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!

I am on the Citeh link and am listening to Joe Theismann doing a Super Beta Prostate ad. It's as if he's talking about Man Citeh!Perfect theme for the match at the Etihad!

Tev is starting for the first time in the EPL since September. Odemwingie and and Fortune are on the bench as we kick off from the Etihad.

2:46 PM

Lee Mason , who gave the controversial penalty decision at OT us replaced by Kevin Friend as he is supposedly having fitness problems.

2:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

We're off from OT!!
COME ON MAN UNITED!

2:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Aguero goes on a solo run, but has a shot blocked by Billy Jones.

2:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Carrick fouls Shaun Maloney just outside the box for an early Wigan free kick.

2:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fortunately, the Wigan free kick amounted to nothing.

2:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER !!! AGUERO GIVES CITEH THE LEAD!!A TYPICAL GOAL AS HE GOES ON A SOL RUN AND EASILY BEATS FOSTER FROM ABOUT 25 YARDS.

2:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A let off for United as they give the ball away just outside the box and Victor Moses nearly took advantage.A poor start from United!

WAKE UP UNITED

2:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great save by De Gea as he tiped over from a Wigan short corner.

2:55 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

De Gea punches away the next Wigan corner and a shot from Beausejour goes out for a United throw.

2:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's been a really sluggish start from United. I am not sure. After all,they are only going for an EPL title

2:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nasty foul by Di Santo on Evans and I am surprised he wasn't booked.A useless effort from Tev after a one-two with Nasri.

2:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wigan had 63% of the possession in the first ten minutes.
KNOCK IT OFF YOU LATICS!

3:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

As Usual it's rainy and windy in Manchester.

3:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Arsenal lead 0-2 at Molineaux thanks to goals from RVP and Theo and Seb Bassong has been sent off for Wolves.Will the Gunners run up the score?

3:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Maloney did well to get past Phil Jones , but his cross was headed away.

3:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Al Habsi does well to gather a through ball from the on rushing Valencia, but he was flagged offside.

3:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Better from United as AL Habsi saves from Giggs after a five man passing move on the break. Phil Jones heads wide from the corner taken by Giggs.

3:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A rash effort from Maynard Figueroa from about 40 yards out that is high and wide.

3:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

SAF must agree with me because he giving some of the players a right rollicking.

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Billy Jones cleared as David Silva was through on goal, then Foster saves from Silva on the next possession.

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jonny Evans is booked as he fouls Di Santo to prevent a Wigan break.Fortunately it was a useless Wigan free kick.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now Roon fouls MacArthur to the side of the box.

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick from Wigan eludes everyone.

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick from Wigan eludes everyone.

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Useless short corner from David Silva. A training ground routine gone all wrong.Mancini concurs.

3:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Victor Moses us offside to end a promising Wigan attack after he ruined a great through ball from Di Santo by having his back to the play and letting the ball bounce off the back of his heel when he could have been through on goal.

3:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now SAF is lecturing Roon on the side line. Our gaffer is not a happy chappy. It's reminding a lot of the game at Ewood park a few weeks ago.

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great West Brom attack as Shane Long sent Simon Cox through down the right, who put in a useless cross.Victor Moses has a goal bound shot deflected for a corner.

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

DAMN IT!!!

PHEW !~!!

VICTOR MOSES SCORED A HEADER OFF THE CORNER, BUT THE LINESMAN;S FLAG WAS UP. I'M NOT SURE WHY.

3:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Richards was through on goal and had a shot cleared off the line by Dawson.

3:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great through ball from Tev.

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The announcer says that the goal was dis allowed for a foul, but I did not see one.LUCKY UNITED!
Roberto looked bemused and rightly so.

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It was a superb corner from Shaun Maloney and disgraceful defending from Evra as he lest Moses unmarked. Trevor Francis says it must have been for a foul on De Gea.That's the only thing I can think of, but it seemed rather soft; minimal contact.

3:21 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

COME ON UNITED! START PLAYING DECENT FOOTBALL!

3:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's hard to tell which side is top of the table and which is battling relegation.

3:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Afternoon, MUR - how are you, mate?

3:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

West Brom concede a corner from about thirty yards out.

3:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good afternoon ,BD. I'm doing great . How are you?

3:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am not happy with the United performance. It has been really poor.

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Balo Is in the Director's Box. Almost a reward for being sent off.

3:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm crazy busy prepping for Vancouver, but I've got half an eyeball on the scores this afternoon. I see that Arse are cruising and Citeh have got an early advantage that's chopped the gap between you two to six points.

3:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Correct. We are luck it's not five after this performance. Wigan had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

3:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am watching United on FSC and Citeh on the usual link.

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will be in Dallas on Saturday , but will be chatting from the hotel room.

3:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ian Darke says there will be one minute of stoppage time from the Etihad.

3:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Well wide by Roon after being set up nicely by Giggs. Into stoppage time at Eastlands.

3:32 PM

One minute if stoppage time from the DW.

3:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 1-0 to Citeh.

3:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 0-0 from the DW as it ended with Wigan putting together about twenty passes, but not getting a shot off.

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Steven Caldwell, who was called for the foul, let's Phil Dowd have it as they head for the tunnel.

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am off to Evil Loftus Raod as it is evil QPR 0 Swansea 0 with ten minutes plus stoppage time remaining in the half.

3:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rangel shot tamely at Paddy Kenny to end what seemed like a twenty pass possession.

3:39 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jaime Mackie has a shot deflected for a corner.

3:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Worm dropped a corner from Taarabt and Zamora shot well over from close range.

3:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners lead 0-2 at Wolves thanks to two goals in two minutes. RVP scored from the spot after Bassong was sent off while conceding the penalty, then Theo scored two minutes later. One minute of stoppage time from Loftus Road.

3:46 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER!!! NEIL TAYLOR CONCEDES A CHEAP FREE KICK AND THE FREE KICK WAS HEADED AWAY, THEN JOE BARTON SCORED FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX.1-0 EVIL QPR.

3:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 1-0 to Evil QPR..

3:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It looks like Cleverley came on as a halftime sub, but for whom.We're off from the DW.

3:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cleverley was on for Ashley Young and Roon is out on the left. United cannot play any worse than they did in the first half. They are lucky it's still 0-0.

3:52 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great cross from Tev and Volleyed just wide by Nasri.

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Victor Moses fails to part the Red Sea even though he thought he did in the first half.

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Beausejour wins a corner that wasn't . great defending by Phil Jones as he never touched the ball.

3:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BLOODY HELL !!! 1-0 WIGAN AS THEY SCORE OFF THE SHORT CORNER . IT WAS NEVER A CORNER AND UNITED PAY THE PRICE FOR POOR OFFICIATING . IT WAS TAKEN SHOT TO SHAUN MALONEY WHO WAS ALLOWED TO CUT INTO A GREAT POSITION AND SCORED WITH A SUPERB CURLED EFFORT INTO THE CORNER FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX.

3:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

rOON SHOOTS JUST OVER FROM LONG RANGE.

3:57 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell - I've just looked up and seen that Wigan have scored. What's going on? Are you trying to give Citeh a chance? Sorry, mate.

3:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I guess that makes up for a perfectly good goal that was disallowed, but the corner should not have been given as the last touch came off of Beausejour, not Phil Jones. Either way, United gave Maloney acres of space off the short corner and paid the price

COME ON UNITED ! SCORE!

3:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thanks, mate. we have been poor and deserve to be trailing.

3:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chicharito, who has been a virtual spectator, is replaced by Danny Welbeck.

4:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Maloney is fouled just outside the box by Jonny Evans.

4:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

What's up Chicha's bum these days. Roon's being replaced now - for Nani? Has Fergie lost the plot?

4:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Citeh are 3-0 up over hapless WBA today. Goals from Aguero, Tevez and Silva.

4:10 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

4-0 now! Crikey! They've bested your GD now.

4:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I missed the two Citeh goals as my computer needed to be restarted due to some problems . I will try again.

4:11 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

QPR have a priceless 1-0 lead over the Swans courtesy of Joey Barton.

4:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's gone all wrong this afternoon as the title race is wide open again. The last thing I wanted.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Diame is on for Di Santo. Not sure about SAF , but that sub was a weird one as your favorite United player came on for Roon.

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Valencia wins a corner off of Maloney.

4:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Al Habsi punches the corner from Giggs,

Blogger manunitedrules said...

Phil Jones is limping while James MacArthur is injured for Wigan as United have a free kick just outside the box.

4:24 PM

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Zabaletta is on for Silva , who scored earlier with a great finish.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Can't tell whether or not Figueroa handeled in the box and Victor Moses was through on goal, but shot right at De Gea.PHEW!

4:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cor - Wigan are really pouring it on now!

4:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Great save by Al Habsi from welbeck after being put through by Cleverley.

4:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

All the results are going against me on a horrible night.The worst case scenario.

Blogger manunitedrules said...

WELL STATED!

WILL THE REAL UNITED PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

4:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Phil Jones is booked for a challenge on Figueroa as he was up in attack.

4:29 PM

4:35 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree, BD.What have we to lose by doing that.

4:35 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The match is wide open now, much to the dislike of Roberto Martinez.

4:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lump it!

4:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Time to score two stoppage time goals like we did in the 1999 CL Final.

4:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I second that, BD.

4:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That's it and Citeh defeat West Brom 4-0.

Useless Swansea free kick fails to beat the first man.

4:46 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

19 league goals for Aguero now. Still quite a few shy of RVP's 27.

4:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great second goal by Aguero, then Tev scored his first goal in almost a year before Silva finished the scoring with a cheeky chip.

4:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think the scoring title has been wrapped up by RVP.

4:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Three minutes of stoppage time from Loftus Road.

4:48 PM

Jaime Mackie has been named MOTM.

Swansea win a corner off of Taiwo.

4:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The header is wide from the corner and the Evil Ugly Duckling Rangers defeat the nice Swans 3-0.

4:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The bottom of the table is as follows:

Villa 35 pts -9 gd
Evil QPR 31 pts -18 gd
Wigan 31 pts -26 gd
Bolton 29 pts -29 gd
Blackburn 28 pts -25 gd
Wolves 22 pts -39 gd

Those victories moved the Evil Rangers and Wigan out of the drop zone and their places are taken by Bolton and Blackburn.
