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!

A Very Important Saturday!

 

Morning, chaps! I'm up early to have a look at Leicester City as they take on WBA,  desperate to bounce back from their recent slump in form. Of course, I'll be hoping that the Baggies can get something at the DW. Later on at 10am, we've got some relegation battles featuring Luton, Sheffield and Burnley. In the afternoon, we've got the first FA Cup semi between City and Chelsea. And the evening kickoff is Wolves v. Arsenal.

Join me if you're watching.

Jamie Vardy has passed a late fitness test and starts up front. But they've had to reshuffle the back four with Ricardo Perreira out.

And we're away on a gorgeous April day in the Midlands.

Carlos Corberan is playing a high press and it nearly paid off there but the WBA striker couldn't keep the shot down.

Leicester have an early free kick now.

I'm really surprised that Kyle Bartley is still at WBA and that a Premiership club hasn't picked him up. He's definitely a top center back, IMHO.

When he was at Leeds, I'm reminded that the Leeds faithful used to sing a bit of Chaka Khan to him:

"Ain't no Bartley, like Kyle Bartley.
Make me feel good, make me feel this way."

Lovely!

Oh - great block on the line by Choudury after a blistering break from the Baggies. I thought that was going to be am opening goal.

Fifteen minutes gone and WBA are on top. I'm hoping that the home fans will start to get on the team.

Bugger - Leicester have scored through Ndidi after Vardy's initial headed chance. 1-0 Foxes.

Half an hour gone and it's still 1-0 Foxes. If only one of those early chances for the Baggies had gone in.

So, Leicester have won 2-0 today and Southampton have gone down 1-2 to Cardiff. One good result, one bad result for us.
