The table is updated and we go into the final 6 weeks with the 4 remaining teams. Southside Saturns Aviators Pittsadelphia The Class Acts http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tnhwyf2ZilzEa1Gbbfj8NTQ A special congratulations to Southside Saturns for knocking off top seed Duck Butter Bandits.
I've been without Gerrard and Adebayor most of the year....Fabs is amazing, but you'll be OK. If you call how my team is doing currently "OK".
Final Round Week 1 Two upsets based on major stars injuries. Pittsadelphia relies on Adam Johnson promoted from the Coca-Cola Championship to steward in 3 Assists. Meanwhile, The Class Acts, with Fabregas out for the season, stay with their Gentelman's Contract or daring of no trades for the entire season, and get output from their defenders for the win. Southside Saturns 4 (1G + 3A) v Pittsadelphia 5 (0G + 5A) Southside Saturns 4 (1G + 3A) Goal: Tevez. Assists: Tevez, G Johnson Pittsadelphia 5 (0G + 5A) Assists: A Johnson 3, Baines, Malouda Aviators 3 (1G + 2A) v The Class Acts 4 (3G + 1A) Aviators 3 (1G + 2A) Goal: Bellamy.

In terms of wins? Aggregate wouldn't make sense in the format we're currently using with head to head matchups.
Yes, it's head to head, so it is looking at wins/ties/losses in this round. There may be something about going into the earlier rounds if it gets into tiebreakers, but win your games and you'll get the Boot!
Pittsadelphia is in the lead with 2 wins, The Class Acts and Southside Saturns with 1 and Aviators looking for their first. Southside Saturns 3 (2G + 1A) v Aviators 1 (0G + 1A) Southside Saturns 3 (2G + 1A) Goals: Tevez 2.

It is the half way point of the final round robin. Somehow only 5 points were on the board in the two matches. Pittsadelphia manages to keep the lead and the unbeaten streak with a draw against Aviators. Southside gets the needed assisst from Dunn to get past the Milner penalty stalemate with The Class Acts. This is Southside's second win and puts them only one point behind Pittsadelphia which is perfect because they are matched up this weekend. Aviators needs to get back on track and their chance would be a win against the Class Acts. Southside Saturns 2 (1G + 1A) v The Class Acts 1 (1G + 0A) Southside Saturns 2 (1G + 1A) Goal: Milner. Assist: Dunn The Class Acts 1 (1G + 0A) Goal: Milner.

It's all been with smoke and mirrors. My team is wracking up assists but without Rooney scoring, I'm getting nothing anymore.
It looks like almost everyone got the memo of getting Malouda on the team. Interesting no one left has Gerrard or Lampard. Pittsadelphia may be a weekend away from banging this one out. Pittsadelphia 10 points Southside Saturns 6 points Aviators 4 point The Class Acts 3 points Week 36 Pittsadelphia 3 (2G + 1A) v Southside Saturns 2 (2G + 0A) Pittsadelphia 3 (2G + 1A) Goals: Malouda, Arteta.

This is what is left. The Class Acts need to stop Pittsadelphia or else.... Week 37 Aviators v Southside Saturns The Class Acts v Pittsadelphia FC Week 38 The Class Acts v Southside Saturns Aviators v Pittsadelphia FC
As already noted in the history books of Wigum, Pittsadelphia is this years Golden Boot winner. 26 Goals for Rooney and Eddie can pat himself on the back as a true Chelsea Fan. It was a bridge too far for Southside Saturns and Aviators with The Class Acts showing too much pride and loyalty to do any trading. Surely no one thought that Fabregas would have a miracle recovery. The good thing is that their finances seem to be in order. A great showing by all teams. Now Eddie will have to win the Sand League for additional bragging rights of Bettermirror. Week 37 Aviators 4 (4G + 0A) v Southside Saturns 3 (3G + 0A) Aviators 4 (4G + 0A) Goals: Etherington, Crouch, Dempsey, Bellamy Southside Saturns 3 (3G + 0A) Goals: Van Persie, Tevez, Doyle The Class Acts 2 (2G + 0A) v Pittsadelphia FC 3 (1G + 2A) Pittsadelphia FC 3 (1G + 2A) Goal: C.

It was a long season...I didn't think it would happen with Rooney going down. I am immensely proud of the job Malouda did for me right when my team needed him most. *turns head to choke back tears* I am just so damn proud of these guys.
