Week 20: Winning and Whining

Not that kind of 'whining'
Alex Blundell is still whining about his first round OFFL Cup exit.  And while we ignore that snigger at the back, we continue by pointing out that this week his fortunes have taken a turn for the better as Moanchester United nick back the League's top spot from Neil's Diamonds.

Radnorshire Tigers leap into the top ten this week by scoring a walloping 62 points earning Manager Alun Edwards a second consecutive and well-deserved Manager of the Week certificate.  He joins Mike Smears in winning the most certificates [3] this season which really does question the already suspect relationship between number of certificates earned and League loftiness.

Argh, brush it under the carpet.  Like the rest of this season's little anomalies.

Esteemed Mr President

This week I write in humility. I find Irishpool sliding down the OFFL, consequent on me taking my eyes off the proverbial ball while marvelling at Coventry’s epoch-making dismissal of a Premier league side in the FACup.

I wish to rectify this scandalous situation and so please be so good, Young Man, as to make the following transfers:

OUT
308     Trippier
436     Coutinho
578     Calvert-Lewin
604     Jesus

IN
252     Otamendi
441     Mané
583     Depoitre
625     Heung-Min.

And I expect you to ensure I resume my rightful place as Manager of the Century asap.

Yours respectfully

Brexit from Bassett

Chairman responds:
Um, what was that about "taking eyes off the proverbial"?

You DO know that you already have 441 Mané, don't you?!

Brighton Beautiful
-------------------
   From: Karyn Meaden-Pratt
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com
Subject: 

At the risk of making a massive mistake, please would you make some transfers for my lovely team? They have been working so hard, but I think they might do better in this formation… gah, here goes:

OUT Jesus 604, IN Firmino 596
OUT Stanislas 353, IN Gross 357
OUT Alderweireld 304, IN Bellerin 159
OUT Daniels 174, IN Monreal 169
OUT Van Dijk 283, IN Walker 254

Thank you.

xxxxx

Chairman responds:
You're welcome.  You may have just transferred yourself into "Contention".  Though you do only have one transfer left.
