Week 27

Managers of the Week are Hilary Straw, Minty Colquhoun and Khumbula Dube for whom the score of 6 points was commonplace. Bit of a confidence booster then for this coming week's OFFL Cup.

Week 26: Good Manager Bad Manager

With the recent shock dismissal of that internationally renowned 'big' fella from the Premiership management of the Blues, it seems that all managers are becoming a little twitchy about their own survival. Indeed, since the outrageous sacking of Tony Adams by Portsmouth last weekend the world hasn't quite looked the same.



Take, for example, this week's Manager of the Week. Poof of the North's Mark Norman has, in a strange, strange twist of OFFL fate, scored a week-topping 24pts. A score that is a whole 6pts greater than the next highest weekly score. Does this mean his entire season of underperforming is going to be ignored in favour of this one-off miracle or is someone like the high-flying Smasher going to be Scolaried out of a job for just not quite making a decent enough challenge in the latter stages of the season? None of it quite makes sense. And twitchy everyone shall remain.



What does make sense is that Week 28 will be the next round of the OFFL Cup. And have we mentioned the prize for this year's winners? It's really rather desirable. Search for 'OFFL Cup Prize' on You Tube.

Week 25: Premier League Transfer Window Shuts

A massive week's score of 39 points lands Neil Jukes the Manager of the Week certificate. His team, Decimated Left Peg, climb into fourth spot.

Meanwhile, as the Premiership transfer window slams shut we take a look to see how many of our managers are taking the opportunity to scoop up the bargains. Players who have switched Premiership clubs, don't forget, retain their original club's status for OFFL selection requirements. I.e. Robbie Keane, now of Tottenham, started the season as a Liverpool player and will remain so till the end [of the season].

Well, we wouldn't want an Administrative Nightmare to unfold would we? As it is, certain Wildcat Strike literature was found tucked under a dungaree pocket-sized jar of orange hair gel in one Umpa Lumpa locker.

Troubled times indeed.

Week 24: Low Scoring Week and Not the Heroes of '66

It seems that the Premier League has finally gone fantasy mad. OFFL officials thought it bad enough to have one A Ramsay grazing his knees on the top flight's hallowed turf but now there is a Pele. And we're not referring to P Pele of West Brom. No, we're talking about Pele. Portsmouth's new Midfielder.

What next we wonder? Maradonna looking for a house on the outskirts of Hull? Or was that J Cruyff we saw in that Wigan estate agents?

Actually it was neither. We were just trying to find an interesting opening to what would have been another dull and uninteresting Studmarks. Now on to the dull and uninteresting bits...

Managers of the Week are, thanks to a particularly low scoring week, Russ Bielby of Livercoolio, Lionel Larking of Pompey Puss and Poof of the North, Mark Norman, all of whom score an enormous 5 points.

All eyes, wincing beneath concerned and screwed-up eyebrows, are still on Metatarsenal's believably poor season. There, at the bottom of the league. And, amazingly, still in the cup. Gavin?

Week 23

Manager of the Week, notching up 17 points, is Ant Reeves. His Ant & Bex secure Fourth Place even more surely and starts to chip away gently at the lead of those above.

In the meantime, some managers may have noticed the matrix warp for a few seconds at some point on Thursday last. Indeed the Force was disturbed when the machine that drives the entire OFFL operation blew up horribly, causing irreversible damage. Luckily, the Umpa Lumpa tasked with handwriting all the documents as a back-up had just finished his week's copying, so we're still up and running. Somewhat. Somehow.

Week 22: Round One RESULTS

Manager of the Week is our leader Rick Beecroft whose RS T-Boy notched up a massive 26 points pushing them 19 points away from second place BM Mingmongs.

But what of their progress in the cup?

* For some reason there have been some adjustments to some players scores. For somewhy. The OFFL can't explain this because they don't know why.

Week 21: Final Leg of the First Round of the OFFL Cup

Manager of the Week is BM Mingmongs chief, Neil McConaghy. His team scored 9 points for the week bringing his total of Manager of the Week Certificates to, well, two.

Surely this makes him favourite to beat his opponent in BM Mingmong's OFFL Cup fixture? One more week of scores to go!
