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!

Election Day Footer

Those pesky Europeans are pretending as if there isn't a big event that will keep those of us in the States busy today and have scheduled a full slate of Champions League Gameday 4 and Championship matches today. As usual on a Tuesday, I'll be teaching all afternoon and will be checking in and out during my breaks. Drop by for a cuppa if you have a chance.

WHat a match at the Etihad. Siem De Jong with a Brace put Ajax 0-2 up before Yaya pulled one back for Citeh. In the other Group D match, Borussia Dortmund have a shock lead in the Bernabeu. Marco Reus with the goal. As things stand Dortmund lead the group with ten point followed by Real and Ajax with six points each. Citeh have one solitary point.

I don't know if I want Citeh to lose this.. I don't want them to finish dead last! I want them to have to worry about the Europa League!

How long can Arsenal hold on against this Schalke assault. Ibrahim Afellay drives a shot from range, which Vito Mannone is rigth behind and saves.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE UPDATE
Better news for Arsenal sees nearest rivals Olympiakos surrender their lead against Group B's bottom team Montpellier. The French visitors level at 1-1 through Younes Belhanda, who slots a penalty past the Greek side's former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll. Paris Saint-Germain, under the guidance of former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, score a quickfire double against winless Dinamo Zagreb to strengthen their grip on second place in Group A. Blaise Matuidi and Jeremy Menez net in the space of four minutes as PSG lead 3-0.

Balo with a nice header well saved by the keeper

Tyler's commentary very annoyingly behind!

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal have a fine chance to regain the lead as the ball finds its way to Theo Walcott in the left channel and his shot comes back off the far post. Walcott, as it happens, is flagged offside - but that's more like it from the Gunners.

Schalke are the ones on the hunt for a winner in Germany. Jermaine Jones cuts in from the right and fires low at goal but Vito Mannone is behind it all the way to drop down and save.

4:32 PM

If Citeh defeat Real then they would be a point ahead. They are away to Dortmund in the last match and Real are at home to Ajax. It still sounds like advantage Real.

I see Burnley leading 1-0 on the text updates.

4:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Less than a minute of added time for Citeh to get the goal.. it's on the wrong end of the field for Citeh

Ajax makes another change.. just run down the clock but that will add another 30 secs to the end

4:34 PM

Real make it Desmond vs Dortmund. Citeh are all , but out if they don't score a late winner
