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!

Kuyt has scored after 4 minutes!!! They are all over them.
The pressure has on stopped because Robben is hurt and needs treatment from two physios.
Pennant scores a cracker!!!
Make that 2-0 for the 'Pool.
Lovely Jubbley
Now, if United could avoid defeat tomorrow, what a lovely weekend.
Robben is off with an ankle injury and on comes SWP
If the score stays the same, Liverpool will only be five points behind Chelsea.
They will still be 11 behind United with United still to play
Chelsea have come back into a little but the score is still 2-0.
Chelsea's defence is very week.
Carvalho was sick overnight so he isn't playing.
Alonzo has a nasty cut on his lower lip. Blood is all over.
I just looked on my Skysports window and it says USA vs Denmark? Is that women?
Why am I asking questions? No one is there to answer
Cardiff City are in front at Wolves. Absolute silence at Molineux. Cardiff fans are banned from the ground
Half time at Anfield.
Liverpool 2 Chelsea 0
I absolutely hate rooting for Liverpool but may it continue for another 45 minutes.
I thought that the US game was the men. No real media coverage though.
Liking this result.
Have you ever had any success trying to locate an Asian video stream of the Prem? My Brit friends do it all the time for the PPV games but I can never get it to work.
Well come Gooner
I have never heard of it.
Where does he go for this?
This game isn't on PPV, it is on Setanta.
Is there any more PPV?
There is for the FA Cup but I don't think there is for the Prem
Here's the site where he says the pic quality is the best.
http://www.asiaplatetv.com/tuto_sopcast.htm
you have to download their player and that seems to be where I'm getting hung up.
Thanks, I will take a look
Looks like I couldn't use it with a Mac
Oooh, Liverpool just hit the crossbar.
Talksport were there when it happened.
I'm going to do a little work on trying to find out how to do this because it would be cool to have the game up and this little dialog box going.
Sounds good.
I meant to ask you something,
First, thank you so much for all the arrangements you made for our trip in April.
Kathy also mentioned that you asked about a car.
What would be a ballpark figure of one?
I know it is the weekend but...
Another question-have you ever found video of the Goodies doing "Eckythump?"
It got cold here for the first time this year, and I dragged out the long coat and my hat and my scarf. I was downtown walking by a building with a mirror-window treatment and saw my reflection -- Heyup, I were all Eckythump.
Won't be wearing that ensemble again.
Ferreira gets booked and is banned for the cup game with Forest.
I am loving this!!
I don't know about the car off-hand. I don't book a lot of large vehicles which you would need with the 5.
I just sent myself an email to look into it.
Do you two know how to drive a manual shift transmission? It's way less expensive.
I wish I could have seen you
20 minutes to go.
Hold on Pool
It were hilarious. All I was missing was the black pudding!
Sheva is on
Wolves have tied it up with Cardiff
Yes, it needs to hold five of us.
Yes, I can drive a standard
cool. I'll hit you with a message on Monday.
Thanks, I am just looking into it.
I have never had to do before but since there are five of us it would be tough to get around
I am glad that you have joined me today Gooner.
Of course, I won't want anything to do with you between 11 and 1 tomorrow.
Very happy with this 2-0 scoreline.
More pressure on Jose? Don't feel sorry for him at all with his injury problems. Carvalho is a wanker and Jose knows it. Terry when he's fit is a liability and then there's Cashley.
No worries pal. You won't see hide nor hair tomorrow. If I wasn't a saddoe, I'd say best of luck. But I am so get stuffed and I hope we crush United and Scholes, Giggs, and Skippy get 3 sent off and have 6 match bans and Ferguson has to be hospitalized for apoplexy. Oh, yes.
Eckythump! I'm here lads. Good reading the banter. I've tweaked my back this week so I took one of the Percocets left over from my appendectomy and slept like a little lamb, so I missed the early festivities. But I'm here now.
The U.S. Denmark game is on live on ESPN starting at 4:50 p.m. It is the men's team and is the first time to look at them under Bob Bradley. Unfortunately, we've got dinner guests coming over so I'll be cooking then. I'll tape and watch it later. But enjoy.
Oi! Share those Percocets around.
It is all over at Anfield.
Liverpool 2 Chelsea 0
Great result for me.
Now United's turn to knock off the Arse. NINE POINTS CLEAR???
Love it. 2-0, final whistle and a long dready coach ride back to London for Mourinho and his cabal of moaners. I hope they go back in the dressing room and tear each other apart.
Welcome Robert.
Final whistle at Anfield.
Now it is United's turn.
Nine points clear????
I hope this result doesn't make Roman to go on Jose's side and buy ten defenders!!
Enjoy your Saturdays boys. I'm for getting out of the house.
You wish, mate. I'm down to my last five. I'm tempted to go all Rush Limbaugh and do some doctor shopping. They are magical.
Excellent result - love it. Definitely tightens things up at the top. Now the Arse have to thump Chelski and really put the cat amongst the pigeons in the Premiership. It's gotten very predictable recently.
How did you tweak your back? Playing for that team you mentioned?
We lost this week 10-6. I did, however, score a second half hat-trick. Of course, that is the important stat. Screw the team, get me goals!!!
See ya gooner.
You guys are going down tomorrow.
He can buy Boumsoung, Traore, and Bramble.
Welcome Johnno,
Shut it about my traveling plans.
Come on you Hammers, do a Birmingham
I'd like to make out that I tweaked my back bravely leading my Yeager Bombs team to victory over our archrivals the Edugators, but the reality is quite a bit more prosaic. I think it's down to too much sitting around in a drafty office in an uncomfortable chair. We start our season on Thursday evening and I'm looking for an orthopedic chair. I'm old.
Tell us Sir Trev, tell us.
Bob, I am just as old as you and I play two games a week.
Of course, I don't run. I am too fat and out of shape
Leeds host WBA this afternoon. They beat us two weeks ago in the Cup, but it's a new look Whites team today. Tore Andre Flo joins David Healey up top, Eddie Lewis is back in the fold and we've got our Portuguese signing Rui Marques making his debut in the back. I would take a point today - Come on you Whites!
Cardiff looks like they have scored a late winner in front of none of their fans.
Is Alan Thompson, the old Villa and Celtic player, playing?
He was talked about getting in the England team before he went north
I don't have HBO but have seen a few shows.
The one last season with Kate Winslet
I did see the David Bowie one last week
We were doing the yoga up until about a month ago when the owner went all Christian fundamentalist on us and starting playing Christian rock jams during shivasina. We bailed and are looking for another studio. Will explore the "hot" variety, Trev.
Just saw Giggs' goal against Spurs from the first year of the Prem. Classic.
Did you know he is the only player to score in all seasons of the prem?
What about Teddy? Cole?
I guess Cole was with Newcastle, they came up the first year
John, pleased that the Hammers are on the tellie?
Can you bare to watch?
JOHN, WEST HAM ARE ON!!!
Good boy
News from Fratton Park
1501: Pedro Mendes and Ben Thatcher shake hands.
Johnno - "bare to watch?" Well, whatever works for the Hammers. But make sure you get that stripping action on videotape, eh, mate? I'll expect a posting of the floorshow on the LOB next week.
Flo has scored for Leeds after three minutes!!!
So what, he is naked
First chance to see Nigel Quashie/Quasie/Quazzie/Quazzy in West Ham colors. Blimey, Carlton Cole is back in the Premiership!!!
Jose has just said that the lack of central defenders was the reason for the loss
No comment on FLO, Robert?
1-0! I'm baring all to follow my magical Whites on the Internet! But the missus is telling me to put my kit back on - it's frightening the cat.
Now all we have to do is put all eleven behind the ball for 89 minutes. Come on you Whites!
Uh oh, WBA have tied it up
Preston are losing 2-0 at home to Stoke already!!
Barnsley are winning!!
Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! I put it down to having to follow the match fully clothed. I'm baring it all again. Weeeeeee!
Boro one up against Bolton
Boro two up
Bloody hell - Barnsley have scored now. We were a point ahead of them a moment ago. Now they've stretched their lead to four points.
Listen buddy, don't you read my score updates!!!
I am feeling ignored
Sorry, mate. I am reading you. But you're quicker on the word processor than I am. Either that or Talksport is a few seconds ahead. Either way, I'm responding to 365 scores and then when I've posted you've already beaten me to it. Alright, then?
Ipswich 0 Colchester 1
Colchester United, the TOP team in East Anglia!!!!
No excuse
Skysports Live Sports Centre is really quick a the scores.
Uh oh,
Leeds 1 WBA 2
Colchester have had an amazing season. I tipped them for the drop earlier this year.
Yes, the Hammers with a goal
The turning pont?
The TV is ahead of the computer.
Your letter must have made a difference, Bob
Bugger!
But well done, the Hammers. Carlton Cole with must be a Goal of the Season contender there. Mad scramble in the box and I think it came off his ankle or maybe his shin. Doesn't matter. They all count. 1-0 Hammers!
I am known for my scathing letters, mate. I'm the new Scarlet Pimpernel.
We are officially bottom of the Coke - our lowest position in club history. (sigh)
Daren Ferguson, Sir Alex's son, is the new player manager of Peterborough. They are losing.
Dwight Yorke has scored for Sunderland
Two nil to the Hammers.
They can't blow this lead, can they?
Woo hoo, the Hammers! Are you baring it all, Sir Trev?
This is some classic finishing from the Hammers. A shinner from Cole and a toe poke from Harewood. Haven't seen that kind of quality since Ouda Allison.
Crikey, Peter Ramage looks like he's done his hammy. At this rate, the tea lady will be playing center back in the second half.
United We Stand has been knocked off the blog once again. If anyone from Blogspot is out there monitoring, why oh why don't you leave us alone to blog live in peace?
Nigel Quashie is in the wars already as a Hammer. He's bleeding like a stuck pig.
Uh oh - penalty for Newcastle. It was all looking so good for the Irons a while back with the Blades losing to Reading and the announcement that Lucas Neill was coming. Now it's 2-2. Can the Hammers find a winner?
Palace have taken the lead against Hull. Derby are still leading Southend. Unfortunately Barnsley are still leading. Not bad news, but we need to claw our way back against WBA to take any advantage. A point would do under the circumstances. Come on Wisey, pull your finger out!
Yes, Leeds are back in it! The new boys are doing the biz today. Alan Thompson with his first for the club on his debut.
2-3 - come on you Whites!
Now Shay Given has been carted off with what appears to be a groin injury. What on earth is in the Tyne water these days? They're lucky to be able to field a side at this rate.
The Hammers are living dangerously here...
Reading now 3-0 up!
Big free kick here for Newcastle....and Milner wastes it. Still 2-2.
Ten minutes left and Leeds are throwing everything at West Brom now. Come on!
More bad news for the Hammers. Charlton have taken a shock lead against Pompey.
QPR are behind now. We could use a Luton equalizer against Barnsley. And of course a Leeds equalizer. That's the main point, isn't it?
Spurs have given up a pen to Fulham and Vincenza Montella has netted the spot kick. That's three goals in his first two games for the club. What a hero!
Gooner will be happy. Boro have absolutely mullered the evil goblin horde of Bolton 5-1. That gives the Gunners every chance of stretching their advantage in the race for a Champions League spot.
The Tractor Boyz seem to have finally seen off their East Anglian rivals Colchester. It's 3-1. Well done, Blubber!
Oh dear, Scottie Parker's down getting treatment!!!
Well, well, well. Another three points dropped at home. Wisey red carded for dissent. We are in the crapper.
