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!

Wahay! It's Footer Time!

After a very busy first week back on campus, it's a real pleasure to settle in to watch some of the good stuff this morning. It's a tale of the two Manchesters this morning. We start with Citeh, who travel to the south coast to meet Bournemouth. I often forget that Bournemouth are still in the Premier League - how about you? At the end of the day, we've got table-topping United versus enigmatic Leicester City. Join me here on the LOB for all the fun.

Citeh start this one in 5th, just outside the CL slots, while Bournemouth are hovering around the drop zone in 16th.

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

Bournemouth get us underway in Dorset - both teams in their traditional colors thankfully. Jon Champion and that dirty old man David Pleat on the mics today.

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

Bournemouth with an early corner, which is cleared out by Fernandinho.

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

Lovely play from Bournemouth. King loses his man with a slick turn near the halfway line, plays it down the right to Smith and backs up the play. Smith cuts the ball back towards King, whose first-time strike from 15 yards is blocked.

7:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning, Bob. Here to join you for footer time.

7:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Citeh haven't gotten into this one. They're just fouling at this point. Otamendi getting close to a booking now.

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

Morning, MUR - great to have you on board. How are you, mate?

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

This has been a fine start from Bournemouth, who have had more of the ball and look sharp in and out of possession.

7:39 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I saw that nice counter by the Cherries that culminated in an economical pass by Adam Smith that led to a shot from Dafoe that was blocked.

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

We're less than 10 minutes in and Pleat has already used the word "throbbing" in his commentary. He'll never change.

7:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers, Bob. Great to join you . glad to hear about that start from the Cherries. Citeh had the same problem vs the Cherries on Monday

7:41 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. What does he mean by companions.

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

How is Hurricane Harvey affecting you there in Harlingen? Any problems?

7:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Apparently, the "companions" are "throbbing" with "vitality."

7:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! The Cherries have struck first through country bandleader Charlie Daniels!!!!

7:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! POSSIBLE THE GOAL OF THE SEASON. TYRONE MINGS PLAYED A BALL OUT WIDE TO THE LEFTY TO RYAN GOSLING. HIS CROSS WAS HEADED AWAY THEN CHARLIE DANIELS SCORED A SCREAMER FROM A VERY NARROW ANGLE THAT LANDED IN THE UPPER 90.

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

The devil certainly went down to Dorset this morning and Daniels hit a rocket of a shot straight into the upper 90. Ederson had no chance.

7:44 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That goal from Charlie Daniels has made Pep feel like drinking some Jack.

7:45 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mings tackles Jesus for a corner that Otamendi shoots well wide off the corner from De Bruyne.

7:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

LOL, Bob. That's certainly am accurate description.

7:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

We did not suffer any damage from Harvey. Just a little rain and a bit breezy, but that was it. Melanie, up in San Marcos , will see some of Harvey this weekend possibly through Monday. They are expecting flooding in the area . Monday is supposed to be her first day of classes, but that has been postponed until Tuesday. She made the marching band and practice has been cancelled today.

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

First shot on goal by Citeh - a tame effort from Sterling.

7:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ederson Superbly saved a close range volley from Dafoe off a cross from Ryan Gosling then Adam Smith shot the rebound wide against Wealth of Citeh

7:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL JESUS TIES IT UP AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY

7:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! That's what he's there for - Gabby Jesus with an instinctive strike to bring Citeh back into this one.

1-1 Game on!

7:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Citeh strung together their first group of passes and Ake fouled Jesus. Kompnany put through Jesus, who toe poked it home.

7:54 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ake fouls Jesus again and is booked. Citeh players wanted red for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

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

Several PPPers have chosen Jesus as their Golden Boot pick. He's off and running for the season then.

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

David Silva is starting to weave his magic finally and the Cherries have very little response. Off the chest and then a volley just over.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

De Bruyne plays a long cross field ball down the left and Mendy drives the ball across the box as Jesus shoots into the side netting.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great chested pass by Bernardo Silva that resulted in that volley from David Silva that was just over.

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

Glad to hear that you and Elizabeth haven't been affected in Harlingen. I'm wishing the best for Melanie in her new college life.

7:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A Silva lining for Citeh

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

This match has completely turned around. Citeh were still on the coach for the first 15 minutes - now they're completely dominant.

7:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers, mate. She seems to be enjoying it. The real test will come when classes start on Tuesday

7:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mendy is economically tackled for a corner.

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

Bournemouth are under siege. David Silva finds the overlapping Danilo, whose low shot is kicked away by Begovic.

7:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bernardo Silva fouls Dafoe, who attempted a break off the Citeh corner.

8:00 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We started with classes on Monday - good first week back but very, very busy.

8:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

We did too. It was the same here.

8:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bernardo Silva was a touch greedy there, going for goal when he could have played his mate David in there.

8:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Defoe has a nibble on David Silva - close to a booking.

8:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The two Championship matches o Watch ESPN are Richard Burton vs Not a Big Club at 10 and Forest vs Leeds in the late match. Our Uniteds both playing late.

8:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Interesting comments about the MLS - players such as Defoe and David Villa are now being recalled by their international sides after having that experience. Good to hear.

8:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I saw that - I'm hoping that ESPN have a live stream for the Forest v. Leeds.

8:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. MLS must be improving if those players are being recalled. Dafoe has been back in the Prem for several seasons.

8:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Cherries really up against it now.

8:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Don't tell the dirty old man about the live stream . He will become more than curious.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nathan Ake is down and may have twisted his ankle, stretching to make a clearance.

8:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ake is down injured, possibly with twisted blood, and there’s a break in play.

8:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ake is back on. Good to see him recover.

8:12 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ake will struggle on for now but he seems at less than 100%

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

Oh - lovely move results in Begovic clawing a near post strike by Fernandinho away to safety.

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Begovic does well to push away a near post effort from Fernandinho.

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

Two minutes of stoppage time to come and then it's bagel time.

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

NBCSN will be showing the Toon vs the Hammers at 10 AM in a surprisingly early relegation six pointer. I didn't expect that between these two teams.

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Two minutes of stoppage time

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sounds like you're looking forward to that

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Looks like it's going to be sunny today

8:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half time comes and I'm off to make my brekkies. Decent first half. Even steven.

8:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's 1-1 in at the end of a thrilling first half.

8:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half is underway from sunny Dorset

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

Back on at the Vitality for the second half now. Can Bournemouth recapture their momentum from the beginning of this match?

8:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome back. How was the bagel? It will be a long second half for the Cherries.

8:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome to the Prem , Danilo as Steve Cook shows him English cuisine with a crunching, but fair tackle. Travelling Citeh fans chanting cheat. I disagree.

8:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That tackle was cooked to perfection.

8:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Will both teams be able to keep up the pace on a warm afternoon?

8:42 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kompany booked for fouling Josh King on a speedy break.

8:44 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

David Silva also talked himself into the book. A needless booking a there was nothing to complain about.

8:45 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Citeh were alert to the short free kick and De Bruyne led a Citeh break , but the pass into the box was behind two Citeh players.

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

A training pitch free kick routine goes all wrong and nearly allows Citeh to counter with pace.

8:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!! Off the post from Josh King.

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

Oh - off the bedpost there by Andy King. So close to another lead for the Cherries.

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jon Champion mentioned that Eddie Howe played against Citeh here nineteen years ago in a 0-0 draw. That was Citeh's one season stay in the third tier.

8:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It was a great pass from Charlie Daniels and a first time curling left footed shot from Josh King that nearly gave the Cherries the lead.

8:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Do you think that Eddie Howe could eventually make a move to a bigger club? Or England manager?

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think he's happy at Bournemouth . Possibly a bigger club, but not England manager even though he may do decent job if asked.

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

Sergio Aguero is on for the last twenty five minutes. If he were to score, he'd be the highest scoring non-European player in Premier League history.

8:54 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An off the ball push by Kompany on Dafoe. That could have been a second yellow for the Citeh defender.

8:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Otamendi is added to the list of bookings.

8:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick is headed out and Harry Arter has a long range effort deflected for a corner.

8:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That is an interesting stat. It seems as if there's a stat for everything, but shows he
s adapted well to the Prem compared to other players.

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

Bournemouth might be happy with a draw at this point and Citeh might regard this as two points dropped.

8:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Years ago, South American players had difficulty adjusting to Britain. I would imagine that Luis Suarez is probably fairly high on that list as well.

8:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Begovic does well to hold a long range effort from Fernandinho.

8:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Begovic does well to hold on to a close range effort from Aguero.

9:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Like for like as Afobe is on for Dafoe.

9:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That is true. Luis Suarez probably would have the record if he had stayed in the Prem.

9:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jesus has a shot blocked for a Citeh corner.

9:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!!! Otamendi has a header come off the post and into Begovic's arms off the corner from De Bruyne.

9:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Steve Cook booked for a high challenge on Jesus. Probably not the correct recipe.

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

Steve Cook is a rubbish chef, no doubt.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Begovic dives full length to push away a Citeh pass into the box.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gordon Ramsey would not be pleased.

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

City come again in this superb match, enjoying a long spell of possession. The better Bournemouth play, the more you feel the match has late heartbreak written all over it.

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

Mendy picks up a yellow card on his debut.

9:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mendy booked on his Citeh debut for fouling Josh king on another Cherries break.

9:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have been thinking about that. A late Citeh winner looks to be on the cards.

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

Leroy Sane is going to get a late run out here.

9:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Some divine intervention in the form of a rational change as Sane is on for Jesus.

9:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Socrates would approve of that change, for sure.

The free kick from Aguero la curled just wide, lacking a little bit of bend.

9:16 AM

Mendy , economically, wins a corner off of Adam Smith

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

Pep Guardiola and Eddie Howe having a ruck off the pitch. Should I count that as the first one between managers? They didn't actually push and shove each other.

9:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An arguement between Eddie Howe and Pep as Mike Dean is summoned over by Lee Probert . Mike Dean lectures Pep.

9:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I would not count that as it there was very little involved.

9:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Five minutes of stoppage given that will probably be half a dozen due to the stoppage.

9:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A less than Sterling challenge on Afobe results in another card from the Hallmark store.

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

Late, late sub in order to waste time. Match management from Eddie Howe - he's happy with a point.

9:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The sub is subbed as Afobe only lasted ten minutes and is replaced by Mousset on the final roll of the dice for Eddie Howe.

9:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Adam Smith is the ninth player booked this match during the clearance sale at the Hallmark Store.

9:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Charlie Daniels heads out a cross from Sane for a late corner.

9:23 AM

Anywhere will do for the Cherries then Ederson pushes away a long range effort from Josh King on a Cherries break.

Double digits bookings as Mousset is booked.

9:25 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Citeh have broken Cherry hearts right at the death, just as predicted. A bit jammy really, with a wicked deflection over Begovic.

9:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! STERLING SCORES A REALLY LATE WINNER.

9:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Security involved as Citeh fans come on to the pitch celebrating.

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

Citeh fans have spilled onto the pitch in celebration, somewhat spurred on by the Citeh players celebrating.

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

What's going on now?! Raheem Sterling has been sent off for a second yellow for his silly celebration! He wins that honor in the PPP predictions game.

9:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A damper on the late winner as Sterling gets a second booking and is sent off for going into the crowd for celebrating. It seems harsh, but he did create a disruption that resulted in Citeh fans coming on to the pitch

9:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stones on for David Silva.

9:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It finally ends as Citeh win it late 1-2 at Dean Court.

9:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sadly no one picked Sterling for that category.

9:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's the end - crazy stuff really with Mike Dean struggling to keep the peace. Citeh have won it in the end.

9:31 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It was a great late winner from Sterling . Great one touch passing from the short free kick and Sterling scored a chip over Begovic off a pass from Danilo.

9:31 AM

I'm going to skip the relegation dogfight at 10am mate in favor of doing a few errands. But I'll be back for the late double-header.

9:32 AM

Agreed. Sterling wins that category for sure. Definitely a crazy win.

So, the Toon pull out a win in the relegation dogfight. They'll swap places with Bournemouth, which helps me with the PPP.
