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!

Euro 2024 Predictions - Semi-final Update

Evening, all. I hope that you're all still basking in the glow of that late, late win for England yesterday. For the second tournament around Gareth Southgate has steered the team into a Euro final. Let's hope that it won't come down to a penalty shoot-out again. Sadly, for most of you, who picked France to win the tournament and either Germany or Portugal to rival them in the final and Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle Kylian Mbappe to be Golden Boot, there are not many points bouncing around for you at this point. Only three of us picked England - West Ham, UWS and yours truly. It was a real jackpot for me as I not only picked both finalists but good old Captain Kane as Golden Boot. He and Spain's Dani Olmo are the only players on three goals who have the best chance of winning that competition outright. Well, I suppose Jude Bellingham could score a perfect hat-trick on Sunday - works for me! In any case, it means a whopping 20 points coming to the Blue Devil. Sing it with me, boys - "It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming - the Lancer Cup's coming home!" Here are the current standings in full: 1. Blue Devil - 72 pts 2. United We Stand - 61 pts 3. West Ham - 57 pts 4. Gooner71 - 56 points 5. Teddy Goalesevelt - 52 pts 6. Man Utd Rules - 51 pts - Red Dragon - 51 pts 8. Bee’s Knees - 50 pts 9. Red Devil 1FCK - 46 pts 10. oticoN - 44 pts
