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!

A Friday Yorkshire Derby Special!

Happy Friday, everyone! It's a crazy end to Advisement Week here in Freetown, but I'm hoping to carve out a moment or two to watch my boys as they tackle the big Yorkshire Derby with the Evil Blades this afternoon. If you've got a chance to drop by for a cuppa and a chat, please do. Come on, you Whites!

Good afternoon, Bob. MOT!

They're off from ER with both teams in their traditional kits and Leeds attacking from the off.

BUGGER !!!!! BILLY SHARP HAS COME BACK TO HAUNT LEEDS WITH A GOAL AT A MIN UTE AND 52 SECONDS. A CROSS WAS PUT IN THE BOX AND BILLY SHARP HAD A FREE HEADER AT THE FAR POST AS HEADED OFF THE KEEPER'S FOOT .

2:51 PM

Afternoon, MUR! Great to have you on board. I'm not at all pleased that our old friend Billy Sharp has bitten us in the bum.

2:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sounds like we're still in the dressing room. Come on!

2:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Leon Clarke just fails to divert in a pass from Duffy, who played a one two with Billy Sharp.

2:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thanks, Bob. Great to enjoy the pleasure of your company. Sorry to say that your assessment of Leeds is correct. MOT!

2:58 PM

It's great to take the day off. Elizabeth and I went out to lunch, voted and now she is shopping at Ross.

2:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An Evil Blades win takes them to the top of the Championship. That cannot be allowed to happen.

3:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jamaal Blackman , on loan from, Chelsea , catches a cross that was Ayling at best

3:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Naughty by Stephens on Alioski and lectured by the ref for that. Christiansen is lobbying for a booking

3:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Decent cross in from Alioski. Nice to see him back in the starting XI.

3:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sounds like you've had a lovely day.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another free kick chance now.

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cameron Carter - Vickers . The English raised yank , on loan from the Spuds concedes another free kick to Leeds.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

This one is a waste - straight into the keeper's arms.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick from Alioski was a complete and utter waste.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Yes. It has been a great day. It's great to be using up my days.

3:10 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Let's hope that the boys can make it a happy afternoon as well.

3:12 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell - Sharp was nearly in again there for a second. Good save by Lonergan.

3:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Lonergan superbly turns around a close range effort thanks to dilly allying from Matt Pennington.

3:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's a good thing that Lonergan had sharp reflxes.

3:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

He's done well beating Wiedwald out of top spot.

3:18 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Huge crowd inside Elland Road tonight. We need a win!

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A fantastic attendance of 35,00 at ER. Now it's time for Leeds to put in a fantastic performance/.

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Kalvin Phillips draws us level after some lovely build up!

1-1!

3:21 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!!! LEEEDS TIE IT UP WITH A SUPERB VOLLEY FROM LOCAL BORN CAL PHILLIPS.A SUPERB CROSS WAS HEADED DOWN BY LA SOGGY AND A SUPERBLY PLACED VOLLEY BY PHILLIPS TIED IT UP.

3:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm delighted for you and glad that these mugs are being put in their place.

3:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A long range effort from Ronny Viera is well wide as MOT is being sung across the stadium

3:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another foul by Cam Carter- Vickers.

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Fifth goal of the season for Kal - if he keeps doing that, we might be selling him in the New Year.

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

MOT!

3:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cooties with a less than Pre Saiz challenge . Another Leeds free kick

3:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another good free kick chance for us after Saiz is upended.

3:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rubbish free kick from Kal there.

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hopefully there won't be a post holiday clearance sale.

3:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. The free kick was neither Pre Saiz nor did he look that Sharp.

3:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An even worse free kick from the Evil Blades taken by Cooties that appeared to have cooties.

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Pennington called for a trip on Leon Clarke. Then a superb close range save by Lonergan from Sharp.

3:31 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Silly foul by Pennington there sets up a Blades free kick chance.

Bloody hell - we fell asleep at the free kick and Sharp was nearly in for a second again. Great double save by Lonergan!

3:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stevens called for a less than Pre Saiz challenge just outside the Evil Blades box.

3:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A minute of stoppage time.

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The tricky Saiz wins a free kick now down the left and Stevens is yellow carded. Let's make this one count, boys!

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell - that was useless. Well over.

3:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A useless free kick from Alioski lands in the stands.

3:33 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And that's it for the first half. In truth, Billy Sharp might have had a hat-trick and we're a bit fortunate to be level at the break.

1-1.

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's 1-1 at the half where Leeds got off to a slow start , but improved as the match progressed. Billy Sharp could have had a hat-trick on his return to ER , but from some great keeping from Lonergan

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half from Er is underway. MOT!

3:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thomas Christiansen is hoping for a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale ending for LUFC!

3:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An Evil Blades corner is sliced away by Eunan O'Kane for another.

3:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Early tomorrow morning it's a South Yorkshire Derby as Not a Big Club host nearby Barnsley.

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A less than Pre Saiz and evil challenge from Cooties, who is booked for a rugby tackle.

3:55 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A long free kick from Alioski is headed out.

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hey Guys
Just got home and have the link running

COME ON UNITED

3:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Like for like as Pontius Janssen is on for the injured Liam Mini Cooper.

3:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm back after a meeting. Looks like we're almost at the hour mark and Jansson is coming on for Liam Cooper.

3:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good afternoon, UWS. Great to enjoy the pleasure of your company.

4:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hiya, UWS! How has your week been? How does it feel to have a 25 year old son?

4:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - off the post from Saiz!

4:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!!! A nearly Pre Saiz long range rocket cannons off the inside of the post.

4:01 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Alioski tries to match Saiz - doesn't come close.

4:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome back, Bob. Between the three of us we should be able to send enough positive vibes o eek out a victory for Leeds.

4:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

This match is a great way for UWS to start his weekend.

4:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A superb solo and pre Saiz run leads to a Leeds free kick. Showing what he learned at the two Madrid clubs.

4:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BLOODY HELL! An untimely slip from Cal Phillips means that the free kick is a complete waste.

4:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kal Phillips with a reckless challenge. He was doing his best impersonation of an Evil Blade and was booked for that

4:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Just finished answering some emails and making Kathy and I a cuppa

Has Leeds been on top?

Who is "fortunate to be on the pitch"

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Have they said the crowd at ER
Looks packed to me

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Evil Blades win a corner.

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The crowd is 35,000. The Evil Blades have been the better team , and Calvin Phillips is fortunate to be on the pitch for a crunching foul. He will be suspended for the next match as it's his fifth booking of the season.

4:11 PM

Leeds host derby on Halloween
The Real United play Benfica the same night


Great ball at the back post...should have done better

4:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A Pre Saiz cross from Alioski is headed straight Evil; Blades loanee keeper, Jamaal Blackman

4:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hopefully is not a double header of a horror show.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A defensive move from Thomas Christiansen as Pablo Hernandez is on for La Soggy.

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

La Soggy is still on the pitch. Who came off?

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds will win!!

4:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

George Baldock booked for a foul on Vernon Anita. Typical of someone who has played both for the Fake Dons and the Evil Blades.

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

SHOOT!!!

4:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Young David Brooks is on for Billy Sharp, who scored really early on his return to ER.

4:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ronny Viera fouls David Brooks near the Leeds corner flag.

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It's Leeds Time!!

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It sure is. MOT!!!! COME ON YOU WHITES!

4:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

BUGGER!!!

4:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm back after yet another meeting to see another good save by Lonergan who has kept us in this one.

And now bloody hell - Brooks the sub has scored! Curses!

4:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Why on earth was Ayling out of position on that. Shameful defending to let that one get through.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER!!!! YOUNG DAVID BROOKS HAS COME OFF THE BENCH TO GIVE THE EVIL BLADES A 1-2 LEAD OFF A NICE THROUGH BALL FROM DUFFY. GREAT FINISH PAST LONERGAN

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Decent finish....Leeds need a goal and have less than ten minutes to get it!!

4:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome back. Sorry about that goal, mate. There's still plenty of time for a Leeds comeback

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My picture froze but still had sound
Had to refresh... 84th minute

4:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Evil Blades, who won L1 last season will be top of the Championship tonight if they hold on. That cannot be permitted.

4:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have had to refresh about half a dozen times this match. Not the best quality

4:28 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We need a huge effort at the death now.

4:28 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

What's this now - it's all kicking off!

4:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now a fight breaks out./

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

COME ON... IT'S LEEDS TIME!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Tom just landed in Orlando

4:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The final roll of the dice from Chris Wilder as Mark Duffy, who assisted on both Evil Blades goals, is replaced by Lundstram.

4:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Referee still sorting out the incident. No cards.

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wishing Tom a great time at Disney.

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Useless free kick cleared out easily.

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ronny Viera has been booked for Leeds.

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Vicious foul by Viera....that should be a red...no attempt at all to play the ball

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Vieira picks up a silly yellow card there.

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

34,504.... well done Leeds

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Fortunately nothing comes of it.

4:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Leon Clarke heads well wide from the free kick.

4:31 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

On the evidence, Saiz should have been booked and Fleck should have gotten a second yellow. Poor refereeing.

4:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FIVE added minutes

4:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Five minutes of stoppage time, which is Leeds time!

4:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That Fleck decision made the ref look like a flake?

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still doesn't seem much urgency shown by Leeds

They should be getting the ball in the box or on net

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This Sheffield United just came up from League !
Pretty impressive

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!

4:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

If the Evil Blades win the Championship then Chris Wilder will have won L2, L1 ,and the Championship in consecutive seasons. Has any manager ever done that in English football?

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Toothless!!!

4:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wilder won L2 with Northants then went to Bramall Lane.

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

KADOOMPH it forward!!!

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

GET IT OVER!!!!

USELESS!!


Sorry mate
That is it!

4:39 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sheffield United are top of the lot

4:39 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Evil Blades win 1-2 at ER and go top of the Championship. Sorry, Bob.
