Ady had been Lording it over the league for a few weeks but has now been knocked off the top. Matthew would have expected more from Shane Long over his career but he was the Cheese Makers darling this week as he rose to head in the only goal of the game. Last year's champions the CFJs are now in top spot after a 3-1 win over San Dimas. Chris' cunning plan to dodge Bebe in worked to perfection and added a Samuel Eto'o goal to a brace from Luis Suarez nine minutes either side of the break. Libor Kozak pulled one back for me.

The Fabulous Artisans are on the same points total as the top two after beating old rivals Athletico Phoenix 4-2. Brian doesn't lose many when Robin van Persie scores but was three down before the Dutchman flashed in a header on 27 minutes. Loic Remy, Stephen Ireland and Martin Skrtel had already registered for the Artisans and a superb free-kick from Leandro Bacuna with 15 minutes to go ended hopes of a Phoenix fightback. The Muppets missed a chance to join the top three on 19 points as they were pegged back by Nil Satis. Ravel Morrison converted from close range on 32 minutes but Seamus Coleman's clean grabbed a point for Paul.

Alarm bells were ringing for Claymore as time ran down and he trailed FCK2 to a Nathan Dyer goal. Midfield general Leroy Fer struck from outside the box on 90 minutes to loosen the chains and a Jonny Evans clean gave Clive all the points. A YTFIB win as elusive as the Scarlet Pimpernel at the moment. Julian's team went down to Mega Bucks this week. Yannick Sagbo (which is Gujarati for potato curry) opened the scoring from distance for Dave and a dubious penalty decision gave Charlie Adam the chance to double the advantage from the spot. Dean Moxey got YTFIB's consolation clean but his team is now bottom.

Ceri's form is a shadow of what it was earlier in the season and Final Fantasy handed the Dead Parrots their first league win of the season. Rickie Lambert struck first for Dean from the spot and Robert Snodgrass added a free-kick and Mathieu Debuchy a clean to get the Parrots off the foot of the table. Down at the wrong end Fred picked up a win too, 4-2 over Trusted. Beef's team were twice in front. Adam Lallana twisted and turned like a twisty, turny thing through Fred's defence to open the scoring and Stephane Sessegnon's shot bobbled through to make it 2-1. Both those goals were cancelled out by Wilfried Bony efforts and Eden Hazard got a controversial penalty to put Fred ahead. When the protesting stopped a Younes Kaboul clean finished the game.
