Week 24: Romance of the Cup

Romance of the Cup

A low scoring week this week, it's true but do try and avoid letting that devalue the Manager of the Week certificate.  They used to say that the FA Cup was a devalued competition too, don't forget and look what happened at the weekend there.  Now, simply because 8 managers jointly claim this week's Manager of the Week certificate based on a piddly score of just 3 points does not make it any less joyful a thing to behold.  So, like the FA Cup, we'll never poo-poo the Manager of the Week certificate ever again, will we?

So, there are 8 Managers of the Week this week: Malcolm Pratt, Sarah Bielby, Alun Edwards, Rachel Jones, Smasher, Dave Clayton, Nick Reed and Chris Walsh.  Congratulations all and don't ever let it be said that you aren't worthy winners.

3 of those Certificate winners are also this week's Highest Climbers: Chris Walsh, Nick Reed, Malcolm Pratt - congrats, up one place each.  For Mr Pratt, it's even more significant as it puts Malcolmyouplaysobadly at the top of the table (based on Points per Pound). Congratulations.  And how exciting.  Equal scores at the top.

A waistcoat button from OMG Chairman has just pinged off through air in excitement.

Take note, last chance for transfers to be made before the next OFFL Cup round coming up...

Week 06: Living Room Lap Of Honour

Malcolmyouplaysobadly continues the tussle for top spot by gaining the Manager of the Week certificate for manager Malcolm Pratt and using the week's 9 points to boot Inter Milandrover into second.

Botley Yellow also uses the week to recapture a top four spot, little Stanley doing a lap of honour around his living room.  We imagine.

This week's highest climb is four places, by Moanchester Disunited who now lie in seventh.

Jon King and Gavin Ward.  League chumpions this week.  Oof.

The show rolls on.

Week 03: Hyppia Hyppia Shake

Yes. A reed with a nick in it. Could it be Hyppia?

MalcolmYouPlaySoBadly's Malcolm Pratt is this week's Manager of the Week with a heftily chubby 15 points, lifting his collection of overpaid reprobates up eight places into fourth spot in the League. Phat.

Dropping seven places, however, is Didcot Rovers. Their score of minus 3 is, in a a very real sense, half as bad as It's A Snickers' week's score.

Just don't stare at Couldn't Be Hyppia's Nick Reed, however.  He'll start to get paranoid that we're all talking about him or something.
