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!

And Liverpool have already dispatched with the woeful Charlton 3-0 - and it was at Charlton's own patch! They're done for.

The most intriguing fixture is Sol Campbell and Pompey returning to Arsenal.

Colchester are flying at the moment and they're one-up on Stoke, a goal that puts them in the playoff spots.

Bloody hell - Hull have taken the lead against Cardiff. They've closed the gap at the bottom with Leeds.

Hull 2 Cardiff 0!

Btw, in case you were curious, Southend got a point from Luton in last night's game. They're up to 16 points.

Still no goals in the Premiership - greatest show on earth, eh?

Plenty of goals in the Coke - Norwich are now one up away to Soton.

Arsenal have gone a goal down to Pompey. What a shocker!

And of course my boys are on the wrong side against Ipswich - big surprise.

At half time, the Blades have taken the lead against Wigan and Reading are one up on Blackburn.

Despite Barnsley being down to Leicester, Leeds are down to second bottom again.

Jesus, Pompey have got another goal against Arsenal!

Newcastle have taken the lead against Watford.

Fortunately some of the other results are going well for us in the Coke. QPR and Barnsley both behind.

Adebayor has got one back for the Arse. Game on!

West Brom are thumping Coventry - it's 4-0!

Cardiff have pulled one back against Hull.

And Arsenal have pulled off an amazing turnaround in two minutes. Gilbo has equalized! Can they go on and win it now?

Oh, the refereee in the Wigan-Sheffield game is playing silly buggers. First he gave the Blades a dodgy looking penalty for hand ball. Then after talking to the assistant, he's waved it off. Now, there's a drop ball in the area! Expect fireworks from Neil Warnock. Yes, he's having a "chat" with Paul Jewell.

Watford has scratched back an equalizer against Newcastle.

And to rub salt into our wounds, Hull have scored a fourth goal. and it's Michael Bridges who's scored it. Yes, that Michael Bridges, who spent three years on the physio's bench at Leeds.

Looks as if Obafemi Martins has won it for Newcastle against Watford. Watford and Charlton are surely down at this point.

The third spot is still a big question mark and will likely be so until the last day of the season, with Sheffield United, West Ham, Blackburn and several others scrapping away to avoid the drop.

Arsenal-Pompey has ended up 2-2. I thought the Arsenal might've gone on to win it after scoring those two goals in quick succession. But a point keeps them fourth behind Liverpool, Chelski and United.

The Leeds match is still going on, no doubt due to the eight yellow cards and one red (for Kevin Nicholls).

Come on you Whites!

It's all over at Portman Road. Ipswich have beaten us 1-0. Well done, Blubber Boy! You have the bragging rights for this weekend.

The Super Blues have been anything but super this year. If Leeds can't beat the Tractor Boys now, they're in for a world of hurt.

Bob, it may be time to prepare for League One.
