Week 24: Sponsored by Loopy

Hercule Poirot Leapfrogs Kate Wilson

A mainly FA Cup week for the Premiership Clubs has meant that Mainly Bell Jam has won their manager the Manager of the Week certificate with a weak week's score of 5 points.  It means Hercule Poirot leapfrogs Kate Wilson - a sight to behold, we're sure.

And that's Kate "Proud Owner of Loopy's Booster8" Wilson to you and me.

Also, Nick "Not bought an album yet" Reed's Gone Poyet Gone has squeezed past Neil "Booster8-less" McConaghy's Diamonds to claim primary position in the attempt to get into the top ten.

He's eleventh, yes.

In the meantime... here are our own Cup Fixtures for the next round of the OFFL Cup...

Week 08: The Monocle's Out

Guess Who's the Manager of the Week?
[actual certificate pictured]

Manager of the Week this week is the Frenchman, Hercule Poirot.

Apologies Monsieur Poirot, of course we mean Belgian.

His Mainly Bell Jam team consisting of mainly Belgian players mainly scored 13 points for him this week, earning our mainly fictional sleuth the Manager of the Week Certificate which he will doubtlessly examine mainly through his immaculately clean monocle.

Now let's borrow that monocle and take a moment to study Guy Harewood. In what was a poor week for all fantasy defences across the country, his Woolyback Returns successfully lost 7 points.  That's a weekly total of minus 7.  SEVEN.

So much for those expertly-timed midfield transfers the other week.  His tragic score of MINUS 7 [which will take some beating, we have to say] has meant a fall of four places in the league, handing second spot to Champions Inter Milandrover and a 1 point increase to the lead of Neil McConaghy over the rest of the league.

Mention must also go to non-fictional Jon King.  His Moobchester Utd narrowly missed out on the certificate by 1 point.  Nevertheless, he remains this week's biggest mover by heaving his Moobs up six places cupping them gently into Twelfth.  Nice.
