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 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...
