Week 16: Bit of Tinsel

This particular edition of Studmarks would have consisted of the usual empty wishes of seasonal good will, an advent theme and a really sexy montage of the last twelve months.  Unfortunately a bit of tinsel got caught in the OFFL machine and a wheel fell off.

Manager of the Week is Guy Harewood.  His Bayern Bru scored 69 points.  Put that in your stocking and ladder it.

Stay safe, little beanbags.  Stay safe.

Week 15: OFFL Cup Group Stage

Christmas Boreball

With a mahoosive Manager of the Week-winning megascore of 94 points, our current Champion Neil McConaghy has narrowed the gap between his Second Placed Neil's Diamonds and current First Placed Moanchester United.  This makes the 92 point score deficit between First and Third place appear slightly less daunting.  In a fewer-points-than-you-think kind of way.

All of that is of absolute indifference to those below Third.

You may find some sort of interest-reignition in the fact that we now know which group you'll be in for the First Round of the OFFL Cup.

That was definitely a sharp intake of anticipatory breath somewhere in the audience there.

Hey, what am I blithering on about?  This is what I'm blathering on about...

Week 14: Dull

Strictly Dull

Manager of the Week again is Alex Bluddy Blundell, Moanchester United scored 51 points.  They're pulling away you know.

This week's highest climber is Sarah Bing Bong Bingham.  Her Suits You Surman climbed three places into Eleventh.  Otherwise there wasn't much movement in the table at all.  Quite dull really.

Let's distract ourselves, albeit very briefly, from the torpidity of this week's nonsense by thinking about the OFFL Cup.

There.  We thought about it.

Move on.

Week 13: There's a Prize?

This is not an actual prize available to us

Is it time to talk about the OFFL Cup?  It is, isn't it?  

Your league position after Week 15 will determine your seeding in the first round.  The first round will be a group competition played over the Christmas period and will leave us with 16 teams to slog it out over the rest of the season.

And now you can wake up.

The prize will be... determined.

In the meantime, we've had a week of massive scores.  Mike Smears, ageing disgracefully though he might be, notched up a week's score with graceful thunderousness. 91 points.  His Irishpool have moved up a deceivingly meek three places while he gets Manager of the Week.

Up at the top we see Moanchester United and Neil's Diamonds move further ahead, Pyeators struggling to keep up with the pace.  But what IS going on with Crystal Phallus?  Last season's successful Sixth Place.  This season's bottom dweller.


True.
