It has been 5 weeks of ups and downs, bloodbaths and lucky escapes but we finally reached our final two last week after just 4 weeks of knockout stages. Last Man Standing 2023 was tougher than most years with the big teams being more inconsistent and the weaker teams being , well , better. We also had the world cup thrown in for good measure which caused some of the top teams to have more injuries and fatigue than expected in January.

So the last remaining contestants standing were

@tengolotodo and @hamza-art

Selections for the Final

@tengolotodo selected Chelsea to beat Southampton.

@hamza-art kept their trump card Man City for the final. They were to play Nottingham Forest.

Both teams played on Saturday 18th February at 15.00.

Competition Results

I had the post written and ready to allocate the prizes. Chelsea were losing 1 - 0. Man City were up 1-nil. I may as well write the post I said. There was only 6 minutes to go in each game.

The results are in. ........
