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!

Buh-bye Tommy


One thing about FSC picking up the CL for next year is that it's finally time to say a unfond farewell to the worst football pundit in the world. He's so flippin' awful, it makes a good story even in a country that would have to you.tube him to find out just why we hate him.

Here's the story from yesterdays's Guardian

Lest you forget, here's a great link that will remind you of why it's great to be shot of him once and for all.

Terrific stuff, Gooner. During yesterday's United-Porto CL match, The Onion Bag suggested that Vidic should have headed a ball that was about ankle height.

I'd love to think that FSC picking up the CL next season - btw, don't be surprised at a Bretos/Sullivan commentary team for that - will be the end of Tommy's career. They'll know doubt slide him into the already overcrowded Thursday night MLS coverage. Be afraid.

I'd be kind of surprised if they went Bretos/Sullivan. I bet they might have thought of it for a moment, but that anonymous caller to the FSC show told 'em straight:

Get the commentator right because we can always go directly to the source with the pirated streams from Justin, and etc.

I bet we get at least the Ian/Robbie team if not better.

And who knows, maybe a team like Healy?/Mustoe might jump to FSC. Certainly Smyth won't because he's got the horse racing and the hurley/Gaelic games gig. Derek Rae can always go back to the NE Sports Network if he drops the affected Rob Roy act.

It'll be interesting but I bet the conversation went like this.

FSC Suit: "Max, Christian, we got the bid for the CL starting next August"

Max, Christian: "Hooray!"

FSC Suit: "Yes, it's very exciting and we'll be auditioning on-air talent...not so fast Max."

Hey
I got this email sent to me by Gooner earlier.
Can't wait to get rid of him

Didn't the guy on Fox Fone-in say that they will pick up the feeds from Europe because it is better than have some bloke in the studio?

I don't remember that from the discussion, Dave, but I hope you're right.

I absolutely remember them saying it. I was very pleased
