Week 19: Happy Christmas [for some]

As the Chairman flicks another winter-burned bogey into the footwell of his chauffeur-driven Ford Mondeo he contemplates the past year. Unable to remember further than this morning's Breakfast TV phone-in on Pointless Christmas Presents and feeling like he's been playing extra time in a Quidditch tournament actually Sitting On an inserted Nimbus 2000 he gives up and returns to his drug-fuelled hallucination-filled pain relief that comes free with all post-haemorrhoidectomy debrief packs.

Ah yes, Christmas. And Christmas in the OFFL at that. It kind of blasts past you in a spasm of 'Match of the Days' and 'Out Of Office' replies. Only to coagulate in early January with the news that you've been unceremoniously booted out of the OFFL Cup by someone at the bottom of the table. It's enough to cause a sphincter-flinch of yuletide over-panic.

Well, whatever happens to you and your kin during this period of fun-filled festoonery may you all have a simply lovely time.

May 2008 be full of smooth saddles, comfortable cotton underwear and softly-tapered brown baguettes.

Enough of bottoms until the New Year wethinks. Or until the six-week check up review at least.

Managers of the Week this week are coincidental husband and wife Sarah-Jane John and Russ Bielby. In that order. Both hauled in 21 points for their respective clubs.
