Week 31: OFFL Cup Second Round RESULTS

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....

So there. What can I possibly add?

I remain respectfully yours

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

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.

Week 37: OFFL Cup Semi-Finals Draw

Image
The Wet Fish-Slap of Reality    It's that time of the year when Our Most Gracious Chairman has been too busy checking his MySpace profile and forgets that the season might be running out of weeks.  The usual flailing arms and panicked head-scratching would indicate that He's forgotten to schedule the OFFL Cup within enough weeks to play it. So this year [if you can imagine it] OMG Chairman was flicking the doughnut crumbs off his continually ballooning belly, and about to plunge into a beautiful snooze, when the wet fish of reality slapped him harshly across the face.  Convulsing with panic, he vaulted into the green leather chair of his bureaux followed by the dragging of a chubby little finger down a column of dates in his Danii Minogue calendar while his tongue apprehensively clings to the outside of his upper lip. "Ah," he thinks with relief "that could have been embarrassing" The moment passes and he mops his brow with a polka dot hankie. And thus... -
