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!

I Am No Nostradamus!

Well, it's time to take stock of those predictions that we all made back in August. When it comes to mine, it's not pretty:

Premiership Champions - Liverpool (Hah!)

Runners Up - Arsenal (Not even close!)

Champions League Qualifiers - Chelsea and Spurs (!)

Relegated Teams: Watford, Sheffield United and Fulham
(Well, two out of three ain't bad.)

Top Scorer - Jermaine Defoe (Spurs) (Nope, it was Drogs)

Promoted from Coke - Southhampton, West Brom, and Leeds (!) (The saddest comment.)

Champion's League Winners - Barcelona (Didn't even make the quarters.)

Carling Cup Winners - Spurs (Try Chelski)

F.A. Cup Winners - ManYoo (Reasonably close but beaten in the Final.)

How did the rest of you lot do?

I don't remember all of mine.
All I remember is that I picked Pompey to win the Cup but United knocked them out in the fourth round and I PICKED MANCHESTER UNITED TO WIN THE PREMIERSHIP!!!!!



YES, I am the winner

Here are your picks, Dave:

Premiership Champions - Man Utd

Runners Up - Liverpool

Champions League Qualifiers - Chelsea and Arsenal

Relegated Teams: Watford, Charlton and Fulham

Top Scorer - Andre Shevchenko

Promoted from Coke - Southhampton, Birmingham, and Leeds

Champion's League Winners - Chelsea

Carling Cup Winners - Spurs

F.A. Cup Winners - Portsmouth

(Apart from your choice of ManYoo for champions (which, to be honest for you, is the default position, it's not much better than mine.)

I would say it is about the same as you.
Don't care that it is a "default position", I had confidence.
I guess I beat with you with the Coke. We both picked Sotton and Leeds but I got the Brummies.
In the CL, I got a semi finalist.
And I did get the four CL entries.

And here are Sir Trev's:

Champions: Chelski (sorry)

Runners up: ManUSA

Qualifiers: L'pool and Arsenal

Down: Watford, Reading and P'mouth

Top Scorer: Harewood (HAMMERS!)

Up: S'hampton, Leeds, Ipswich

Champions: Chelski

Carling Cup: West Ham

FA Cup: West Ham

(Apart from the CL entrants - and that's the easiest thing to predict these days since it's the same four every year - it's the same sad story. Marlon Harewood? You're having a laugh, Sir Trev!)

Harewood scored five goals for the Hammers this season . . . one more than the amount of yellow cards he was shown . . .
