Week 39: Fidget-Spinning in Excitement

Neil's Excited
Manager of the Week?  Malcolm Meaden-Pratt.  16 points for Starpratt Mustgo.  They're up into Thirteenth, four places above wife Karyn. *Sizzle*.

Meanwhile at the top of the table... two weeks of results to go.  12 points in it.  Is the gap too big?  Yes, probably.  Let's be honest.  We can see Neil McConaghy fidget-spinning in excitement.

But what of The Cup?

========
OFFL Cup
--------
Semi-Finals, RESULTS, Wk39

           RS-TBOY  5 v 10 Inter Milandrover
     Rick Beecroft         Smasher

Dowds Farm Goblins  6 v  7 Moreton Rovers
      Nick Borrett         Edgar Rayner


The final is therefore between Inter Milandrover and Moreton Rovers.  Moreton Rovers have 12 transfers left while Inter Milandrover have none.  This means that Moreton Rovers can GUARANTEE a cup win if they can spot any player that is out injured for the rest of the season in Inter Milandrover's team. They just have to swap the entire team to copy that of Inter Milandrover's apart from the injured player and put in a cheaper replacement.  Make sense?  One manager hopes not.

Good luck to Eg Rayner in working it all out, if indeed he can be bothered.

Of course he can be bothered.

It's The Cup.

The Final takes place in Week 41.

   From: Karyn Meaden-Pratt
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

Well hello there!

Do my eyes deceive me?! Have you fiddled the stats for me, or am I actually further up the table than My Old Man?!

Please could I transfer out Hopeless Holebas and replace him with Doing-Better Daniels (158 BOU), kind sir.

Toodles, big love Mr Chairman

Chairman responds:
If I could give points for politeness and loveliness you'd be Top of the Table, Ma'am [all due respect to the Diamonds].  Consider it done.  And shame about the timings of your email and this week's points.  Oof.

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.

Week 31: OFFL Cup Second Round RESULTS

Image
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
