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!
Who is going to be holding up this trophy next weekend? We may find out a big part of the answer this weekend. Alas, I'll be on academic duty in Denver over the next couple of days, so I'll be relying on the LOB faithful for updates on the action. Have fun, lads!

Not much going on today in the Premier League
There is only one game with any importance.
In fact, I would be having Soccer Saturday on if it wasn't for rooting Bob's beloved to victory and possibly promotion TODAY!
Tomorrow is the BIG day and I may have to MISS IT!
I am supposed to have a game myself. I don't want to go!
Birmingham 2 Burnley 0 at half time
I have been viewing the second half. Both teams are going through the motions. Chucho has a shot blocked. The first significant action of the half.
That significant game today is next on FSC as Citeh host Villa. Citeh host Spurs on Wednesday. The match is on ESPN2 beginning at 2:55 EDT. Citeh's champions league hopes hinge on these two matches. As UWS stated, tomorrow is the BIG DAY.
So, the big games in League 1
Charlton vs Leeds
Tranmere vs Millwall
Advantage Millwall but things don't always go to form!
Some key matches today in League 1 as Leeds travel to Charlton and Millwall travel to Merseyside to take on Tranmere in a potentially tricky fixture. Tranmere are fighting against relegation and will not be in a charitable mood when they take on Millwall.
Good morning MUR
Burnley pull back a goal through David Thompson. 2-1 Brum. Burnley about to set an unwanted EPL record with 17 away defeats.
Good morning UWS.
Goal at St. Andrew's for Burnley with only a couple of minutes to go
That's a final . 2-1 Brum and Burnley set an EPL record with 17 away defeats.
Off to take a walk with Kathy and Shadow
Be back soon
Citeh vs Villa about to kickoff in twenty minutes. Citeh with two consecutive home matches against teams fighting for a champions league spot. The match of the day in League one is at The Valley as Charlton host Leeds. Both teams are fighting for the final automatic promotion spot with two games remaining.
Have fun UWS.
Citeh vs Villa as the match begins. Citeh with the early pressure.
Martin Fulop starting in goal for Citeh as the Sky Blues face an injury crisis at the goalkeeping position.
Richard Dunne will be keen to impress against Citeh as they considered him surplus to requirements at Citeh. He scored in the corresponding fixture at Villa park in September as the teams drew 1-1. Both teams will want three points today.
The girls have a softball game. I will be back later this morning. Take care UWS and Blue Devil.
I am back
So, the scores as I return
Charlton 0 Leeds 0
Tranmere 0 Millwall 0
In the Prem
Villa beating Citeh and that is it
Pompey have taken the lead against Wolves
I would think Bob would take the scores right now with one to play
League 2 Champions are already 3-0 up
Still no goals after the half hour
Charlton have a shot 'fantastically saved' according to our mate Chris K at The Valley
County are four up
Swindon and Brentford are level at one.
Does it matter?
Leeds get a great chance but their center back misses from close in
L1 Champs have taken the lead at Bristol Rovers
Knock the stuffing out of Rovers so they have no will power next week at Elland Road
Wolves tie it up at Fratton Park
If the scores stay the same, VILLA will be in fourth but Spurs will have a game in hand and two points back. Citeh will have a game in hand but 4 points back
It also means that Liiiivvveerpooool still have a chance for fourth! A must win tomorrow
Still early!
All change, Spurs take the lead with a great goal by Huddlestone
Tevez to take...not a well taken pen but it goes under Brad and it is 1-1
Villa go straight down the other end and almost score through Carew! Off the bar and then Adebayor goes straight down and puts Citeh ahead!
Pompey retake the lead!
BTW FSC is ahead of SS... WOW
Goals all over the place in the Prem but still all quiet on the L1 front
This is not good for Liiiveeerpooool's chances of the CL
They are now 5 points behind with two games to go and both of them will be 6 ahead if they draw on Wednesday
If one wins it is over but...
Penalty at Prenton Park..... to Tranmere... ONE NIL!!!!!
Swindon have taken the lead!
The Leeds fans are cheering at the Valley but the players aren't doing much on the pitch
That Swindon goal means they still have a shot!
As the tables stands
Leeds 84
Millwall 82
Swindon 82
So, if it stays the same then Leeds would need only a draw if Millwall don't win by more than one goal
Swindon and Millwall play each other next week
Norwich are two up against Leeds' opponents for next week
Backburn and Arsenal are on ESPN2 at Noon on Bank Holiday Monday
We really need an Everton goal to put pressure on Liiiiveeerpppoool to have to get something to keep ahead of their crosstown rivals
Second half underway around the country
Come on Leeds... make it count
Let's have Bob feel MILE HIGH in the Mile High state!
Adam Johnson is Citeh's best player... is he going to go on the plane?
Still no goals in the Championship!
Of course, it may because the games are all being played tomorrow!!!!!
Celtic take the lead against Motherwell but it doesn't matter. Rangers are champs
Stoke miss a sitter.
Everton still in with a shot of catching their city rivals
Still all quiet at the Valley
FSC still on good timing with SS
Gillingham are two nil up against Sotton
Anyone watching SS? There's a reporter that I swear is channeling Eric Idle. You can't take him seriously.
Big Nose a bit excitable about Bolton being still in it against the Spuds.
Still no change in L1
Millwall are pushing
Leeds still not doing much
Swing Low sweet Halibut!
Grimsby take the lead against the team directly above them in the table outside of the drop zone.
They would be one behind with one to play for League survival
Leeds almost score
Swindon have extended their lead to 3-1
Again, Swindon visit the Den next week
Brentford get a goal right back 3-2
Charllton go oh so close
Ball hits the crossbar and it comes to a Charlton player that just needs to knock it in but hits it over
Millwall go close and so do Tranmere still 1-0
Tranmere have doubled their lead!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON LEEDS... score and END IT!!
Bob doesn't ask for much!
Andy Robinson scores for Tranmere.
He is only to Tranmere... from LEEDS!
Sotton get a goal back at the Gills
20 to go at all of the matches
Come on you Whites
Goal at Fratton Park
Pompey 3 Wolves 1
1627: Younes Kaboul - playing like some kind of Spurs superman - clears off the line from Matt Taylor to keep it Spurs 1-0 Bolton.
Villa really need to score!!1
Norwich extend their lead to three
Everton have a goal disallowed at Stoke
Okay, 15 minutes to go
IT IS LEEDS TIME!
Citeh's best player, Adam Johnson, has been replaced by SWP
Colchester have tied it up at Huddersfield
If the scores stay the same
Leeds will have 84 and either Millwall or Swindon could still get 85!
Almost there
Villa have ten minutes to score TWO
I really need an Everton goal sharpish!
Ashley runs into the box but hits a cross far too high and hard. A waste!
Notts County 5 Cheltenham 0
The big match on Wednesday at Eastlands is on ESPN2
Hardly any action at Valley!
Chris K is very disappointed with Leeds
They could be promoted!
Bolton go very close at WHL. Gomes with the save
Tevez coming off for Micah Richards
OH NO!!!
Charlton score in the last minute!!!
Bellamy scores for Citeh 3-1
That goal for Charlton is a punch in the gut!1
Still... it is still in their own hands for next week!
Gomes hurts himself... is he going to be okay for Wednesday?
Someone, not sure which team, hits the post and goes across the box at Charlton
Citeh have won
Villa are out of the CL
Grimsby have double their lead. They are safe for another week
Bugger
Stoke 0 Everton 0
I REALLY needed Everton to win
Spurs should have doubled they lead but they miss like they did against Chelsea
Spurs win!
JB has a header saved!
Tranmere 2 Millwall 0
Result!!
Huddersfield get a late winner against Colchester
Charlton have beaten Leeds!
Sorry mate!
Still, it is still in your own hands with a home match!
So, here is League 1 as it stands with ONE game to go
Norwich- who cares
Leeds 83 +32
Millwall 82 +31
Swindon 82 +17
Charlton 81 +21
Next week's games
Leeds vs Bristol Rovers
Millwall vs Swindon
Oldham vs Charlton
Advantage Leeds!
Not a good result today but it could have been far far worse
A home game to be promoted..... it's going to happen
I am off to play some golf with the boys
I hope I am around tomorrow
Take care
UWS
Thanks for the gripping reportage lads. I am Mile High but not exactly feeling Mile High about that last minute own goal. Still - we win, we go up - simple as that. And I will be there next weekend for all the action!!
A full slate of matches are about to kickoff in the championship. Costa VS Chelski to kickoff in about thirty minutes. Come on you REDS.
The key matches in the championship are Wednesday vs Palace where the hosts Wednesday must win to avoid the drop. If they win then Palace are relegated. One final playoff spot to be decided between Blackpool and Swansea. Blackpool decide their destiny as they host Bristol City. A victory will insure them a playoff spot.If they lose then Swansea can clinch a playoff spot with a victory over Doncaster.
Reading take the lead against Preston. The remaining matches in the championship are goalless.
Wednesday with all the early pressure vs Palace. Speroni ,the Palace keeper, Has made two comfortable saves.
Palace nearly take the lead as they force the Weednesday keeper into a great save from a free kick.
Good Morning MUR. I have skipped my game to follow it all.

I have a link going from atdhe
I hope it works the whole time
COME ON LIIIIVEEEERPOOOL!
Now Blackpool 0 Bristol City 1 . A draw would not be enough for Swansea as they have a far inferior goal difference to Blackpool.
Coventy 0 Watford 2
Scunthorpe0 Forest 1
Reading 2 Preston 0
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone. You'll never walk alone
Palace are beating Wednesday
Bad new for SW
Good morning MUR.It is great to see you.Time for the REAL action as I spent thirty minutes watching championship updates.
Liverpool won the toss. They are attacking the Kop in the second half
We're off
Lamps shoots first and goes wide.
Keep shooting like that please
God Morning everyone .
Come on Chelsea !!!
I have the Sheffield / Palace game
live on BBC1 .
8 minutes gone and still scoreless. I will take that score
Drogba is off getting treatment
Good morning Tony. As a United fan I will be cheering for the Reds in this match.
Good morning Bruv
Come on Liiiiveeerrrrpooool
Agreed UWS.W e need to do the job at Sunderland later this morning.
The commentator just said exactly what I was thinking
Anfiled is QUIET!
oooh
Aqualini hits a great shot and grazes the top of the bar and net
Bugger... just lost my link!
Thankfully found a new link on p2p for Veetle
Good equalizer for Wed .
Sheff Wednesday have tied it up.
They need a win
I have a soft spot for Wednesday for some reason. I don't like Shef Utd.
I am rooting for them today but I feel bad for Palace. They have had points deducted and they had a perfectly good goal not noticed earlier this season. That could have meant the point they needed
Is Hillsborogh full Tony?
Nice passing move by Liverpool but a horrible cross from Mascherano
Hillsborough is full to the brim
and rocking . Apparently the whole
place is vibrating .
Newcastle are drawing at Loftus Road. That would get them the point they need for the Ton
20 minutes gone at Anfield
Both teams look nervy!
Bugger
Just lost my link again
Come back please!
Half time at Wed
I have had trouble with different links. Still goalless at Anfield. Blackpool still in the driver's seat for the final playoff spot. I would like to see Swansea get the final playoff place as I have a soft spot for them.
I have found another link working but it is not Martin Tyler
Malouda gets a yellow for a high foot into the goolies
This match can stay like this the whole 90 minutes
Lucas gives his best Johnny Wilkinson impersonation!
Chelsea look very subdued! Why?
Aqualani has an opening in the box but makes nothing of it!
I finally found a working link. Aqualani wastes a chance then half-heartedly appeals for a penalty. Drogs to the delight of the Liverpool fans runs into the advertisements.
I am stunned how quiet Anfield is!
As soon as you find a link, mine goes down!
BUGGER. Drogs scores for Chelski.
Costa 0 Chelski1
BUGGER!!
I lose a link but find an SS link and notice Chelsea have scored!!!!
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER!!!!
Chelski currently control the destiny of the EPL chamionship. COME ON YOU REDS!!!
Drogba after 33 minutes
It has not been deserved from what I have seen
Chelsea go close again
Nearly 2-0 as my link stutters.
I now have a Soccer Special and the Anfield game on
Of course, 15 years ago Blackburn took the lead at Anfield and Liverpool came back and won!
Great saving tackle there off Anelka's foot
Was the goal from a mistake by Gerrard?
Well, we may have to put all of our eggs into a Wigan basket
Maxi Rodriguez is coming off for Babel
Just keep it close at Anfield and then we'll take an og off of Terry tush
Ryann Babbel on for Maxi Rodriguez who limps off injured. Benitez may be preoccupied with the job offer from Juventus.
Blackpool could be in the playoffs!
Last minute of the half
Come on Liverpool
If they play like this, they don't deserve ANY European games next season!
Pompey are still going to appeal
Chelsea should have had a penalty
He clipped his feet but no Pen given. Should have a been a pen and Red
I hope that comes back to hurt Chelsea
WELL DONE ALAN WILEY!
Did you have a bottle of Claret with Sir Alex last night
Half time
Liverpool 0 Chelsea 1
The Chelsea players are surrounding the ref at the end of the half
Come on Liverpool
Great ending of the season for Tractor Roys!
Losing two nil at home!
A wayward backpass by Gerrard for the Drogba goal
He meant to do it!
Come on you REDS. If they lose then they are eliminated from a Champions League spot. Now Blackpool 1 Bristol City 1. Swansea would still need a win to clinch the final playoff spot.
Ispwich are now three nil down and a man down
Palace score
Palace take the lead
Disaster for Wednesday
Beat me to it Tony
I am watching the first half highlights of the match
Can't wait to see Gerrard's gift!
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC BY GERRARD!!!
Beautiful through ball you pillock!!
Newcastle take the lead against 10 man QPR.
There is an article on soccernet where Dave Kitson feels Tony Pulis is picking on him, but will stay if he is wanted at the club. Kitson is now a professional comedian.
Gerard is a joke. I will hate him even more than I do now if his stupid idiotic mistake costs us the championship.My video gave out when he made the back pass.
Second half underway
Come on KOP...suck one in
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
Lampard has scored!
COSTA DEL POOL SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on you REDS. Palace still ahead and seem to be safe.
We can't count on COSTA for anything.
WE LOVE YOU WIGAN WE DO
WE LOVE YOU WIGAN WE DO
WE LOVE YOU WIGAN WE DO
OH WIGAN WE LOVE YOU
United... you HAVE to beat Sunderland!
Watford are FOUR up at Coventry
Come on Costa... get a goal and make things interesting. Boy I wish Everton had won yesterday and still had a chance of catching Costa
They don't deserve squat this season
I am unable to find a working link. I will look at score updates. Wednesday seem doomed and Blackpool appear to be in the playoffs.
Babel gets in the box but cleared by Terry.
I have the first link on
www.atdhe.net
Costa will be in the Europa League next season. With Benitez apparently heading to Turin who will be his successor?
I saw today that rumors are that Roy Hodgeson could go to Anfield
Come.... just get a goal Costa
Still 30 to go
Two goals.. no way. Costa can't create anything
Swansea get a goal but it disallowed. They need a goal to make the playoffs
Who'da thunk it that Blackpool could be in the prem!
Blackpool are in the playoffs!!!
Won 6 of 8 last
A goal at Wednesday for the host.
Two minutes to get one goal!
Champions, Newcastle, win 1-0 and end on 102 points
Well done Toon.... a long way from losing 6-1 at Orient
The Tractor Roys end a very disappointing season with a 3-0 loss
Keeper in the other box... mayhem at hillsborough
Tahnks for the link UWS. Nearly 3-0 Chelski. The Tractor Roys definitely have room for improvement.
5 added minutes
Great save by Pepe
Tony... it sounds amazing in Sheffield
Are you watching
Blackpool are in the playoffs. Still 2-2 at Hillsborough.
SS panel going crazy
Amazing
Yes I am Dave .
I sent a post at 2 2 but I sent it
to the wrong place .
All over !!!
It is over!
Palace survive!!
What an amazing couple of minutes!
Palace fans on the pitch
They are quite happy
36,000 fans at Hillsboro!
They always have great fans
Free kick chance for Costa
Don't let Gerrard take hit.... he'll shoot on his own goal
Costa try to be to fancy... idiots!!
JUST SHOOT!!
That really was a good last few
minutes .
So, the Championship season is over
Newcastle Champions
WBA Promoted
Play offs
Nottm Forest vs Blackpool
Cardiff vs Leicester
Relegate
Peterboro
Plymouth
Sheff Wed
N'gog on for the hapless Aqualani. It is a case of too little too late.
I predict Forest vs Cardiff City in the playoff final with Cardiff City winning promotion.
Now there are not good scenes at Hillsborogh
Police with batons
Good signs for Bob
Two of the teams in the playoffs were promoted last season from L1!
I am rooting for Forest
Ten minutes to go
Costa are useless
I agree Dave . I'd like to see
Forest back in the Prem .
Rooney is starting according to the
radio .
Lovely jubbley with the Wayne news
If Leeds win promotion I predict that they will make the playoffs.Leicester is the only play off team promoted from League 1. This is Blackpool's second season in the championship. Both have Ian Halloway connections.
Useless shot by Agger
Forest were promoted last season
it is too easy for Chelski. Costa need to go for goal instead of persisting with the short passing game.
Come on Costa... just score one to make it interesting
As my bruv said, Rooney in the starting line up
Rio on the bench
Under 5 to go
I truthfully think Wigan will give Chelsea a better game than Costa have done today!
Just keep your fingers crossed for
Rooney . Bob won't be happy with
that news .
