Week 25 & 26: It'll Never Happen?

Leicester City/Minty Colquhoun will not win the Premier League/OFFL Championship

While Jamie Vardy's goal against Liverpool is still playing in a loop within the creaking walls of a stuporously unresponsive Chairman's hollow mind we are having to knock our own noggins to negotiate the very real possibility of Leicester City being Premiership Champions.

"It'll never happen" has become "It'll never happen?"

And so we find the Office Fantasy Football League asking similar questions.  Can Minty Colquhoun win the League?  Not if Nick Reed's Guess Hughton have a say in it.  Indeed, Mr Reed has notched another mark on the Manager of the Week bedpost after scoring 21 points and slices Minty's Minions' lead down to 14 points.

"It bloody well COULD happen you know!"
