After week 17 Claymore had a four-point advantage which they could have turned into seven two weeks later if they' beaten the CFJs. Instead, three games - and three defeats - on, they find themselves two points behind Chris's team.

Clive's team slumped to a shock 3-0 loss to bottom of the table Fred. Ryan Giggs opened the scoring on 13 minutes after he zimmered his way into space and struck in off a post. Two in six second-half minutes finished the game. First Pablo Hernandez and then Eden Hazard, back from his ballboy booting ban, wrapped it up for the Gardeners. The CFJs are still racking the goals up and edged Trusted in a nine-goal thriller. Chris was two up in eight minutes thanks to Michu and Gareth Bale but Ramires and Edin Dzeko pegged Beef back by the break. A flurry of scoring in the second-half started with Michu's second but Robert Huth equalised within 40 seconds. Ten minutes later the CFJs were back in front with Bale's second but seconds later Charles N'Zogbia got his first of the season to square things up again. A draw would surely have been a fair result but Michael Turner got the winning clean to send Chris clear at the top.

Three weeks ago Brian's team were 14 points off the pace but that's been halved to seven after a thumping win over Boston Rock. Santi Cazorla drilled the Phoenix ahead on 35 minutes then Robin van Persie scored his customary goal right on half-time. Bobby Zamora scored straight after the break  and Shaun Maloney added a fourth. Another Frank Lampard goal fro Sheriff's team was but a consolation as his team drop to 11th. Final Fantasy equalled their best league win with a 6-0 battering over the Muppets. Amazingly this game stood at 1-0 with ten minutes left, then Cameron Jerome doubled Ceri's advantage. A goal and a clean double from Gareth McAuley took 'The Robins' out of sight and Mark Schwarzer and Javier Garrido also picked up cleans.

There was a tight draw between the Aardvarks and Artisans. Christian Benteke broke the deadlock from the spot with a quarter of an hour left but Nacho Monreal, one of the few February signings took make an impact this week, got the equalising clean. Two clean sheets were enough for Mega Bucks to beat Nil Satis. Maicon and Russel Martin were the scoreres and keep Dave in the top half.

San Dimas needed a bit of help to overcome the Dead Parrots. Gareth Barry steered into his own net just after half-time to put my team ahead and I needed Romelu Lukaku to make the points safe in injury time. It was an early goal that settled the Cheese Makers/YTFIB game. Jason Puncheon latched on to a rebound to score after seven minutes and Matthew couldn't find a way back.
