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!

Spring Forward Football

Morning, boys! I'm easing into my easy chair at the end of a busy week with the comforting knowledge that my Leeds boys did the biz at Hillsborough and I can relax and enjoy the footer today. First up for me is the Championship clash between Cardiff and Ipswich, where I'll be hoping that the Welshman can help us out. At the same time, I'll be rooting for ManYoo to inflict some damage on Everton. 

At 10am, USA are favoring us with the relegation dogfight between the very entertaining Luton Town and the dull as dishwater Palace. 

Finally, the Arsenal have a London derby with Brentford to see to in the late one. 

Join me for all the thrills and spills, won't you?

Wahay! United take the lead as Garnacho is brought down and Bruno slots home the penalty!

Cardiff and Ipswich still at 0-0.

This match is going right to plan. With only 20 minutes left, Cardiff and Ipswich are still at 0-0. If this scoreline holds up, Leeds will stay in second, level on points with Ipswich but with much better goal difference.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has added a second penalty to add to Everton's woes. Lovely jubbly.
