Because of the PCMT and international break we won't be in league action until October 15th. Which is a bit of a shame because we've got an exciting-looking league table on our hands. Trusted stay top but drew for the second week running. Javier Hernandez limped off after 11 minutes and after that there was no sign of Beef's team breaching a determined Nil Satis rearguard. Trusted are the last unbeaten team in the league after York's fell to the Parrots. Peter Crouch battered a header home early in the second half for Julian but couldn't kill the game off and ultimately went down to Hart and Riise cleans for Dean.
It's the Aardvarks that are up to third after notching their third straight win. It wasn't much of a match against San Dimas with a Vincent Kompany clean the only item on the scoresheet but Ady won't mind how the points come. The Artisans have arrived in third place without anyone really noticing. Ben's team did go a goal down to Mega Bucks but Mario Balotelli's deflected shot and a Kieran Gibbs clean got the Artisans their fourth win of the campaign.
Biggest scorers of the week were our defending champions. Fred's team were 3-0 up against the Muppets inside half an hour, Rafael van der Vaart, Nani and Fernando Torres all finding the target. Torres' red card for a reckless lunge before half-time should have given Ryan's team some momentum but Alex Song made it four for Fred in the last knockings of the game. Despite Joleon Lescott's clean the Muppets fall to the bottom of the table (can you believe it?) on goals scored. Ryan's loss is Sheriff's gain as Boston Rock climb a place. It was only draw for the 'Sky Heroes' but it was looking like another defeat . The CFJs were in front from a Gareth Bale header and some Luis Suarez near-post trickery but a crazy last couple of minutes saw the points shared. James Milner raced onto a (cliche alert!) defence-splitting throughball to poke home on 89 minutes and then a freakish deflection off Richard Dunne in injury time made it 2-2.
Claymore's strikers have been dishing out pain in hat-trick form over the early weeks of the season but were on the wrong end of one this week. Demba Ba looked quite handy for Final Fantasy last season and he opened his season's account for Ceri with three goals inside the hour.A Barry Bannan penalty pulled one back for Clive and a Bacary Sagna clean made for a nervy few minutes but Final Fantasy hung on. Robin van Persie had been a bit quiet so far this term but scored both goals as the Phoenix beat the Cheese Makers 2-0. Two defeats in a row see Matthew's team down to seventh, Brian is ninth.

Trusted's 100% record goes but Beef's team are still two points clear.

Trusted By Millions 1 v 1 Final Fantasy XI
Trusted not striding off into the distance just yet. Beef's team, ahead early through Titus Bramble, were pegged pack and held by Final Fantasy through Seb Larsson's strike. The point is enough to keep Ceri off the bottom. Two points behind Trusted are our only other unbeaten side, York's. Julian's team put in their best performance of the season and, with a little help from a Tuncay own goal, went on to turn over Mega Bucks 4-0.
The Aardvarks are up to third after a 6-1 beating of Athletico Phoenix. In a year when their historical rivals are not firing could Ady's team get back on the honours board? A settled Luca Modric and a happy Emanuel Adebayor could be big players this season. The Cheese Makers suffered their first defeat of the campaign but made the reigning champions work for it. Franco Di Santo had Matthew ahead but Nani's rocket and Fernando Torres had Fred in front just after the break. Alex Song nudged one past his own keeper to square the match at 2-2 but a Younes Kaboul clean won the points and gets Fred moving in the right direction.
On the subject of own goals the Muppets managed to score two as they fell 4-1 to the Artisans. Jonathan Woodgate and Laurent Koscielny both managed to score at the wrong end to steer Ben towards a third win of the season. Guess who scored for Claymore this week? Did you say Aguero and Rooney? You were right! Those two have 17 between them already this season. Martin Petrov's reply from the spot for Chris was too little, too late.
Yakubu scored twice on debut for the Dead Parrots but finished on the losing side. Mikel Arteta equalised his first goal and then Nil Satis new boy Royston Drenthe struck late to make it 2-2. John O'Shea got the winning clean for Paul to haul him into the top ten. Still no win for Boston Rock this season. Sheriff must have thought he was home and dry at 3-0 up, big summer signing Scott Sinclair opening his account along the way, but San Dimas found three clean sheets from somewhere to grab a point. Boston Rock and the Muppets in the bottom three after five games. Whatever next?

San Dimas Deal
San Dimas manager Peej has been looking at his squad and found it a little unbalanced and striker-heavy.
Agreement has been reached for Michael Owen to leave the club. Owen joined the club just over a year ago and found the net once.
The departure of the former England striker has freed up a squad space at Tesco Car Park Stadium which was quickly filled by former Real Muppets and Mega Bucks defender David Wheater.

Despite the international break and various transfer deals we're pretty much where we were at the end of August. Trusted are still top, York's and The Cheese Makers are still unbeaten, Final Fantasy and Boston Rock still winless and Claymore are still banging them in 'for fun'. (Does anyone score for 'disappointment' or 'misery'?)
Most of the games this week were settled by clean sheets. Exceptions being Trusted who got Javier Hernandez back scoring with a brace against the CFJs (Chris's first defeat) and Claymore who again had a hat-trick from Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero in their win over an unlucky Boston Rock. Sheriff and Fred, top two last year, have won win between them so far this. Athletico Phoenix, the Parrots, The Cheese Makers and York's all won by notching clean sheets after trailing to goals from their opponents. Mega Bucks and the Aardvarks both picked up wins without conceding.
You might have been able to tip Beef's team as being top after four weeks but Matthew, Julian and Dean filling the next three places? No one would have suggested that.

The Greatest Game?
Trusted's stunning 9-6 win over Claymore in Week 3 has head WSFFL archivists reaching for the record books to see if this is the highest-scoring match in league history.
These same archivists then realised that they don't have all the records and it will be a pain to search through what they've got so they've simply decided that it is.
Here's how this incredible game unfolded.
6 mins 0-1 Jose Bosingwa's raking shot from 25 yards puts Claymore ahead.
15 mins 1-1 Jordan Henderson curls home from inside the box against his former club.
27 mins 2-1 David De Gea dives to his right to make a fine penalty save.
34 mins 3-1 Edin Dzeko volleys home from close range.
41 mins 4-1 Dzeko's clever back-header gives Trusted breathing space.
41 mins 4-2 But not for long as Wayne Rooney finds the top corner from a free-kick.
47 mins 4-3 Tim Howard's turn to save a penalty, diving to his left.
55 mins 5-3 Dzeko completes his hat-trick, steering in from barely a yard.
60 mins 5-4 Sergio Aguero outpaces the Trusted defence and smashes home.
64 mins 5-5 Rooney wrong-foots the keeper from another free-kick.
70 mins 6-5 Ji-Sung Park, who's only been on the pitch one minute, gets in on the act.
82 mins 6-6 Rooney makes no mistake from the penalty spot to complete his hat-trick.
90 mins 7-6 The pick of the goals. Dzeko finds the 'postage stamp' from 20 yards.
90 mins 8-6 A Huth clean sheet means Trusted can relax.
90 mins 9-6 Richard Stearman's clean is the final action of a truly pulsating match.
After the match successful manager Beef said: "I knew I would need a lot of contributions to beat Clive as I now think he now has the strongest first eleven there is in the WSFFL."
Clive was reeling from being involved in such a match: "What an unbelievable game. I'm sure it's got to be a new entry in the record books! And not the first time that TBM have scored nine past me!!!!"
CFJs manager Chris couldn't believe what he'd seen either: "FFS! You can't score 6 & still lose by 3! That's mad! Unlucky Clive."

Trusted By Millions 9 v 6 Claymore Athletic FC
Trusted send a message to the league who must be thinking about dialling 999. Beef's team made it nine points out of nine by sticking nine past week one leaders Claymore who scored six themselves. I think this must be the highest-scoring match in WSFFL history (unless anyone knows different) and probably deserves a report of its own (now there's an idea!). I'll keep it short here by saying that Edin Dzeko scored four for Trusted (his fourth is a thing of beauty if you haven't seen it), Wayne Rooney hit three for Claymore and both teams 'keepers saved penalties. Trusted can safely be called title favourites on this form, Claymore have scored 13 times this season yet find themselves with only three points and a minus goal difference! The Cheese Makers and York's are both still unbeaten as they played out a goalless draw. Both teams probably need more up front (Matthew dropped Franco Di Santo who promptly scored twice for the 'reserves') so a draw suits both teams at this stage of the season.
The Fabulous Artisans are up to third after beating the Aardvarks and adding to the current gloom over the Rosebery Bowl. Ben's team bounced back from last week's defeat to San Dimas led by two exquisitely curled efforts from Ashley Young. The second came a minute after Ady's side had pulled the game back to 1-2 through Ryan Shotton and effectively finished the game off. The CFJs are unbeaten too but thought they had another three points in the bag through Clint Dempsey's header on 88 minutes but an Emerson Boyce clean for the Parrots keeps Dean's team in the top half.
Our reigning champions are still unbeaten too but a second draw sees them four points behind our leaders. Two goals in a second-half minute through Nani and Younes Kaboul put Fred 3-1 up and surely last year's team would have closed this game out but Neil Taylor and Maynor Figueroa got cleans to grab a point for San Dimas. Last year's runners-up have yet to pick up a win and are now bottom. Robin van Persie put Athletico Phoenix ahead from close range on 74 minutes but in the next ten minutes Brian had Carl Jenkinson sent off and saw Frank Lampard equalise for Sheriff from the spot. Boston Rock were unable to break down the ten men and Ivan Klasnic (who has one of the best goals per minute records in the Premier League) swept Brian back in front in injury time and summer signing Phil Neville added a clean to complete the Phoenix' first win of the campaign.
Nil Satis were also first-time winners and also left it late. Mikel Arteta struck from the spot as the game drew to a close and John O'Shea doubled the advantage with a clean. Real Muppets have made a stuttering start too. There will be a few teams looking at the September transfer list and wondering how they can improve their squad. We'll end with the Okus Derby which finished level. Mega Bucks struck through Charlie Adam early in the second half but the sending off of 'keeper John Ruddy gave Ceri the advantage for the last ten minutes and an Angel Rangel clean meant it's honours even in the Bevan household for a while at least.

Two wins out of two for Trusted and the Cheese Makers.
Week one rearranged fixture
Aardvark Abacus 2 v 0 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
A dreary season-opener for these two enlivened by ten second half minutes which saw Aardvark debutant Emmanuel Frimpong sent off and then the only goal of the game. A Nil Satis clearance hit Aaron Ramsey and looped into his own goal. Phil Jagielka picked up a clean to give the ten men the win. Paul has seen his chairman to say he might not make the top ten this year.

An Apology: Last week you may have got the impression that Claymore were going to run away with the league on the back of goal sensations Rooney and Aguero this season. The co-ordinator would like to apologise if last week's report was interpreted by anyone in that way but can not be held responsible for any embarrassment or losses that may have caused. The biggest embarrassing loss was Clive's who trailed to goals from Gareth Barry (Ray Wilkins said he hit his shot with a bit of 'swazz') and Kevin Davies. That man Rooney pulled one back but Dean's team weren't finished with Kenwyne Jones adding a goal and Emerson Boyce a clean to put a one-sided look on the score. Our new leaders are Trusted who scored goals either side of half time from Kevin Doyle and Edin Dzeko to get a foothold in their game against Boston Rock. Sheriff was given hope by Darren Bent midway through the second half but Jamie Carragher's clean was the clincher for Beef.
Matthew's Cheese Makers are up to second after adding to Nil Satis' woes. Another Aaron Ramsey own goal (!) and cleans from Tim Krul and Danny Simpson proving far too good for Paul's struggling team. If the new boys in second is a surprise how about the start by York's? Julian's team picked up a goalless draw with Aardvark Abacus who struggled with the two games in a week commitment.
A topsy-turvy six-goal thriller ended with the CFJs and Mega Bucks sharing the spoils. Chris led three times, including a 90th-minute goal from Luis Suarez but Dave levelled each time through Matt Jarvis, a John Ruddy saved penalty and finally an Antolin Alcaraz clean. Defending champions Fred picked up their first win when edging out Athletico Phoenix. Danny Welbeck scored what proved to be the winner on the hour with a glanced header past Brad Friedel. Ben Watson had a chance to level the match from the spot 12 minutes later but couldn't convert.
The Fabulous Artisans were an up and down team last season and it looks like Ben hasn't found the answer to that in the summer. His team surrendered meekly to San Dimas who picked up their first win thanks to three clean sheets. The Muppets also notched their first victory of the season with late goals from Anderson and Florent Malouda giving him a 3-1 lead and rendering a clean from Gary Caldwell scant consolation for Ceri.
