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!

It's 4th Round Time!


Morning, chaps! It's 4th Round Cup time. I'm up early to watch Ipswich taking on plucky Maidstone on the Plus. At 10am, my eyes will be laser focused on Elland Road as my beloved Leeds United host Plymouth Argyle. Then the late one is Fulham v. Newcastle. Join me for all the Cup romance today.

It's been a busy morning here at the Cottage so I haven't been able to comment. Ipswich went down to non-league Maidstone in a thrilling Cup tie early on.

Things were going swimmingly for my Leeds boys in the first half, thanks to a wonder strike from Jadon Anthony. Lovely tribute to his mum, who just passed away. And of course he got booked for that. Ridiculous!

The tempo dropped off in the second half and Farke, as usual, failed to make changes when it was desperately needed. So, we let Plymouth equalize.

So, now Farke has thrown on all of the attackers in an attempt to win it. Poveda, Lord Bamford, Firpo.

Oh - Lord Bamford nearly scores right off the bat with a header from a corner.

We've still got about 10 minutes to win this one. We definitely do not need an away day on the south coast with our busy schedule.

Matteo coming on now as well. The usual Farke tactic. Throw everything at them at the 80th minute.

Five minutes of stoppage time to come.

Oh - mad scramble in the Plymouth box and Joseph was just wide with the effort.

Late, late corner chance now - last chance saloon. This one needs to go in!

That looks to be it now.

Yes, it's a draw in the end. We're still in the Cup but it adds a needless weekday trip to the south coast to our busy league fixture list.
