Report

The Muppets were beaten finalists in the PCMT earlier this season so were looking to go one better in their first FA Cup Final for 16 years. The Aardvarks stood on the verge of a rare league and Cup double. And it was Ady’s team that had the better of the first half.

Micky van de Ven thought he’d put the Aardvarks ahead on 22 minutes only for VAR to intervene and rule it out for offside. It was 20 minutes later when Ady’s team did find the breakthrough, Morgan Rogers shooting in at the near post. Son Heung-Min had a chance to double the lead two minutes later but lofted the shot into crowd.

There was an equaliser for Ryan straight after the break as Ederson was subbed off with a clean. The momentum shifted and the Muppets were in front on 71 minutes when ‘Mr Inevitable’ Erling Haaland made himself some space to shoot into the far corner. The Aardvarks now pushed for an equaliser and found one with three minutes to go, Son finding the corner from penalty spot. There was to be no replay as the Muppets had cleans from James Tarkowski and substitute keeper Stefan Ortega.

So, no double for the Aardvarks and it’s the Muppets that take the trophy home.

An excellent week for Ady who could rest a few players ahead of the FA Cup Final and still get a win at Claymore to close on the title. Clive took the lead too, Lorenz Assignon skipped past a couple of defenders and slotted in only for Morgan Rogers to cut inside and equalise five minutes later. Diogo Jota’s 72nd minute shot that squirmed under the keeper proved to be the winner.

With the CFJs not playing, SGU had a chance to go second. They didn’t take it. Dominic Solanke’s penalty gave Aaron the lead but Michail Antonio lunged in for an equaliser for the break and Dave’s side took the points with a Nathan Ake clean. The Wateringhole are up to third after a 2-1 win at San Dimas. Dwight McNeil’s long-ranger put my team ahead late on but Kiran turned it round with cleans from William Saliba and Ruben Dias.

Trusted’s late charge continues with a 5-3 win over the Muppets. Emerson’s early own goal had the Muppets ahead but then Beef’s side got into gear. Jean-Philippe Mateta has looked a different player since joining Trusted and got the equaliser on the half hour. A stunning Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick had Beef in the lead soon after and it was 3-1 at the break when Leandro Trossard mis-hit a shot in off the post. Mateta and Bernardo Silva added second half goals before a couple of Muppets cleans reduced the final deficit.

Two of Wheel Madrid’s best players of the season got the goals that beat Fred 2-0. Michael Olise usually scores better goals than his early close-range header while Leon Bailey couldn’t miss the chance that clinched it. Three games were called off due to… ooooh… let’s say food poisoning, waterlogging and a protest by Just Stop Fantasy Oil.
