Week 36: OFFL Cup Semi-final RESULTS

Livercoolio's 21 point haul has meant Russ Bielby can rightfully claim his second Manager of the Week certificate. And as he pushes his band of merry merrymakers into, well, the same position they were in last week, we watch, bemused, as Inter Milandrover leapfrogs BM Mingmongs into joint 1st place, leaving the manager wholeheartedly regretting the decision to buy low-scoring Agbonlahor in place of high-scoring Arshavin. The race is wide open again.

Rick Beecroft's season seems to be unravelling as not only does he have to share top spot in the league but his dream of Doing The Double is finally over. Indeed this week has witnessed the return of the magical romance that sloshes around inside the The Cup [thanks to an unusually low score for RS T-Boys against the equally unusually high-scoring Pompey Puss]. Abeerden, however, attempted to get through to the next round by scoring less minus points than the opposition. Alas, the plan has faltered thanks to Alun Edwards steering his Radnorshire Tigers to a largely positive 17 points.

Now, everybody look at Campbellwin. Everyone stare at the manager... eek out the humility.

Minus seven points. Count 'em backwards. Minus seven.

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?
