Week 12: A Tintinnabulatingly Tight Table

The Chairman: listening out for tintinnabulation 

We thought this nonsense had stopped.  We hinted as much in the last edition of Studmarks.  But, clearly, it hasn't...


Another Manager of the Week certificate win, another new team at the top. 29 points this week sees Smasher lodged up in the League's loftiest of locales, oh lumme.

This must mean we have a very tight league this season.  Certainly in these early stages - and when we say early, we're ignoring the fact that we're already playing out Week 13.  Gosh.  Week 13, eh?  It'll be OFFL Cup soon and OMG Chairman hasn't even managed to source an appropriate prize yet.

And, cupping a hand to our ear, we theatrically ask "what's that?"  Can we hear the faint jingle-jangle of seasonal tintinnabulation a-tinkling in the chinkling chilly distance?*

*All words in this sentence actually probably exist.

In the meantime... highest climbers are Mr Bielby's Livercoolio [up 8 into Fourteenth] while farthest fallers are Mr Borret's Dowds Farm Goblins [down 9 into Twelfth].

Ooh, and just remember everyone... hope is not lost. Current Champions, Minty's Minions, are only 22 points behind the leaders and they're in Eleventh!

It is indeed a marathon and not a sprint.  Maybe we should remember that.  Write it down somewhere or something.

Happy Birthday to Craig McHugh by the way [Saturday] and Ali Larking [Sunday].  And belatedly to Neil McConaghy and Guy Harewood [Week 9 & 10].

Now, everyone look at Chris Walsh.  Everyone, go on.  STARE AT HIM.

With respect to the publishing time-delay on these posts...  You've been toppled, ol' gal.

   From: Guy "Mr Bingham" Salter
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com
Subject: Changes

Lying in bed and noticed the Mrs has been beavering away on her team - and seeing as she is giving us all a good spanking i thought 'The Phallus' needed some tweaking.....

so i would like to make the following changes

214 Van Aardvark for 151 Bellerin
230 Dawson for 640 Alonso
291 Wollscheit for 310 McAuley
324 Ramsey for 421 Sterling
346 Fabregas for 406 Lallana

Hopefully that has given you some good puerile fodder for your weekly 'carry on' writings - plus hopefully leaves me nothing to change until well into the new year

Good day to you

Chairman responds:
Lying in bed? With the Mrs?  Disgusting.  Careful she doesn't distract you from your hard managerial work.  Anyone would think you're not taking this League seriously.
