Having leapfrogged Crumbs Dm just ten days ago, Keane As Mustard are now cautiously looking over their shoulders. Ash is still sitting in second place and is refusing to give up the title after outgunning his opponent for the first time in weeks. Twelve points is all that separates them, and unless one of them can pull away over the next month, it looks like this year's championship is going down to the wire.

Of course, that means that the rest of us will be scrapping over what's left in terms of glory and Spakatak Toxteth are looking good having climbed two places to third this week while the Soft Centres are proving that they're no longer the pushovers that they once were and are just below in fourth. They obviously made the most of their transfers and are slowly pulling away from 1897 - The Golden Year and 1FC Laundromat and into the money.

Neil realised that the only way he was ever going to win was if he killed everyone above him...

Elsewhere Gazton Villa crashed out of the top ten with a bang while Hicky's Heroes are enjoying the type of comeback not seen since Jesus told Lazarus to stop laying about the house making the place look untidy. The Heroes are now in the money thanks to the Fair Play Award but they'll be looking to make a push into the Top Ten just to prove a point. Their score of 111 points was the highest of the last week while Duck Utd's 23 was the lowest.

Crazyhorse FC, meanwhile, seem very comfortable with their station in life and are rooted to 19th spot. I can exclusively reveal that their manager has given up on this season and is already making plans to retire from the Fantasy Football world for good unless his side can reach the top 18.

One team dreaming of a top 18 finish is Oh Sheffield but they're probably happy in the knowledge that at least they'll get their money back if they stay where they are - that's if they've already paid of course. Our resident accountant has been just as bad this year in collecting people's subs but at least he hasn't spent this year's winnings on beer like he did last year…

That's it for this week. If Ash goes top after the European action in midweek we'll have another update of Friday. Until then, let us just pause for a moment and reflect on just how well we did at the Winter Olympics considering the United States cheated almost everyone else out of a medal…
