Week 01 - Welcome to the New OFFL Season


The wash of teams lapping up against the shores of the Chairman's wreckage of an inbox every August and September is always a pleasant reminder of how things never really change. At least, not the important things at any rate.

A bit like the regular 11am arrival of the 300g stool with the morning's papers fanned out at one's quivering slippers - there's something predictable about the majestically productive way it passes the time.

And the previous evening's supper of course.

Or, more prosaically, the dawn of the new OFFL Season can be seen as a stark reminder that we've done nothing with our Summer days and should, quite frankly, be ashamed of ourselves. Our childhood dreams of living more interesting lives have disappeared so completely from our exhausted imaginations that we're now vicariously pursuing a tiny fraction of them through a pathetic text based lunch time boredom reliever.

Whichever way you look at it, it's queer and it's here. So get used to it.

And having used up five paragraphs for what could be classed as the worst opening passages of a new season's Studmarks ever... Welcome to the Office Fantasy Football League Season of 2009/2010.

The unimaginative celebratory cakes have been unwrapped, the tea-urn has been switched on and the Umpa Lumpa's are dancing out their own peculiar, some might patronisingly say 'sweet', Haka at the coffee machine; all in preparation for team registration...

...and these are the nonsensical selections you've all made...[see below]

Manager of the Week this week is, clearly, Neil Jukes for his Decimated Left Peg. 27 points, claiming the first Top Spot of the season. The non-existent Certificate is [not] on its way to you, sir.

In the meantime, everyone else, don't get too distressed at your poor point scoring just yet. Always, remember... ALWAYS remember... it is a arathon, not a misprint.

This year's OFFL Cup Prize is a real beauty this season folks so prepare for disappointment: There can be only One...[winner].
