Legoland FC Secure Fifth Title By Trouncing Lazio

A crushing home win over a lacklustre Lazio allowed Legoland FC to claim their fifth Serie A title since 1993 in front of their adoring fans at the Partizan stadium today. Led by their hero Romario, Legoland FC took the lead early on and never looked like surrendering the points against Mrs Sega's stumbling buffoons. Indeed, Sega's stumbling buffoons buffooned their way throughout every one of the 90 minutes to the amusement of the LFC supporters.

With two games left LFC had the possibility of securing the title with a draw against Lazio if other results went their way but would guarantee their place in the history books with a win. In the fifth minute Romario set the Blues on their way to that win. Playing in his second last ever game for LFC he showed little of his age as he skipped past a stumbling Cosmin Contra to shoot home past Christian Abbiati in the Lazio goal. The goal sent the capacity crowd into wild celebrations, so severe that it resulted in damage to the stadium. A quarter of an hour later and the party truly began when striking partner Ronaldo made it 2-0. The Fat Ronaldo netted his 10th of the season in his first campaign with the Blues and will no doubt be an increasingly important part of the club's arsenal upon Romario's retirement. In the 37th minute Raul, LFC's leading scorer this term with 16 league goals, out-jumped Paolo Negro and headed home LFC's third to seemingly wrap up the game before the half-hour break.

Some pride was restored for Lazio early on in the second period when Tomasso Rocchi fired home past Toldo to make it 3-1 but Lazio showed no further threat for the remainder of the match. Indeed, LFC missed a host full of chances to add to their lead with Pepe, Jérome Leroy, Romario, Denilson and Filippo Savi all missing great opportunities. Romario, however, stepped up to the pulpit and secured the loudest cheer of the day when with four minutes remaining he tapped home LFC's fourth after a cross from Raul. Romario ran to the corner flag as parts of the stadium roof collapsed due to the supporter's celebrations.

Speaking to the press after the game Romario said, "this is one of the greatest days of my life. I'm a super player. Wow, I'm fantastic. Bet you wish you were me and not you". He added that he felt "great to be so humble" and that, "I pretty much have won this league on my own, did you see my goals?". Manager Jose Mourinho also praised Romario saying that "he proved his value to the team yet again this season and will be sorely missed in the next campaign when he hangs up his boots". Mourinho also had a parting shot at LFC's cross-town rivals saying that, "Legoland United will win nothing this year, Ha Ha". The chasing pack had mixed fortunes. Ajax Skerries, the most likely to challenge LFC to the title, saw their title hopes go up in smoke by being held scoreless with Port Villa. Inter Police challenge also ended with a disappointing 2-2 draw against LEGO European Cup finalists Juventus. Legoland United and Celebs did all they could securing 4-0 and 2-0 wins over Milan and Marino respectively. United's away win over Milan sees the Rossoneri relegated.

Also joining Milan in Serie B will be Foggia whose fate was sealed with their 1-1 draw against Sampdoria and Robin Rangers 0-0 draw with Roma. The last relegation place is yet to be confirmed but Sampdoria need Robin Rangers to lose and beat Republic away by an all but impossible 22 goal scoreline. In Serie B, Napoli fell out of the promotion places for the first time since October after a 2-1 loss to Robin Ravers. Black Fortress Barbarians went top with a 0-0 to third placed Boca Libertas whilst Fiorentina smashed 6 past Sea Hawks in a 6-1 victory to go second. With one game remaining, the top five teams all have 65 points and are all in for a dramatic Sunday week. Stuart Spacers, with 63 points, are the only other Serie B team with any chance this season of a place in Legoland's top flight.
