Aardvarks and put four past Fred. A bit more consistency and they could be in the title shake-up.

The Muppets are up to fourth after ending their three-match losing streak. I'm not saying Ryan has a one man team but he sure plays better when Carlos Tevez fires. The Argentinian scored both Muppets goals after Luke Varney's great strike from out wide had Mega Bucks ahead in three minutes. The Parrots lost ground after a draw with San Dimas. Two of the league's top goalscorers lined up in this match and they left with another two each. Johan Elmander had my team looking at victory before Kevin Davies completed his brace with a last-minute penalty.

The Artisans have made their way into a top half but needed clean sheets to see off a tough York's efforts. Samir Nasri, Maxi Rodriguez against his old club and Zoltan Gera had Julian 3-1 to the good with 20 minutes to go but Begovic, Givet and Skrtel cleans keep Ben's good run going. last up on match of the Day this week, the Evertonian Derby. Another victory for Nil Satis thanks to the Dynamic Duo Cahill and Arteta sees Paul jump over friendly rival Clive in the table. Claymore at least troubling the scorers with a Roger Johnson clean.
