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!

Champions League Wrap-Up

Greetings from Little Rock, Arkansas, where I'm enjoying the History of Education Society conference this week. My apologies for being so negligent about the blog updates this week. I didn't get a chance to watch much footie this week, due to my travels (and the less said about Leeds' third consecutive home loss the better), but I thought I'd chip in here about the Champions League matches.

The big story out of the CL was Spurs' shocking win against current holders, Real Madrid. Tottenham's home form has been sputtering at Wembley but this result confirms that they're a force to be reckoned with in Europe. Not far behind that was Citeh's thrilling 2-4 away win at Napoli, one of the most in-form teams in Europe. Added to that was United's professional 2-0 win at home to Benfica and Liverpool's 3-0 demolition of Maribor at Anfield. The only blot on that record was Chelsea's 3-0 collapse in Rome. But what do you know - the Premiership is back! Does this mean that British clubs have improved?

Your thoughts on the action, chaps?
