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!

Big Saturday!!


An early start for me.
I will be listening to United play Bolton on ManUtd.com in five minutes and then follow all the big games later on.
After that, I will be clearing my driveway after 18 INCHES OF SNOW!!!

Blogger United We Stand said...

G. Neville is down hurt... uh oh for Man Utd and England

9:56 AM

He is coming off

9:58 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Blogger United We Stand said...

Bolton can't contain Ronaldo

10:10 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

PARK SCORES AGAIN
UNTED 3 Bolton 0
Only 25 minutes gone.

We used to struggle against Bolton. They have outscored them 7-0 so far
They are England's fifth best team if you look at the table

10:15 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Again, I will repeat what I said a few weeks ago.

People say that United have not had a blip. I think they just came out of one.
The thing with United's blip was they kept winning

10:22 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

In to stoppage time. Untied are coasting.
Preston have scored at Deepdale. Burnley could be in trouble

10:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time at OT

I am a happy camper

Second half has begun

10:57 AM

Lobs it wide by a yard

11:02 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

After an hour, Kuszczak has yet to make a save

11:10 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Smiffy about to make an appearance with fifteen minutes to go

Free kick chance for Bolton... Speed puts well off target

11:18 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Smith comes on for Ronaldo

11:18 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

11:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That's it at Old Trafford.
Manchester United 4 Bolton Wanderers 1

Nine Points clear for a couple hours.

11:42 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Morning, Dave. That's a really impressive victory against Bolton, who are no mugs, with the injury woes that you lot are having presently. I'll say it again - you can call the engravers. I don't see you dropping the points.

11:43 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You know I have to say it...
COME ON YOU BLADES!!!!!!

11:44 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

That's not nice - you know how I feel about Neil Warnock.

11:47 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Welcome Robert.
Should we open a new post or leave it as this

11:48 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Let's leave this one as is, eh?

Burnley are in complete free fall. They haven't won since Christmas.

Should be interesting to see how Luton get on today against the Tractor Boyz, after having sacked Mike Newell yesterday.

11:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I refuse to claim victory yet.
We still have Blackburn at home(Sparky always give us trouble)
Pompey away(they give us a game at Fratton)
Shef Utd home- should win
Chelsea away- no comment
Boro home- always give us trouble
Everton away- we've lost there
Citeh away- local deby
West Ham home- they will need a win or have no pressure

I want Chelski to drop the points.

11:52 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Didn't you guys get crushed at home to Southend?

Payback time

11:53 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, there are still a few hoops to jump through, but this was a big win. Now you have almost two weeks because of the International break to get your players back fit and from suspension.

So, get clearing that snow, boyo. Weathere report from FL - 78 and sunny.

11:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Good news... Kathy is doing the driveway!!
I am sitting at my computer, listening to talksport and watching Reading Pompey on FSC

11:54 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, they did us over. We need to make mincemeat of the Shrimpers today. I want to see eight lashed past them.

11:54 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Just a little braggin here... we played a playoff game on Thursday night.
We won 7-4... I scored SIX.
I couldn't stop scoring.

11:54 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Blimey, mate. You've still got it. I'm playing on Tuesday night. First play-off game. Wish me luck.

11:56 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Get a goal for me
I had been playing like crap before but this week was great.
I hit the upper corner on two shots.. one from a free-kick.
All of them were great goals.
We played like crap during the season and finished sixth out eight. So, we were playing the third seed. The top four seeds all lost.

12:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Can you listen to Leeds on the net?

United's was free a couple of years ago but then they started charging. This season it is free again. All I have to do is register.

12:01 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Did you rip off your shirt and jump into the stands after the free kick, Tevez-style? You know that's a bookable offense, lad.

12:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Drogba is on the bench at The Bridge
Sheva and Kalou are up front

12:04 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good start from Reading. I can barely see the penalty area from the shade.

12:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I agree, can someone turn off the Sun

12:06 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Reading could've had two already. Calamity doesn't look happy.

12:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea 1 SU 0 after three minutes.
Sheva

12:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sunderland have a lead against Hull

12:07 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yes, good old Keano. I was hoping for a good result today. Now, come on you Whites!

12:08 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Nicky Shorey for England? I don't think so. Is John Salako on crack?

12:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Probably
Good chance for Pompey. He should have done better

12:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Did you see the England squad? I didn't.

12:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yup, Barry, Barton and SWP all dropped.
Neville is now out after today's ankle ligament injury

12:16 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Sounds good to me.

From 365: "1510: Tresor Kandol has missed a golden early chance to put Leeds in front at Southend." Ahhhhh.

12:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Not many goals around

12:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea have scored again
Kalou.

Chelski are resting quite a few for Monday's replay

12:19 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, Warnock can get stuffed. I'd love to see the Blades go down.

12:21 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I really fancy Spurs in that match.

12:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Luton have had some chances but not scored yet

12:22 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I can't believe that "Judas" Duberry is back in the Premiership. He was the heart and soul of Stoke this season.

12:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope so. Do you think United are going through?

I would love to see a United Spurs Final. It would be attacking.

Wednesday just scored against Wolves

12:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, I fancy a United-Spurs final. They're definitely the two in-form footballing teams at the moment.

12:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Did you just give my beloved a compliment?

12:25 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Micah Richards has just limped off for Citeh. They're saying that it's bad news for England, but honestly, would he get a game?

12:25 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I don't know what I was thinking.

12:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Blades have come back into it a little.
Hulse is hurt.. he maybe taken off on a stretcher

12:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Are you listening to talksport?
I heard the same thing.

SOUTHEND 1 Leeds 0

12:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Who is going to play right and left back?

12:27 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Who would you have as your starting eleven against Israel next weekend?

I'd have Foster, Carragher, Rio, Woody, Cashley, Gerrard, Lamps, Lennon, Downing, Defoe and Roon.

You?

12:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You have to give Southend credit. They were dead and buried. Now it looks like they will survive
Derby have scored against Cardiff
Coventry have scored against Barnsley

12:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cashley is suspended for the first game because of two yellows

12:30 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Bugger!

12:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hulse seems to have a bad ankle injury

12:30 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

No credit for the Shrimpers. We must win this game.

12:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Boy, a lot of players are getting hurt today

12:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

How about Wayne Bridge?

12:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cardiff have tied it up at Pride Park

12:33 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'd have Carragher at right back. Is Luke Young in the squad?

12:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He just had an operation on a knee

12:33 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Why did McClown drop Gareth Barry then? Who have we got for fullbacks?

12:34 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Huckerby has scored for the Canaries against Stoke.

12:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Carragher was going to play left back but now he should take over from Gaz and I would call up Barry and play him on the left but Macca will play P. Neville there. Who cares that he plays center midfield every week for Everton

Norwich have scored against Stoke
Dowie is really working magic
Two up against Barnsley

12:36 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wolves have tied it at Hillsborough

12:37 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I agree with you. Barry and Carragher would be my starting fullbacks given the injury situation. Or play three at the back with wingbacks.

12:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Calamity SUCKS

12:38 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Is he in the squad - I hope not!

12:40 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Barnsley are now three down! Keep scoring - we need to level up the goal difference.

12:48 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

FSC has an alarming habit of choosing low scoring fixtures to show on a Saturday.

12:50 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Half of the Premiership fixtures are at 0-0 at the half. Disgusting.

12:51 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Jermaine Jenas has scored for Spurs against hapless Watford. Good news for the Hammers.

12:52 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Second halfs starting....

1:04 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

With Luton and Barnsley losing and QPR drawing today, a win for the Leeds would really do us wonders.

Come on Leeds!

1:06 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

O'Neill squanders a chance for Pompey there. Still a dismal 0-0.

1:07 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Wednesday have taken the lead again against Wolves.

1:08 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Plymouth are now one-nil up over Derby. Cardiff have taken the lead too.

1:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Scratch that: Derby are 2-1 up on Cardiff while Plymouth are 1-0 over Palace. Sorry.

1:12 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good news: Barnsley are now 4-0 down.

Bad news: QPR have taken the lead - they're on 40 points now.

1:13 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Joey Barton's been booked for Citeh in a dire match at the Riverside. Big surprise.

1:15 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Bollocks has replaced Lamps as he's been rested for Monday night's FA Cup replay.

1:16 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Phew! We nearly just went 2-0 down. Come on!

1:20 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Derby are top of the Coke as they stick a third goal in against Cardiff. It's 3-1.

1:22 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

This from 365: "1625: Amazing scenes at White Hart Lane as Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson scores for Spurs to make it 2-0 over Watford as his 75-yard punt bounces past Ben Foster."

Wow, I'll look forward to seeing that one tonight. Maybe Robbo's the better choice for next weekend afterall.

1:31 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

That's torn it - QPR are 3-0 up!

We need a goal...and soon.

1:34 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Chelski are now 3-0 up - Bollocks the scorer. So Sheva and Bollocks have scored today. That's a turnup.

Also Citeh are one nil up over Boro.

1:35 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Almost a cracker from Hughes there.

1:40 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Ten minutes for Leeds to pull this one out. This could be the whole season. Southend seem to be rampant, so they will have to dig deep. Come on!

1:42 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'll take anything - a bobbly goal off a corner. A draw will do. That would leave us on 36 and Southend on 39 - four points from safety. That's what we need.

Come on!

1:47 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

David Healey's come on in the 82nd minute. He hasn't scored since Thanksgiving. Time for heroics now, David.

1:48 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

YESSSSSS! From 365: "1646: Second goal at Southend where Leeds have an equaliser through sub David Healy."

The gods have smiled....

1:51 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I won't get greedy - just hold on.

1:51 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

And it's all over! Bloody hell, we dodged a bullet there. 88th minute equalizer. The Great Escape is still on.

1:57 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

And a great day for the Hammers. Blimey, they're like watching a Cirque de Soleil show these days, with Carlito as lead jester. First he tumbles for a decent penalty and then clears the ball off the Blackburn line! Fortunately the FA continue to dawdle over the Hawkeye technology. You could see the steam coming out of Sparky's ears on the telly.

Still, eight points back....maybe, maybe?
