Four games ago Beef was seven points adrift of Claymore. His team are now five wins away from having three pots on his mantelpiece.

With the Charity Shield already bagged and the FA Cup Final looming Trusted hammered San Dimas and with Claymore drawing it's Beef's side on top on goal difference. My team took the lead against Trusted through Romelu Lukaku's solo effort But I was behind by half-time. Steven Gerrard converting from the spot and Edin Dzeko scoring a minute later. After the break Javier Hernandez scored from close range and Gerrard added another penalty before Gary Cahill's clean rounded things off. Clive had spent nine of the last ten weeks on top but his draw drops him to second. It could have been worse. Mega Bucks were two up with twenty minutes left. Guy Demel poked in a controversial opener on half-time and the lead was doubled thanks to Grant Holt's first of the season. Joe Ledley pulled one back a minute later and Branislav Ivanovic got the equalising clean.

Only one win in five for the Muppets means Ryan's up against it in the title race and his team slipped to defeat against the Aardvarks. Steven Jovetic broke the deadlock on 81 minutes and Petr Cech got the clean to confirm the points. Fourth-placed CFJs are probably too far away to make it back-to-back titles. Chris did win at the Parrots this week despite falling behind to Rickie Lambert's first-half penalty. Willian scored a superb curling equaliser and Gylfi Sigurdsson had Chris ahead on 90 minutes and Julian Speroni followed up with a clean.

The MOTM jinx didn't really catch Ceri out as Final Fantasy drew 1-1 at the Phoenix. Yaya Toure's third minute penalty looked to have secured all the points but Adnan Januzaj got Brian's late, late equaliser. Cheese Makers complete the top half after a good win over Fred. February signing Mohamed Salah opened the scoring just after the half-hour and Juan Mata added a second with a free-kick seven minutes later. Mata added his second five minutes into the second half with a cool finish after a brilliant cut-back and Fred could only reply with an Alex Buttner clean.

The Artisans and FCK2 shared the points at Goddard Stadium. Christian Eriksen took a while to settle but now looks at home and his gaol had Ben ahead 12 minutes from time. The Artisans couldn't close it out though and John Terry's clean got Kevin a point. YTFIB are off the bottom after beating Nil Satis. Steven Naismith's goal had Paul ahead early on but Julian hit back through Jason Puncheon and Samir Nasri to lead at the break. It was Mikel Arteta's unlucky own goal that gave Julian breathing space and Puncheon's second (a beauty) and a Hugo Rodallega flick header in the last five minutes saw YTFIB home.
