Match of the Week

I’m going to have to re-think this match of the week business. Maybe I should pick the most exciting game or the one with the biggest implications rather than just the one with the biggest crowd,

Because the 75,000+ didn’t have much to cheer this week (apart from the travelling Cheeseheads of course). A game short on chances saw the Muppets held goalless for the second straight week and the three points going to Matthew’s team thanks to a Nathaniel Clyne clean sheet. The Cheesers are fifth, five points from the summit. Ryan will be kicking himself as a win would have taken his side top.

Elsewhere in the league

A third league defeat for Fred has made things interesting at the sharp end. Did I say defeat? I meant heavy, crushing defeat. 6-0 to the CFJs. Alexis Sanchez and Gylfi Sigurdsson absolutely bossed the game from start to finish scoring three goals between them. Chris will be delighted to see Fernando Llorente back on the scoresheet with his two opportunistic injury time finishes. After putting six past Athletico last week Wheel Madrid followed it up by putting five past Claymore. Paul was two up on 34 minutes through Negredo and McAuley but Clive was level by the hour with two scruffy Sergio Aguero goals. Negredo got a second 11 minutes later to put his side back in front (they're his first goals since week one)y’d then cleans from Karius and Matip finished it off.

Athletico recovered from that defeat last week with a win at old rivals the Artisans*. Christian Eriksen’s early screamer was cancelled by Riyad Mahrez’s penalty before the break. James Tomkins kneed in for Brian with 15 minutes left but Christian Benteke levelled matters ten minutes later. The Phoenix winner came from a Cedric Soares clean. It was a clean that gave San Dimas all the points against Nil Satis. Paul had been in front on the stroke of half-time thanks to a great long-ranger from Pedro but Theo Walcott nodded me level eight minutes after the break. Dean Lovren was my clean sheet hero. Trusted are on 18 points too. Beef’s team never score two when one will do and it was a Victor Moses goal, after he’d been given the freedom of the Abacus penalty area, to settle his game against Ady’s team.

I’m sure there must have been season when Mega Bucks have only won five games all season. Dave’s already up to that number know after beating YTFIB 5-3. Charlie Austin opened the scoring inside a minute for the Bandits but it was two goals in three second-half minutes from Leroy Fer that took the game away from Julian’s side. The Wateringhole Society win! Erik Pieters’ clean was the only score against fellow strugglers FCK2 and lifts Kiran’s team above his opponents.

* I found an Artisans Lane while on my travels in Swindon this weekend. The town planners might have waited until they’d won the league before naming a street after them. Any other WSFFL road names out there. Must be a Cheese Street I’d have thought
