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!

Bloody Cheek!



Can you believe it? The schoolmarms at FIFA have issued a warning to England not to manipulate their game with Sweden to ensure a 2nd round game with Ecuador. Bloody cheek to suggest that when confronted with the lineup that Ecuador played today. Is anyone accusing them of tanking their game with the Germans by resting 6 of their starters?

If I was running the FA, I'd demand an statement of apology within 12 hours for the harmful insinuation that England alone would resort to this sort of tactic while suggesting that those fat bastards at FIFA would do better to start concentrating on how to find a few referees with the judicial temperament rather than the catastrophic collection of rule readers that have poisoned an otherwise good start to this world cup.

Here's a link to that letter of warning

Hilarious cheek, and of course a moot point now. I'll take a one or two nil win today with Roon and Owen scoring.

Baddiel and Skinner have a ditty on their latest podcast, sung to the tune of "Michael Row Your Boat:"

Michael Owen's gonna score - allelujah!
Michael Owen's gonna score - allelujah!

i'm going to be watching the race for second place that would face argentina in the 2nd round to see if those FIFA bastards warn them off an Anschluss type of effort. what you want to wager that because it's not england, they'll be no such type of worry?

honestly, brian barwick or whoever it is should be making a hell of a stink over this. what else could it be called but a move disruptive to the preparations of a participant with no previous for anything like this sort of thing? some fat FIFA sod's head should roll. after the match, i'll email nick and steven.
