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!

Premiership Saturday

Ah...Saturday morning. I'm taking a break from it all for a couple of hours to have a look at FSC's coverage of the Chelsea match this morning. Of course, I'll also be keeping a close eye on Gary McAllister's debut as Leeds manager as the Whites host Tranmere Rovers. We could use that vaunted "New Manager Bump."

Join me, eh?

Morning, Dave. I just saw that free kick from Ronaldo on the preview show. Cor.

9:29 AM

Glad to hear it. We need Jermaine for the run in.

9:29 AM

Quite a strike from Ronny.

Top corner and James didn't move!!

All Arse at Eastlands but I am still holding out hope of a lucky Blues goal

9:30 AM

Unite recall Hargreaves, Giggs and Tevez. Not a shabby trio

I am still a little nervous about today's game.
We do well down there but...

Spurs 9m pound full-back Hutton starts for the Whites. A good time to score a debut own goal!!

9:34 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Arse has just scored their third.

Three points up. Now it is United's turn

9:35 AM

Adebayor again.
What a team Ronaldo and Adebayor would make!!!

Swansea are goalless at half time. Have you given up with them and admit they are too far away

9:36 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I do think Swansea are out of touch but it did help us to have them pegged back by Forest in mid-week. We'll see. Would love to see a draw from them today. If they could a little cold, it could only help.

What do you think of Alexandre Pato? He's not the most clinical finisher - he tends to snatch at chances. But he also seems to always be in the right place to grab a chance. You can't teach that.

The final whistle has gone in the day's early kick-off in the Premier League and Arsenal have become the first team to win at Eastlands in the league this season, with a 3-1 victory with goals from Adebayor and Eduardo against Manchester City.

9:48 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I haven't seen much of Pato.

I have had problems listening to manutd.com commentary lately but I am listening to this week

I have so many windows open on my computer there isn't any room.
I have the SkySports Score Center
Soccernet Gamecast of United. United's commentary, BBC and LOB!!!

You are a multitasker. And so am I. I'm trying to finish a couple of my student teaching observation forms while I'm watching the match.

Oh, I'm flying up to Maine this week for an interview. Wish me luck!

Let's hope for Gary Mac factor

10:03 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Fingers crossed

10:03 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Let's hope Defoe does well today. He always seems to score on his debut

10:05 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Baros should have done better there

10:06 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

What do you account for in the Ballack renaissance - no Lamps around to crowd him out?

10:07 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Tractor Boys have taken the lead away from home!!!

10:07 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No one wants to be promoted!!
WBA are losing at home to Burnley

10:09 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think Bollocks has enjoyed no Lamps. Should be interesting when he gets back

10:11 AM

Prem still goalless

10:11 AM

I reckon they'll sell Frank in the summer. Along with a bunch of others.

James almost becoming Dracula again

The Tractor Boys have been pegged back

10:15 AM

From 365: "Dropping into League One and Leeds are on top in Gary McAllister's first game as boss against Tranmere but it's also 0-0 at Elland Road."

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

Still goalless at Swansea

10:16 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Why would Harry Redknapp sell Benjani? He's been their best player this season. Crazy.

10:17 AM

I totally agree. I don't understand it

10:19 AM

Of course, he may not be gone.

Blogger gatorbob said...

Oh dear. Still, you can count on Ronny for a couple, eh?

Good old Bournemouth.

10:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Walsall are beating Carlisle. I guess a draw would be best in this game. They are both above Leeds.

10:25 AM

Bolton have a pen at Reading

Swansea have taken the lead.
I think they are gone

10:29 AM

Bournemouth have scored a second

10:31 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I agree.

Carlisle vs. Walsall is the big match in League One today and the away side have taken the lead, thereby bumping Doncaster out of second spot.

10:31 AM

Orient are losing to Southend

10:31 AM

A header from Bollocks cleared off the line!

He can really head the ball!!!

10:36 AM

That should have been a pen and then off the bar!!!
Bugger

From 365: "Tottenham are still on top against Manchester United and nearly double their lead when Berbatov fires a volley just over the top from inside the box."

Not good.

Oldham have tied it up at the Swans

Free kick chance for Spurs. Huddlestone hits the wall

Doncaster have taken the lead at The Den

10:46 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

From 365: "Manchester United's Patrice Evra falls to the ground after tangling with Lennon in the Tottenham box. The referee waves play-on and that looks like the right decision."

Patrice taking lessons from Ronny?

10:47 AM

Swansea have taken the lead again

Good save by James

Wigan have scored a late goal against the Hammers.
Sorry Sir Trev

10:52 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

It's all over at Swansea. They've extended their lead to sixty points, although of course we'd be level with them if not for the points deduction.

I'm quite enjoying the Super Sunday Plus show on Sunday afternoons but why is there no drinking allowed in the Bass Pale Ale Pub?

All the games underway again

11:08 AM

Carrick is on for Hargreaves

Pompey should have scored there

11:09 AM

Why didn't Milan hammer it

11:10 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Defoe is hopeless and what was Baros playing at there. I could've scored that one!

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

Orient have tied it up with Southend.
That would be another good result as well

11:11 AM

United making a few more chances

Pompey having some chances.
Was it pen and then bleeding Chelski go down at score

11:17 AM

Surely a penalty there. Definite handball by Makalele...

And then Anelka scores at the other end. Good finish from Nic but the Pompey fans will not be happy there.

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

Bolton have scored a second at Reading

11:19 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Maybe it didn't hit the hand.
The one in the first half did

11:19 AM

Uh oh
Tranmere have taken the lead

Not a good day for both of us

Nope. Bugger! Come on Gazza - get the boys playing!

11:22 AM

Bollocks may be hurt but this is wasting a lot of time.
You know it never get the same amount added at the end

11:23 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice knew look for Bollocks

11:23 AM

Yes

Defoe with a goal. A debut goal to boot

Pretty lucky finish. It went under Cech

Doncaster have scored again

11:40 AM

SWP should have scored as well
Typical English finishing at both ends

11:41 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

SWP and Defoe showing just how much work Fabio Capello's got ahead of him.

11:41 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Cor, that was a XXX challenge from Makalele. Should've been a straight red. No excuse for that.

11:46 AM

3 minutes of added time at WHL

11:51 AM

Derby have scored late

11:52 AM

1646: Wayne Rooney is booked for diving and will miss next week's Manchester derby. A similar fate befell City's Elano earlier in the day.

Great save from James

VDS up for a corner

Ipswich win away for the first time

12:01 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Sounds like an own goal from Dawson there. Good for your lot. Not so much for mine. Our season was premised on the idea of a solid bond in the team. That's been destroyed by Poyet and Wisey leaving. Not sure where things will go from here. We've dropped to eighth and two points out of the qualifying spots but even more worrying we haven't won in several games now.

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

Not a great day.
My lot have dropped to second

Leeds have dropped to 8th!

Come on Gary M. Sort it out
