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!

Cashley on Record




Ah, it could have been so different, but ultimately, I'm sick of him and want him gone at any price now. Now he's got a book out that purports to trash the club as well. Bugger, bugger, bugger-off!!!

I think the Arse should get rid of the whole squad and start it again.
I mean... they are far too French for my liking!!!

Actually, if you look at the side that turned out against Zagreb the other night, I don't think there was a single Frenchman on the pitch, Dave. With Pires and Vieira now gone, there aren't too many Frenchmen left at the Arse. Maybe that's why they want Ribery in to beef up the Francophone contingent.

As for the Cashley saga, here's my question: why are Chelski nickel and diming the Arse? I know 25 million is silly money, but - what the hell? - Roman's got it, right? I mean, they paid 22 mill for SWP last summer and then sat his bum on the bench! Does this mean that Roman is finally skint?

I agree. Chelsea are being jerks because as a result of tapping him up, Ashley's behavior at the club has deteriorated and he's become a want-away player. Now that he's a thorn in our side, Chelsea think that they can hold us over a barrel on his valuation. He had a decent world cup so how come after their initial offer of 25mil are they lowballing us down to 15mil?

But it's not necessarily only Chelsea that's holding this up. Cashley's agent Barrett is in for 10% of the fee which Cashley has always maintained should be paid by the club involved and not by him.

It's disgusting.

A funny story from the World Soccer Daily: Steven Cohen was out in Chicago for the All-Star Game festivities last weekend and was hanging about the Chelski hotel when he saw some of the young players in the lobby. Approaching one, Steven asked:

Steven: What's your name, lad?

Young Player: Woods.

Steven: Michael Woods?

Young Player: Yeah.

Steven: Oh, you're the one we tapped up from Leeds!

Young Player: (Laughing)

At least Steven's candid about his side's crimes. Let's hope Ken Bates nobbles them with the FA.
