Final Fantasy stay top and hang on to their 100% record. Demba Ba’s had a bit of a quiet phase after an explosive start at Ceri’s team but his second-half brace was too good for the Parrots. Ba’s second goal was a very clever finish, delayed until the keeper had committed himself. The CFJs are the other team with maximum points after beating Drove neighbours the Aardvarks 2-1 in front of 75,000. Lukas Podolski’s fine free-kick had Ady’s side ahead on the half-hour but two goals in a minute through Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez with 20 minutes leftgave Chris the win.
There's a four-point gap to the rest of the league. Ben's Artisans are third after sharing a draw with brother Matthew's Cheese Makers. Leighton Baines got the opener for Ben on 15 minutes but there was controversy late in the game when Marouane Fellaini appeared to have equalised only to have the goal chalked off by an erroneous offside decision. Sebastian Bassong's clean sheet deservedly levelled the game. The Muppets are the other team on eight points after a draw with Claymore. The evergreen Paul Scoles put Ryan ahead from close range just after the break but the Muppets were denied the win when David Luiz got a clean for The Swordsmen. (I decided to invent a nickname.)
Boston Rock were back on song this week and showed no mercy to the struggling Gardeners. Jermain Defoe bossed this one for Sheriff, scored twice and could have had a hatful. Recent signing Steve Sidwell also on target for the 'Sky Heroes'. If Fred is looking for a consolation it's in Alexander Buttner (I don't know where my umlaut key is) who scored on debut. A rare lacklustre showing from the Phoenix was pounced on by Mega Bucks. Dave's team got off the mark for this season thanks to a Steven Fletcher goal and cleans from Russell Martin and new signing Guy Demel.
Trusted are still not firing on all cylinders but edged out struggling Nil Satis 2-1. Paul will feel a little disgruntled after seeing a Victor Anichebe shot cross the line but not be given as a goal. Although Anichebe did notch two minutes from the end to equalise Chicarito’s goal Beef still had a Jussi Jaaskeleinen clean to take the points. Dimitar Berbatov made his YTFIB debut this week and the languid Bulgarian scored twice in the 4-0 victory over San Dimas. Peter Crouch’s ‘Basketball’ goal had opened the scoring on 15 minutes and Berbatov’s strikes had made it 3-0 by half-time when I was down to ten men after Peter Odemwingie's red card. I’m sure my team aren’t that bad, but that makes it my fault!
