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!

Cor Blimey - It's the Final!

Well, well, well! Looks who's in the Final - it's England and Spain, just as Nostrabobus picked it! So, sit back, relax and enjoy this one, eh? And sing it with me - "It's Coming Home, It's Coming Home, It's Coming...."

Ian Darke and Landycakes on the commentary duties this afternoon. Of a poor Fox lot, they're the best.

Early yellow card for Harry Kane now. Seems really soft.

Shaw has done a superb job with Lamine Yamal so far; that's likely why Gareth swapped him in for Trippier.

You're fortunate to be out of the country at the moment - we're living through crazy times.

Saw the news when we returned to the hotel last night from Bristol. Had a hard time sleeping. MSM madness is global, there is no hiding.

Bollocks - we're barely underway in the second half and the excellent Nico Williams scores for Spain. 0-1.

Gareth needs to make some changes soon. I'd like to see Palmer on for sure. He makes things happen.
