The CFJs are looking a bit vulnerable at the moment and Chris' team went down to defeat to one of their title rivals. A goal in either half from Luis Suarez had the CFJs in control but a whole host of cleans see the Aardvarks keep in the title picture. If Ady can add a striker in the January window he may well be a threat to the rest of the contenders. San Dimas missed a chance to go top as they grabbed a point at FCK2. Kevin's team were two up in this one through a smart finish from Jack Wilshere and a Steve Sidwell header but Danny Welbeck pulled one back on the hour and Dejan Lovren's clean meant it finished 2-2.

Claymore needed a first 'counter' of the season from David Luiz to edge Cheese Makers. An excellent Kevin Mirallas free-kick had equalised Olivier Giroud's but Luiz's clean proved the difference. Trusted are fourth after coming from behind against Nil Satis.Paul was gifted the lead when a wild shot took a huge deflection off Ryan Shawcross and flew in after five minutes but Beef was level three minutes later when Edin Dzeko capped a decisive move with an emphatic near post finish. Steven Gerrard provided the winner from the spot early in the second half.

The Artisans snapped their recent bad run of form with a 6-1 thrashing of YTFIB. Julian was in front in this one, Peter Crouch picking out the bottom corner with a header from 12 yards but Ben's team came roaring back after the break. Christian Eriksen's superb control and first-time finish drew the sides level, Adam Johnson got two after coming off the bench and Alvaro Negredo added another to his tally. Fred is suddenly hitting the form that brought him the title three seasons ago. In a cracking game against the Mega Bucks, who looked like winning after going 3-2 up after going into injury time, the Gardeners bagged the win thanks to cleans from Nemanja Vidic and Alexandr Kolarov.

Goal of the week was probably Gareth Barry's long-ranger for the Parrots against the Phoenix. It was only good for a point though as Brian levelled through a Pablo Zabaleta clean. No goals between Final Fantasy and Real Muppets. What else can I say about that? Er... both teams still in the top half.
