Claymore become our sixth different leaders of the season but they did it the hard way. Bottom of the table dead Parrots took a first half through Jesus Navas and Clive didn't level until 11 minutes from the end when Sergio Aguero picked out the bottom corner with a low shot. The Swordsmen finally managed to drive home the win through a Joel Ward clean. The CFJs lost the top spot in an incredible 4-4 draw with Trusted. Beef's team were two up in a quarter of an hour through Jay Rodriguez and Edin Dzeko but a brace from Samuel Eto'o had levelled this up by the break. Eto'o's (wow! apostrophes!) hat-trick goal put Chris in front four minutes into the second period but he was trailing four minutes later. Steven Gerrard's spot-kick and Chico's hapless own goal might have won it for Beef but Julian Speroni came to Chris's rescue.

San Dimas are a further point back after a rather tense draw with the Artisans. Dejan Lovren hooked in for me on the half hour but the in-form Adam Johnson came off the bench to earn Ben a point with 20 minutes left. Also on 31 points with San Dimas and Trusted are the Muppets. Ryan's team took 45 minutes to break down CK2's defences when Daniel Sturridge raced on to a through a ball and lifted in. Kevin's team battled away in the second half but a last minute Frazier Campbell and two cleans wrapped it up for Ryan.

The Aardvarks are a point further back after seeing off Mega Bucks. Ady hasn't always had a great working relationship with Emanuel Adebayor but the Togolese striker has been in superb form in recent weeks and got the two goals that broke brother Dave's resistance before Nacho Monreal added a clean to make it 3-0. While we're on the Bevan's Ceri is only eight points behind the leaders. Yaya Toure marauded forwarded to put Final Fantasy ahead on 76 minutes but Fred was level two minutes later through Wilfried Bony's clever cushioned shot. Damien Delaney was the man whose clean gave Ceri all the points.

Cheese Makers are top of the bottom half after a crushing win over Nil Satis. Yohan Cabaye was Matthew's star man scoring twice but Kevin Mirallas is finding the net with more regularity and added to his tally. It's been a long time coming but the Phoenix are back to winning ways. The Parrots did take the lead in this one through last week's penalty-misser extraordinaire Jason Puncheon but two from Santi Cazorla set Brian on the way to victory.
