Week 36: Funny Smell

Hasn't been seen for a while


Remarkably, Neil's Diamonds take their manager Neil McConaghy to the highest heights in the land for the second year running. He is the third manager in 5 years to successfully retain the League Title. What makes this year's title-winning journey all the more remarkable is that Mr McConaghy didn't make a single transfer request throughout the entire season. In fact, he might as well not have been there.

And while his neighbours continue to gossip about the funny smell coming from his flat we can confirm that he was unavailable for comment.

Almost as interesting is that the previous two managers to have enjoyed 'Consecutive Season Title Success Syndrome' were actually facing off in the OFFL Cup Final with Inter Milandrover's Smasher looking to retain the Cup for an unlikely second time over arch rival Russell Bielby of Livercoolio.

And, yes, the results are in...
==============
OFFL Cup Final
--------------
RESULT

         Livercoolio 67 v 76 Inter Milandrover
      Russell Bielby         Smasher


Inter Milandrover are the OFFL Cup Winners for the third year running. Now that's remarkable.

Congratulations should also go to this season's League Runners Up, Moanchester United, who finished a considerable 58 points behind the Diamonds.

Crystal Phallus need to take a long hard look at themselves for not even making it past the 1000 point mark. Shameful. [GAVIN WARD WIPES BROW WITH OUTPUFF OF RELIEF].

Manager of the Week for this final week, and his second time this season, was Jon King. His Moobchester United scooped a bulbously pert 93 points leaving him restless in Thirteenth.

So what next? Fewer posts from us, here at Studmarks, for sure. And maybe the four-yearly embarrassment that is England Men's ritual descent in the World Rankings as they get knocked out in the qualifying round to Panama. And while the Chairman writes his usual scathing letter to the FA demanding the instant reinstatement of the Home Nations Tournament, we wave goodbye to Him, quill in hand, papers flying, chained to a large bureau that doesn't quite fit into the back of a rapidly disappearing ambulance.

He'll be back (pending full mental assessment).

May you all have a marvellous Summer and enjoy the hype that is the Men's World Cup.

Spasiba, comrades. Spasiba.
