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!

Feels Like Groundhog Day

 

Morning, chaps! We're finally beyond the odd little "Winter Break" and have a full slate of Premier League fixture this weekend. It all relegation-threatened Everton taking on high-flying Spurs at Goodison Park. This already feels like a must-win for the Toffees. The 10am matches are a bit rubbish to be honest but perhaps Newcastle v. Luton is worth a look. The late one is another chance to see the Evil Blades get mullered. 

Come on by for a natter, eh?

It was notable that Richarlison didn't celebrate in front of his former employers.

It being the 10th minute, Everton fans hold up their placards of protest and loudly boo the Premier League. While you have a measure of sympathy for them, it’s worth noting that their club is a founding member and current stakeholder of the organization they’re protesting against, and they did plead guilty to the charge of financial shenanigans laid against them.

GOAL! DCL finishes off a corner routine. VIcario is complaining that Jack Harrison was impeding him but VAR thinks not.

1-1!

Everton have climbed out of the dropzone on the basis of that goal, jumping over Luton Town.

GOAL! Oh, that's a peach of a goal from the former Toffee Richarlison who just hides his face under his shirt in embarassment.

1-2!

It's shocking to see Ashley Young still trudging along at the age of 38.

Everton came back to level matters right at the death at Goodison. 2-2 in the end, a scoreline that doesn't really help either side.
