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!

Wahay - It's Saturday!

 

We've come to the end of another long international break and here comes the football again! It all starts again with Liverpool pitching up at Molineux to play Wolves on USA early doors. That's followed by the usual 10am fixtures including matches involving both Manchester clubs. Finally, the late one on NBC is Brentford v. Newcastle. 

Join me if you're watching.

Nice run from Mateus Cunha, who Leeds were in for several windows ago. McAllister fouls him and picks up an early card for his trouble.

GOAL! Neto with a brilliant mazy run and pull back and Hwang kept his drive low and hard. Too hot to handle for Alisson.

1-0 Wolves!

I don't what to think of Liverpool this season. On paper, they should be better. And they did start in second this morning. But they haven't seemed convincing in any of the matches I've seen.

Oh - Diogo Jota should have done better with that chance. Could easily have put his team back on level terms.

GOAL! Liverpool have done it again! This time the apparent late winner in the 85th minute is from the unlikely figure of Andy Robertson.

Liverpool have become the come-from-behind experts this season, taking an age to get going and then really turning it on in the second half.

Harvey Elliott has added a third and nearly started a riot by running into the crowd at the away end. Scenes!
