Week 19: A Frosty Christmas?

Happy Christmas to Mr and Mrs Salter
What a week?!  In fact, it's been more of a weeeeeek!  And with the usual Christmas chaos breaking out all around us it's no wonder Our Most Gracious Chairman is feeling a little sore-headed.  Of course, it doesn't help matters when He can't find his extra-large-and-saggy-waisted-velcro-fastened feasting pantaloons.

And that's why there's still no sign of a Christmas bonus turning up for the OFFL HQ Umpa-Lumpas.

It appears that, like our Boxing Day toilet seat approach, we're going to have to crack-on.

Crystal Phallus have launched themselves into Third using the 'Manager Of The Week' certificate-winning trebuchet of 38 points.  Manager Guy Salter is clearly looking a bit nervous about this as he's just realised that for the first time in his marriage he is actually one step ahead of his wife, Sarah Bingbong.

That's one family's happy Christmas that's destined to remain desperately quixotic.  Studmarks salutes you.

And talking of quixotic attempts at happiness and fulfilment, Chris Walsh's Obi Wan Kenobi Nil have more than doubled their entire season's point tally by scoring 35!  It looks like he might even climb a place in the table before the year is out.  2016, eh?  A year of Unlikelinesses.

Happy Christmas everyone, may the OFFL Cup First Round prove distracting - it begins on Boxing Day.

Week 41: Winning and Not Winning

Image
A fantastically fascinating final furlong in the ferociously fought fumble for the fantasy football title. A massive Manager of the Week certificate-winning week's score of 42 points from the recent long-time league leaders Pyeators threw Dave Clayton's lads all the way back up the table earning themselves a final Second Place finish to the season for the third time in five years.  They landed up there with a bump, short by just 11 points, behind this year's Office Fantasy Football League Champions, Neil's Diamonds.  Yes, it's now official.  Congratulations to Neil McConaghy who hasn't won the title since 2008 when he topped the table with Big Mac's Mingmongs. Congratulations/Commiserations therefore to Dave 'Runner Up' Clayton who adds 2017 Runners Up, to his legacy of losings.  This includes 2014 Runners Up, 2013 Runners Up and 2012 Cup Runners Up.  "Don't worry Dave," as we've comforted him almost every year since 2012, "t...

Week 36: OFFL Cup Quarter-Final Results

Image
Mike Smears is only just in the Top Ten Bit of a shuffle at the top this week with Dave Clayton's long-time leaders, Pyeators, slipping down yet another place in the League. Current leaders Neil's Diamonds continue for another week at the top with a increased lead of 7 points.  Bielby's Livercoolio fall to Fourth, a few steps away from the dream of winning a third OFFL title in four years. Manager of the Week , distressingly for all of us, is the decrepitly aged and calculatingly cantankerous Mike Smears.  His Irishpool pulled in a dastardly brilliant 18 points to push themselves up seven places into Ninth. A walking stick's ferrule away from being outside the top ten. Meanwhile... ======== OFFL Cup -------- QUARTER FINALS, RESULTS Week 36              RS-TBOY  7 v  6 Moobchester United        Rick Beecroft         Jon King     Starpratt Mustgo 10 v 11 Moreton Rovers Malcolm Meaden-...

Dave Clayton Wakes Up It's Week 30 and Russell Bielby takes advantage of the mighty Inter Milandrover's massive mega-meltdown to take over the second place spot. Meanwhile Guy Harewood has his Big Girl's Blouses billowing up into twelfth place after earning a Manager of the Week certificate-winning 18 points. And in other news... Dave Clayton has submitted a couple of transfer requests to help hold off that heel-nipping chasing pack.
