Unless Fred loses, Boston Rock win, and there's a 12 goal turnaround in goal difference it looks like we have our champions. Fred's team had stuttered in recent weeks but had their nerves settled against the Phoenix when Rafael van der Vaart scored from 20 yards after nine minutes. The next goal was 80 minutes later and by Brian's team - Robin van Persie increasing his season tally from short range. The Gardeners regained their composure after this setback and cleans from Kolarov and Kaboul won the game and take their team to the verge of the title. The defending champions have thrown everything into trying to make up the deficit and raced into a five-goal half-time lead against the Aardvarks, DJ Campbell and Darren Bent with two each and a first of the season from Matt Taylor. Perhaps there was a strong wind from one end as the Aardvarks pulled three back after the break making a dent in Sheriff's push to reduce the goal difference difference.

Ryan and Beef will be duelling over the third place in their respective last games of the season. Ryan had been two up against the Mega Bucks but needed a Lescott clean to win the game after Dave's team had fought back. It was easier for Trusted who battered the CFJs 4-0. Two goals from Charles N'Zogbia who, Since the start of 09-10, has made more than twice as many dribbles as any other PL player (with thanks to twitter.com/OptaJoe for the stat).

The Artisans season is fizzling out and Ben's team lost again, this time to a Carlos Salcido clean giving York's a tenth win of the season. Julian doesn't want the season to end! After weeks of struggle Clive has been confirmed as finishing in the top half. With the Phoenix losing and the Parrots and San Dimas doing each other no favours with a goalless draw Clive's 3-0 win over Evertonian rivals Nil Satis sees Claymore break away from the chasing pack. Paul's team are confirmed as this year's wooden-spooners, down from eighth last year, and prop up the league for the first time since 2003/4. That's partly down to Final Fantasy beating Bassett Allsorts enabling Ceri to leapfrog her opponents. After Demba Ba struck twice early on, Brede Hangeland got Ben's team back level but the game was settled by Yaya Toure lashing home on 74 minutes.
