I've felt like Conte this season not sir Alex leading from almost the start to finish. Any chance of some competition next season??? The kohns have now won the last 3 titles so the kirkmans need more preparation work than ever. Me and sam will continue our booze approach. Can't wait for next season for the Yorkshire Championship to start and laugh at all those deluded piggy fans thinking they've got a chance. WAWAW

Well it turned out that Fox News got it right !!

After a high scoring wins for both team in the semi finals, the final was a low-scoring, dour affair.

Ben’s team — Free Full Backs — had a near full house of zero points, with only Delli Alli getting 2 for an assist.

Bodhinaga’s — A Mahrez a Day — did a little better, with points for Fuchs (3), Walcott (3), Ozil (2) offset by Cahill and Clichy each scoring minus —1

So the final score was:

Free Full Backs 2 A Mahrez a Day 6


So, commiserations to Ben on a near miss (a great effort considering he had so many injured players), BUT......

Congratulations to Bodhinaga on getting his hands on the Cup once again. It may be the first leg of a glorious double, though Sir Alex may have something to say about that (as indeed may Jamie).

So that’s it for another Cup year — a pat on the back for the marvellous organisers. See you all ay the next auction.

Well it was back to the quill pen and abacus to work out the scores of the two semi-final matches.

The results (as taken from the Classic Fantasy League web site) are:

Zlat and the BainesStalk (Jamie) 0 vs A Mahrez a Day (Bodhinaga) 14

Cech —2 Fuchs 3
Baines —2 Clichy 3
Sterling 2 Mahrez 3
Sigurdson 2 Lukaku 3
Cabaye 2

Coffin Dodgers (Rob) 0 vs Free Full backs (Ben) 18

O’Shea -1 Tadic 7
McAuley -1 Arnautovic 6
Crouch 2 Alli 5


So, convincing wins for Ben and Bodhinaga mean we have the Kohn/Kirkman final that Fox News predicted, and the footballing world wanted to see.

Next stop Wembley ------> Final to be played over the weekend of Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd April. May the best team win, AND may the web site be fixed by then !!

Well, well, well.........

Some real shocks in the Quarters.......

A bad week for Ted as his team gets kicked out by Rob’s Coffin Dodgers — WHAT !!!

Current FFL CUP holder (of the last 2 years) Ed, loses a Cup match for the VERY first time - OMG !!

Long Pants out of fashion - OH NO !!

and A MAHREZ a DAY Helps you work rest and, definitely, play - Who came up with that one ?

Results:

Coffin Dodgers 4 Turn the other Loftus -2

Good Evans that’s Long -1 Free Full Backs 3

Long Pants 5 Zlat and the Beanstalk 9

Tillys All Stars 3 A Mahrez a Day 17 (yes, Seventeen !)

So, we’ll get a different cup winner this year (get polishing the cup Ed).

The Semi Finals will take place over the weekend of 4th/5th/6th March and will be between:

Coffin Dodgers vs Free Full Backs
Zlat and the Beanstalks vs A Mahrez a Day


All the best
