Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

The F.A. Cup Live!

Yes, it's Cup Final time. The biggest day in the English football season. The Hammers vs. the Scouse. Since I'm a cheapskate, I'll be skipping the PPV and going straight for the on-line sources. Join me in posting on the game. Come on you Hammers!

I should have forked over the PPV fee for this. Bugger. I predicted a goaless affair a la the Hammer's promotion qualifier last year.

Is it extra time or straight to pens. Hope it's the former.

C'mon Teddy. Another crap one please you old tosser.

He managed to score a cracker of an equalizer so maybe it's fatigue or cramp? Hope it's not serious.

Prediction. Teddy Sheringham blows it for the Hammers by needlessly bringing down Morientes in the box with one of the legs of his Zimmer frame. Gerrard limps up and bashes the winner and gets his hat-trick.

The full 30. They gave up Golden Goal and Silver Goal.

I hate Sheringham because he's always giving it large about how he grew up hating us, loves scoring against us, wouldn't play for us (who's asking you old f****r?). I'd love to be able to just remember the summer of 96 and his play in the Euros, but he goes on and on about it so yeah, hate him. He should contract gangrene.

There's another one that I can't stand. My Irons friend John Sidders last year said that they'd never win anything as long as they kept Repka and Dailly around. They've shifted Repka. Now, it should be Dailly's turn.



He should begin every match with an automatic yellow and a muzzle.

Even including the shelling, there were fewer injuries at Ypres than this.

I dunno. Ferninand DNA is pretty stupid. Or damaged from all that Ganja!

Is Cisse in the French squad? Only the silly sod's got himself taped up so that he can play on with a dodgy hammy! That's 6 weeks layoff and good-bye Deutchland for him.

First mention I've seen of what's ailing Gerrard. They're saying cramp. A little isotonic and he may be ok.

Cisse was injured so much of the year. Actually, wasn't it hamstring trouble. Wiltord's not as good as Cisse, but he's luckier. Was for us the the flipping headless poulet.

Cool. My Teddie quip got published in the play-by-play on the FootballUnlimited site.

None of our guys ever leave on good terms.


Look at how bitter Alan Smith, Ian Wright, and even Tony Adams are.


You have to be personality-free like Dixon to ever be invited back.

Random bloggers? Where

Wrghty told SWP to join Chelsea in his Mail or Mirror column.

Adams wanted a spot in the coaching set up only to be sent away without a firm offer of a testimonial.

Bob Dahlgren is the most canny judge of the game ever

does that answer your question?

The more I listen to Nick and Steven the less I think they've ever watched a game of football. They're living in an echo chamber of their praises.


Teddie scored. Crap!

It is now. Too bad. Really wanted the Hammers to win, with Teddie failing miserably.

Crap

Obviously the strikers who've been running the most and suffering the fatigue heaviest aren't up to it.

Right. I'm off to a work colleagues picnic. Cheers!

Wish I would have seen the game live. I was running errand all morning and check the web here and there. The blog will be cool during the WC.

Great result (from the lone Liverpool fan!)
