For the second year running, with 10 games left to play, a New Zealand side is five points clear at the top of the A-League Men's ladder and looking likely to win their first domestic silverware. The other Kiwi outfit is struggling to keep pace with the top six, with a playoff spot looking increasingly unlikely. But if you had suggested 12 months ago that the fledgling Auckland FC would be the table-toppers and Wellington Phoenix the strugglers, most would have brushed you off as, at the very least, eccentric.
(I noticed in passing another media reference to the "Black Knights" - if they insist on pushing the BK branding we should just starting calling them Burger Kingz.)
