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!

True - but you must be salivating about the prospect of our old buddy Skippy returning to Old Trafford. What a fixture!

Well, if our Uzbek 30%er doesn't buy us Falcao and Yaya Toure in the WTS, I don't fancy us getting by Franc-enstein and co. We'll have to concentrate on Le Boss's favorite trophy: 4th place.

For his service to the Premier League, don't you think the CL qualifying 4th place position should be re-named the Wenger Cup? Sign my petition.

I am signing your petition, Gooner. I agree with UWS that we may not have any EPL sides in the quarters or any Britih sides for that matter. Skippy returns to OT, but so does Jose.He will reunite his feud with SAF. I expect United vs Real to be close, but expect Arsenal and Celtic to exit.The best hope for EPL clubs seems to be the Europa League.I expect all four clubs to advance in a very weak competition.
