Week 28: Mo Shun Sickness

Mo 'n' Jo

Back in the days of a Mourinho-managed Chelsea, one Blues' squad member called Mohamed Salah was seen to be worthy merely for one thing: warming the bench for the comfort of his more illustrious and much-photographed team mates.

While his youthfully mighty Egyptian buttocks contributed cozily to 2015's successful Premiership Title push that year it was only when Jose let him leave Stamford Bridge that Mo started to flourish for Fiorentina.

The following season, things went weightily wobbly for Chelsea forcing them to jettison Jose.

And to wrap a story up before the relevance of the punchline goes missing...

Chelsea, quite literally, lost their MoJo.

[SILENCE]

[/PAUSE]

Too tenuous, huh? 

OK. How about this...

[TAKES ANOTHER RUN UP]

At Chelsea, Jose Mourinho didn't utilise the sensational Mohamed Salah who subsequently left.  Could we say that Mourinho must now be suffering from Mo Shun Sickness?

[AUDIBLE SIGH]

Oh COME ON!  It's better than the rubbish you've been getting recently.

Managers of the Week are Nick and Sam Reed: their Pogboom scored a large 75 points which is just the sort of distraction Dr Reed needs right now, what with him being personally responsible for the entire driverless car thing.  Yeah!

This'll distract the reader from yet another appalling Studmarks.

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?
