Week Twenty Nine

Afternoon all,

Well, well and well again. We have a game on our hands at last.

After willing the competition to challenge him most of the season, The Firth of First is finally getting his wish and his lead is cut to a mere 14 points by long time chaser, AF the Gardner, who bagged another 79 points to regain second spot.

Not quite enough to take the weekly prize which goes to Toby the Fuhrman with 81 points. Well done sir.

The golden boot competition is also fiercely contested with The Firth and JNA All Stars tied on 86 a piece.

At last, there is a change to the Starting XI competition with Lee Maytum knocking Richie Sutton off top spot.

Best of luck if you still have any players in the FA Cup.

TC

Week Twenty Eight

Good afternoon

As we get towards the business end of the season, the quality runners are heading up on the rails ready for the final sprint, and this year's competition is no different and could be the most exciting finish yet.

Another good week from Charles "call me charles" Divall sees the gap between first and Miloben in second narrow to just 27 points. Mr Gardner is clinging on in third.

A monster week from David Le Renard with 85 points bagged to take this week's prize. Well done sir.

Have a good weekend

TC

Week Twenty Seven

Afternoon all

A good week for the good ship SS Horney's who bagged 66 points to take the weekly prize of £10 together with the Super Week prize of a case of beer, care of our kind sponsors CBGA.

A good week for Mr Gardner who closes the gap between second and first by nine points to just 37 now. Miloben thrusts his jets on and moves into third deposing Cherry Boy into fourth.

This could get very exciting as we enter the last third of the season. I may have to write more than three paragraphs.

Over and Out

TC

Week Twenty Six

Morning all

Just when you think it's all over, we have an exciting night's action and it's game on again - no, not John Terry and Mrs Bridge but the marvellous world of FFL. A resounding victory for Everton together with Kung Fu Nani not helping SAF's blood pressure and The 'Pool coming unstuck at the kindergarten means we all may still have some interest in the outcome of the Title in March.

Week Twenty Six saw the good ship SS Horney back into port with 87 points to scoop the weekly prize. Well done sir.

The Firth of First still tops the pile and with a 48 point lead, i'm beginning to wonder if it's his year but just wonder how many transfers he has left.

The real action is between Second (jointly held by Cherry Boy and Gardner's World) and Tenth where less than 48 points separates these positions.

This week is a SUPER WEEK kindly sponsored by CBGA so use up those transfers in the 6th round of the FA Cup and with a bit of luck, you will win a case of beer.

Over & Out

TC

Week Twenty Five

Morning all

Congratulations to Mr R Sutton of Cornwall who bagged just 103 points to take this week's prize and move up to 15th place. Well done sir. He also leads the Starting XI competition.

No change at the top with the golden goal (J Frost) or the top three overall.

Best of luck this week

TC

Week Twenty Four little hours

Evening all

A fine week for the JNA All Stars who picked up 81 points and take this week's prize. Well done, their manager. Splendids all round.

Not much change to report at the top but Cherry Boy retakes second for Gardner's question time.

James Frost has sneaked into top place in the Golden Boot. How has this happened? He's from darkest Ipswich where nobody knows anything, especially not where the bodies are buried. Frosty, is someone ghost managing your team this year?

Richard Sutton can cheer himself out of the hospital with the news that he still leads the Starting XI comp. Look forward to having you back in action shortly.

TC

 

Week Twenty Three

Afternoon All

This week, it appears that Baronvonjohnbonbon has woken up from his Bavarian Castle and decided it's time to put down the Dachsund (on the floor rather than down) and lock up Hofmeister the Bear and begin a mammoth game of FFL catch up. It has started well with a monster 89 points to take this week's prize and lifted BVJBB up to, er ... 64th in the League.

The Firth of Fantasy still leads the way but Agardner jumps ahead of the Cherry Boy into second place.

Goal Splat XI now leads the Golden Goal outright by one whilst Ritchie Sutton enjoys top Starting XI status.

Good luck to those managers with players still in the FA Cup. Bad luck to those with Liverpool or Man Utd players.

TC

 

Week Twenty Two

Morning all from a snowy HQ - luckily, TC pre-empted the likely forthcoming defence budget cuts and managed to acquire some splendid snow leopard camouflage gear on ebay and so was a snug as a bug dug in a rug before being mugged, before heading off to the Emirates on Saturday to see the mighty Everton stuff Arsenal 2-2. 

With only a handful of games this week, points were hard to come by but it gives me great pleasure to announce that John Adams takes this week's prize with 38 points. Well done, sir. Goal Splat XI take the outright lead in the Golden Goal competition with 59, one ahead of his nearest rival.

The Firth of Fantasy still tops First place with Cherry boy looking dangerous in Second. Well done to Mr Tribe who defies his age (happy 40th) in this brutal physical battle of a league and currently lies in Third.

Sutton Hoo still tops the starting XI.

Lots of games are planned for this week including some FA Cup replays. You won't see many Manchester United players scoring points in the this competition - such a shame!

Over and out

TC

 

Week Twenty One

Many apologies for the lack of postings in recent weeks. I'm pleased to annouce that The Commander is back with us after being so deep undercover, he started to grow roots. Mission accomplished by all accounts.

In my absence, I note there has been a different leader nearly every week with new comer Matt Firth currently top of the pops.

John Adams and the Firth of Fife jointly top the Golden Goal with 56 each but there are plenty in contention.

It may be a new week, new month, new year and a new decade but Richard Sutton still leads the Starting XI competition.

Week Twenty One is kindly sponsored by Graftongate - many thanks to you. Congratulations to John Pritchard who takes this week's prize with 77 points. A case of beer and a tenner to you sir.

History tells me that this is the business end of the season with transfers and the FA Cup crucial to a good FFL run in. Best of luck.

TC

Week Twenty

Blimey, Well done King Solomon. 122 points in a week deserves a case of Wine, care of Messrs Farebrother (many thanks) and the weekly prize.

TC

Week Nineteen

Well done to Colin Graham who with a whopping 87 points takes this week's prize.

Week Eighteen

Another three way tie for the weekly prize but sadly for those involved, there's no roll over or Super Week prize to split, just a tenner

Well done to AF Gardner, R Gaherty and Ivor Smith who all bagged 40 points.

Week Seventeen

This week's prize is split between Mr C Divall and Mr D Tribe's second team. Well done to both.

Week Sixteen

Well done to Mr Brackley who, with 69 points, takes this week's prize

Ominous, very ominous

Week Fifteen

For the first time ever there is a three way tie for the weekly prize - well done to David Fox, Andrew Proctor and Will Heaney who all have the same team that bagged 75 points. This week was a roll over so £20 total prize pot.

This week was kindly sponsored by EPiC Energy so you will have to split the case of beer between you

Week Fourteen

No games this week so double bubble roll over in Week 15 and it's a Super Week, kindly sponsored by EPiC Energy

Week Thirteen

Well done to Richard Russell who takes this week's prize with 45 points

Week Twelve

Well done to Ben Elias who takes this weeks Prize with 68 points.

Week Eleven

More short and sweet commentary this week.

Well done to Alan Findlay, manager of Eddies Disco Pants, who bagged 51 points this week to take the weekly prize.

Good skills to note in despatches from Mr Baly who managed to lose two points. Very careless Nigel.

TC

Week Ten

Short and sweet this week but enough time to report the Weekly prize -

Joint congratulations to Mr Charles Gardener, manager of Dynamo Deepthroat, and Mr David Longbottom, manager of FC jaffa shots who take half a case of beer and £10 each.

TC

Week Nine

Nothing to report apart from Sir David of Beckham's man of the match award for his 17 minutes of action

Double rollover week in Week 10 with a case of beer up for grabs to, thanks to our kind sponsors, Jones Norris Adams.

Good luck

TC

Week Eight

Morning All

Richard "Dark Lord" Gaherty who has risen from weakness to great power and currently heads all three competitions. Well done sir.

Many have predicted this event for some time and there are those amongst us who will celebrate this coming but rest assured, a team of boffins from the South West are working hard to resist his attempts to take over the world and Wizards Wyatt, Fox and Sutton remain close. They believe they have cracked his codeword by analysing the team name of "willhewin". At first we thought this referred to "William Hewin", trusted special friend of the Master and one time very special friend of the late Diana, POW, but this week saw significant developments and the boffins now believe the team name is an anagram of "willi whine", a magical potion the Dark Lord is able to produce at leisure.

Matthew Firth takes this week's prize with a grand score of 63 points. Well done sir.

There are no games this week but Week Ten will be another Super Week kindly sponsored by Jones Norris Adams. A case of beer/potion will be provided together with a bumper double prize of £20.

Over and out.

TC

Week Seven

Morning all

Another week and another new leader with Mr Richard "Lord Voldemort" Gaherty bagging 57 points to go two clear at the top with a total of 307. Well done sir.

Voldy's haul wasn't quite enough to take the Super Week prize of a case of beer (kindly provided by Messrs Jackson Barrett & Gass, the finest of fine solicitors) and the usual £10, which I am pleased to announce goes to Mr Ben Elijah Elias. Luckily, I may be on hand to award this prize in person and assist with quality control. Well done sir.

David Fox leads the golden goals with 24. Le Renard is one clear of Carlo Bankofchero and two ahead of the chasing pack.

After dominating all competitions last week, Mr Sutton still clings on to the hope of glory in the starting XI trophy. At least Plymouth won their first game of the season last night to compensate eh?

The forthcoming weekend's fixtures are nicely split so there's plenty of opportunities to score loads of points this week. Good luck.

TC

Week Six

Dear all

There must be something good in those carrotts as Richard Sutton takes the weekly prize for the second successive week with a score of 70 points and extend his lead at the top to 20 points. Well done sir.

He's also top of the Golden Goals with 21, two ahead of the main pack, and top of the Starting XI.

Luckily it's SUPER WEEK NUMBER TWO this weekend with a case of the finest ale to be won, care of Jackson Barrett & Gas.

There are lots of games on Saturday to follow with opportunities for top up points from Sunderland vs Wolves on Sunday and Man City vs West Ham on Monday night.

TC

Week Five

Morning all

The Carrot Crunchers now head the table thanks to a whopping 47 points this week to take their total score to 209. Mr Sutton's team also take the first Super Week prize of a case of beer kindly sponsored by CBGA together with a double bubble weekly prize of £20. Well done sir.

After several heated phone calls, I am pleased to announce that the FFL governing body have now decided that having a Golden Boot and Starting XI competition was a good idea after all for each Super League and this has now been set up. Better late than never. The JNA Superleague Committee have reacted by amending the structure slightly and there will be now prizes for the top three places of the Golden Boot and the winner of the Starting XI competition. The League prizes will now go down to 10th place (rather than 12th) and the amounts have been amended slightly. Scroll down for further information.

The Carrot Crunchers also lead the Golden Boot competition with 16 scores, one ahead of Richard Divall in second with the pack on 14.

Monsieur Le Grice heads the Starting XI competition.

There's a full schedule this weekend so another opportunity for Everton and Falkirk to lose and Oxford to keep up their good form.

Over and Out

TC

Week Four

Good afternoon

No action this week due to pointless Internationals but next week is a Super Week with a case of beer available from our sponsors CBGA.

It's also a rollover week so the prize money doubles to £20.

TC

Week Three

Afternoon all

Monsieur Le Grice is still leading the way with 176 points, but there is a healthy pack in close attendance.

The good ship SS Horney appears to have sprung a leak so far this season having only mastered 46 points, and lies at the bottom of the JNA Superleague ocean.

Good news for Sean Barrow, manager of Irish Eyes, who has bagged 62 points to move up to 42nd and claim this week's prize. Well done sir and top of the morning to you too.

Week Four is an International Week so no games.

Week Five will be a rollover week with a prize of £20 on offer to the manager with the highest score.

Week Five will also be the first SUPER WEEK kindly sponsored by CGBA.

Over and out

TC

Week Two

Morning all

The winner of this Week's prize is King Solomon, manager of Martin Peters FG who has taken advantage of Burnley's excellent defence to post 98 points. Well done sir.

Leading the way at the top of the League is Martin Le Grice, manager of Leggies Onze with 134 points. He has opened up a dix points lead over former winner Alan Spencer and le peleton behind - i think this is the first time a Frenchie has topped the pile in the JNA Superleague. Vive le France and well done monsieur.

There are no passwords this year.

Over and out.

TC

Week One

The winner of this week's prize is James Frost, manager of Frosty's Fantasy Sky Channel Number 533

Well done sir.
