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!

FA Cup 3rd Round Live!

It's my favorite footie day of the year, when the big boys join up with the minnows in the 3rd round of the greatest knock-out competition in world sport. I'm fresh off the plane and looking forward to a weekend of giant-killing action. Do join me, eh?

I've got Soccer Saturday up and running through VSS and they're having a lovely long discussion about Leeds and the match tomorrow morning.

Very interesting. Paul Merson is tipping Jermaine Beckford to be heading to Arsenal this month. They certainly could use an out and out goalscorer while RVP is out but I don't think JB is Arsene's cuppa. I'd be surprised and of course I want him going nowhere.

8:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not surprisingly, the panel reckons that ManYoo will win easily tomorrow. Only Tony Cottee thinks it will be difficult at all. Merse thinks that Fergie will run out a full strength side - I can't see that happening merely because of an age-old rivalry. Fergie's too canny for that. He'll put out the kids but they'll still probably beat us handily as Liverpool's scrubs did earlier in the fall in the Carling.

Roberto Mancini has rung the changes today leaving Bellamy and Tevez on the bench and giving Petrov a match up front on a day that I'm sure he'd rather be putting his feet up with a cuppa.

Good morning chaps! Good to have you back state-side Bob. Thanks for the card Davey, but did you realize that that some wolf jumped up and got caught in the picture? I know you've got the climate for those animals, but aren't you supposed to domesticate them and then hitch them up to a sled? Outside?

Seriously, I miss a round of the FA cup that doesn't get played at some shed of a ground. I'd love to see what Barrow's home ground looked like for instance.

Beckford for us, eh? Can't see it. Merse must have a tenner on it.

Carlos Tevez has replaced De Jong at the beginning of the second half, so clearly Mancini wants to kill off Boro straight away.

Morning, Gooner! Doesn't look like your match v. the Hammers is on the box tomorrow. Surely some mistake, eh?

11:09 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Good point Davey. What is going on at Pompey? Does anyone really know what might get them wrapped up? Must be massive debt, or failure to pay massive taxes.

Either way, in my mind, it would have to follow that Peter Storrey has to be investigated for criminal negligence.

He was rocking the face-covering hijab look in the first half. A bit colder than Argentina in Boro today.

11:19 AM

Nah, Perry started at Colchester and would pop up in the crowd for their games when he wasn't playing for Arsenal. Anytime that he's interviewed, he ups Colchester. He's a legend there too.

Interesting fact about the Cup

In the last FIVE years, the team that knocks out Boro have been runners up in the Cup

11:40 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Again, I can't see Wenger spending money on a goalscoring forward that's not been proven in a top division. If we had fit RVP, a fit Bendtner, an in-form Eddie, an in-form keeper, and cover for Song during his Egyptian holiday, then maybe.

But we have Watt, Vela, Simpson, Sunu, Thomas.

He'll bring in a striker, but it's got to be a un-CL-cup-tied, top man with a proven goal record in one of the top leagues. Balotelli would do for me if he's not played in the CL this season.

11:40 AM

Isn't Simpson out on loan? You could use him right about now for sure.

1732: The plot thickens. Burnley boss Owen Coyle - heavily linked with the vacant Bolton job - did not appear for their post-match news conference after the 2-1 win at MK Dons. Burnley officials insisted that Coyle had to leave to catch a scheduled flight at Luton airport to see his family in Scotland. Hmm.

I think he has some inside power. He has gotten rid of all of his enemies

Reading goal: The day isn't dead quite yet. The Madejski erupts as Ryan Bertrand swings over a free-kick from the Reading right, Grzegorz Rasiak does brilliantly to keep it in at the far post and it hits Simon Church two yards out and flies into the Liverpool net.

"flies in the net"... it rolled in off his shin

I am pleased with this performance so far by Costa
I was scared that the last minute win at Villa Park was going to kickstart their season
