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!

More Champions League Matchday 4 Action!

I'm back in the office on Wednesday afternoon, consoling myself after a punishing night of politics, with a bit of Champions League footer. It's Citeh and Chelski up this afternoon. Citeh have under underwhelmed so far, but they have a chance today to put the Moscovites to the sword. Chelski have cruised it and should do well today away to Maribor. Join me from 2:45pm EST onward for all the usual LOB banter.

Blimey - CSKA have scored in the second minute!

That is an absurd goal to concede! Clichy was unlucky to concede a freekick wide on the right; Natcho clipped it in and Doumbia eluded the sleeping Toure to nod into the net from six yards!

GOAL! Yaya with an immediate response, curling in a great free kick.

This match is on fire!

1-1 inside the first ten minutes.

More Keystone Kops defending there from Citeh, especially Moussa with a clearance straight to his opponent.

Bloody hell - Yaya Toure has been sent off now!

Fernandinho already went off earlier so Citeh are down to nine men!

4:27 PM

A quite wretched evening for Citeh comes to an end. They're not rooted to the bottom of the table, with virtually no chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages.
