Week 14 & 15: Striking Couples

They can't get enough of each other.

Well, every once in a while you get a strange week.  And this week seems to have been just that.  Strange.  While the pundit world has been talking about joyful striking partnerships and how much Sturridge digs Suarez's unnecessary wrist-kissing, or Aguero enjoys holding hands with Negredo during a match or Van Persil likes looking lustfully into Wooney's eyes across the six yard box, OFFL managers have been forgetting about their defences.

Thanks to this defensive yang to the goalscoring yin we see that seven teams have scored zero or fewer points this week.  In fact, none of the top eight teams scored higher than a Len Goodman "seVENN!" points.

Manager of the Week this week, by the way, is Dave Clayton.  His Pyeators II notched up 16 points, 20 points more than the worst performing teams, moving the 'Eators up four places in the league. Mr Clayton has seen the error of his ways and has now made a change.  Meanwhile former League leader, Birthday Girl and Darren Bent Groupie, Minty Colquhoun, celebrated her birth anniversary by scoring 1 point.  Could have been worse.  Couldn't it Messers Edwards, Rayner and Harewood?  -4, eh? Oof.

Yup.  Strange week that one.  Strange.

Carry on.
