Week 05 & 06: Bunch of Currants

Well this is quite something... Minty Colquhoun is Manager of the Week yet again.  And this week, it's by quite some distance.  18 points for her Minions which is nearly twice as many as the nearest challenger to the Certificate.  She breezes past Neil's tarnished Diamonds into First place in the League.

While that first paragraph didn't quite live up to its opening sentence, we can point out that Livercoolio, our current Champions, are currently mirroring the current Premiership's current Champions' current fortunes, currantly.  They have again achieved a minus score.

Raisin hopes for this season's pretenders to the sultanate.

In fact, we've just heard it through the OFFL Grapevine that giggling can be heard from Beeky Towers.

And just as Mike Smears dispatches his first Rant of the Season [see below] his Irishpool have jumped up five places in the League, more than any other.

Señor presidente

This is monstrous! No sooner had my zimmer frame touched the ground, after a frantic interlude lying on a beach for 6 weeks, than I switched on the gas and made for the computer - only to find that you had once again allowed these young managers to start scoring points in my absence. Outrageous!

But it is no good reaching the age of 98 without becoming more cunning: I have found a solution. Having studied your rules, I find that nowhere do they specify that you have to include a goalie and defenders in your team. So I shall transfer all of them out and have 11 strikers. That will increase my goal tally and avoid any minus points for goals conceded.

So THERE, young man!

Amendments have been made.  Now eat up your breakfast and read the paper.
