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!

Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 1 Update!

A very good Monday afternoon, everyone. I'm taking the opportunity of a relative lull in my work schedule today to post the very provisional first week standings of our humble PPP game. Not a lot to report. City are predictably sitting on top, which about half of our pool predicted. Of our picks, Liverpool and United are safely in the European qualifying slots. None of us predicted that Watford, Chelsea or West Ham would be in the drop zone, so no points there. And only Leeds rewarded our love in the Championship playoff race.

Our reigning champion got off to a fast start by correctly predicting that Mo Salah would be the first goalscorer in our pool (of course poor Grant Hanley was the actual first Premier League goalscorer when he put one in his own net against Liverpool - needless to say, no one anticipated that). And our new player Pink Kits and I were the only ones who correctly predicted a free match hat-trick for Raheem Sterling in City's goal riot against the Hammers.

So here are those early doors standings:

1. Red Devil 1FCK - 22 points
-  What's Up Wheaton Simon - 22 pts
3. The Bee's Knees - 21 pts
-  Gooner71 - 21 pts
-  Man Utd Rules - 21 pts
-  Red Dragon - 21 pts
-  The Saint - 21 pts
-  United We Stand - 21 pts
-  Yellows - 21 pts
10. Blue Devil - 13 pts
11. Pink Kits - 9 pts
12. MOT the Hoople - 8 pts
-  Swansong - 8 pts
14. Someone Said - 7 pts
15. West Ham Rising - 3 pts

It should be. A few PPPers have joined me in hoping that Liverpool will secure the title this season and then there is Pink Kits with her intriguing Leicester prediction!
