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!

The End of the Road

 

Morning chaps - it's the end of another long Premier League season. I can't say that it's been a fun one to watch for me as a Leeds fan. We've only won seven matches in 37 and have gone through three managers. We've still got a shot at survival but it's a long one. We'll need to beat Spurs at home, of course, but that's just the start. We'll also need both Everton and Leicester to draw. Or there are some permutations involving goal difference and goals scored. Chances are that we'll be relegated today and I'll go right with them as always, hoping that we can turn it around in the Championship next season. So, for the last time this season and perhaps for the last time in the Premier League for a while - come on, you Whites! #MOT!

I am settling in after some diaper duty to watch this one. Not expecting much, don’t expect to enjoy it. But MOT.

Fat Sam has put out an intriguing side. Most of the season, we’ve gone after teams from the off and then collapsed in the second half. Fat Sam’s today seems to be to keep it tight until late and then try to spring s late surprise.

Half-time: 0-1 down. Meanwhile Everton are drawing and Leicester are winning. We need goals from WH Bmouth and two goals for us.
