Our top two win again so the chances of a team coming from outside that duo to take the title have receded. The CFJs boosted their goal difference by one more than Claymore though.

Chris' team conceded a headed goal to Nil Satis' Oscar mid way through the first half but a three goal burst in the last quarter of an hour won the day. Clint Dempsey steered in a Gareth Bale cross for the equaliser, Bale skipped through to chip the advancing keeper seven minutes later and Luis Suarez headed home on the final whistle. It might be the Uruguayan's last act of the season though as he could be in for a lengthy ban. Claymore only got the one goal in downing San Dimas. Yoan Gouffran flicked a header in after eight minutes and that was that. My team's purple patch mid-seasson looks a long time ago.

Athletico Phoenix keep up the chase with a big win over the Artisans. Robin van Persie scored another hat-trick (his second goal was a cracker) and Per Mertersacker nodded in before the break. Patrice Evra's clean completed the rout. The Aardvark Abacus defence is looking rock solid and four clean sheets turned round Ady's game against Fred.  The Gardeners were ahead through Eden Hazard's spot-kick but then came the four Aardvark cleans.

Final Fantasy's brilliant season is in danger of petering out. Ceri's team went down to an Andy Wilkinson clean for the Cheese Makers.  Beef is now closing in on Ceri's fifth place after winning the battle for sixth against the Muppets. Stephane Sessegnon is back on song for Trusted and he fired in the first goal just before the break. Daniel Sturridge equalised for Ryan seven minutes into the second period but cleans from David de Gea and Robert Huth claimed the win for Trusted.

It was cleans for Mega Bucks as well (from Artur Boruc and Guy Demel) that snapped Dave's four game losing streak and enabled his team to leapfrog this week's opponents, The Parrots. YTFIB and Boston Rock stay 12th and 13th respectively after a 2-2 draw. Samir Nasri got a fifth minute opener for Julian but Sheriff had the lead with ten minutes left after Jermain Defoe and Kevin Nolan scored within a minute of each other. Joey O'Brien's clean grabbed a point for YTFIB.
