2016/2017 Office Fantasy Football League

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 thro...

Donald Top Trump:  Looking up at the rest of the teams while 'alternative facting' about his bottomness The Trumpeteers' press secretary, Sean "Nothing But The Truth" Spicer, used his first OFFL press briefing to attack the "irresponsible and reckless" Studmarks over what he called "deliberately false reporting" around the current league position of the current bottom-placed team of WASPs. Contradicting all available evidence - i.e. the total number of points accrued by Donald 'Top' Trump's team - he insisted the fluffy-haired narcissist's league position was actually the "toppest ever league position ever to have been witnessed in the world ever, period" and suggested that Studmarks "intentionally mucked around" with their points-harvesting algorithm to make the current league ranking of the Tumpeteers appear altitudinally poor. With his 'Sniper's Delight' hairstyle, the alternative fact-spoutin...

The Chairman: listening out for tintinnabulation  We thought this nonsense had stopped.  We hinted as much in the last edition of Studmarks.  But, clearly, it hasn't... Another Manager of the Week certificate win, another new team at the top. 29 points this week sees Smasher lodged up in the League's loftiest of locales, oh lumme. This must mean we have a very tight league this season.  Certainly in these early stages - and when we say early, we're ignoring the fact that we're already playing out Week 13.  Gosh.  Week 13, eh?  It'll be OFFL Cup soon and OMG Chairman hasn't even managed to source an appropriate prize yet. And, cupping a hand to our ear, we theatrically ask "what's that?"  Can we hear the faint jingle-jangle of seasonal tintinnabulation a-tinkling in the chinkling chilly distance?* *All words in this sentence actually probably exist. In the meantime... highest climbers are Mr Bielby's Livercoolio [up 8 into Fourteenth] while ...
