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!

Teams out on the field now. The side that picks itself, maybe minus either Foden and Mount is what Gareth went with.
Hi Steve
Hungary get us going
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
Dave, which Southampton?
Scotland started a couple minutes ago
England's line up
Pickers
Shaw, Mings, Stones, Walker
Rice, Mount, Foden
Grealish, Kane and Sterling
UK
Struth...Scotland started well but almost conceded!!
I hadn't heard. You having a great time?
I just wish teams would start on the front foot...so many want to just pass around forever
I'm not there!!
I wish I was!!!
The rest of their tour...
Southampton tonight
then
Nottingham, Birmingham, Stoke, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, Cambridge(Corn Exchange), York, Manchester, Cardiff, Royal Albert Hall, Bath, Ipswich, Sheffield and Blackpool
Is that JHJ?
Come on England TOO slow!!
They are touring with Level 42
Kane didn't bury that????? What is up with that bloke?
And again? What was that?
Just sent a vid of L42
I remember those guys. Nice to hear that they're still around.
Kane bringing his Spurs for to England!!
Thanks. I'll peek at it during the half.
This is not the start I was hoping for. I didn't like the Magyars this summer, but they threw their weight around well.
Still scoreless in the Faroe Islands
Does their keeper still wear a bobble hat? I liked that and found it as comic as Southall's trackies.
Of course, England lost to Hungary at Wembley 3-6 in Nov 1953. Hungary followed that up with winning in Hungary 7-1 in May 1954
But my main memories of England vs Hungary was the '82 World Cup qualifying.
England won in Budepest 3-1. One of the goals was Brookings shot that stuck into the top corner of the net.
Then at Wembley after England were given a reprieve when Romania lost at home to Switzerland(?)..the BBC showed the England Hungary game live.... Mariner scored the only goal almost tripping over the ball knocking it in
Great save by Gordon and then a save off the line!!
COME ON YOU JOCKS
Grealish....absolutely rubbish cross
100 million!!!!1
Bloody Hell...Shaw has a high boot...in the book....Ref gives a penalty
Lazy defending
Maybe this will wake England up!!!
Bollocks. A shoulder high challenge and the Mag's are awarded a pen. Not good
Pickford trying to play mind games...just get back to your line and try to save it
One nil Hungary
And there it is. England behind for the first time I can remember recently.
I so wish keepers didn't get....REACT.... You spend the entire game reacting to shots...some from point blank range
TRY AND SAVE IT!
I can't remember when they were last behind
Nations League semi?
England still too slow
too much passing around the back
I don't like that call. In the replay you can see that Nego's dipped his head into the challenge. If his head is as low and in the way, it should be an obstruction and called the other way.
Andorra ahead in San Marino
Still scoreless in the Albania Poland match
Now Kane goes down in the box.... ref says no
England needs two wins to qualify
They host Albania and visit San Marino
Mr. Hernandez isn't making any friends in England tonight as he ignores that Kane got tagged in the box.
I agree with you about the pen
Have England had a shot on goal.... 30 minutes gone!!
Useless free kick effort by McTom
Thank-you. That was dangerous play on the part of Nego.
Varane has a groin injury....out a "few" weeks
United are screwed with him and Mags out with a big run of games against some big uns
Grow up Grealish....this ref will book you!
Lindeloff and Jones!!!
YIKES
This is the side I remember from the Summer. Full of nasty niggly fouls. I'm just glad that they didn't bring that brute with the Alice band.
Absolutely rubbish free kick by Foden....didn't get higher than the defender's knees
Uh-oh. That's a loss with both of them out.
Has any England player done anything?
Free kick chance for England...bit of a dive by Mount
To no one!!
Does every England attack have to go thru all four defenders before they go forward !
Throw in to England...has gone back and forth TWICE with the back four
It was a foul but another dive by Grealish
It's a very disjointed performance. A little unfortunate to play a physical side in the third match of this cycle when players are tired.
GOAL!!!
England's first attempt on target!! Stones directs the ball into the net from a Foden free kick
Wahey. A dangerous cross and Stones finishes. He's useful on set pieces.
But I want a lot more threat from Sterling, Kane, and Graelish than they've offered up to now.
Isn't this only England's second match?
Again...Stones hasn't played a single minute for Citeh this season
Foden looked impressive in the middle against Andorra...wish he played there tonight
Grealish.....stop faffing about with it...SHOOT
Maybe so. It was Andorra just the other day. I may be imagining another game.
At least we're getting some set pieces off these bruisers.
Another free kick....geez...straight to the keeper
That was a good first touch by Grealish to get behind...out for a corner
Poor corner by Shaw
Scotland go into the half scoreless in Faroe Islands
Sterling with a back post header saved....rebound....hopeless
Sometimes I forget that Jack is like that Bon Jovi song; Halfway there and livin' on a prayer.
England cannot qualify tonight officially but if they win here and the Poland Albania match ends in a draw
England would be 6 points up on Albania with two games to go. England's goal difference would at least +22 and Albania's would be +5
Nice one Steve
Portugal are 3-0 up at ht vs Luxembourg
Goals by Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Bruno.....get them off!!!
Luxembourg are. obliging that way.
Scotland are underway again
England coming out for the second half...lots of giggling as they come out...YOU'RE NOT WINNING!
Off we go
Come on England
Come on England
Come on England
England won 21 straight home qualifiers
Outscoring their opponents 73-7
VAR checking for a pen for Scotland
Check over
Nothing given
Kane has done nowt today....come on!
Corner to England
Corner punched away
Come on England...EXCITE ME!!
Grealish goes diving again!!
You had him beat!! Why dive!!!
A corner, not a free kick, given
So many England players are just flopping down whenever they get touched!!
Shaw heads away a cross... Grealish knocks it straight back to him....GET IT OUT!
Robertson with a useless modern day cross!!
To absolutely no one!!
Shaw with an awful pass
Scotland pushing more in the second half but still goalless
Corner to the Hungarians
England having a dodgy few minutes at the back right now
COME ON!!
Everyone mentions the 3-6 in '53 and never follow it with the 7-1 in '54
Sterling with a chance to cross....to no one
Andorra two up in San Marino
Has Mount or Rice done a thing so far
Kane and Sterling either
Kane with a shot.... easily saved
England's passing has been so poor
So has their decision making
poor poor poor
Kane with his patented touch and shot across the box and into the keeper's arms.
Grealish gets to the ball..USELESS CROSS
Rice has been defensively sound. Mount has been nothing but there's time
Shouldn't Rice be more than defensively sound...be part of the attack as well
Someone is about to come on
Sterling....can't get the bloody ball over!!!
Stones nearly with a second!
Stones inches from giving England the lead
Saka on for Jack.
Grealish off for Sako
SakA
Grealish looks pissed about coming off
Nothing came of Jack's tricky flicky stylings. He should be a little disappointed. He could take that back to the Etihad for a few matches for my taste.
Too much passing and then a poor pass and we lose possession
The final ball is not there!!
Mount with a chance to find two teammates and it gets cut out
20 minutes for Scotland to find a winner
I hate the two defenders in the box for a goal kick!
Boggles my mind...just putting yourself under pressure in your own box!
Rashford! Pillock!
Kane plays in Sterling....FINISH IT!!
RUBBISH
?
Tell me about it. Arsenal have had lots of trouble doing that. Even with Ramsdale in the nets, I hate it.
England just passing it without any point... and Shaw loses it
OOOPS. I meant Raheem but autocorrect has another idea.
Hungarian corner cleared
COME ON ENGLAND
ahh.....well I agree with you 100%...PILLOCK
What is with Kane?
Hendo for Mount?
Kane....hopeless
He was offside anyway
His form has been rotten...if it is all because he couldn't make a move then that is very unprofessional!!
Such a simple pass by Rice sent Foden so wide!!
Two changes
Kane coming off for Tammy A
Sterling off for Henderson
Not exactly positive changes there!!!
Taken off Kane, Sterling and Grealish!
Poland have taken the lead in Albania
Poland are now only three points behind England
4 behind in goals
England have just over ten minutes to make it all right
COME ON!!
TRY
Free kick... foul called
FYI... Result....EFL Trophy... Newport 3 Arsenal 4
Arsenal Academy that is
What is up with Stones...hardly touched
Is that our women? Yeah, they're dead good.
Scotland have scored in the 86th minute
England could have fallen behind!!
The Academy? Oh, that's much better.
What a let-off. I don't like that breakdown in concentration one little bit.
Phew!!
3-2 down!
VAR checking the goal
So the Jocks have pulled themselves together and lead against those wee Vikings?
It counts
CR7 with a hat-trick
England's crosses.....GRRRRRRRR
Why was the Poland match abandoned?
McTom in the book...too much of a hot head!!
I have no idea!
Not feeling Abraham as Kane's back-up. Next candidate please.
4 added minutes under the arch
Still going sideways...and then poor pass
Tammy A straight off...Jose won't be pleased
Albanian missiles thrown at Polish players. Somebody got hit and the ref sent the Poles to the dressing room for safety.
Abraham has to limp off. No great loss. Watkins should have been on instead.
Match is suspended... right now
I live for little Joe's displeasure.
Get in the box!!
STILL just passing it around the midfield and then a hopeless ball into the box
MORONIC
That's it
England were pathetic and didn't deserve any more
Scotland have won
Stupid foul just plays into their timewasting. And that's it. Disappointing game. No-one up front stepped up to grab ahold of this one. OK, that's me. I have a wedding this weekend so I'll miss Saturday. Cheerio.
England still in pole position
They would need one win from Albania or San Marino
Take care Steve
Sorry to miss out on the chat today due to teaching, but I'm not sorry that I missed the drab performance. Gareth has quite a few issues to sort out before Qatar.
