Excel-lent

Some nosey parker has submitted a Freedom of Guff Information request, so we here at the usually secretive WorldGuff Towers are pulling back our data curtains. See all the entries here

Standings

#worldguff industries have teasing and suspense as core corporate values, so we are concealing the points. But these are the top 10 guffers, in rank order, going into the final game...

Guffer	Points
Dan McGrath	???
ITS ME dAVEY C	???
Tom Ralston	???
Keith Pringle	???
Dean Robson	???
Paul Weigh	???
Alejandro	???
Darren Hanson	???
Nik Goodman	???
Tony power	???

That German Midfield, yesterday

We answer the BIG questions

Semi-famous

Everyone loves a semi 

But who will prevail? Who has the strength and ruthless streak to win this brutal Guff of Thrones?

Today we look at some of the GUFF ELITE. These hard-boiled guerrillas of guff are sitting cockily in the finely upholstered, dodo-skinned seats at the worldguff top table.

Wipe your feet and watch your mouth, for we are in the presence of greatness. Who are these people? What are their secrets? And no, you can't touch them. 

The contenders

Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of guff

NOW SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME

YOU'VE ALL GONE SOFT. MY OLD MUM COULD GET MORE POINTS THAN YOU LOT. IT'S WHAT I CALL PATHETIC.

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO KEEP BANGIN' IT DOWN THE GUFF OF UNCERTAINTY.

DIG IN!

I'VE NEVER LIKED THE DUTCH. VERY SOFT. THEY'RE NO GOOD AT CRICKET, UNSPORTING IN PENALTY SHOOT-OUTS AND THEY'VE NICKED BLACKPOOL'S KIT. 

I DO LIKE THAT KATY PERRY, THOUGH.

Le Grand Départ

Au revoir

The French shuffled out of the tournament with a indifferent shrug of a performance. It did little to dispel images of primates with white flags and camembert.

For the next manager - let's get a German.
