The Dancing Dodger

Fred Dodger dances a jig of delight

Old Trafford was treated to some incredible scenes last night as Lazio pulled off a famous win to secure their top flight status for another season.
Fighting a rearguard action akin to the British army at Rorkes drift the Lazio players gave their manager what he had been asking for. They needed results to go their way elsewhere but with so many teams in the mix, a win was always likely to be enough. The much maligned Dennis Aogo provided assists for Robben and Montilivo and, despite a late rally from the Manchester side, managed to cling on for the win.
Fred Dodger was carried from the pitch by his adoring players and a crowd of Lazio ultras prostrated themselves on their knees and shouted "All hail the great Khal" as he took the plaudits for what can only be described as a triumphant escape.
A beaming Dodger was interviewed pitch side and in his usual excitable manner had this to say; "This club was in freefall when I arrived. The squad was paper thin in some areas and top heavy in others. I've brought in some fighters and old heads to whip things into shape and some skillful lads who can provide that bit of extra magic you need to get the goals. It's been a tough road nonetheless and we've had some difficult moments along the way, particularly in recent weeks. The loss to inter on Sunday was a huge blow but we picked ourselves up, got back on the training ground and got stuck in.
I've no doubt we won't be in this position next season. There may be a few changes within the squad but these players are good enough to compete for a top 4 spot, no question about that. Let's not forget we've got the not insignificant matter of the SMFA Shield final next week against Chelsea too so after all this there even be an open top bus to be hired."
Stirring Stuff from Fred Dodger and who would bet against him?
