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 First Saturday of the Season

 


Morning, chaps! Anyone fancy a spot of footer? Well, there are lashings of it on the telly today. It all starts with new-look Arsenal hosting Forest at the Emirates in the early one. How will the Gunners respond to Citeh's performance at Turf Moor in yesterday's opener? That's followed by the full slate of Premier League and EFL matches. I'll have my eye firmly on my beloved Leeds United's away day in the Midlands taking on Birmingham at St. Andrew's. Meanwhile, Luton Town play their first match back in the top flight away to Brighton. The late one is Newcastle hosting Villa. 

Join me if you're watching, won't you?

The delay doesn’t seem to have affected the Arsenal at all; they’re flying, with goals from Nketiah and Saka.

Really bad news out of the Leeds camp; both Gnonto and Sini have refused to travel.
