Week 28: OFFL Cup Results

The Chairman has been enjoying certain aspects of this so called Credit Crunch. Not only has it allowed him to guiltlessly use those two words to explain his own stubbornly innate stinginess but it has also allowed him to squeeze in a few self-serving adverts amongst our weekly words of wisdom. So, 'Why Not Buy A Loopy track from iTunes'

Yes, Studmarks has finally given in to advertising. Indeed, if you 'Buy a Loopy track from iTunes You'll Be Happier Than If You Didn't'.

Dan Manns has had a stonkingly good week as he watches his Mannschester United notch up 18 points, winning him the much coveted Manager of the Week certificate. Congratulations Dan. You've moved up a place in the table too.

Not that the air is heavy with the stench of desperation but you could always 'gift' a Loopy track to someone you love and respect and make their lives happier too. All for just 79p. 'Friday in Firenze' is quite nice. It's got a cello on it.

Meanwhile Rick Beecroft's RS T-Boy's reign at the top is reinforced as they pull away from the current champions BM Mingmongs in second.

But.

Let's see how they got on in ...

OFFL Cup

Straw Bucharest 2 v 7 Pompey Puss
Campbellwin 10 v 12 Abeerden
Woolyback Town AFC 11 v 12 RS T-Boy
Nuttingham Florist 11 v 8 Rayner Midriff
Inter Milandrover 11 v 9 Tat Mucker
Ant & Bex 12 v 9 Two Owls
Upmintster United 7 v 9 Dube Stars FC
Radnorshire Tigers 15 v 11 BM Mingmongs

Father beats son; an Ant beats Two Owls; last two ladies lose out; and, the shock of the round, current league champions BM Mingmongs have been knocked out! Thanks to a jolly good hiding from Radnorshire tigers.

So, congratulations to Lionel Larking, Steve Tierney, Rick Beecroft, Andy Straw, Smasher, Ant Reeves, Khumbula Dube and Alun Edwards.

Now, wouldn't it be a nice gesture to buy your defeated opponent a Loopy track from the iTunes music store? Wouldn't it? Yes, of course it would. Click here to do just that...

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.

It's for a great prize by the way. Courtesy of Chris Tierney.

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.
