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!

Great season review on Sky
Ron and Roon mucking about with the ball in tunnel
Usain Bolt in the stands
I think the Arse are really going to go for it today. They would love to knock us off
It should be an open game, they are going to go for the win
The only time United have won the Premier League at home was against Spurs TEN YEARS AGO!!
Out of their ten titles
Four have been won away
SIX of them have been won sitting on the couch... including the first one.
I meant to say it was TEN YEARS AGO TODAY
Morning, mate! I'm here for the first half and then I have to run out to graduation.
Hey Bob,
Glad to have you hear for at least half
I am still thinking of you
Tony sent his regards. He said it was all his fault.
He wanted a Leeds MK Dons Final
nice use of the word 'hear'
My fingers are faster than my brain
This VSS link has been brilliant. It better not go wonky at kick off
VSS has just become frosty and gone out!!
I AM A JINX!!!
From the Beeb
1232: Shall we have a sweepstake on how many times the cameras will pan to Usain Bolt today? I'm going for 192.
This bloke is still having trouble with his link
Went to Arsenal TV but now back to Sky
I REALLY hope United can get something today. I don't want it to go down to next week!!
Arsenal lost 4-1 last week but had many chances.
Great stream up on VSS with Martin and Andy. Lovely!
Over to Martin and Andy
I love this internet stuff!
Fergie trying to hang on to Tevez by playing him today?
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be.
We going to win the league
Que sera sera
Doris Day blurting out at Old Trafford
Hi Guys .
CIA here again . I will be in and out today . Best of luck Dave . So sorry for you Bob . I really felt bad for you the other night . I guess you'll just have to get automatic promotion next season . The play-offs just don't seem to suit Leeds .
In the papers, it says that Tev called Fergie an old man
That is according to Maradona
Robbo the Captain Marvel in the stands
Teams are lined up in the tunnel
COME ON UNITED!!
Here they come
Guess who's on top of the Ronaldo the Slave predictions league? Yes, indeed. My team may be playing in the 3rd division, but I'm in pole position for the title.
Here are my predictions for today:
United 2 Arse 0
Bolton 1 Hull 0
Everton 1 West Ham 0
Boro 1 Villa 0
Newcastle 1 Fulham 1
Stoke 0 Wigan 0
Spurs 2 Citeh 2
West Brom 1 Liverpool 3
Chelski 2 Blackburn 0
Pompey 0 Sunderland 1
United are gong in their favorite direction
Of course, they seem to score more going this direction. Spurs... five!
We're off
Why didn't Skippy shoot there?
Ron almost got some space there
He should have shot!
Good start from United
United have used their double-headed coin for the toss again today.
Interesting predictions by you
Hope you're right... especially with the first one
Arsenal look a shadow of the side that they have been. They need major changes in the summer but I think Wenger's philosophy is working against them at this point.
United lose the ball in midfield... doesn't come to anythng
Hey Tony
Your comment slipped passed me
How would your predictions differ from mine? By mine, West Brom sadly get relegated today and Boro and Newcastle survive to see another day next weekend.
Old Trafford sounds great
I was going to ask if you guys were ignoring me !
I think the Toon may get a win and doom Hull
Everything could be decide this weekend
Never Tony
Never
Are you Bob?
Hiya, Chelskilad. Thanks for the thoughts. As a long suffering fan of the LUFC, I'm used to heartache. I can live with another season in Division 1.
I just hope Leeds can hold on to some of their players
Ron looks hurt
Sorry, I hadn't noticed your post earlier. You need to put an image on your profile like a Chelski seal or something.
I still don't know why I am coming up as Tony and not Chelskilad ??? I haven't done anything different I don't think .
All you guys are wimps not putting your picture!
Well, we've resisted selling Fab in the past. We're not quite as strapped for cash as we have been. We'll lose Snoddy and Sodje who are on loan.
I don't know how to do fancy stuff like that Bob .
Jermaine?
I don't either. I doublechecked your profile and it hasn't changed. You're still listed as an administrator. I'll email the Blogger folks about that.
ooh, Roon shot is deflected... could have gone anywhere
United finally attacking again.
Corner
Beckford could easily be sold, yeah. I'm sure there is interest.
Three defenders just surrounded Ron
ooh, RVP should have scored there!
Not the GREAT start I was hoping for
Arsenal are dominating
This is nothing like the Champions League. Either game
Roon hits a header just wide
Fairly simple, Chelski. Just copy the URL of a picture that you like. Then click on the little orange "B" at the top left of the LOB homepage to get to the "Dashboard." Over on the left, you'll see a link for "Edit Photo." Click on that and paste the URL in the little box. Save the changes and bob's your uncle.
You're my brother's uncle?
I didn't know we were related ?
I don't like how this is going so far
United can't keep possession
Great work from Fletcher but messes up the cross
Figure of speech, innit?
Can Ron score from here?
Free kick chance for United
He just was cut off
Don't think it is Ronaldo angle
maybe though or Giggs
Giggs hits Row Q
Have you tried this link Tony
It is working brilliantly
Knock on wood
65 minutes to 18!!!!!!!!!
Andy's right about plenty of possession but creating much
Why have United gone off the boil after the first five minutes? There's a Championship to be won!
There is no Tevez to come on spur us on
ohh, Tev almost in with a header
COME ON UNITED
Are you lads up for some summer reading? With the footie season coming to a close, we'll be gearing up the LOB book club again. Bivalve Betsy will be leading the discussion of "Castro's Curveball" in the coming weeks.
I'll at least give it a thought
Too nervous right now to think about books!!
RVP is a waste of space. They need to shop him in the summer and bring in a proper striker.
Free kick chance for The Arse and RVP does his best impression of Ron... straight into the wall
I agree with Andy Gray... there isn't much intensity out there
Roon almost threads the ball through to Ron
Give Arsenal credit, not many teams come and dominate at Old Trafford. Why weren't they like this in the CL
Corner to United
Comes to nothing
Why wouldn't Arsenal have a go now. This result doesn't matter to them. Their season is over!
50 minutes to 18!!
Why didn't Arsenal give it a go in the CL?
Dave . I thought you were going to send me a link to try ???
ooh, Giggs almost gets in
No shot on target yet by United
Just like at Wigan
United could be crowned Champions today but I still say they have not been that impressive this year
This type of performance has happened far too many times this season for my liking
Roon giving the linesman the what what there. Why doesn't he get booked for that language?
Yeah, try the VSS, Tony. It's the dog's bollocks. I was watching a bit of the cricket yesterday.
I think you are ahead of me
I got that Roon post from you as it was happening for me
RVP, ROW W please
Cleared
Well not yesterday. It was a complete washout yesterday
The Arse asking lots of questions
United are second best
Nasri's shot was going wide but the deflection could have gone anywhere
COME ON UNITED
Into added time of the first half
I'm off for the shower, lads. I'll catch up with you later. Best of luck with this one, Dave!
Giggs gets it in the box but United don't look dangerous
Take care Bob
Enjoy the graduation
Free kick chance for Ron right at the end of the half
KNOCK IT IN RONNY!!
Shanks it wide!!
Not got hit shooting boots on
Half time
Not too impressive by United
BUT
45 minutes to 18!!
Stay with me Tony
I'll try to stay with you Dave .
I tried that link but it's really
stop start , and I can't use LOB
because it's too slow while that is
on .
Famous cricket man and Man Utd fan Sir Geoffrey Boycott: "They're not playing special, are they?
I didn't know he was a United fan
He is all Yorkshire, why not Leeds.
try atdhe.net
Of course, you can listen to Five live
I can't
I had no idea about GB. Why United ?
You will have to remember to ask Bob
Maybe he was around for Munich
Any change for United?
Berbatov?
Tevez has not done much but he needs to stay on
Maybe Tev should be coming off the bench
Out come United
Maybe he got mixed up with the two
United's .
No changes for either team
COME ON UNITED!!
United have not done well against the big boys
They have four points against Chelski and that's it
We're off
Under 45 to 18
Fab in the book early
High challenge there
Hope Evra is okay.
He is walking off but is not happy with Cecs
Starting to get chippy after the Fab challenge.
RVP has a late challenge on Evra
What have they got against the wee Frenchman
Now Nasri has fouled Evra
Leave him alone... he is only small
United gets the ball in the box for the first time this half but it comes to nothing
40 to 18
Tev gives away a foul. Chance for the Arse to get the ball in the box
Cleared
The raining bucketing down all of a sudden
Bugger, my link just froze!!
It's disappeared.
I am on atdhe link and it is not Martin and Andy but it is working
I should be going to Newmarket right now but I am trying to stay with you. The weather looks dreadful at OT .
Cheers bruv
Free kick chance for United
Ron range
COME ON RONNY!!!!
Blocked by someone but not in the wall
Did you see my comments about Boycott
Evra almost gives the ball away in a horrible position!
Still can't get VSS back
I want Andy Gray back
I have to put up with John Gregory!
Arsenal get a chance but Gibbs hits it wide
COME ON UNITED!!
SHUT UP GREGORY!! HE IS ALREADY ANNOYING ME
Tevez almost in and the Ron hits it high, wide and orrible
Is that the ex Villa man ? If so he always annoys me .
30 to 18!!!
Link freezes!!!
COME ON!!
That's him
I don't have any link right now
I am going nuts
Even on Sky Sports News they are only commenting every now and then . I would have thought they would be saying more . Would you believe I don't have a radio that works . If I was in the car I could listen to it .
Just been knocked of the internet
Trying to find a link that works!!
Very frustrated
I have a Setanta link working from Veetle
25 to 18
Tevez coming off to boos. They don't want him to come off
Park coming on
Tevez looks like he is waving goodbye to Old Trafford
That's just what Sky said .
Are watching Sky?
Bendtner and Walcott on
Arse Shaven and Nasri off
Sky Sports News !!! Don't forget I'm
a poor person .
Get a radio!!!
20 to 18
United have been hopeless today
WHY CAN'T WE GO OUT AND WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
I think we are playing not to lose
United get the ball in the net but called back for offside
That was close
Of course, Gregory doesn't say anything.
He just says it was the wrong ball
18 to 18
15 to 18!!
Eboue coming on for Gibbs
Their last change
COME ON UNITED!!!!
United break but Ron gets fouled by Song
Just took him out and gets a card
Free kick chance for Ron
He has scored from here against Blackburn
COME ON RONNY
Just found Mums old Cassette/Radio .
Not good reception but at least I
can hear it .
ooh, just wide
11 to 11 Premiership titles!
Come on Mum
give me some good vibes
What did you think about Coppell quitting ?
Under 10 to 18
Sagna hits the advertising barrier but comes back
Keep it tight United
Remember, you need two to help Bob with his predictions
ooh Fab has a shot at the back post saved at the near post.
He didn't get much on it
Ron clears the corner
Why can't United do it the easy way

Old Trafford sounds very nervous right now

Que sera sera
FSC has cameras in the dressing room

Fergie shaking all the hands of players
FSC have split screen with United and Spurs Citeh
Sky News are still on it . Hope they keep it going . I would like to see the trophy presented .
Me too
I have it on the computer but FSC is still showing United as well as Spurs
You could call me if you like . But do it in the next few minutes .
Here come the teams
Very strange from Setanta
They were at Old Trafford but the only showed the crowd as the players were giving their medals and the trophy.
They then go in and have an interview with Arsene and he is speaking French!!
Finally some players on film
Take care everyone
I can go work on the house as a happy camper
I will check in with the scores every now and then
BRING ON BARCELONA!!
Congratulations on #18 Dave!
I'm just back from graduation and hoping to catch a bit of the late kick-off.
You're worthy champions Davie. I don't begrudge you the trophy this season, like I would have Liverpool or Chelsea. Congrats.
In all honesty, while I'm happy for Dave, I would have preferred to see Liverpool win the title for the sake of variety this season. Of course Dave and other Red Devils would be happy to see United run up 15-0 results every weekend and see them win everything from the Auto Windscreens to the Ashes, but it does get a bit boring. Of all the top level tournaments in England and Europe on offer this season, the only one not won by United is the FA Cup and perhaps the Champions League if Leo Messi feels bothered to show up at the end of the month. Why should any of the rest of us feel bothered to watch?
