Week 16: OFFL Cup Group Stage Draw

Manager of the Week this week is Inter Milandrover's Smasher.  A mid-week-fixture-assisted 29 points nudges the current Champions up into second place alongside Neil's Diamonds.  League Leaders FC Maalcoma's numerical margin of superiority is now down to just 4 points. Will Malcolm's eleven week reign at the top of the table come to end next week?

Probably.

Week 15: Bent wishes

Happy Birthday Ms Colquhoun

Manager of the Week is current OFFL Cup holder Neil McConaghy for his team's 18pt haul, pushing Neil's Diamonds up into second place in the table.

Happy 'Special' Birthday goes to the wonderfully lovely Minty for last Sunday, yet another anniversary of your 21st Birthday. Your present? Another drop in the League table. Darren Bent wishes you all the best.

Cough.

Week 14: Won't remember it by tomorrow

Happy Birthday Mr Smears

As we leave the 9th consecutive week of FC Maalcoma's tenure at the top, we see that the Manager of the Week this week is Neil McConaghy and his Neil's Diamonds.  They score a rather large 21 points.

Last week's Highest Climbers, Real Mcdrid, become this week's Farthest Fallers, scoring -4 and falling down eight places, returning Mr McHugh to the lower echelons of the table. Meanwhile, Sarah-Jane John's Johnny's Heroes become this week's Highest Climbers by moving up six.

And finally for this missive, we at Studmarks would like to wish Manager Mike Smears a very happy birthday for this week [Thursday]. With more birthdays than anyone else in the league, we know he'll be struggling to remember it by tomorrow.  Still, we hope he has a marvellous day all the same.

If he's awake for any of it.

Week 13: E.R. is no longer on T.V.

The handsome ER.  No longer on TV.

E.R. is no longer on T.V.  And by that, of course, of course, of course, we mean Edgar Rayner is no longer above Tom Vamos in the race for the wooden spoon.  And while Battling for Bottom sounds like they're a couple of bum fetishists, these managers of Moreton Rovers and West Vam respectively continue their attempts to keep up with Russ Bielby's woefully under-achieving Livercoolio.

At the other end of the table, with only 20 points separating second position from twelfth, the chasing pack are ever so gradually reeling leaders FC Maalcoma back into the fray.  Indeed, Manager of the Week this week is second place Smasher and the 16 points that the Current Champions, Inter Milandrover, notched up sees them become only the second team to pass the 100pt mark, moving up to the top of this crowd of bustling title challengers.

Highest climbers this week are seven-place hoppers, Real Mcdrid.  Manager Craig McHugh continues his sneaky upcreep by shuffling into joint sixth forcing fellow sixth-placer [and this week's lowest faller], Sarah Bingham and her Multiple Scorgasms, to budge up a bit.

First Round of the OFFL Cup is just a month away.

Week 12: After you, Mr Rayner

Tom Vamos: "After you, Mr Rayner"

Manager of the Week this week is, AT LAST, Mike Smears.  His group of young whipper-snappers managed to turn up early to the Post Office this week and pull off a pension-busting heist worth 18 points.

Congratulations Mr Smears. Subsequently, Irishpool have leapt into fifteenth place in the table which is, after all, far betting faring than globe-trotting Tom Vamos.  His recent absence from the UK, tottering around Japan, has been a noticeable distraction. In fact, West Vam have allowed Edgar Rayner's Moreton Rovers past them, into nineteenth, leaving Mr Vamos in last place.

"After you, Mr Rayner".

How polite.

In the meantime, Malcolm Pratt's FC Maalcoma are doing all they can to let everyone else catch up by scoring -3 points this week.  Not quite sure what Mr Beecroft's excuse is however.

Play on.
                         
By the`way, those functionaries at OFFL HQ would like to officially apologise to Dave Clayton.  Three Umpa Lumpa's are dead now because of him.  Ahem.
