However, EIB's Head Coach Pista remained upbeat about his team's chances in today's pre-match conference.
"We're still in with a mathematical chance. All we need is a +148 Gameweek differential for the next four Gameweeks and the title is ours."
When asked by a reporter if there was more chance of Hell freezing over, the Sun falling from the Sky, and the Earth to stop spinning, he replied "Possibly."
So with the overall competition nearly wrapped-up, I had a quick look at the personal standings:
1. 1916 - FC Bennweg-Zeis 1921 (+68 )
2. 1848 - Spiritwalkers (+37)
3. 1811 - Charlotte's Carnage
I do genuinely think the gold, silver and bronze will be decided between these three teams. But elsewhere, there are some intriguing positional battles going on.
Unfortunately, IGM also occupy the bottom position:
22. 1368 - LONG ISLAND UTD
Whilst Hom is facing another Derbyesque experience, and relegation from the top flight, I can assure him that myself and Pista are working tirelessly behind the scenes to negotiate a spot for him in the Dollar vs. Bucks Fizz inter forum trophy next season.
C'mon IGM!
Good luck all.
