Week 32: Three Horses

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...

HRH QE2: Cancelled all OFFL Engagements When nine teams earn their respective managers a Manager of the Week certificate you know it's not a high-scoring week. Dave Clayton, Russell Bielby, Malcolm Meaden-Pratt, Nick Borrett, Rick Beecroft, Toby Larking, Karyn Meaden-Pratt, Minty Colquhoun and Craig McHugh all tear a piece off a needlessly over-sized Manager of the Week certificate. It wasn't presented to them by a conspicuously absent HRH QE2 at a disappointing ceremony at Buckingham Palace.  3 points.  Each. On to the Cup First Round. ============ The OFFL Cup ------------ Round One, Wk 21            Pyeators  v  Toby's Gang     It's A Snickers  v  Inter Milandrover     Crystal Phallus  v  Absolutely Fabregas     Neil's Diamonds  v  Starpratt Mustgo       Guess Hughton  v  Radnorshire Tigers     Johnny's Heroes  v  RS-TBOY   ...
