Legoland FC head coach Patrice Loko has had a disappointing start to his managerial career seeing his side go down 1-0 to Lazio at the Olimpico. With the game remaining scoreless and 10 minutes left on the clock, Lazio midfielder Cristian Ledesma capitalised on some poor defending to head home a Goran Pandev corner kick. The win was Lazio's fourth on the trot, all achieved without a manager since the dismissal of Delio Rossi.

Speaking to the press after the game, Patrice Loko was philosophical at the loss. "Who is to say we lost today, perhaps we won as we have garnished new experiences from this battle of sporting minifigs. To say this result is a loss does not wash with me as I know we have picked up points, perhaps not on the playing field but mental points of note. Come hell or high water this club are point getters, we get the point, the point of points."

Loko, who again denied being crazy, faced some criticism for dropping in-form midfielder Patrick Monny-Bille to give a starting place to Antonio Nocerino but the crazy 'fig defended his decision. "Monny-Bille is a great midfielder but I am a 'fig who believes strongly in crop rotation. Serie A may not be used to this style but change is good and someday pigs will fly."

Back in the world of sanity, Legoland United's 0-0 stalemate with Inter Police actually stretched the club's lead at the top of the table as all of the chasing pack suffered defeats. Ajax Skerries were embarrassed losing 1-0 to Greentown Athletic and have now gone 4 games without a win, the team's worst run of form this term. Also suffering from embarrassing moments this evening is Republic after their surprise loss to Legoland Town. The 2-1 win for Town was their first back-to-back Serie A wins since September and is a major boost to their fight to retain top division status.

In Castleland, BFB went down 2-1 at the Dark Stadium to visitors Port Villa despite the pirates being down to 10 'figs since the 37th minute when Andrea Dossena was red carded. The loss heaps pressure on 77 year old Vujadin Boškov who never seems to be far from a war of words with owner Claudia D'Impaciente. "She should butt out" Boškov told NTL television before hobbling away on his walking stick.

At the wrong end of the table Lion Lakers were thumped 4-0 at home by a rampant Parma led by former Foggia hitfig Davide Sinigaglia. Three goals by Sinigaglia has seen the 'fig climb to joint second in the scoring charts with 10 goals to his name.

In Serie B, table toppers Third Division UASL played out a 2-2 draw with promotion hopefuls and fifth place Stuart Spacers. Second place Atlas Bell remain 4 points adrift of the TDs after suffering a 2-3 loss to Foggia. AC Milan stay in third position, the final promotion slot, after earning a 2-0 win over Sarafield Town Lock at the San Siro.
