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 Footie Than We Know What to Do With

We've only just recovered from Boxing Day and here comes another full slate of Premiership goodies, like that seemingly endless supply of leftover green bean casserole in the fridge. It all starts with a bang with United visiting Spurs. Then at 10am, it's the top of the table clash between Chelski and Southampton. Join me for some more festive action this morning, won't you?

A very early morning to you all. I'm starting the day in the basement as Gooner is having a lie in after a late night.

United looked like the United of old on Boxing Day. Can they build on that today?

7:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's even steven in the early going at Shite Fart, neither team able to fashion a good opening.

7:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Pochettino is looking pretty animated on the touchline puffing out his cheeks.

7:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Falcao is down holding his face after having been caught by Vertonghen. Roon is giving the ref an earful about it.

7:20 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

End to end stuff here, with Andros Townsend featuring prominently. He brings a save out of David de Gea with a low drive from distance.

7:22 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A free-kick from Juan Mata is deflected onto the post and causes all manner of chaos on the Spurs goalline. Van Persie is inches away from giving Manchester United the lead.

7:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Young drives up the left wing and his cross is deflected behind for a corner. Rooney takes it and there’s more chaos on the Tottenham goalline. Some United players are appealing that the ball crossed the line but the linesman has an offside flag up.

7:25 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Stromboli gets a yellow card for a foul on Michael Carrick.

7:28 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The cards are really flying now. Andros Townsend gets booked for a really bizarre foul on Ashley Young. The Manchester United wing-back had the ball at his feet near the halfway line and was going nowhere, when the Spurs No17 clattered into the back of him for no reason whatsoever.

7:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Still 0-0 a half-hour into this one. Very tight.

7:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United have it in the goal but it's ruled out. Jones had a header half-saved by Lloris. Then the ball was hooked off the line by Vertonghen. United players appealed it but the offside flag had already gone up on Falcao.

7:33 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

60/40 United possession at this point. The Davids would be pleased...if they were awake!

7:34 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Seconds before he’d had his long-range effort saved by Hugo Lloris earlier, Andros Townsend had sent in an excellent cross for Harry Kane, who was this close to getting a touch on it and diverting it past Twilight. I was attempting to bring you this news when my computer decided to turn itself off, presumably in a fit of anti-Spurs biased.

7:35 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Federico Fazio gifts possession to Falcao in a dangerous position and the Colombian gallops into the penalty area and attempts to curl the ball around Hugo Lloris and inside the far post. His effort is fairly feeble and the goalkeeper saves easily. Interestingly, Robin van Persie was on hand to pick up a pass, should Falcao have chosen to pick him out.

7:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not a great free kick from Eriksen. He's usually more accurate with those. Cleared out.

7:38 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Crunching tackle by Mason on Falcao there leaves the striker in a heap.

7:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Vertonghen and Van Persie have a bit of needle going this afternoon and clash shoulder- to shoulder over by the sideline, in line with the Spurs penalty area. Much to RVP's displeasure, Vertonghen is awarded a free-kick.

7:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

First time Yashley is found clear on the left but his cross is cleared out.

7:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Into the last five minutes of the first half. Some good stuff from both sides but no killer punch yet.

7:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Davies drifts by a static Mata but his shot was a wee bit ambitious.

7:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

RVP darts behind the Tottenham defence to latch on to a ball over the top from distance. Lloris remains rooted to his line and about six yards out, Van Persie’s first touch is a good one. Sadly, gravity gets the better of him and the ball doesn’t drop in time for him to poke it past Lloris. He ends up having to take a second touch before he can fire off a shot, allowing the goalkeeper to push the ball clear.

7:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

More good work from Ashley Young, who canters down the left flank with the ball at his feet, before sending in a cross. Wayne Rooney leaps and sends a powerful header goalwards, but Lloris dives to his left to smother the ball and save.

7:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another big chance - Lloris saves from Rooney again! Wonderful stuff from United and from the Spurs keeper.

7:46 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Into stoppage time now in the first half.

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

From a United corner, Spurs break and charge down the other end of the pitch, courtesy of Christian Eriksen. Juan Mata is forced to do a spot of last-ditch defending.

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

Peep peep! That's half-time. Fair to say that Spurs will be the more relieved with that goalless scoreline as the players trot off.

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

I dozed off during half time so we're an hour in now. Still goalless.

8:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Vertonghen is shoved by RVP, who is lucky to escape a yellow card, which would have ruled him out of Manchester United’s next game. After today’s round of Premier League games, there’s a yellow card amnesty for all those players currently walking the four-card tightrope.

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

Davies blocks Falcao's progress but avoids a yellow card for the obstruction. Referee very lenient today.

8:20 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looks as if Rafa replaced Valencia while I was snoozing.

8:21 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The commentators are saying that Spurs have played a lot better in this second half than they did in the first, but have created little in the way of scoring opportunities. Stromboli, who is on a yellow card already, fouls Phil Jones and concedes a free-kick.

8:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ian Darke says that "it's getting a bit attritional out there," whatever that means. I think it's another way of saying it's got scrappy now.

8:23 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

65 minutes in - we could definitely do with a goal about now.

8:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Townsend pounces on a breaking ball about 30 yards out, drives forward and unleashes a rasping, dipping shot. Twilight is forced into action and saves well, diving low to his left.

8:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Mata sends the ball into outer space from about six yards out after getting on the end of a pulled back cross from Falcao. He really lashed at that one, when a bit more nuance or finesse might have served him better.

8:26 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not for the first time in this match, Evans slices an attempted clearance into Row Z, earning himself a big cheer from the Spurs fans.

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

Twenty minutes left - surely time for some changes from both sides.

8:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

McNair is booked for a clumsy challenge on Harry Kane.

8:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And here's that change I suspected was coming but it's hardly inspiring. Smalling on for Evans. Is LVH satisfied with a goalless draw at Shite Fart?

8:30 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Great save by Twilight!

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

Yashley and Andros Townsend tussle as the latter attempts to sprint clear of his marker to chase a through-ball. Townsend goes to ground and it looks like Young, who is on a yellow card, might get sent off. Referee Jon Moss is having none of it, much to Townsend’s disgust. Was it a foul? I thought so, but I’d need to see a replay to be sure.

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

David de Gea charges out of his penalty area to hoof clear a through ball that Harry Kane was attempting to chase down. 15 minutes and stoppage to play.

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

Manchester United substitution: Paddy McNair off, Luke Shaw on. Are United switching to a back four?

8:34 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Eriksen’s dipping effort is decent and on target, but David de Gea leaps to his right to punch clear for a throw-in.

8:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Double substitution by Spurs - Lamela and Dembele on for Chadli and Townsend. At least that's a bit more adventurous from Pochettino.

8:38 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yashley plays the ball up the left channel for Roon to chase. He’s crowded off the ball and Spurs embark on the counter-attack.

8:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Inside the last ten minutes now. Something's got to give.

8:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Great chance for Spurs - Kane was able to hold up a ball for Mason to fun on to but he fired over the bar.

8:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Falcao is booked for a clip on Lamela. He should have been subbed ages ago.

8:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now it's Rafa into the book for a foul on Eriksen. These are building up.

8:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Spurs definitely finishing the stronger of the two sides.

8:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United's changes haven't really inspired much ambition. They're clearly playing for a draw.

8:46 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United remain on the back foot as Spurs continue to press for a late winner. Shaw is forced to stick a foot in and hack clear off the toe of Chiriches. Throw-in for Spurs, deep in United territory.

8:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Three minutes of stoppage time has started.

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

Carrick attempts to dink the ball over the Spurs defence in the general direction of Robin van Persie, but the Dutchman concedes a free-kick.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning mate. I have not abandoned you. I recorded the match, deciding that a wee kip was better than getting up at an unreasonable hour during a vacation.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will be around the remainder of the morning.

8:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Time for maybe one more chance.

8:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, mate - that's a thoroughly understandable position. Great to have you around.

8:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeep! It’s all over. After a good first half, the second half was comparatively turgid, with both sets of players looking understandably weary, constantly giving the ball away.

8:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That leaves United in third and Spurs in sixth ahead of the other matches today.

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

Next up is Soton v. Chelski. I'm going to head upstairs for that one.

8:54 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I see that I did not even miss a goal and some extra kip on the most miserable morning of the year. Can't beat that

8:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Brummies have won 1-3 at Forest in a Midlands Derby,.

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

You definitely made the right decision, mate. I'm hoping for much better from the next one.

The team news:

Soton - Forster, Alderweireld, Fonte, Yoshida, Targett, Davis, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Tadic, Pelle, Mane.

Chelski - Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Luis, Obi Wan, Matic, Schurrle, Fabregas, Hazard, Costa.

9:02 AM

I count three defensive middies for the Blues. Looks fairly clear what Jose is preparing.

9:03 AM

Saints about to get us started at St. Marys.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just made some Italian Roast Coffee. I hope that's a sign that Graziano Pelle will get a few goals. They're off from St. Mary's

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ta, Bob. Tadic high and wide with an early effort.

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

Tadic latches on to a wayward one but his shot is always rising.

9:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Italian Roast may be symbolic that fans want to roast Cellino so that he is toast.

9:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'd have a brace from my GBB Diego Costa today. That would have him one clear of Aguero the super crock.

It's coming home, it's coming home. It's coming - the LOB Shield is coming home!

9:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Le Saux would be perfect for this match since he played for both clubs.

9:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A number of the players seem to be employing the jazz hands strategy on a cold day today.

9:08 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's true - not sure who this color bloke is, are you?

9:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm hoping Citeh overtake Chelsea because I may actually have a chance then. Simon came out of the middle of nowhere last season.

9:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looking at this Soton side on paper, I have no earthly idea how they're in fourth.

Arsenal will hope that Soton will lose this one and that they'll hammer the Hammers. That would have them back into fourth.

9:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It looks cold here for the first time this vacation. Similar to when you and the Gooner visited, but rain instead of drizzle and even a little thunder. No wonder why I slept so well.

9:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

True - no one had Citeh winning last season, so Simon cleared up with all those correct cup picks.

9:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I would imagine so - are Fred and Sparky keeping you company?

9:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Trash talking between the Gooner and Johnno?

9:12 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm constantly amazed at hoe good the Premiership pitches look at this point of the season. It's like a green carpet.

9:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Costa wins a corner. Fabregas with the corner in, and the keeper tipped it away. Schurrle wins another corner.

9:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They are. Sparky was in the closet because someone was setting off fireworks. That stopped around 8 when it started raining , which I think it's done ever since.

9:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think the Saints season is a credit to Fat Ron. He's done brilliantly despite LVG labelling him a "weak coach."

9:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Me too. I remember the mud baths in the good old days.

9:15 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

JT isn't pleased with Pelle's elbow in his face.

9:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Did you see that the rail system in London is worse than the DC metro? Simon had a really horrible time. I'm sure he's glad to be watching his Gunners against Johnno's team.

9:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

As if JT has been such an angel during his career.

9:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Will Giroud be watching from his vacation chateau in the French Riviera? Simon and Eric implied that on FB. Those rascals.

9:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Fonte very close to tapping in Wanyama's nod back.

9:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A corner for the Saints.OH! the corner was headed on then Mane headed on and JT cleared for another corner

9:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Costa headed out the next corner from Steven Davis.

9:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

He might well do; Gooner has joined me now for the proceedings.

9:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nice sliding cut out by Cahill or Wanyama was in on goal.

9:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WAY HAY! MANE PUTS THE SAINTS IN THE LEAD

9:21 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Mane runs on to a lovely through ball from Tadic and pops it over Courtois.

1-0 Saints!

9:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nineteen year old left back,MAtt Targett lived up to his name as he found Pelle , who headed down to Tadic and his through ball found Mane, who beat JT for pace then delightfully chipped Courtois.

9:24 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I thin you and the Gooner will be delighted that JT looked like a real mug on that goal

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

Scheiderlin tries a pop from distance and it's well over.

9:24 AM

I guess my plan worked out perfectly . I timed it perfectly for seeing a goal unless you include Forest vs Brum on BEIN.

Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning to the Gooner. I was going to say, but I was interrupted by a goal.

9:26 AM

A corner by Fab is anything but as it's cleared by the first man.

I see that Leeds are not in action today. I think they are at Derby County on Tuesday. I don't think it's BEIN televised.

9:29 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fab went past two players then his cross was deflected just ahead of Schurrle Temple , who was in a great position to score.

9:30 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - we are at Derby on Tuesday. I don't fancy it. We're in 20th now, four points above the dropzone. Definitely panic stations.

9:31 AM

The color guy sounds like Brian Marwood or Chris Waddle.

9:31 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A dodgy link will be necessary. That fixture was the venue for a famous fight in the mid 70s at the old Baseball Ground. I'm not sure if you remeber it.

9:33 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An all Serbian clash as Tadic is called for a foul on Ivanovic just outside the box.

9:33 AM

The free kick from Fab is headed away. Matic gets past Pelle and has a cross cleared.

Lovely short passing there from Chelski but Soton held their ground.

9:35 AM

Matic is booked for a foul on Mane , to the delight of the home fans.

9:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hazard fouls Mane near the corner flag. There didn't seem much in that

9:36 AM

A woeful free kick from Tadic, who has been doing much better than that this season.

9:37 AM

Is Kevin Keegan the color guy?

9:38 AM

No memories of that fight at the Baseball Ground . It was Derby vs Leeds in the mid 70s. Do you ant any clues? I saw it on youtube as described by John Motson on MOTD.

9:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I don't think so - he sounds younger than King Kev.

9:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Toby Alderweireld has been excellent in the Saints defense this half. I guess they're in fourth due to some astute signings by Fat Ronnie.

9:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

TYpically by Obi wan. This time on Mane , who is being a thorn in Jose's side.

Jose is not happy at all.

Do the Gooner and Johnno have any pre-match wagers or trash talking ahead of the match at Upton Park. That seems like the pick of the matches today
