Sam and his dog

Sam Allardyce is walking his dog in the park and lets him off the lead.
The dog waddles off into the bushes and when he emerges is holding an
old golden lamp in his mouth. Sam takes it from him and gives it a rub
to clear the dirt away. To his amazement out pops a genie, who tells him
that he will grant him one wish, no matter what it is. Sam thinks about
it for a while then looks down at his trusty old dog and comes to a
decision. My wish is that one day Rover here will win best in show at
Crufts.

The genie takes a look at the dog, shakes his head and
replies ‘come on Sam. Let’s be realistic. He’s got three legs, he looks
about 15 and he’s clearly got fleas. I’m really sorry. I know I’m a
genie but there’s just no chance of that happening. How about another
wish. Anything you like. Just name it'.

Sam thinks for a while, then replies: ‘Well, I’d love to keep hold of Scotty Parker and maybe bring in Bellamy or Joe Cole’.

The genie thinks about it for a while.........

'Tell you what Sam, let’s take another look at that dog'.
