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!

Capital One Cup - Third Round Live!

Somehow I've carved out a couple of hours in the office this afternoon to follow the evening's Capital One Third Round fixtures live. We already saw some thrillers yesterday, including a 2-2 extra time and penalties win for Liverpool that involved no less than 30 spot kicks! Let's hope for more of the same this afternoon in match-ups such as Chelski v. Bolton and Spurs v. Forest. I'll be around from 2:45 pm EST onward. I hope you'll join me.

As usual Arsene Wenger wiped his bum with the Capital One this season. Here was the starting line-up for the Arse last night:

Ospina, Bellerin, Chambers, Hayden, Coq Au Vin, Wilshere, Diaby, Sanchez, Rosicky, Campbell, Poldi.

He's a disgrace.

Crikey - Citeh have come out with real purpose in the first ten minutes of the second half and have lashed three goals by poor Not a Big Club. Frankie Lamps is on the scoresheet again as is Dzeko and Navas.

Bob must be delighted that Not a Big Club were hit for Seven at A Big Club on a Wednesday. Citeh were so thirsty that they went seven up.

All seven goals were scored in the second half! Cor! Imagine what the sore would have been if Citeh fielded a full strength lineup.
