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!

Midweek Footie Madness!

Afternoon, chaps - I'm trying to carve out some quiet time in the office this afternoon for some footie watching. We've got a solid slate of Champions League and Championship fixtures on tap. Spurs are currently leading PSV 1-2 in Holland while Liverpool play Red Star Belgrade at Anfield in half an hour. My eye will be on Elland Road where my beloved Leeds will take on our local favorites Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys are in terrible form currently and I hope that we won't give them any mercy tonight. Three points would put us back on top - come on, you Whites! #MOT!

Sadly, there is no coverage of the epic encounter at Elland Road tonight, so I'll be following it on the LUFC website.

Chance! Ezgjan Alioski drives in a low cross and Bialkowski palms it just behind the oncoming Hernandez, who can't get on the end of it.

YESSSSS!!!!!

On his return to the side, Pablo whips in a delicious cross and Kemar nods home. 1-0 Whites!

Oh dear - Berardi has gone down with what looks like a hamstring injury. Stu Dallas is on in his place.

3:14 PM

Into the second half now and we're still 1-0 up. Pablo has gone down injured, sadly. Let's hope he recovers.

The hour mark has arrived so it's time for the two last changes for Bielsa: Adam Forshaw on for Sammy and Tom Pearce on for Harrison.

Leader Boro only drew at home yesterday
Second place Blades only drew at home to Stoke
Third Place WBA three down at home to Derby

That's Liam's third goal of the season. Brilliant to have him as a goalscoring outlet from set pieces.

4:17 PM

Coming down to the last ten minutes now - we're still pressing for a third goal.

I fear for them going down... I don't think they've ever been that low in the pyramid

Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cheers, mate! I've started to use your technique during midweek matches. I don't wear the lucky shirt but I hang it up prominently in the house. And Kate is forced to kiss the badge at kickoff time.

4:38 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I don't think so either.

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

Well done!!
I like the kissing angle
