Chopper blow heightens club versus company row

Chopper returned from the consultant's 5-a-side tournament hobbling last night as his suspected metatarsal fracture threw oil on the club versus company row threatening to engulf football. Going over awkwardly during a routine challenge, chopper struggled on before being replaced several minutes later.
An ice-pack and several bottles of an American aniseptic called "Budweiser" saw him miss 2 games, but fight his way back to fitness for the later games. It is thought he came back too soon and was spotted hobbling around in London's West End first thing this morning.
Mojo manager Ben Goran-Erikkson is thought to be less than impressed that his stalwart defender had risked his long-term fitness for the sake of meaningless end of tournament games. Chopper was unavailable for comment, but a source close to the Mojo utility man said, "Chopper knows he could be facing a lengthy lay-off, and is just relieved that Mojo qualified for Europe so he can avoid the close-season rigours of the Intertoto Cup currently being suffered by clubs like Newcastle." The source added, "he feels he has let the manager down." Bennybobs, as he is affectionately known, was recently named as Godfather to Chopper's child and Chops had promised to curb his language and his wild tackles in a bid to set a good example. News that a two footed lunge - for which Chops escaped the wrath of the ref soley on the sympathy vote, is unlikely to go down well in the halls of Beckenham Palace.

Menawhile, other members of the Mojo squad enjoyed an evenign of 20-20 cricket at the Oval, while keeper Sleggchenko continues his scouting mission in Berlin with fellow Mojophiles Alan Shearer and Ray Stubbs. Reports that Shearer and fellow pundit Mark Lawrensen could be talked out of retirement are, however, wide of the mark.
