Title race goes down to wire as 'Specials sink Dynamos

Following this setback to his team's title hopes, Dynamos supremo Larry Bednapp refused to back down in his spat with the national team coach over the status of Telesavalas Rudder’s knee. Rudderless tonight the Dynamos floundered and fell 5 goals behind early doors. The home side played exhibition football approaching arrogant levels of showboating in the early stages. Tweaks to the rules regarding high balls continued to cause a degree of confusion not least in the mind of referee Jorge Satantango. Gizzabaldi was cautioned for throwing the ball into the face of Burritahhh!!!! while Canwinjones was lucky not to see red for a tackle on Cahillisto. A late rally by the Dynamos got them back to 7-5 with Garrattino scoring the goal of the match with a run from his own goal-line followed by a stepover and a showboating finish inspired by Grafite of Wolfsberg (isn't it?) in their 5-1 demolition of Bayern Munich a few days earlier (see link below). Cahillisto found his range again with a top-drawer turn to score from 25 yards. Gilesinho and Al Kinghali however both had a bit of an ‘Alves’. “It was a game of two Alves tonight Gary” opined Andy Townsend. “Alves 1 and Alves 2”. Garth Crooks put the quip to the strikers . Gilesinho said he "would take it in his stride. I can take a lot of positives out of this one". Al Kinghali vowed to "let my feet do the talking, and anyway Andy Townsend has been waiting all season to try this one on. Bad puns won't hurt a player of my caliber. I refuse to stoop to his level".

Goal of the season?:
