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!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

If it's Wednesday, it must be footie time!

The snow is coming down in sheets here in western NY and I'm betting that Davey's got the day off from the classroom grind and has his feet up with a cuppa and a plate of cheddar toast on his lap just waiting for this afternoon's matches. Join us if you've got the day off too, won't you?

The Arse link on ATDHE is for Windows only

Malouda down hurt. He may be okay as Drogs is warming up

3:01 PM

We need the Turkish duo up front to score some goals for Wigan.

I was very impressed with Wigan at OT

Cashley hits the side netting with a header. He should have scored

3:03 PM

Free kick chance for Chelski from quite a way out...Bollocks hits a low shot that the keeper parries

3:05 PM

Citeh have taken the lead against the GIVENless Toon.
SWP with a 17th minute goal

Free kick chance for Stevie G... he knocks it into the box and comes to nothing

3:07 PM

It looks like Given is on his way to Citeh

Chelski 2 Boro 0

Wigan 1 Pool 2
Blackburn 1 Bolton 1
Everton 1 Arse 1
Hammers 2 Hull 1

Let's be 'aving ya!

The ball skids through the Boro box but no blue shirt gets a foot on it.

One way traffic so far at the Bridge

3:10 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'll bet it was. I'm nibbling on some pistachios I keep in my desk drawer for these kinds of emergencies.

3:10 PM

SWP has scored for Citeh in the 17th minute.

Really having trouble keeping a link active today. How about you?

3:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My ATDHE link for Chelski is great

The Costa game should be on veetle.com
They always have the FS link

3:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I was watching the Arse but it kept freezing up. I've switched to the Pool match - you?

3:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Emerson Boyce should have done better with a header. As the ball came in the box, there looked like 7 Wigan players were offside. They were except Boyce. He should have done better

3:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cardiff have taken the lead at Coventry

3:23 PM

Under ten to go at the JJB

The Arse link didn't work on the ATDHE site

3:24 PM

On AT?

3:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Kalou should have done better there with the free header.

3:25 PM

Yeah, that's the one - on adthe.

3:26 PM

The message that Gooner posted from the myP2P site is a bit frightening.

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Again, the Costa game would be on Veetle

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick chance for Boro. Come on Reds

3:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What do you mean about Gooner?

3:27 PM

Doesn't look like the link is going to Sky's half time coverage

3:37 PM

Becks has scored his second for Milan tonight
Is he going to stay? Should he? Why shouldn't he?

Shame about that, Boro were getting some possession

4:06 PM

Boro about to bring on two strikers I think

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cardiff are two up at Coventry

4:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sorry, mate. I was just setting up my 4:30 class downstairs. As to Becks, yes, he's at Milan to stay. I do think it's a betrayal of the MLS. He came here with the express purpose of growing the game in this country and made a lot of dosh out of the deal but did sod all. I've lost a lot of respect for him - he's a mercenary like the rest.

4:11 PM

Alves and Tungay are both on for Boro

Well done Wigan, two points dropped for Costa

Chelsea get the maximum points
Now it is up to Arsenal to get a goa
