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!

I'll be in and out depending on what my business calls entail.
I am here and there
Pompey has a must win at home to Bristol Rovers
Are we in the Liverpool corner?
In years gone by, it was English teams all the way but not always today
I guess I want to see Bayern get knocked out
Last time these teams met were in the UEFA Cup in 2001
I can't stomach the TNT studio guys.... especially the footwear!!
Steve Nash.... are we watching the NBA Finals? Is Canada good at football or basketball?

Van Dijk is suspended for today's match...wish he was hurt...for Saturday too
Good afternoon, UWS. Here to join you before I return to work tomorrow. Agreed about the talking heads in the studio.
Will probably be rooting for Liverpool today because they're an English club, but definitely not on Sunday
The is a Final Score link on the Red Button Channel if it will tune in!!
Good afternoon, Gooner.
Here the teams coming out of the tunnel... miss the small one
YNWA already being played and TNT talking thru it
SHUT UP!!
This is a repeat of the 1981 European Cup Semifinal where Liverpool went through on the away goals rule.
Agreed. They finally did shut it.
YNWA is brilliant
Finally they shut up to listen to it
Bob will not be pleased that the Baggies have taken the lead at Loftus Road.
COME ON LYON!!
In L1 Rochdale have taken the lead vs the Real Dons while the Black Cats lead the Gils 2-1.
We are off
Nope... delayed for some reason...finally off
Newport County just took a 1-2 lead at rock bottom Notts County
They're off from Anfield.
What did you think of that picture I sent of the Goodison Park Cat?
Morecambe and Wise in the lead at Oldham . A test for Scholes.
All this passing around at the back by Bayern....I just hate it
Speaking of Black Cats...they're 2-1 at home to Gillingham
Newport take a 2-1 lead at Notts
The one in the picture didn't look too pleased to be photographed and seemed less chubby. Was across the street from our house. Must be exhausted from such a long journey
BUGGER! Cheltenham take the lead vs Cambridge
I completely agree with the TNT lineup. They are all stiffs. Stu Holden bless his red-white-and-blue heart is so bad on camera. Steve Nash has fewer bonifides than anyone on our blog to get the job he has. And they go back to the big studio and it's a semi-awake Edgar Davids, Maurice Edu, Timmy Howard and Carlos Bocanegra mumbling truisms and agreeing with each other. TNT has horrible coverage. They're setting the game back one broadcast at a time.
I really hate how teams play... so much passing for no reason whatsoever other than to keep the ball
Well said Steve
First chance... Sala just couldn't get a decent shot
Now Bayern have a shot... don't know how that was saved.... it hit him
OH!! Nice long ball from Hendo , but the outstretched Salah didn't make enough contact to trouble Neuer
Great save by Alison from ex Gunner, Gnabry then several blocked shots off a spell of Bayern pressure.
That was a hell of a volley against his keeper's chest there by the Liverpool defender
Mane had a man on the outside... Mane shoots... hit the target
I second that. Spot on , Steve.
Coman through and has a shot land in the side netting for Bayern
So bad from the Liverpool keeper... what is the modern day footballer thinking!
DON'T take chances in your defensive end... STUNNING
Sunderland winning
Portsmouth drawing
Pompey dropped to FOURTH!
At least there is a big gap to the playoff cut off
Newport now lead 1-3 at Notts County
More uselessness by a keeper
Just kick it out
Fred and the relocated Goodison cat say that the Black Cats are up to third.
QPR tie it up vs the Baggies
Atrocious Liverpool back header, then Gunners reject, Gnabry, runs the ball out of play.
Bob will be pleased.
Sule pushes Mane midway between the Bayern box and corner flag. Gifts Liverpool a free kick.
Free kick doesn't beat the first man... eventually ball gets to Salah at the back post...headed wide
The free kick is headed out then back to TAA and his cross is volleyed wide at the far post by Salah
Still can't get my Final Score link. working... very annoying
Bristol Rovers take the lead at Fratton Park. Sorry, UWS
Accrington Stanley takes the lead vs Oxford.
Pompey are now losing at home!
Gils score to make it Desomond at the SOL.
Kimmich is booked for a foul on Mane and is suspended for the second leg.
It is 2-2 at Sunderland!
Finally Final Score is working
It is actually BBC radio commentary of the match at Anfield with the the scores and updates on the screen
The commentary is a bit behind the telly
Glad it's back up and working
The Real Dons tie it up at Rochdale.
Rochdale immediately back in the lead. Now 2-1 vs the Real Dons
A chance blown by Liverpool... terrible cross
Big chance for Liverpool
Had at least two chances to score... first one blocked..second one shanked
He was offside
YIKES! Mane misses a real sitter. A shot from Fabinho deflected to Mane and shot wide of a wide open goal.Should have given Liverpool the lead.
Radio is saying... is it a penalty
Dion Dublin says it went off a hand but then changes his mind
Play stopped as Kimmich is down injured and may not be able to continue.
Alaba wins a Bayern corner.
I would need to see a replay. Not sure about the penalty decision.
alison pushes around a shot from Gnabry. Looks like it may have been heading wide.
Second poor corner from James.
Mane tries an overhead.
Keita with a deflected shot that makes it tot eh offside Mane , who is wide with a bicycle kick. Great pressing by Bobby F
TAA tackles Coman for a Bayern corner.
Liverpool break off the Bayern corner.
Kimmich tackles Mane for a Pool corner as he took too long to shoot.
Liverpool almost in.. Nice play.. knocked wide
Bobby F goes on a run down the left and it's just wide by Matip.
Mane has not been on the Mane James has been more like Calamity James with the Bayern corners.
Matip clears a cross from Gnabry for a Bayern corner. Started with bizarre pass from Neuer.
Ignoring Puns
Corner from James headed out
LOL! You were always on the Mane when playing for LHS, especially in the Championship game.
Neuer has been Liverpool's most dangerous
Decent move by Pool... chipped to the back post but no one there
A stoppage time minute
Cheers
4 goals an assist wasn't that bad
Bobby F couldn't make the proper contact off a cross from TAA and gathered by Neuer as it's 0-0 at the half.
Lyon vs Barca also 0-0
Half time 0-0
All three matches so far by the English sides in the CL have been nil nil at half time
Spurs 0 Dort 0... Spurs win 3-0
United 0 PSG 0.... PGS win 2-0
Liverpool 0 Bayern 0.... ?
PLAY UP POMPEY

BUGGER! Cheltenham two up vs Cambridge
Newport negating their loss to the top club in the top four divisions at the bottom club in the Football League

Amateur Hour
Definitely expecting goals in both CL matches.
Tranmere two up at Port Vale
POMPEY TIE IT UP!!
Pompey ties it up vs Bristol Rovers. Congrats, UWS

Pompey need a win after their 3-3er after being 3 up
West Brom retake the lead
Tranny dressed for success at Vale.
Bob will not be pleased.
2001 Super Cup not UEFA Cup
Nice tackle by Fabinho on Lewandowski. Never a penalty
That was after Liverpool had won the UEFA Cup and Bayern winning the CL two years after losing the epic United Final
Sunderland back in front
COME ON POMPEY
Nice Liverpool break. Tackle from Sule off of Robertson and across the goal. Then miss controlled out by Salah.
Fred will be pleased.
Hendo booked for accidentally stepping on Javi Martinez's heel. A soft booking.
Why are the fans clapping
Fans of Liverpool clapping the Bayern fans for putting up signs saying that Bayern are charging Liverpool too much in the away leg
Wrexham , one of Salford's challengers, two up at Boreham Wood.
Is it sarcastic applause from the Scouse fans?
Second place Barnsley still scoreless at home to Burton
Just wide by Bayern
Gnabry just over with a long range effort for Bayern
Could use a Barnsley defeat
No, it was clapping the Bayern fans
they put up signs saying that 20 is plenty for the tickets for Liverpool fans in the second leg but they are being charged more
Subs warming up on the hour mark
Accrington Stanley 3-1 up at home to Oxford
Thanks for the clarification. Poor from Bayern
Nice solo run by TAA after tackling Coman, but lost possession in the Bayern box.,
Three First Names should have shot
Hendo down off a collision with Thiago.
Desmond at Loftus Road

5Live says the atmosphere is not spine tingling but just aprehensive
Sunderland now 4-2
Scholsey's lads making Morecambe look none too wise.
Geez
European nights at Anfield are usually much noisier.
Fred will be pleased, but not UWS
0-0 at home is not a great result
0-0 is not a great away result
One away goal and you're toast
I remember United playing in Madrid and should have won in 00 but drew 0-0...lost the home leg...we were toast as soon as they scored
AFC Fylde lead Havant and Waterlooville 5-1. Definitely Waterloo for the visitors in a match Fylde with goals.
I think that Was SAF's last season in charge of United when Jose was in charge of Real. Nani unfairly sent off at OT
17,880 people inside Fratton Park on a Tuesday night in February.... get them a win Pompey!
Desmond at A Scots Cup Replay. A Highland Derby as Nessie host Ross County. In the 84th minute
That's great Pompey support, considering the circumstances.
No... that was in 00 after United had won it in 99
Real weren't that good and it was 0-0 in Madrid
They won 3-2 at Old Trafford.
They went on to win the whole thing
Fred says that 28,364 are in attendance at the SOL. Two L1 clubs with Prem level attendance on a Tuesday night
I remember that one. They caught us a couple times on the break.
Still 0-0 in both CL matches, but beats having to stay for Open House.
Jurgen Klopp ready to make a double substitution. Origi and Milner getting ready to come on.
That's why you're home?
Whole week off can't go too quickly for me...please
Milner for Keita and Origi or Bobby F
Morecombe retake the lead in front of Scholsey
I have Spring Break the week of March 11th and today is a great way to use up one of my days. I gave myself a five day weekend by going so.

Nice... they have changed the rule in my district and you can accumulate days in your last year so I am saving as much as I can
Oxford United pull it back to 3-2 at Accrington Stanley while just down the road, the Real Dons take a 2-3 lead at Rochdale.
Thank you. Well done. I think you told me you will get paid for those. A shame our district doesn't do that.
Robertson with a shot blocked for a corner off a pass from Mane.
Flyde has just won the first set 6-2
West Brom score a very late winner
A French swap as old man Ribery is no for Coman
Sunderland win 4-2

They win
Accrington Stanley defeat oxford 4-2 while it's now 3-3 between Rochdale and the Real Dons
Bugger Pompey only draw
BUGGER! Bob will not be pleased. Sorry about Scholes. His first loss as Oldham boss?
Nice tennis analogy even though the visitors met their Waterloo.
NO IT IS NOT!!
Playing out from the back is NOT the right way to play!
Nice diving header at the front post by Mane.... saved... that was going in
Corner
Neuer turns around a header from Mane that was creeping inside the near post.
The Top Four in the Championship separated by 3 points!
If Leeds win their game in hand, it would be four

Very tight at the top of the Championship. Leeds vs Bolton on Saturday is on Plus. A must win for Leeds.
Renato Snaches on for James.
After today , I will next be around on Saturday
Free kick from TAA too high for anyone to connect
Still 0-0 in both CL matches.
Probably Sunday for me
A barber shop quartet of stoppage time minutes
Tedios substitutions
Rafinha on for Gnabry to waste time.
You picked the right day to be around. Sorry you won't be around Saturday
Wimbledon take a 4-3 lead in the 95th minute at Rochdale... a penalty
Hope Liverpool are this toothless going forward on Sunday morning
I might be but it is Laura's last full day here. I take her to the airport late Sunday afternoon
What a match at Rochdale!
Thought it finished earlier but it is over at Loftus Road
I second that . Hope the same for Liverpool on Sunday
Hope she's enjoyed her stay in the U.S. Wishing her a safe trip back
It finishes 0-0 at Anfield. Same between Lyon and Bara. YAWN!
Bayern have no intention of scoring.. they go backwards and it is over NIL NIL
BOTH NIL NIL
Have a good rest of the week
Thanks . Same to you. Great chatting. Enjoy the rest of your break.
