Claymore's bid for their points record was ended in style by the Muppets. Well, Sadio Mane to be precise who scored a hat-trick in two minutes 56 seconds early in the first half for Ryan. When Cesc Fabregas saw red on the half hour after booting a ball into a group of players it was pipe and slippers for Ryan and slippers for Clive. Fred now has a strong claim on second after beating the Artisans 5-2. Twice Fred led through Lallana and Chadli, twice Ben replied with Benteke and Brunt. There was no reply to Wilfried Bony's last minute pass in off the post or cleans from Craig Dawson or Marcos Rojo.

The four teams in the running for second and third are playing each other in the final games. The Phoenix beat FCK2 this week with a well worked Stewart Downing goal and play Fred on Sunday. Any win will do for Brian to snatch third and a six-goal victory will nab second place. If Brian does slip up Trusted are poised to take advantage after beating YTFIB. Emmanuel Riviere broke his WSFFL duck in slightly flukey style for Beef but another Jason Puncheon free-kick had Julian level at the break. The winner came from Marc Muniesa clean and Trusted need to better the Athletico result to take third. Trusted take on the Muppets where a big win for Ryan could yet see him take third if results go his way.

The Aardvarks haven't quite sealed a top half spot despite edging out Cheese Makers. A side-foot volley and a Glenn Murray penalty follow-up getting it done for Ady. His last game is against San Dimas who are on the same number of points. My team led twice against Mega Bucks and Romelu Lukaku looked to have snatched the win with his late header but Wes Morgan's clean earned a share of the points for Dave. That's probably enough to stop him finishing bottom. The CFJs added to Dean's woes with a big one to give Chris a chance of a top-half finish. Gylfi Sigurdsson broke the deadlock bang on half-time but pick of the goals was Leroy Fer's screamer on the hour. Final Fantasy are also tucked in ready to take advantage of any slips from the top half teams. Ceri's team swept aside Nil Satis 4-1 this week, Yaya Toure adding two more to his tally either side of a Bafe Gomis reply that had the most awful big cat impression celebration you're likely to see.

Claymore show no signs of letting up despite having safely secured the title. Two more wins would give Claymore their points record in a 16-team league season. Sergio Aguero's hat-trick got the job done this week after they had trailed early to a Riyad Mahrez brace. Brian called him into the side just before kick-off an he rewarded his boss with his first two WSFFL goals inside 20 minutes but they eventually counted for nought. That Athletico defeat has put Fred in charge of the race for second place after victory over Nil Satis. Jermain Defoe and Bafe Gomis traded goals in the 85th minute but Fred came through thanks to cleans from Mangala and Zouma.

Unless there's some Frank Lampardesque change of heart in the offing then Trusted will be saying goodbye to Steven Gerrard before too long. He'll be missed by Beef's team and he got the only goal against the Artisans this week, nodding in at the far post. FCK2 are still harbouring hopes of a top three finish but they could only draw with a YTFIB side still making a nuisance of themselves. Kevin's team led twice. John Terry getting one early on and then Danny Ings firing in from close range just after the hour. Each time Julian hit back, a Jason Puncheon free-kick and then Mame Diouf turning in from a tight angle keeping his unbeaten run going.

Julian's still on the bottom though after Mega Bucks picked up their first win since December. Charlie Adam has hit some screamers recently but this one was a header and was the only goal that inflicted another defeat on the Aardvarks. The inconsistent San Dimas also needed just the one goal this week, David Silva finding room in the Dead Parrots defence to break the deadlock.

Another team that can never quite string a run together are the Muppets. They went down 2-0 to Final Fantasy this week. I don't believe I've used the phrase 'forest of legs' for a while so I will now. Ayoze Perez shot through a forest of legs just before the break to give Ceri the lead and a Michael Duff clean doubled the advantage. Matthew's top half hopes are just about over after being held by the CFJs. Cheese Makers had been two up through a Juan Mata penalty and a Marouane Fellaini header but cleans from Ron Vlaar and Geoff Cameron completed Chris' comeback.

Claymore: Howard; Dann, Cresswell, Yoshida, M.Dawson; Barkley, Ledley, Fabregas, Fernandinho; Aguero, Rooney           Subs: Robles; Wollscheid; Colback; Giroud

Fred: Courtois; Mangala, Azpilicueta, Varela, Zouma; Chadli, Lallana, Hazard, Cuadrado; Bony, Sanogo                    Subs: Lloris, ~, Paulinho, Ulloa

Before the game Fred warmly congratulated his opposite number on the title win and then set about denying him a second 'Double'. There were some surprise team changes in both line-ups. Claymore had left out Branislav Ivanovic, surely one of the defenders of the season, and Alex Kolarov who had scored against these opponents last week. Up front the Claymore boss selected the returning from injury Wayne Rooney over Olivier Giroud. Fred had knocked up a pre-match veg stir-fry for his team and that ruled out January signing Jermain Defoe and consigned Leonardo Ulloa to the bench while an administrative error meant he couldn't field a defensive sub.

Sergio Aguero was the focus in the early stages and he'd already gone close a coupe of times before opening the scoring for Claymore on 29 minutes. Timing his run to perfection he beat the Fred offside trap and had the freedom of the penalty area to smash in at the near post. The sides were level at the break though. Eden Hazard, perhaps the top midfielder of this campaign, won a penalty, missed the penalty and then nodded in the penalty rebound.

The second half also had a premium on chances. Aguero just failed to wrap his foot around a shot following a one-two with Fernandinho and missed the target from close range on the hour. Wilfried Bony and Paulinho perhaps should have done better with late chances that went their way. With no further goals it was clean sheets from Eliaquim Mangala and Cesar Azpilicueta that gave Fred victory and takes the trophy to New Cromwell Street.

After finishing runners-up in the previous two seasons, Claymore are celebrating their second title in four years.

Clive got the point he needed in a 2-2 draw with closest rivals Fred West. Sergio Aguero won't score many easier than his opener on three minutes when the beneficiary of a scuffed clearance and former Fred defender Alex Kolarov doubled the Claymore lead on 66 Minutes, finding a gap in his former teammates' defensive wall with a 25 yard free-kick. Nacer Chadli got Fred back into it four minutes later when proving too strong for the Claymore rearguard and firing into the far corner. Craig Dawson got the equalising clean but the Gardeners couldn't find the winner that would have prolonged the title race.

The Phoenix are in third after a 3-1 win at the Aardvarks. James McCarthy opened the scoring for Ady on five minutes after skipping through the Athletico defence. Brian's team turned it round after the break. Dame N'Doye levelled with a tap-in and scored on the breakaway as time expired. Carl Jenkinson's clean made the game safe. The Muppets are fourth but were outplayed by the CFJs, going down 3-1. Graziano Pelle has finally awoken from his quiet spell and got two for Chris , the second a superb header, either side of a Gylfi Sigurddson strike. Any hopes FCK2 had of getting involved in the title picture have been ruined by draws and there was another one this week, 0-0 against Trusted who are also on 42 points.

San Dimas edged Nil Satis thanks to a Dejan Lovren clean in a game that won't live long in the memory. The Dead Parrots scored! Twice! But still lost. Nelson Oliveira opened his WSFFL account on the stroke of half time for Dean against the Artisans and Jack Cork doubled the lead with 20 minutes left. The Artisans hit back with three clean sheets to extend Dean's losing streak.

Final Fantasy won the Okus derby but Dave will be ruing Charlie Austin's penalty miss. Ceri's team went in front on 20 minutes when Ayoze Perez latched on to a defensive mix-up and despite the spot-kick miss the Bandits were level seven minutes later with a Charlie Adam rocket. Clint Hill's clean proved the Final Fantasy winner and it's Dave doing the washing up at Okus Stadium for the next week. Worse than that, YTFIB now have the same number of points at the bottom. Cheese Makers took the lead with a quarter of an hour left when Kevin Mirallas beat the offside trap and slotted home but Julian turned it round thanks to cleans from Pauls McShane and Konchesky. Could YTFIB yet escape the bottom place?

Clive has seen off another potential title rival with a 2-0 win over Trusted. Only Fred and (in extremely unlikely circumstances) Athletico can now stop Claymore.

Sergio Aguero's first half opener set up the win against Beef and Alex Kolarov got a clean to make it 2-0 at the end. Fred kept his hopes alive with a 7-0 win over a depleted Final Fantasy. Leo Ulloa and Nacer Chadli broke recent goal droughts and Eden Hazard notched his tenth of the season before the break. There was a stack of cleans for the Gardeners too. If Athletico win their last five games and Claymore lose their last five, and there's a 20 goal turnround then Brian could possibly win the title. His game with the CFJs this week was postponed due to... ooh, let's say, a Spanish air traffic control strike.

The Muppets are third after edging San Dimas 1-0 thanks to a Martin DeMichelis clean. FCK2 needed a last minute Harry Kane goal to get a point at Mega Bucks after a late Charlie Adam goal might have won it for Dave. He'll be glad of that point as YTFIB shocked the Aardvarks. Fabian Delph got the only goal that gives Julian an outside chance of not finishing bottom.

The Artisans brought Cheese Makers winning streak to an end. Kevin Mirallas opened the scoring for Matthew but the revitalised Christian Benteke levelled before the break and Christian Eriksen got the winner eight minutes into the second period. Nil Satis and the Parrots ended 0-0. Dean stopped his defensive rot but is now struggling at the other end is five games without a goal.

Claymore reacted to their heavy defeat last week in the best possible way (as far as Clive is concerned) with a big beating of the Parrots. Aaron Cresswell scored a superb free-kick on seven minutes, Sergio Aguero added a second a minute later to set up the win and Cesc Fabregas and Aguero added further goals in the last three minutes. That's scored seven, conceded 34 for Dean's team in the last 12 matches.

Clive's win was backed up by his pursuers failing to pick up victories. Fred stayed second but lost 2-1 to a CFJs team that have suddenly remembered how to play. Aaron Lennon scored four minutes from the break and Graziano Pelle's first for ages clinched the points for Chris ten minutes from time. Trusted were whacked 4-0 by the Aardvarks who went AWOL in the winter but are seemingly back to their best. Glenn Murray nodded in three minutes into the second half and Joe Allen lashed in a rare goal on 70 minutes. Two cleans finished Beef off and he's also lost Victor Moses for the season.

FCK2 were another team to slip up going down 4-2 to Cheese Makers. Matthew has got the best out of Juan Mata in recent weeks and now Ashley Young (with his first of the season) and Marouane Fellaini seem reborn too and their goals helped the Cheesers to a fifth win in a row.Without Diego Costa and Robin van Persie Athletico couldn't find a goal against YTFIB and Julian's Marko Arnautovic nicked the winner deep in injury time.

The Muppets ended Ben's recent good run thanks to a host of clean sheets. Raheem Sterling's smart finish had Ryan ahead inside ten minutes but the in-form Christian Benteke and a Jonjo Shelvey penalty put the Artisans in front. Then Ryan lined up his cleans from Koscielny, Moreno, Bellerin and Aldeweireld to turn the game on its head. Unlucky Ben. Nil Satis round off the top half, Aaron Ramsey's early goal the only thing of any note to happen in Paul's win over Mega Bucks. San Dimas are top of the bottom half after a big win over Final Fantasy. Yannick Bolasie's 11-minute second-half hat-trick broke the back of this one and Connor Wickham's late goal for Ceri was mere consolation.

Claymore sank to a disappointing defeat this week but Clive now needs just four wins from his last six games after his rivals slipped up too.

Nil Satis are having a decent season despite (or maybe because of) a lack of interference from their manager but I don't think anyone was expecting a 5-1 victory for them over their 'bluenose' rivals. Bafetimbi Gomis got two more for Paul and although Olivier Giroud puled one back for Claymore a bunch of clean sheets handed Clive his first defeat this year. The Gardeners are second but could only draw with YTFIB. Fred had been two up in this one - Eden Hazard's spot-kick followed by Jermain Defoe's superb volley before the break. The game was level five minutes into the second period though, Julian hitting back though Jason Puncheon's free-kick and a scruffy Paul McShane effort.

Trusted and Athletico fought out a draw that doesn't really help either of them. Victor Anichebe bagged his first of the season for Brian and might get a few more opportunities with Diego Costa limping off. Jordan Henderson's cool penalty 15 minutes from time ensured the game ended even. FCK2 also failed to close in going down 3-0 to the Muppets. Esteban Cambiasso, Cheik Kouyate and Hector Bellerin all got first half goals for Ryan who also managed to keep Harry Kane quiet.

The Aardvarks clocked up their biggest win of the season when brushing aside the Parrots 6-0. Ady's team blew their title chance over the winter but it all clicked this week with Ander Herrera scoring twice and Phil Jagielka got a goal and a clean too. It's Dean's biggest defeat this season and his last six games now read scored three, conceded 17. The CFJs picked up only their second win this year when crushing San Dimas 4-0. Two excellent goals before the break from Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez set Chris up for the win and my team had nothing to offer in response.

The Artisans recent run of good form continues with another win. Ben's side overcame Final Fantasy this week with all the action coming in the second half. Loic Remy's opener for Ben was cancelled by Yaya Toure but a returning to form Christian Benteke put the Artisans in front and Leighton Baines got the clinching clean. The Manager of the Month award didn't jinx Matthew as his team got their fourth win in a row. Charlie Austin scored another one for Mega Bucks to give him a shout for the Golden Boot but the Cheese Makers got the points through Ki and Mee.
