Week 25: Pogboing

Jumping Pogboom.  Into Fourth.

The only team to move up the table this week, into Fourth, is Pogboom.  Managed by this week's Managers of the Week, Nick and Sam Reed. 

Messrs Reed and Reed steered their team to a week's tally of 48 points.  This score would have been enough to get them through the next round of the cup of course.  Their opponents next week?  Ah, yes, their opponents are the same team they've just replaced in Fourth as it happens.

Dave Clayton's Pyeators.

Needle.

Hang on!  What Cup are we talking about?

Week 24: Remarkable Sheep

Rearmarkable Sheep

The Unlikely Manager of the Week this week is Martyn Field.  His unremarkable Sheep City scored a remarkable 31 points moving themselves up one place.  One.

The Sheep are no longer second from bottom.

We, here in the Studmarks offices, still find the word 'bottom' amusing.

Now, everybody look at Gavin Ward's weekly score... EVERYONE!

Snnnnngggr.

And as if you could forget: OFFL Cup soon.

And it looks like this...

Week 23: Being Alex Blundell

Being Alex Blundell

Oh my goodness they've switched places again. Current Champions, and the team being managed by this week's Manager of the Week Certificate winner, Neil's Diamonds have leapfrogged Moanchester United to land in top spot once more.  Is there really nothing that Mr Blundell can't moan about? Like, for instance, the construction of that second sentence?  Like, for instance, already being out of the OFFL Cup?  Like, for instance, being Alex Blundell?

Tough gig that.

Week 22: One Thousand Points

For the first time ever in OFFL history we have teams that have passed the 1000 point mark.  Which just goes to show how ridiculous the scoring system is these days and that all these young fantasy footballers don't know they're born and we blame the parents.

And all that.  

Isn't it though.

More excitingly, First and Second Place in the League are merely one point apart while Third Place Bayern Bru rest a mere 16 points from usurping both.

Karyn Meaden-Bloody-Pratt is this week's Manager of the Week Certificate winner as she watched her all things Brighton Beautiful score a rather impressive 78 points, pushing her up a total of zero places in the league to remain in Eighth.

In the meantime, as we hear the tinkle of broken glass fall to the floor following the slamming shut of the Premiership transfer window, we might as well have a look at our very own transfer quota state of affairs...  and it's looking good for Neil's Diamonds.
