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!

Hump Day Test for the Super Whites!

 

Hiya, chaps - it's a big, big day in the domestic and European footie scene, with matches in the Champions League and in the Championship. The second day of Matchday 1 matches in the CL kicks off this afternoon, with Arsenal hosting PSV and ManYoo enjoying an away day at Bayern. 

But my eyes will be firmly on my beloved Leeds United's traveling roadshow pulling up at Hull City this afternoon. It all kicks off at 2:45 on Paramount Plus and ESPN+. If you're watching, drop by for a cuppa and a natter.

All the chances are falling for Dan James. Hasn't got his shooting boots on yet.

Looks like Gnonto has a problem now. Looks like he may have to come off.

Cry Summerville has come on for Gnonto - not good. Hope it's not an extended injury.

Oh - Rutter had a one on one with the keeper but Allsop turned it around for a corner.

Midway through the first half and it's 0-0 are we're playing well. Might well be ahead.

Cry wins another corner with a vicious strike on target. We're really pressing.

Five minutes til half time. Still 0-0. This is my worry about this Leeds side. When a team drops off, we have trouble breaking them down.

Oh - Cry Summerville with a great effort that Allsop had to turn around.

Bayern have suddenly jumped out to a 2-0 lead. United in trouble tonight. ETH under massive pressure now.

Half-time: I'm a bit surprised that Hull haven't taken the match to us. We've dominated throughout but haven't converted our chances. 0-0.

I'm shocked by the lack of ambition from Hull; we're down to 10 men after Rodon's second yellow but we've still dominated,

Big chance for Hull but they've missed it. It's perhaps predictable that they've pressse forward at the end of this one.

This one looks like it's coming down to another 0-0 draw. I'm not entirely disappointed with that.
