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!

The First Saturday of the Season

Morning, chaps! Hey ho - it's the first Saturday of the season. And we start with a real bang. My beloved Leeds United have had a turbulent week, dropping points on the opening weekend and then collapsing in the League Cup against Boro in midweek and then losing our talisman Georginio Rutter to Brighton at the end of the week. What on earth will we look like this morning as we travel to meet up with old friend Carlos Corberan at the Hawthorns. At the same time, Liverpool kick off their season against newly-promoted side Ipswich in a match that should really have featured us. Three years ago, we returned to the Premiership in glory with a superb performance in a losing 4-3 effort at Anfield. Now we're languishing in the Championship while Ipswich are enjoying a Premier League debut. Join me to see what the day bring, eh?

Let's Get it Started!

The Premier League begins here! I may be depressed about my beloved Leeds United's prospects after a disastrous summer, but I'm always excited to see the beginning of a Premier League season. It kicks off this afternoon with ManYoo taking on Fulham, just the kind of opening day challenge that suits the occasion. So, settle in and let me know how you're feeling about your club this season as we get started. Cheers!

Up for the Cup!

I'm settling in with the twins to follow the start of my beloved Leeds United's League Cup campaign, hosting Middlesbrough at the sacred Elland Road ground. We'll be hoping to bounce back from the disappointment of the opening weekend's draw against Portsmouth. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

It All Starts Here!

Morning, boys! I'm up early with a real sense of excitement and trepidation to watch my beloved Leeds United open our Championship campaign against Portsmouth this morning. If I'm being honest, I haven't been happy with the summer business, as we've only added three players and have sold 15, including Cry Summerville and Archie Gray. But every season begins with a sense of hope. So, come on, you Whites! MOT!
