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!

Hurrah - it's Boxing Day!

Jingle bells, Wednesday smells, Millwall ran away - oh, what fun it is to see the Whites win on Boxing Day! Oh yes, my old beauties, it's Boxing Day once again. A magical day when we work off all that excess turkey weight by sitting on our arses and watching the footer all day long. We'll be around for the early one between Chelski and the Hammers before packing off and watching the later ones with Dad. Join me for all the hijinks here on the LOB.

Dear Santa - can I have a Diego Costa hat-trick for late Christmas pressie, please?

A minute of applause to mark the Christmas Truce match - very nice touch.

Boxing Day kicks off with a London Derby as it's Chelsea vs the Hammers. First vs Fourth and now they're off.

7:46 AM

I was wondering what that was. I was in the kitchen deciding which of the twelve days of coffee to have

7:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And we're away at the Bridge.

7:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hazard is sandwiched by Kouyate and Downing early doors. He'll pop up like toast in a moment.

7:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hazard is down caught in traffic at Ten Downing Street. That's what he gets for Jay walking.

7:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I hope the Hemmers will be carroling to to a victory today. I hope to see Chelsea hammered.

7:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - bad miss from Oscar. Jenkinson let him slip in the backdoor but he blew it over the top.

7:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!!! The hammers defense fell asleep off a pass from Willian and Oscar missed an early sitter , blasting over. A Brazi combo.

7:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Chelski all over the Hammers early doors with both fullbacks pushing up.

7:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Private is having a hangover from some eggnog he had yesterday?

7:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Will you be watching the rugby match at ER today?

7:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jenkinson definitely hung over as Diego beat him too easily to the ball. It wasn't a virgin eggnog and hopefully it's not gonna costa point for the Hammers.

7:54 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Hammers are laying back and Chelski are taking advantage of it. Noble fouls Oscar - decent free kick opportunity.

7:54 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Why did Mark Noble push Oscar. He wasn't going anywhere?

7:54 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I wish I could, mate.

7:55 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cahill, who has a Christmas beard, arrives at the backpost to nod over.

7:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Carroll headed away the free kick from Fab as Chelski keep possession then a collector's item as JT puts in a nice cross. Headed wide by Cahill.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My Christmas gift from the in-laws was the twelve days of coffee and I went with the Irish Creme. It was down to that and the Italian Roast.

7:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Carroll is yellow carded for an innocuous looking challenge.

7:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Matic has to be the best defensive middie in the Prem this season.

7:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lovely gift idea for you, mate. We're having the traditional bagels and coffee. Traditional pork pies for lunch today.

7:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It wasn't even a foul. The ref is looking like Oliver Twist , but Carroll was not singing for any more.

7:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Definitely, mate. Gooner and I were just talking about that. He's another of these players who just seemed to arrive at the Bridge a perfect fit for the side.

7:59 AM

An early boom boom for you, Basil!

7:59 AM

Lovely. Too bad I'm not there to join you. I hope Harry's lads get stuffed while you're eating pork pie.

8:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers mate. Since yesterday was TBT, I will say that Hazard looked like Frannie Lee diving for a penalty.

8:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Hammers break and win a corner at Ten Downing Street.

8:03 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - a dreadful corner from Downing. That's got to be West Ham's only chance today.

8:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The corner didn't travel far and was headed away by the first man . Then Willian fouls Noble.

8:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick from Valencia wasn't any better.

8:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I wonder if you saw my reference to Frannie Lee, who was naughty vs Leeds in his last season as a player. a bit overweight too or was he always?

8:06 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

West Ham have been wasteful this morning.

Oh - great save by Adrian there from Cahill.

8:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Adrian beats away a shot from Cahill after Carroll cleared away a corner from Fab.

8:06 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Always naughty and a bit tubby, Frannie Lee. But players could get away with that back in the good old days.

8:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Some lower division matches have just kicked off . My eye is on as match down the road as the Bees host the Tractor Boys.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Do you remember why he was naughty? He did something that is more common today than back then that irked one of the well behaved Leeds players.

8:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - that's a crucial one.

8:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I remember Frannie's diving, for sure.

8:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

UWS will be interested in Pompey vs the Real Dons while Cambridge United host Southend not on Sea today.

8:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. It looked like something from the Prem. Do you remember the fight? The power of Youtube in case you wonder how I knew.

8:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A horrible free kick from Oscar

8:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oscar is off the mark from the free kick.

8:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'll look it up.

8:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Collins picks up a yellow card there for tripping up Costa.

8:14 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Fabregas strikes one into Adrian's arms.

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Diego Costa looked like Frannie Lee with that dive . Collins harshly booked with what was a perfectly timed tackle.The Free kick from Fab was easily saved by Adrian.

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great save by Adrian from Willian.

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm surprised you missed it. It was on MOTD as described by John Motson.

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A scramble in the Hammers box and James Collins just clears for a corner then
GOAL !!! JT SCORES OFF THE CORNER.

8:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! John Terry opens the scoring after some scintillating play from the Blues.

8:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Great header from Costa but it was going wide before Terry tipped it in.

1-0 Chelski!

8:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Costa headed down the corner from Fab and JT finioshed easily from close range. He scored off a corner as he did on Monday.

8:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Aaron Cresswell is booked for a naughty challenge on Oscar.

8:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER!!! Evil Cardiff take the lead at Charlton in the opposite end of London.

8:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That was rather naughty.

8:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OUCH!!! The Real Dons are two up at Fratton Park with just over a quarter of an hour played.

8:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Adrian superbly turned around a shot from Matic. Nothing happening from this corner.

8:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Naughty? The foul or the fight ?

8:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Late by Costa on Winston Reid.

8:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

UWS will definitely not be a happy chappy about the score at Fratton Park.

8:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!! Costa had a shot take a wicked deflection off of James Collins for a corner then Costa headed on the corner to JT , who headed right to Adrian.

8:25 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Costa shinned it over there.

8:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Costa blasts over from a pass by Ivanovic as Chelsea pass at will through the Hammers defense.

8:28 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Andy Carroll has spent most of the half complaining.

8:30 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

VAlencia tackles Oscar for a corner.

8:31 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A poor corner is cleared. as we have a minute of stoppage time

8:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now it's handbags from Ivanovic and Carroll.

8:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ivanovic went down really softly there and should be yellow carded.

8:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not a time of good cheer as Ivanovic went down too easily, trying to win a penalty off a challenge from Carroll ,. Hammers players ganged up om him.

8:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's halftime and Chelsea are one up vs the Hammers. It could have been so much more.

8:33 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half-time: Chelski predictably on top at the interval. We can always dream for a Hammers revival in the second half, right mate?

8:33 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WOW!!! Goals down the Road from SB as the Tractor Boys are three up at Brentford in the first half.

8:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sure thing , mate. It only takes a second to score a goal.

8:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Tractor Boys with three in a half hour in a promotion six pointer at Brentford. Daryl Murphy with a brace , including one in the first minute and Paul Anderson with the other

8:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Desmond is choosing to watch a local derby in the Conference as that's the score between Forest Green and Kidderminster on the stroke of halftime.

8:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half is underway at SB.

8:48 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well done, the Tractor Boyz. I'm back for the second half with some scrambled eggs and a refill on the coffee.

8:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A Sweet Sixteen for JT? According to Becky, he made his debut sixteen years ago on Boxing Day. He scored to commemorate the occasion.

8:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Pleat must have had a cold shower this morning - no overly salacious comments from him yet. However, it's still early.

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Courtois makes a rare error as he misses a corner , but gets away with it,.

8:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Must be - happy sweet sixteen, JT. A great servant to Chelski.

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not so far. He may be hung over from some eggnog

8:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. As much as we hate him, he's been remarkably consistent.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fab concedes a corner to the Hammers/

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The corner from Noble was headed away.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My apologies , Bob, but I need to make a correction. Carroll was not whining, but " carroling out of Toon." Matic was conducting the Blues orchestra. Any questions?

8:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Adrian pushes away a rocket from Hazard off a pass and run from Willian.

8:54 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nice one, mate. Nice one.

8:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Koyate trips Hazard and hopefully, it won't be on e for the Hammesr

8:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Reid fouls and sets up another free kick. Adrian won't be pleased at that.

8:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers, mate.

8:57 AM

willian curls the free kick over. It was not far off.

8:58 AM

Willian takes and its wide.

Looks like Alex will be on for a Boxing Day Song in a moment. He'll fit in with the Carrolling theme.

8:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Indeed - don't let any burglars in, mate.

9:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Oliver Twist hears some out of Toon carrolling as it's not music to his ears and did not say" Sir May I Please Have Another."

9:00 AM

Winnie Reid booked for a foul on Twinkletoes Hazard.

9:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Song comes on with the trademark shorts pulled up look.

9:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A double substitution for Fat Sam. Sakho on for Carroll and Song on for Mark Noble. Fat Sam decided he still wants some music

9:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sure thing, mate. The doors have been secured as I've been alone since Tuesday evening and will be until Monday evening.

9:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I wonder if Jose will try to shut up shop with Obi Wan in a moment or two.

9:03 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well done, mate. So, you'll be discovering the joys of shaving.

9:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! BOB WILL BE PLEASED AS COSTA PUTS CHELSEA TWO UP WITH A TRADEMARK FINISH.

9:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Costa rifles one left-footed into the corner. One more goal for my GBB!

2-0!

9:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Courtois did well at Valencia's feet. Almost an immediate response from the Hammers.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

courtois does well to rush out and save at the feet of Valencia , who gathered a through ball and went past Cahill

9:06 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I am rather pleased, yes. I think that's 13 for Costa now, one behind Aguero.

9:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Back to the goal: Koyate looked more like a coyote as he was tackled by Ivanovic. The ball broke to Hazard , who found Costa . He turned a defender then shot in the corner

9:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Costa volleys wide from a cross by Ivanovic.

9:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Oscar tackles Song then is tripped by Song.

9:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Adrian does well to tip over a free kick from Oscar

9:09 AM

Oh - Adrian somehow prevented number three.

The second Chelsea was a hazard that may Costa the Hammers a chance of getting something out of this match

9:11 AM

Just wide by Fab off a one two with Hazard then Costa was offside.

9:15 AM

What was that from Downing!?

9:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER!!
Southend take the lead at Cambridge.

9:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That's it for Downing as he's replaced by Amlfitano on the final roll of the dice for Fat Sam

9:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stevenage have no need to put Dave Beasant on the subs bench as his son, Sam, is instead. That sets up a quiz question that I will ask in the near future.

9:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Barnet were 0-1 up at Aldershot and now lead 1-2 as they aim to remain top of the Conference. Bob will be pleased.

9:19 AM

Great stuff from Hazard there - I'd love a piece of him.

9:20 AM

Are you still a Cambridge Utd fan, mate?

9:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Tractor Boys have take the Sting out of their match just down the road from SB thanks to three goals in the first half hour.

9:21 AM

I'm not really a fan per say, but have a soft spot for Cambridge and like to see them do well.

9:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A tough schedule for the Hammers this holiday period. Trash talking between Gooner and WHR on Sunday?

9:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Just what the Hammers don't need is Drogs coming off the bench.

9:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

This West Ham loss will encourage the likes of Soton and Arsenal to get back into the CL spots over Christmas.

9:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - looks as if Costa will get a rest for the Sunday match.

9:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oscar off as well - Obi Wan on.

9:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A late double substitution from Jose as Costa is swapped out for Drogs and as Bob stated , Obi Wan is on to to replace Oscar and shut up shop.

9:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Definitely a chance. Lots of combinations and permutations during the holiday period.

9:26 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Pleat talking the usual bollocks there - Oscar doesn't have dribbling or passing ability?

9:26 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Valencia wins a free kick off of Ivanovic.

9:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drogs heads away the free kick from Cresswell.

9:28 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And the last change - Ramires for Willian.

9:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A brazi swap of a defensive nature and the final roll of the dice from Jose as Ramires is on for Willian.

9:28 AM

9:29 AM
