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!

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!

Half-time: Well, it's been a really pedestrian outing so far. In fairness, Daniel Farke made eight changes, which is typical for this kind of match. Still, even our second team should be beating a mid-table side like Boro if we're supposed to be favorites for promotion. Not at all happy with this.

This performance has been a clear indication that our second team isn't up to the challenge.

Bollocks! Boro have come out firing and have the lead now. Really poor there. Firpo out of position, no challenge from Weber and Darlow should have palmed it around. Grrr! 0-1.

0-2 Boro now and we look a right shambles.

The usual Farke move - throw five players when desperate. Bogle, Rutter, Gnonto, Gruen and Struijk all coming on.
