Claymore still in 'beast' mode and the Muppets were on the wrong end this week. Sergio Aguero scored early and late and Wes Hoolahan and Craig Cathcart added goals in between, Ryan's team unable to muster a response. Claymore's lead is stretched to five points after a surprise defeat to Mega Bucks. Despite Per Mertersacker seeing red early on Brian was ahead through Diego Costa. A Jan Vertonghen own goal levelled the game and then my old friend 'narrative' arrived on the scene. Dave had very kindly loaned out Charlie Austin to something called QPR for much of this season but has  recalled the striker to his squad and it was his header, three minutes from time, that took all the points.

San Dimas continue to lose ground after being held by Nil Satis this week. My team were two up through Dieumerci Mbokani's clever backheel and a cool finish from James Milner but couldn't finish off the Salehs and cleans from Seamus Coleman and Danny Simpson shared the points. Fred has also left himself a lot to do, much like this weekend. His team trailed 1-0 to FCK2, Harry Kane on target again, with six minutes left but then it all went a bit crazy. Dele Alli got a Gazzaesque equaliser, Leo Ulloa poked in and the Nacer Chadli and Adam Lallana both added goals five minutes into injury time.

The Aardvarks needed a clean from Ryan Bertrand to down the Wateringhole Society, minutes after Kiran's team looked to have grabbed a point through Sebastian Bassong's long-ranger. The Artisans continue to do their best Claymore impression and stuck six past the CFJs this week. Two apiece from Roberto Firmino and Enner Valencia must have Ben wondering where his team have been up to now.

Cheese Makers are still in the mid-table mix, Robert Huth's clean giving Matthew the points against Final Fantasy. Trusted are making a late bid for the top half and Beef's side picked up another win, 2-0 against YTFIB, with an unmarked Jordan Henderson setting him on his way.
