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!

A Rather Special Weekend

After a year of struggling with my old one, I'm rocking a brand new MacBook Air laptop this weekend and really looking forward to a weekend of English footer. Join me for the celebration from 7:45 am for the Brummie Derby.

I'm back for the Brummie derby, looking forward to a super day. We've got several interesting matches at 10 am, including Arsenal v. Sunderland. That includes a full slate of Championship matches including a big Yorkshire Derby between my beloved Leeds and Doncaster Rovers. And the late one is an intriguing fixture that see high-flying Citeh hosting lowly Wigan. With around ten fixtures to go in the season, it's all crucial.

Here we go then. The preview show for the Brummie derby. Lovely.

Marvelous - It's Ian Drury and Macca at pitch side at St. Andrews. The coverage these days is just phenomenal.

Brum come into the match at 16th on 30 points from 26 matches. West Brom have played two more but are only a point behind. They've got inferior GD though - -17 to Brum's -10.

7:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

WBA get us underway at St. Andrews, looking a bit like England away with their red away kit.

7:46 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Kick-off hasn't changed much for either side - just adding a point for both of them. WBA would leapfrog Brum with a win, though. And Brum would leapfrog both Blackpool and Blackburn into 14th with a win.

Good morning BD. I will be here until early in the second half when I have to bugger off to present at an AP prep session. How is the new laptop?

7:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morrison sticks a nice chip over and Chris Brunt manages to get his header on target. No power in it.

7:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

THis seems like a losers bowl local derby.

7:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, MUR - I can't tell you how wonderful the new laptop is. The old one had become really fragile so I always had to worry about it. And it couldn't do things like stream certain videos, use Netflix or Skype. This one can do the lot.

Hope you're doing well.

7:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It is very much the loser's bowl. The only thing that adds to the intrigue is Brum's Cup heroics. They're coming off the improbable Carling Cup win last weekend and have an FA Cup Quarterfinal match next weekend. Will they start to drop off in their league form as a consequence?

7:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

How often do you do the AP prep?

7:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I would have to favor Brum in this match as they are the better organized team. Brum will be in the Europa League as a result of their Carling Cup win.

7:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

This will be my first time presenting . I am a little nervous.

7:56 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Alex McLeish made six changes to the Wembley side for today, which indicates that he's got an eye on next weekend's Cup fixture.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

How was your week?Hope it was a great week.

7:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm sure that you'll be a hit today. It's a usual side-line. I did lots of SAT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT prep in my day.

7:57 AM

WBA have played more long ball since Woy became their manager.

7:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - I had a good teaching week and then I had a research meeting at Buffalo State yesterday, which was a good excuse to hit the Apple store, along with my favorite Chinese grocery.

7:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thank you very much, BD.I will be presenting Statistics topics such as confidence intervals, means , and proportions.

7:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Buffalo is a big city, so there must be many things to keep a person busy in when visiting Buffalo.

8:00 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ouch - I was rotten at Statistics. I took one course as an undergrad and another in my doctoral experience. There were plenty of evenings in the latter when I was completely lost. I could have used you in my study group.

8:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Exactly - Buffalo is "the Big City" around here so I try to take advantage when I get up there. I'll often hit my favorite Indian buffet, my favorite indie movie theatre, bookshop, Chinese grocery and so on.

8:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will be happy to help you if you need any help.

8:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The nearest "big Cities" to Harlingen are San Antonio, which is a four hour drive, and Houston , which is a five hour drive.

8:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jon Champion stated that Edson Buddle had a trial with one of these two teams , but failed.

8:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Thanks - I may take you up on that. My research is entirely qualitative, partially in order to avoid crunching the numbers but mostly because that model fits my interests. But I may well be tapped to teach an Intro to Research Methods course next year, which would mean representing both Qual and Quant.

8:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

If Brum, Wolves, and WBA get relegated, then three Birmingham area teams will be relegated. I wonder if three local teams have been relegated in the same season. I have known of two.

8:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's a shame. A lot of American players have tried and failed in Europe recently. For every Clint Dempsey there are ten Eddie Davies. Speaking of which, Charlie Davies is the new "star" for D.C. United in the upcoming year. Gooner is excited but it represents his failure to recover his form after his injury.

8:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick from Bentley is headed clear by Meite, then Fahey blasts over from long range.

8:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I don't remember all three having been relegated. My dad is always big on the representation of teams in the Premiership. His ideal is to have a team from East Anglia, a team from the south coast, a team from Wales, a team from West Yorkshire, a team from Cumbria and so on in the Premiership.

8:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fortune is flagged offside for WBA.

8:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That sounds like a great idea, but I don't see every region being represented in the same season. We have come close a few times.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have a feeling Brum will survive because they have a better defense then their fellow strugglers.

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

That is the thing about Texas - it is so huge that you can probably drive ten hours and still be in Texas, right? Within two hours of here, I can hit not only Buffalo but Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Rochester, and Erie. Expand that to four hours and you can include Columbus, Syracuse, and Detroit.

8:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am sure Gooner will be happy to see Charlie Davies at C United. He will be a good addition. Gooner an I have had some interesting banter once our quarterfinal match became official.

8:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree - if I had to guess today, I'd pick West Ham, Wolves and Wigan for the drop. Three "W"s. I can't feel sad for West Ham, despite WHR's presence - they were rubbish last season and barely survived and there they are again.

8:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Scharner is down injured. I thought Roger Johnson was going for the ball.

8:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Jerome picks off a pass and tries a quick one from distance. Didn't quite get it right.

8:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Actually , the Hammers will probably end up with more points than last season even if they are relegated. This means that Avram is a better manager than Zola.

8:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

You are correct about Texas. El Paso is a fourteen hour drive. The quickest route to leave Texas from Harlingen takes eight hours.

8:14 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Despite living in London, my dad thinks that the capital is over-represented: Arsenal, Spurs, Chelski, Fulham, and West Ham. QPR is likely to be added next season. Of course, at 87 it's been a long time since he went to a live match. He's much happier watching at home these days.

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

You have a fantastic proximity to many cities. You seem to be in a great location.

8:15 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

So how often do you head to San Antonio? I'd love to go some day - I've only ever been to Dallas and Houston. Would love to tour the Alamo, of course.

8:15 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It is - of course, a lot of it is "Rust Belt," so cities such as Erie, PA and Detroit (and even Buffalo) have definitely seen better days. Cities such as Pittsburgh and Columbus are coming back slightly, though.

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The capital is heavily represented because that is where the money is and many great players want to be in London.

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I go to San Antonio once or twice a year. The Alamo is always crowded with tourists. There is a lot of sight seeing available.

8:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

What do you bet that our friend UWS is tucked up in bed watching the match? I tried to Skype him earlier to test out my new laptop but got no response from his end.

8:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fantastic counter by Jerome Thomas, but Brunt blasts well over.

8:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think you are correct BD. I have difficulty getting out of bed some mornings.

8:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Should Zigic start for Brum as he is on a scoring run. Jerome has not scored in ages. Why does he start?

8:22 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Jerome nearly finds the net with a cute header.

8:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jerome heads just wide as I was criticizing him .

8:22 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm assuming that Alex McLeish is saving Zigic for the Cup match next weekend. He made six changes today. That's the problem with Cup runs - they can be distractions.

8:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great cross from Martins and a tame volley from Jerome.

8:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

This match desperately needs a goal to open it up.

8:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I believe you are correct,BD. I have a feeling Brum will defeat Bolton next weekend.

8:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I've just sent you a Skype confirmation for this account, btw.

8:24 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Brum are starting to take control of this match. They seem the more likely team to score.

8:25 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Arsenal v. United quarterfinal clears the path for several sides.

8:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will check that confirmation . Probably in the afternoon once I get home from the prep session.

8:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gooner claims Smalling and Brown are a weak defensive pairing. As if Kos and Squillachi are world beaters. Are we looking at a 5-5 draw in this encounter?

8:26 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poor cross from WBA after some decent possession.

8:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

There is one minute of stoppage time.

8:30 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It has been a poor half from both teams. as it is 0-0 at halftime.

Half-time, then. UWS has finally woken up, the lazy sod.

GOAL! Beausejour has nipped in to knock home a terrific Banjo Boy.
