Week 26: St Valentine's Day Romance [of the cup], Results

The Romance of the Cup

It seems that colds, coughs and snivels have been affecting the OFFL lately forcing Russ Bielby to claim that his team is a little hoarse this week.  Not that anyone believes such nonsense, not from the tune he's been warbling out recently - listening to him, one might think that the fat lady is already singing.

Not that Russ is a fat lady, of course.

He's definitely not that.

By no stretch of a fevered imagination, no, no, no.

Which brings us neatly back to the fevered maladies that ails the OFFL.  With yet another Manager of the Week certifcate winging its way to the brutish and very masculine Russell Crowe of a man, Mr Bielby is running away with the Championship.  Managers Ward, Clayton and Smasher have, yet again, fallen off the chase pace with sore throats and rasping snotsplosions suggesting it really isn't a three hoarse race at all.

With St Valentine's Day upon us, like a hodfull of sharp-edged, gravity-stricken bricks, it is appropriate that we should be looking at THE ROMANCE OF THE CUP.  And indeed, the results are in...

OFFL Cup
