Staccies finally win something

Every year the best and brightest of the Stallions battle it out for Fantasy Football supremacy. This is where the brains of the Stallions are revealed. There is only ever one true champion (except for that time when Tim somehow snuck an underdog victory - but this year he has folded like QPR).

So with 2 rounds to go, I think its time for everyone to admit defeat and offer their concession speeches. There will be those who proclaim that they don't care, lost interest and haven't changed their team for weeks (these will be the same people who sign up first next season and will be all in until they find themselves at the bottom of the table and 'lose interest' again).

Then there are those who tried really hard but just do not have the chops and plain suck (Rauru, Nick). To give some credit, there have been some challengers this season - who have at least raised my eyebrow occasionally - Gerald, and especially 'the little engine that could' Heath. He's played well (including an inspired captaincy of Charlie Austin on a double game week which brought him within 40 points of the untouchable leader.) There is even the slightest of chances that with 2 weeks to go and 50 points to make up he might just be able to nudge ahead - but that's a bit like saying Liverpool might win the Premiership.

So here's how it looks. The reason Tim plays so hard is that Rauru always jokingly promises that the winner can play striker for the Stallions. Since I've started striker the last couple of games (with a Charlie Austin-like goal and assist to the good)  I don't even need that charity.

Until next year losers, and can we please get some new contenders ...
