2016/2017 Office Fantasy Football League

Tobé Mourinho.  Not a Portuguese Mystic Say what you like about Dozy Marine-Yoh, [PAUSE] [UNIMPRESSED INDISTINCT MURMUR] [ANOTHER PAUSE] ...but he's an astute fellow.  One that oozes sagacity and beard-stroking prescience.  All the way back in October he enigmatically predicted that the chase for the title this season would be a three-nag race [Guardian: https://goo.gl/vTC6Dy ] How little the journalists covering the story knew that, much like his soothsaying predecessor José Nostradamus, he was covering his sinister powers with riddles and obfuscation.  Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen he was indeed talking about the OFFL. He stated “My feeling is it will be close and probably one team that you think is playing for the title in March, probably in May doesn’t finish in the top four.” Livercoolio, Inter Milandrover and Pyeators are all currently up there jostling for supremacy.  Is this an early sprint for the line leaving the Clayton-led pacemakers to drop off the pace through exhaustion

High on the Happy Side: Russ Bielby takes the Number 1 Spot. Like Wet Wet Wet and Bryan Adams, Pyeators have spent eighteen excruciating weeks at Number 1. 18. But over the last few weeks sales of their catchy little number, written by Dave Clayton, have fallen off dramatically.  It's now the turn of former Champions [thrice-over] Livercoolio.  3 points was enough to land the top spot thanks, in part, to a minus 3 point score from Pyeators.  Bielby's boys lead the table by 2. Tight. Inter Milandrover, 5 points away in Third, have made up for last week's score-debacle by winning the Manager of the Week certificate for their Manager who steered them to a thrilling 8 points.  Too bad for Epic Yellowz however.... ======== OFFL Cup -------- ROUND TWO, RESULTS      Guess Hughton  2 v  2  Moreton Rovers          Nick Reed          Edgar Rayner        [Moreton Rovers go through on PpP]   The Flying Geese  7 v  3  Minty's Minions        Mandy Noble          Minty Colquhoun   

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. Finally, this week... ======== OFFL Cup -------- ROUND TWO, IN PLAY      Guess Hughton  v  Moreton Rovers          Nick Reed     Edgar Rayner         The Flying Geese  v  Minty's Minions        Mandy Noble     Minty Colquhoun    Dowds Farm Goblins  v  Toby's Gang       Nick Borrett     Toby Larking            RS-TBOY  v  Moanchester United      Rick Beecroft     Alex Blundell             Moobchester United  v  Crystal Phallus           Jon King     Guy Salter        Shutdown FC  v  The Trumpeteers           Sam Reed     Donald Trump  

Imagine the noise of the wind. *Tumbleweed* [Jon King is this week's Manager of the Week .  His Moobchester United wobbled in 23 points and pushing themselves together and up, back into the top ten cleavage of the League.] [Will the Pyeators still be top of the Table next week? And if not, which of the approaching challengers will replace them?] And just a reminder... ======== OFFL Cup -------- ROUND TWO, to be played over Week 31      Guess Hughton  v  Moreton Rovers          Nick Reed     Edgar Rayner         The Flying Geese  v  Minty's Minions        Mandy Noble     Minty Colquhoun    Dowds Farm Goblins  v  Toby's Gang       Nick Borrett     Toby Larking            RS-TBOY  v  Moanchester United      Rick Beecroft     Alex Blundell             Moobchester United  v  Crystal Phallus           Jon King     Guy Salter        Shutdown FC  v  The Trumpeteers           Sam Reed     Donald Trump         Obi Wan Kenobi Nil  v  Starpratt Mustgo        Chris Walsh     Malcolm Mea
