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 Busy Day in English Footer

It's another busy, busy day in English footer. Just as the weather seems to be turning toward spring here in WNY, we're turning the corner into the final lap of the season with ten matches left in the Premiership and nine left in the Championship. We start early, as usual, with another police-assisted kick-off between Leeds and neighbors Huddersfield at 8:30 EST. Everton and Citeh kick off a few minutes later on ESPN2. Then we have the usual 3pm GMT kick-offs (at 11am EST) including another match-up between ideological bedfellows Swansea and Arsenal. Finally, United have a bit of shooting practice against hapless and managerless Reading in the late one at 1:30pm EST. Join me for a busy day.

It's the return of Simon Grayson to Elland Road. Here is the team news:

Leeds: Kenny, Byram, Peltier, Lees, Warnock, Green, Tonge, Austin, Varney, Diouf, Habibou. Subs: Ashdown, Pearce, White, Brown, Norris, Dawson.

Huddersfield: Smithies; Dixon, Gerrard, P. Clarke (c), Hunt; Gobern, Norwood, Ward, Clayton, Danns; Vaughan. Subs: Bennett, Woods, Scannell, Novak, Wallace, Robinson, Beckford.

No room for JB in the starting line-up - poetic justice?

There's a link for the other police-assisted early morning kickoff in London between Charlton and Millwall, but no love for Yorkshire. I'm dialing up a link for SS instead.

Everton v Man City (1245 GMT)
Everton drop captain Phil Neville and striker Nikica Jelavic to the bench following last Saturday's home humiliation against Wigan in the FA Cup so Darron Gibson and Victor Anichebe start. Goalkeeper Tim Howard is out with a back injury - Jan Mucha continues to deputise.

Manchester City will be missing key man Yaya Toure, who is suffering with a migraine. Samir Nasri is left on the bench, so James Milner and Javi Garcia come into the midfield. England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was rested for the 5-0 FA Cup win over Barnsley, returns and the fourth change sees Matija Nastasic come in to the defence.

8:16 AM

Glad to see Yaya not playing

To ad to Someone's statement, Lescott is not playing either. I was surprised McDermott was sacked. I read that Reading players and fans do not want Paolo to be their next gaffer!

8:45 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I haven't heard anybody mention what MUR mentioned last week after the FA Cup draw

Sixth will not make Europe

The loser of the Cup Final will get it

I am not sure if I agree with that rule. When it used to be their individual competition of Cup Winners Cup, the runners up should go but since it is the same competition, the league teams should go

Did the Championship matches kick off at the bottom of the hour?

8:49 AM

It actually wasn't too hot. There was a nice breeze blowing that made it feel comfortable. That would explain why I didn't notice the sunburn until we got home.

That's when the league spot gets it


8:49 AM

Very much Leeds with the upper hand

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They did,UWS. Also, I think that means the two Liverpool clubs are out of the running for the EL. It's between the three London clubs.

8:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's what I like to hear - yes, the two Champ matches kicked off at 12:30 GMT.

8:50 AM

Correct, UWS. Then 6th and in some cases 7th place would go to the EL

LUFC Academy fouls Baines between the corner flag and the box.The free kick from Baines is headed out by Kolo for a corner that is cleared away

So the Europa League slots will go to:

* 5th place in Prem
* League Cup winner - Swansea
* FA Cup winner (unless in CL)
* FA Cup loser (unless in CL)

Is that right?

Hair Bear with a naughty foul on Milner. He's doing what he didn't do last week and that's getting stuck in there!

Everton get another chance at a free kick. Baines for sure.

Horrible free kick from Gibson into the wall, but Coleman wins a corner off of Zsaba.

In that case, I think the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool can breathe easy - I expect a United v. Chelski final.

Mirallas has the ball in the net but it's ruled offside. On the replay, he looks on to me.

Does the replay at SB start at the same time that Leeds kicked off the first half this morning? IF so and it is televised then I will be able to watch the first half before I go to work.

Lots of fouling but no scoring at Elland Road. Come on, you Whites!

No goals in the Championship matches. I guess it's to be expected as they are hotly contested derbies.

The same at Goodison as at ER and probably true at the Valley too!

Pienaar has gone in the book and it is into the wall by Kolorov.

9:13 AM

Austin, Varney and Habibou have all been booked within the first half hour of the Yorkshire Derby. I think Rudy Austin gets a yellow just for getting out of bed in the morning.

That was naughty by Barry. No action? I think he knew what he was doing.

Nastasic nearly got a leg on after a corner. Close. Going to be a stressful second half for me.

Hart cleared for dear life then Javi Garcia heads out for a corner that is wasted due to a stupid foul by Anichebe on Hart

Yes, it's the last match before the split. The SPL likes to confound me with their silly ways.
