Week 35: It was th-th-thirty years ago today

Mike Smears standing in front of his brand new 1985 Howitzer tank estate

The old man of the league, Smearsy, notches up another Manager of the Week certificate win by allowing his rabble of youfs, aka Irishpool, to score a week's total of nineteen.  N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen. Nineteen.  N-n-n-n-nineteen.

Paul Hardcastle there.

And while we grapple with a 30 year old Pop Culture reference [the like of which Mike, himself, would still have been too old at the time to currently understand] we quickly move on...

Should you still be in the OFFL Cup, don't forget to get your transfers in for the Semi-Finals to be played in Week 37 - good quizzing times ahead for the winner of the Cup, I must add - the winner will be receiving the Football Fans Quizbook as the most wondrous 1st Prize.

D-d-d-d-d d-d-d-destruction.
