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!

Just when you thought it was safe to get back to work, there's another slate of footie on the horizon this afternoon.

Join me for all the action...

I've got the Adthe stream up for Newcastle vs. United and...is that snow I see on the ground? Blimey, it looks colder on the Tyne today than up here in western New York!

Rooney is back in the side, no doubt to the delight of Fergie.

2:49 PM

Newcastle are playing a suicidal game of playing very high up the pitch and you can just see Ronaldo and Rooney licking their lips at the prospect. Both have been set through early on.

Very bright and positive start for the Magpies. I think that's their undoing, really. They always think they're a big club because they're being roared on by a huge crowd, but they should remember that they're currently placed 13th and desperately need a point today to get them to 30.

Wide open game here. Ronaldo picks up a long ball wide left and jinks inside and rifles a shot deflected just wide.

2:53 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Well, well, well. VDS has finally conceded a goal in the Premiership and it's a complete howler. Guiterrez fired off a speculative shot and VDS rather than gathering bobbles it out to Lovenkrands who nets easily from two yards out.

1-0 Newcastle.

2:55 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ooh, Martins is achingly close to a second goal there. United are rocking.

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sir Alex is chomping on the gum just a wee bit harder now.

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Smithy gives away a silly free kick on the edge of the box. Ronaldo time.

3:01 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

James Beattie has scored for Stoke against Bolton. Lovely.

3:03 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Free kick now to Newcastle.

Well over from Stephen Taylor.

3:05 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Magnificent strike from Rooney. Tremendous move from United down the right between O'Shea and Park and then a wonderful turn and left footed shot that left Harper with no chance.

1-1!

3:06 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Handball? I think so. Should have been a penalty for United.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Elano has popped in penalty for Citeh against Villa. Just as I'd predicted, Villa are just starting to feel the length of the season. I think their players are absolutely knackered.

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Keano and Pavs have notched a couple of goals for Spurs against Boro, who are looking particularly rocky these days. How long for Southgate?

How are you, mate?

Lovely forearm smash there from Taylor on Skippy. I'd like to give him one like that. Yellow card. And one for Rio as well.

3:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The defender slips and and United get in but my link freezes. I get it back in time for Ronaldo to be attacked by the Toon. Should have been off.
Rio gets a card at the half

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Fans appeal for a penalty but Martins doesn't
It was nothing

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Good to get rid of the yellow ball.


Nice joke by commentator.
Vidic showed up late for training, SAF fined the rest of the squad for being early

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United almost get in again. I thought Ron could have done better there but he backheals it to Park

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It is all United. The Toon haven't created anything.

4:26 PM

Great run by Carrick but he should have released it earlier. Berba is not happy

4:27 PM

Sorry, I had to skip off. Very interesting results today. Of course the Championship was long ago settled. There are a lot of smart people in footie who are predicting that Fergie will finally shuffle off to the side when he tops Liverpool's record of 18 Championships and 5 European Cups. Well, that could be next summer at this rate.

At the bottom, West Brom are probably just about gone. The 4-0 spanking by Spurs means that there is tremendous pressure on Boro and Blackburn's point at home to Everton is probably not enough for them. At the same time, Hull's away win at Craven Cottage does them a world of good. And Citeh are probably safe now after a good win against Villa that puts Arsenal right back in the hunt.

Roll on Saturday!

Sadly, there is no Prem games on the weekend except for Spur and Sunderland that was postponed last week because of the Carling Cup Final.
I was listening to 5Live when they went to report from Craven Cottage and the United striker on loan at Hull won it right then and there
