The top two have a tough week but Trusted know that two wins will give them the title.

Beef's team played out a tough draw against the Artisans. Edin Dzeko ghosted in to head Trusted in front on four minutes but Jonjo Shelvey's stunning volley from the centre circle midway through the first half was Ben's equaliser and there were no further goals despite Ryan Shawcross seeing red for Trusted. Claymore slipped up though crashing 4-1 at Fred West. Wilfried Bony has had an excellent season and put Fred in front on 10 minutes. Olivier Giroud got clive back on terms after three quarters of the game but Bony's injury time penalty, quickly followed by cleans from Younes Kaboul and Cesar Azpilicueta damaged Claymore's title hopes.

Mathematically the CFJs are still in the race after coming from behind to beat the Cup winners. Connor Wickham seems a different player after his Cup Final goal and opened the scoring with a looping header. Mesut Ozil had Chris level three minutes before the break but a barnstorming run and shot from Yaya Toure had Ceri back in front almost immediately. Wickham's second four minutes from time seemed to have delivered the points to Final Fantasy but Willian walked the ball in in the last minute to cut the deficit and cleans from Vergini and Sagna (did Clive ship him out too soon?) gave Chris the win. The Muppets season is ending with a whimper and it was another defeat for Ryan this week. The Dead Parrots were the victors and turned the game round after Laurent Koscielny had poked Ryan's team ahead on 26 minutes. Fernando Amorebieta's first WSFFL got Dean level and Erik Pieters got the winning clean that sees the Parrots off the bottom.

YTFIB now prop the table up. Julian's team failed to bounce back from their big loss at Cheese Makers and went down 2-0 to San Dimas. Saido Berahino scoring an early close range goal for me and Dejan Lovren finished things with a clean. There was only one goal between the Aardvarks and Phoenix. Danny Rose's thumping header after 33 minutes gave Ady the points.

Matthew's team followed up their 6-0 with a five goal win at Mega Bucks. Two more for Juan Mata in this one. What a coincidence! Nil Satis and FCK2 finished level. Seamus Coleman has been one of the defenders of the season but his headed own goal put Kevin in front on half an hour. Paul got a share of the points with a quarter of an hour left with Nikica Jelavic first to react and following up from a rebound.
