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!

Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 7 Update

 

Happy Tuesday, PPPers! I decided to wait until this afternoon's relegation six-pointer clash between Luton and Burnley to update all of you with our standings. As usual, it was a dramatic weekend in domestic and European football, with some real implications for our game. Citeh are still top of the pops, even after dropping their first clanger of the season at Wolves. But the European qualifiers have shuffled again, with Brighton dropping out and Villa popping in for a chat. 

At the bottom, Burnley and Sheffield Utd. continue to languish despite Burnley's big win this afternoon. They've been joined this week by Bournemouth. After losing 0-8 at home to Newcastle last week, Sheffield Utd boss Paul Heckingbottom became the first manager to get the cursed "vote of confidence" from his board, which means he'll likely walk the plank next week.

In the Championship, our old friends, The Tractor Boys, are top of the league, with Leicester and others in hot pursuit. Sadly, my beloved Leeds are back in mid-table obscurity after getting spanked by Southampton at the weekend. 

Real Madrid are back on top in Spain, while Leverkusen have pipped Bayern again this weekend. So, most of us just moved our two points away from Bayern and onto Real this week. While Erling Haaland still rides high in the scoring charts with 8 goals in 7 matches, there haven't been many assists or clean sheets, so both brackets are cluttered with contenders. 

It all mean that it's all change this week and somehow I've rotated up to the top spot. Here are the current standings: 

1. Blue Devil - 43 points
2. oticoN - 42 pts
3. Man Utd Rules - 40 pts
4. Gooner71 - 39 pts
-   Someone Said - 39 pts
6. MOT the Hoople - 38 pts
-   Teddy Goalesevelt - 38 pts
8. Red Dragon - 37 pts
9. Bee's Knees - 35 pts
10. United We Stand - 33 pts
11. West Ham Rising - 32 pts
12. Red Devil 1FCK - 27 pts
