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!

Sunday in the Prem

If you've got any more energy for footer after yesterday's bonanza, join me this morning to see how "Mad Citeh" (S. Dahlgren t.m.) are getting on. Later Everton take on Wigan and then FSC favor us with Villa vs. Fulham.

Well, they're doing just nicely, ta very much, pulling up at 0-1 at half-time as a result of another goal from Arsenal old-boy Adebayor on 30 minutes.

Someone will be happy. His beloved Celtic have won 0-1 away to Hibs with a goal from Georgie Samaras.

Poor old Pompey. They're rooted to the bottom of the table and look awful. Surely Paul Hart is not long for the job.

I really like this Citeh away kit with the diagonal red stripe. That's a traditional kit, no?

9:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Citeh are completely bossing this match.

9:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Inside the last fifteen minutes now with Citeh still raiding down the right through Craig Bellamy.

Everton - Wigan has started at Goodison. Like Paul Hart, David Moyes is desperate for a league win.

10:08 AM

About ten minutes left at Fratton Park. Citeh still 0-1 up. Desperate times for Pompey.

Morning. Very pleased the Hoops have won.

I've got Everton/Wigan on through iraqgoals.

10:17 AM

Interesting. Five of the six sides playing today (Citeh are the exception) are mired in the early relegation battle.

10:20 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, Someone. I'm watching the same. I had the Citeh match up earlier on Iraq Goals but gave up on it. Pompey are hopeless this season.

10:21 AM

The stream kept cutting out on me so now I'm watching a very good quality picture, with Chinese announcers.

Very sad for Pompey, just two years from a cup win now this.

Hey Guys,
I have lost the use of the computer by the kids
I will be in and out.
My fingers are still tired after our 563 total from yesterday.
Shame Pompey lost. They had chances at the end according to the Beeb

10:26 AM

Full-time at Fratton Park. That leaves Citeh in fourth place, probably their goal for the season. Here's what the top of the table will look like tonight:

1. Chelsea (Played 4) 12 pts
2. Spurs (Played 4) 12 pts
3. United (Played 4) 9 pts
4. Citeh (Played 4) 9 pts
5. Stoke (Played 4) 7 pts
6. Arsenal (Played 3) 6 pts

Awesome effort yesterday, lad. I enjoyed reading your comments about Real later on. I'm paying more peripheral attention this morning, tbf.

10:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I've got a decent Veetle stream going for Everton v. Wigan. Half an hour in and still 0-0 with few chances for either side.

10:33 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Excellent. Thanks!

10:38 AM

Meanwhile, the bottom of the table looks like this at present:

17. Blackburn (played 4) 1 pts
18. Everton (played 3) 0 pts
19. Bolton (played 4) 0 pts
20. Pompey (played 4) 0 pts

10:39 AM

First decent chance from a set piece here with Pienaar lining it up. Melchiot encroaches and picks up a yellow for his trouble.

10:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half-time at Goodison. 0-0. Not much of a match, in fairness.

10:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hey, I have the computer back for a little
Why has FSC got the 10 o'clock game and not the 11 o'clock one?
Is it because of the bloody Serie A???? That match scores at 12

11:02 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I turn on the vss link of Villa Fulham and Villa score within 3 minutes

11:04 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

STARTS at 12 not scores

11:05 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

On correction to your table from earilier.
Citeh have only played 3 games

11:08 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton have gone close a couple of times on FSC but they can't find the way through

Villa still one up on VSS

11:11 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wigan go close but deflected wide

11:12 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Everton's putting on enormous pressure to start the second half but can't get the goal.

11:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Thanks for the corrections, mate. You're absolutely right that Citeh have only played 3. I hadn't noticed that FSC is showing the Everton match rather than the Villa this morning as KC has commandeered the telly and I'm following on trusty laptop.

11:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yes, Pantsil (love that name!) stuck one in his own net to give Villa an early lead. I may switch over to that one later. Fulham in a bit of bother.

11:14 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The own goal was nothing like Diaby's!!!


Wigan have taken the lead!!

11:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sharner with a stooping header at the back post

11:17 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

You knew that was coming. A surge by Wigan and Everton's defense does not mark. 1-0 Wigan.

11:18 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It's raining at Goodison

It's not raining, it's Liverpool crying!

11:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Wigan take a surprise 0-1 lead with Scharner sliding in at the back post to nod in a tasty cross.

11:19 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Did you see that Modric broke his leg yesterday?
He is going to be out for weeks. Not good news for Spurs but good news for England. He is out of the qualifier on Sept 9


Wigan hit the post

11:21 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

What on earth is going on at Everton? They've now slid underneath Pompey in 20th rock bottom spot. How long can Moyes last this?

Oooh, Gomez nearly added a second off the post.

11:22 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton have tied it up!!

11:22 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Saha was the head that got on to it

11:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lovely jubbly - I'm in at #3 in the Shut Up Voyeur predictions league with a total of 125 pts. this weekend.

11:23 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What were your predictions for today?

11:23 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Toffees respond. Saha header off a free kick!

11:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That does look like Saha on the end of it. He's the only one who's looked likely today. Why is "Hair Bear Bunch" Fellaini on the bench?

11:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I had the following:

Pompey 0 Citeh 3 (10 pts)
Everton 1 Wigan 0
Villa 2 Fulham 0

11:25 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

I'm sure Fellani will see some action today. His back's been a bother. I hope to see Jo stay on the bench.

11:26 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Fellani soon to take the field, replacing Osman. How about Yakubu for Cahill next?

11:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Here comes Hair Bear to the rescue, on for Osman.

11:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nearly straight in on the action. Wigan are rocking a bit.

11:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Wigan with some reinforcements coming on too.

11:34 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hair come Fellani for Saha.. I would have kept him on

11:37 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Jo is useless.

11:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No, he was already on. My bad. Jo on for Saha

11:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton should have done better there. He was offside too

11:38 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh, Joe opened up a chance for there after coming on for Saha but Rodwell blasted over with the goalkeeper prone.

11:39 AM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Jo kicks into the goalkeeper and Rodwell has a lot of net to shoot at and fires high.

Lost my link for the Villa game on VSS. I am now on atdhe

into the last ten at GP

11:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Five minutes left for the Toffees to make this pressure count.

11:45 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

4 minutes of added time

11:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wigan had a five on two but Sinclair kept it himself. GIVE IT UP!

11:51 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

92 minute and it is a penalty to Everton. I would say it was... absolutely

11:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Baines cracks it down the middle

2-1

11:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Baines used to play for Wigan... how ironic

11:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wigan should have scored twice before the penalty.




Jo hits the outside of the post on the break

11:54 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I would agree with you - decent penalty shout. Jo did embellish a bit but Moyes will be sleeping easier tonight after this result. Oh, and by the way, that's another fifteen points on my total.

11:55 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That is the final action

Everton win all three points.

Wigan's manager will not be pleased with that 5 on 2 squandered!


I am off to Lake George

Take care

Everton dig themselves out of the relegation zone on the basis of that win. Blackburn drop into the drop zone and Wigan are just outside. Very interesting battle developing already.

11:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Villa are 1-0 up at half-time.

11:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half an hour left at Villa Park. 1-0 there.

12:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Aston Villa have ended up 2-0 victors over Fulham, which leaves them in mid-table while Fulham drop near the relegation. It also bags me another 30 points on the predictions. Sweet!

3:25 PM  
Blogger Someone Said said...

Had a wonky internet connection today. I was mistaken about Jo today, he made things happen and drew the penalty.

Whew.

Now the Crew need to tie against the freaking Red Bulls!
