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!

Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Division Semi Final Live!

It may not be the marquee event of the afternoon, but my eyes will be glued on the Mighty Whites clash against Accrington Stanley in order to make the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Division. Heady days at the Elland, eh?

Oh, there are one or two Premiership matches on as well. Ho hum.

I'm back at about the ten minute mark of this afternoon's matches and I'm delighted to see that my boys are already 1-0 up over Accrington Stanley through a goal from our new boy Ephraim.

United only drawing with Wolves after 13 minutes

Birmingham have taken the lead against Blackburn

Villa have gone 0-1 up over Sunderland through big Emile Heskey in the 24th minute. It's been a great week for the Villans who are now back in third and breathing down United's throats.

From the Beeb
2016: A word from Johnstone's Paint Macca if you don't mind... "No disrespect to the JP Trophy, but the competition has rarely enjoyed such a night like tonight. Southampton meet Norwich, a Premier League fixture just four years ago, while Leeds are also in action at home to Accrington, along with two other games. There's goals in three of them already - Hereford 0-1 MK Dons, Leeds 1-0 Accrington and Southampton 1-0 Norwich."

More good news for Birmingham fans. Even Cameron Jones is scoring these days and has shot them into the lead against Blackburn. Believe it or not, that launches them into sixth ahead of both Citeh and Liverpool, who are now in 8th!

United need a goal to settle the nerves. Oh, and Roon nearly supplied it there. A whisker past the post.

I'm about done with the Chinese commentary here. It sounds like the cooks yelling at each other at my local takeaway.

I'll take a Kung Pao, a Hot and Sour and two egg rolls, mate!

Okay, politically incorrect comments over from me. I'm searching for another link.

I can't get the usual Sporting Life link up so I haven't seen the Leeds side yet, but I'm not surprised. It's a crushing schedule for us these days and even for us the JPT is not a priority.

3:40 PM

Yellow card for Castillo there for a hack on Valencia.

Here's the Leeds side for tonight:

Kilkenny

So, pretty much the established second team there.

My predictions for the Prem today btw:

Sunderland 0 Villa 1 (that's good so far).

Birmingham 2 Blackburn 0

Bolton 1 West Ham 1

United 3 Wolves 0

So far so good.

Accrington Stanley... who are they? Exactly!

3:55 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Interesting statistic there. Leeds are the only side in the country who haven't been behind at half-time. Of course, there have been plenty of 0-0ers at half time with late, late shows for us. But we look home and hosed today.

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wow, that is a stunning fact!

3:57 PM

What was that Wolves defender doing for United's pen?

Carlisle make it 2-0. So it looks like us v. them on January 19. We'll take them.

Still no score at the Reebok but apparently West Ham are living dangerously. The Hammers could easily go down at this rate.

The commentator thinks that the Stanley could be 2-3 up. Struth!

What on earth is going on with Zola and the Hammers.

4:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well, well, well - the Hammers evened it up but Rob Green's just had a howler and it's 2-1 Bolton again. My 2-2 draw prediction may still be on.

4:37 PM

what a mistake by Green. Drops the ball right in front of goal 2-1 Bolton
