Manager of the Month

September's award goes to Ady Bevan of Aardvark Abacus. They were the only team with a 100% record in September.

Curious stat while I'm passing - Claymore Athletic FC have played eight games this season, they have drawn six of them 2-2.

If I'm spotting things like that I probably need a holiday - oh, that's right, I'm going one one!

See you in a couple of weeks,

The Co-ordinator

This week's transfers

You Know Your Boston Rock FC put Chris Samba up for sale on Monday and he is now a Cow-Faced Junior. Chris paid £2m for his services and sold Giorgios Samaras to Celtic to make room for his new addition.

You'll be unsurprised to hear that Sheriff has signed a young English defender to take Samba's place. Gavin Hoyte moves from Arsenal to the Whitby Grove Enormodome.

The WSFFL scouts were busy in midweek. Real Muppets signed Fran Merida Perez from Arsenal and got Rodrigo Possebon to put pen to paper while still in his hospital bed. Lubomir Michalik and Michael Brown leave Ryan's squad.

The 22-Legged Groove Machine were also after Possebon but were two hours later than Ryan's ambulance chasers. Rich has to be satisfied with signing Herita Ilunga from West Ham. Holmar Orn Eyjolfsson is out of the Groovers six weeks or so after joining.

News from the new boy

Ben Warr, manager of WSFFL new boys The Fabulous Artisans, admits his man management skills are being sorely tested in the first few weeks of the new season.

"I think I may have made a mistake in signing Joey Barton" said Ben during a break in training at the Artisans' Town Gardens practice ground.

"He's already beaten up 3 other players, the first team coach, and a couple of passing schoolboys who he said were looking at him in a funny way. On top of which Michael Chopra has had to go back in to Rehab because Joey had him out on the town before Michael had even got changed following his brace of goals playing for Sunderland last week.

"And that's another thing" spouted the thrusting young manager, visibly getting up a head of steam, "every time I leave a player out of the side they seem to turn up playing for an EPL team and inevitably scoring goals left, right and centre.

"First Chris Brunt for WBA, then Mark Noble for West Ham and finally Michael for Sunderland. I've asked the chairman to take a look at their contracts but he just mumbled something about extortionate wage bills and having to make ends meet and he told me that I'd better not ask too many questions or I might find myself back on civvy street toot bloody sweet.

"All of these European sugar daddies around and we ended up with a cock-er-nee hod carrier who got lucky renting hovels to Eastern European prostitutes. I ask you!"

Ben then had to cut short the interview as Craig Bellamy had decided to lay into Darius Vassell for no apparent reason. It seems all is not well in the Artisans camp - best of luck Ben, you're going to need it!

Dynamo Kev - news from Gainsborough Avenue Stadium

Having slipped in their building schedule, Bodge-it & Scarper (Builders) have finally announced that the new Covingham Park Stadium is available from the 1st November.
Invitations to attend the House-warming party will be announced shortly . Everyone is welcome, with the exception of Mr Dean Watts Esquire, who may choose to remain in the Southern Hemisphere.

Team News - Dynamo Kev

Fabricio Coloccini knocked on my door this morning to offer his apologies at being a pants defender. Knowing that I had tracked, and subsequently bid for him at the recent auction, The Robert Plant doppelganger admitted that he was finding it hard to settle in England. He hadn't been able to purchase a decent washing machine, and was spending far too much time in Wooton Bassett High Street Laundromat attempting to launder his socks, which he said were too tight. I reminded him of the time that I washed the Kylies' playing kit and that seemed to cheer him up.

'Rocket and Robin' seemed to have left their shooting boots back in pre-season, although Van Persie did net last week against Claymore Athletic in the league, and Fred West in the League Cup. Santa Cruz blamed the arrival of his brother for his dismal performances. Nigel 'Hotshot' Reo-Coker is still celebrating his first goal for the club, and having contributed to Dynamo's POTW award in week 3, seems to have justified his re-signing from the pool recently. Pablo Zabaleta, the Argentinian defender born across the River Plate in view of the Fray Bentos factory, won Dynamo Kev's first win this week with an impressive clean-sheet. Asked if he actually liked corned-beef he said that he was a vegetarian and preferred Venezuelan-Beaver cheese instead.

There are injury worries on Michael Carrick, Samir Nasri, Jonas Gutierrez and Abou Diaby ahead of week 5's clash against an impressive YKYBR FC. The physios are doing what they can to get the wounded ready in time.

Samba Surplus at Boston Rock

You Know Your Boston Rock manager David Rose has transfer-listed defender Christopher Samba.

Rose told the WSFFL co-ordinator: "I've informed him that he's not part of my first team plans and he's asked for a move. I'll listen to sensible offers for a regularly playing defender who provides a legitimate goal threat at set pieces."

Samba was a £500k signing in February 2007 replacing injury-prone defender Danny Gabbidon who's now at San Dimas High School.

'Big Chris' found the net twice last season and also added seven clean sheets in all competitions as Boston Rock won the PCMT and reached the FA Cup Final.
