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 Tuesday?

It's that time of the season again when the Premiership bosses are trying to squeeze in as many fixtures as they can around the other competitions bouncing around the planet, so we've got a handful of interesting Premiership matches as well as a full slate of Championship and Division 1 matches.

I'll be bouncing in and out but drop by for a chat and a cuppa if you've got the time.

I've got a lovely Iraq Goals stream of the WBA vs. Arsenal match up and running, so I'll be following that as much as I can.

Arsenal haven't scored in four matches, WBA are rank bottom of the Premiership. Something's got to give at the Hawthorns tonight.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger makes four changes - one of them enforced - from the side held to a goalless draw by Fulham, for the Premier League match at West Brom. Johan Djourou replaces injured central defender William Gallas (ankle). Nicklas Bendtner, Emmanuel Eboue and Alex Song come into the side at the expense of Robin van Persie, Carlos Vela and Abou Diaby - who are among the substitutes.

Well, that didn't take long. Barely three minutes in and Nik Bendtner has ended the Arse goal drought. He was found on the right edge of the box, worked his way to an opening and merely guided the ball into the far corner.

Arsenal 0-1 up.

And WBA have hit back straight away. Chris Brunt hits a scorching free kick that goes straight through the wall and beats Almunia at the near post.

1-1!

With the kickoffs in Division 1, Millwall have leapfrogged us again into 5th. I'm hoping that the Shrimpers can do something about them today.

Leicester and Stockport are off to a ding-dong - they're at 1-1.

Peterboro are off to a good start against Orient. 0-1 there.

Now 0-2 Peterboro and they may well end up in 2nd place tonight.

Great save by Almunia from Luke Moore.

Arshavin plays an inviting ball into Bendtner. Those two have looked lively so far. Arshavin's been complaining about the pace of the Premiership and claiming to need oxygen after matches. He doesn't look puffed quite yet.

Decent chance for Chelsea at Fratton Park, but a sliding Didier Drogba just fails to get on the end of Ashley Cole's fizzing cross from the left. The striker ends up in the back of the net, the ball does not.

Glorious early chance for Sunderland at Anfield. Kenwyne Jones is too quick for Martin Skrtel and bursts clean through on Jose Reina's goal. But he loses his nerve at the crucial moment and shoots tamely to the keeper's right. A relieved Reina makes an easy block. Liverpool should be behind.

Good chance for West Brom against Arsenal, Luke Moore heading over from close range after a Brunt corner is headed back across goal.

Blimey, my link went down for a few minutes and when I've come back Nik Bendtner's just stuck in his second and Arsenal's third. It's 1-3 at the break. No goals in the other two fixtures.

Hey there: I was on JustinTV for a while but it popped off. No luck on Adthe. I'm still searching.

I've got one up on Iraq goals that seems to be working now:

David N'gog has scored for Liverpool against Sunderland.

The lads on FFF were discussing how vital that two points that Villa dropped on Saturday might be in the end. A win for the Arsenal today will bring them within three points of Villa in 4th.

Chelski are still locked in a 0-0 with Pompey. Also good news for the Arse.

Hi man. Lovely jubbly, three goals and an away win tonight.

We ended up on some Russian site evidently run by Andrei's proud uncle judging from how often ARSHAAVIIN was yelled.

We've had bad luck getting a solid feed for the games while I've been here so don't count Wayne Dahlgren in on this new technology malarky just yet. Color him mostly unimpressed.

Good to get amongst the goals again with Barnsley at home and Roma away coming up.

Yeah, good result for you lot, for sure. Now you just need Citeh to do something against Villa today.

Sorry you haven't been able to get a solid feed up for the games. I reckon that you're right that the old folks aren't quite on the Info. Superhighway quite yet. Mom keeps complaining about the "big beachball," which I haven't seen since the days of dial-up and my old Mac Classic.

Cheers!

Now go out and have a kebab on me - with the chili sauce, of course!
