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!

Could This Be the Day?

I'm just home from from work and delighted to see that the Terriers are 1-0 up the WBA. I'm settling in to see if my beloved Leeds will get promoted today. Here are the implications. The Baggies need a win today in order to have any chance of catching us. A draw or a loss and we're promoted.

Join me as I have kittens over this one.

Bugger! The Baggies have leveled it on a play that had more than a whiff of offside to it. Where's VAR when we need it?

Back on for the second half. Bilic has replaced Matty Phillips an dJake Livermore with Krovinovic and Grosicki at the interval.

Oh - Pereira came close to putting the Baggies ahead there. This could go either way now.

Charlie Austin comes on to replace Robson-Kanu - I really fear him.

Perreira fires well over and we're now a mere twenty minutes from promotion.

West Brom are heading for a third successive draw, while Brentford have won seven on the bounce since the restart.

Callum Robinson replaces Diangana, who has flitted in and out of the game.

West Brom seem to be losing their rag a little, and understandably so. Bilic is urging calm on the touchline but it’s easier said than done. They have had little to shout about. At least Brentford and Leeds will be enjoying this.

Krovinovic picks up a yellow card - lovely!

Watching the West Ham v. Watford match now - a real relegation dogfight.

West Ham have somehow contrived to score two goals in the first ten minutes!

Antonio with the first through Ben Foster's legs and the second a powerful header by Soucek off a nice cross from Jarred Bowen

Hammers on 37 points and all but safe. Hornets three points clear of Villa and a Barber Shop Quartet ahead of the Cherries

Flappy sure did make a decent near post save

3-0 West Ham!

Watford have got one goal back. Game on?

Nope - it's a vital win for the Happy Hammers. They're now virtually safe, on 37 points with two matches to play.

Watford are really in amongst it now, on 34 points, with Bournemouth and Villa breathing down their necks.
