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!

Good Old Saturday

The international break is over and we have the treat of a nearly full Premiership fixture list this morning. Added to that, my Leeds boys won 2-1 against PNE last night so I can relax and hopefully watch our relegation rivals lose. Join me?

Blimey, it's a cracking start for Pompey on FSC this morning with a super curler from Kranjcar. 1-0!

In the earlier game, a hat-trick from Peter Crouch has buried Arsenal 4-1 at Anfield. Why wasn't he available in mid-week?

Burnley vs. Luton is a tricky one - I don't know what the best result is - a draw maybe? Luton are bottom with 37 but Burnley are on 42 points.

11:17 AM

Ipswich two up

United still not having it their own way

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

Look, we don't want Cambridge to fall down to another division. We want them to be safe in the Conference.
I WAS A BALLBOY FOR THEM!!!!

11:19 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Same thing with Hull vs. Southend. Perhaps I need to let go of a few teams?

11:19 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

The Conference is safe?

11:19 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'd like to see Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Conference; actually I'd prefer to see him in the hospital.

11:20 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

UNITED sounding very edgy at the moment.

You know that I will be in England this time next week.

11:21 AM

Cambridge are three up.
SEVEN goals in one and a bit games.

Heya, Sir Trev! Are you enjoying the glory of another Final Four run for the mighty Gators?!

11:22 AM

Conference safe? It is better than the Conference South.

Is this a world record for blogg comments about Cambridge United????

11:23 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

About half of my 9:35 class yesterday morning had buggered off for Hot-lanta - I'm bloody failing them!

11:23 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'd like to break a record for blog comments about wishing Ronaldo was in the hospital - what do you think, Davey?

11:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United handballed it in the box. NOTHING given

11:24 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good to see your happy 'Ammers in the leads, Sir Trev!

Vidic looks hurt... uh oh

Stretcher. It is his shoulder

11:27 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Oh, come on, now. That's getting personal. How can you bet against my Gators? Yoakim Noah, what a nice lad!

11:28 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It could be the end of his season

11:28 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Shame it wasn't Ronaldo - love to see that Portugeezer in the hospital - have I broken the record yet, Dave?

11:28 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

At the beginning of the Tourny, my prediction was Ohio State beating the Gator to revenge the Football Championship

11:29 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Should be the end of Skippy's season....in the hospital!

11:29 AM

Not a chance!

Way hay, that'll tighten up the top of the table. Now for a critical injury on Ronaldo - that would make my day.

Good win for England in the cricket yesterday, eh Dave?

11:33 AM

Fergie trys to catch the ball and it hits him on the head.
Everything is going wrong at OT

11:33 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Oh, I'd love to see the "ball hits Ferg" vid! Will be looking for that later on You Tube. Did you like my MC Rove post?

After the brisk start at Craven Cottage this one has slipped into the usual FSC tedium.

11:49 AM

Half time at OT

Very disappointing display by United.
Rooney is playing like he is wearing a England shirt

11:52 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Hey, I'm trying to send all of the bad vibes that I can, Dave. You'll no doubt end up 5-1 winners today.

12:04 PM

Good.. keep it coming

Lovely and double lovely jubbly for us!

12:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Vidic has broken his collar bone.

That is a big blow. He has been our best defender.

12:14 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

If you had to have one United player break his collarbone, you'd want it to be Ronaldo wouldn't you now?

12:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Southampton have scored for at Wolves

12:16 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Nearly another howler from Calamity!

12:17 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

And then a terrific save....he's really a Jeckle and Hyde character.

12:18 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

From 365: "1613: Barnsley goalkeeper David Lucas is still receiving treatment at Oakwell, it appears he has swallowed his tongue and the game has been stopped for around six minutes now."

Crikey! Now there is one ManYoo player I'd like to see this happen too...and I think you know who!

12:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Shut it

Bad vibes, mate. Bad vibes.

SCHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scholes would have been banned for this game if United didn't have the Cup replay

They always struggle with Rovers.
Last year they were losing and tied it up and then ended up losing

Giggs hits the underside of the bar!!!!!

Keano's magic
Sunderland have taken the lead at Cardiff

12:31 PM

They're definitely going up.

12:34 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Did you listen to 606 on Wednesday with Ray Stubbs after the England match? I was listening in to hear the England chatter but all it was was a bunch of bog-trotters chanting "Healey, Healey, Healey."

12:35 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

QPR have missed a penalty! Phew! What's going on with the Baggies?

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

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carrick. Made by Ronaldo

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!


Come on Watford!!!

Things looking bleak and now it could all be brilliant

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

I did hear 606.
Did you hear them interview Wisey with the crowd cheering "Are you watching... Dennis Wise

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

Citeh have scored at St. James' Park

12:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bolton are leading The Blades. A good score for West Ham and Charlton and Wigan are drawing each other. Another good result for The Irons

12:43 PM

CAMBRIDGE HAVE SCORED # 7

12:43 PM

Hull are beating Southend 4-0.
Where did all those goals come from?

THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT!!!

United up by 9 for a couple of hours

COME ON WATFORD!!!!

12:58 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, I heard the Dennis Wise bit. I don't why he'd bother going to the game.

12:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't know why he was there.

Again, a good day but for the Vidic shoulder injury. He is lost

1:00 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Are you sticking around for the Chelski?

1:03 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good on you sport!

1:08 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good goals from Crouchie today. Why wasn't he in the squad for Wednesday's match?

1:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Could West Ham and Charlton get to safety.
Wigan and Shef U. better be worried.

West Ham do have Arsenal, Chelsea and United but...

1:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think he was still recovering from a nose operation after getting kicked in th face a little while ago.

I really like him

1:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I have been listening to Talksport but I checked Five Live and it is on. I don't know why. They were off for the United game and they are going have the Watford win as well. It will probably cut off again.

1:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It's off

1:16 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

That was nasty - John Terry's in the wars again. Did you notice that Jay Demerit got a start for the U.S. team Wednesday night? I didn't see the game - did you?

1:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That should have been a handball by Terry.
CHEATS

1:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Oooh, great overhead kick

1:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Nah that looked for ball to hand than hand to ball - his arm didn't move. But still, you've seen them given.

Great save from Cech - they're under the cosh here.

1:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on you Hornets

1:25 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Shittu!

1:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This could be a day like back in December.
Chelsea were losing to Everton and then won and United followed it up by losing to lowly WH.

Same again please.

1:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What a run that was. Looked like Dahlgren breaking away from defense.

1:30 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Nose-bleed run there.

1:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Watford are getting their chances!!!!

1:31 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

More like Joel Hunter gone walkabout.

1:31 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Uriah Rennie isn't calling anything today. What a plonker!

1:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

and another one.
Keep it up

1:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on Foster. Keep a clean sheet and help your REAL team to the title

1:33 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Come on, Watford are hopeless. Come on you Hammers!

1:39 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Predictions for the Champions League matches this week?

1:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They look pretty good right now.
They have been the top side so far.

I want West Ham to survive. It has nothing to do with this game.

1:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am not sure.
I hope United get a draw in Italy. Roma aren't that good but either is United's away form

I think Liverpool won't have it their own way against PSV.

I would say Bayern to knock off Milan

Valencia could give Cheslki all they can handle. They will still probably go through

1:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Roma are taking on Milan today. Kick the crap out of each other please

1:43 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You know Chelski will score soon

1:46 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I reckon that it will be United, Bayern, Liverpool and Valencia in the semis.

My prediction is Liverpool to win the whole thing - they do have the European pedigree after all.

1:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Or maybe United demoralized them this morning

1:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great save by Foster.

United's future #1

1:50 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

No chance. He'll never make it at United. When was the last time they had a starting English keeper?

2:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That was close. Keep it tight Watford

2:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I saw a posting that you made last week about SWP
You said it was his first goal for Chelski against Spurs.
Actually, he has scored for Chelski but only in cup competitions. He has never scored in the league!!

2:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time
Watford are doing well.
Long may it continue

2:07 PM

WHAT CHANCE FOR WATFORD!!!

Bit of argy bargy on the touchline between Jose and Ady Boothroyd.

2:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

this is just like December.
United lose to WH.
COME ON YOU HORNETS

2:34 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

You're dreaming. Chelski are playing real rubbish here but you somehow just see them nicking a late goal through Drogs.

2:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

25 minutes to go

2:41 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I know they will

2:41 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Bollocks with a bit of a bollix with that chance. How did he miss that one - what a chance!

2:46 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bollocks WHIFFS from six yards

2:46 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea are going to score any second

2:47 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I think that David Pleat was applying for the England job there. Don't make me larf!

2:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Another chance for Chels.
COME WATFORD, HOLD ON

2:53 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Utter rubbish there from Bollocks - Lamps should have wellied it.

Not in an England shirt

2:54 PM

How did that not go in?
Great saving tackle

2:55 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

More heroics from Demerit. He's clearly superior to Onyewu.

2:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Under ten minutes


COME ON

2:59 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Pleaty's at it again, taking credit for John Barnes's career. What a big 'ead!

Shittu....not on today's evidence.

The cricket's starting. The Aussies have won the toss and put Bangla in.

3:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Only 22 overs I see

3:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England have Sri Lanka and the Aussies next.

They can't afford to lose both.
I think I figured out the Super 8s scoring.
The game against the other team that qualified from your group goes with you.

3:08 PM

Told you so! Kalou!

3:09 PM

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BUGGER


Kathy is blaming me because I am the one that said it would happen

3:10 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

That was made by that foot in by Bollocks - might have saved their season there. Great cross from Sheva and header from Kalou - classy goal. Season on!

3:10 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

FT: That's it - the gap is still six points and nicely poised for the run in. Admit it, you want to see it all come down to that final match with Chelski, don't you now?

3:12 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good chatting with you today, mate. You did a masterful job staying on the blog. Well in!

3:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That's it.

Great to spend the morning with you and neither of us got booted off.
I will be around some of the time on Tuesday but all of it for Wednesday for the CL
