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!

I'll look forward to your company during this afternoon's match, which - I probably don't have to stress - is an absolute must win. But more than the win, England need to show some decent form in order to restore McClaren's reputation.

I am here and England are stinking it up after 12 minutes
Irsrael have already won 4-0 against Estonia
Scotland losing in Italy
NI losing at home to Sweden
Wales winnng at home to San Marino
HEALY HAS SCORED AGAIN FOR IRELAND!!!
England are playing hopeless again. No penetration according to Talksport
I am watching the Czech vs Cyprus.
They just scored
Wales have scored again
Heya Dave! I've just got home to Jax and I cannot believe that England haven't scored yet against these no hopers. WTF!
Healey - shame he can't score for his employers. What a plonker!
Hey mate
What on earth is going on with Roon. He hasn't scored for England since the bloody last Euros! Time to clip old jug ears round the head and get him motivated. Shame that Sir Alex isn't here for the time-honored hair dryer!
Andorra are being very physical. Flying elbows.
England are losing the minds.
Rooney is definitely going to be sent off. He has no sef control
Macca shouldn't have played him in a game like this. England's B team should be able to polish off this lot.
From 365: "Downing plays another poor ball in from the left, which doesn't even come close to beating the first man."
Why is he on the pitch?
It is so depressing!!!
one shot on target in 35 minutes against at team ranked in the 160s
Yeah, it is depressing. It looks as if Micah Richards is the only one on the pitch who's got anything invested in the match.
They're likely to be booed off by their own fans at this rate. Apparently Macca was greeted by fans at the end of the Israel match chanting - "You don't know what you're doing!"
2039: At this stage in Andorra's previous four qualifiers they have been at least 2-0 down. The England fans are upping the boo-ometer.
Roon just kicked out at some one. He should come off before he gets sent off.
You know, Alan Green threatened to "top himself" if England didn't win tonight after the Israel. Should he start tying the noose?
The latest chant tonight
You're not fit to wear the shirt
Absolutely, stick Defoe on at the half and get him out.
I can't wait for 606
Someone on the WSD podcast the other day suggested that England start the U-21s instead of the A team in future internationals. On this evidence, there's an argument for that.
Halftime.. the boos are really loud.
What a load of rubbish being yelled.
This is what soccernet gamecast says
"That was quite honestly a pathetic half of football. Andorra predictably have nothing to offer and England are again devoid of any imagination or creativity. Harsh words needed in the dressing room."
Here's the 365 comment:
Half-time: Andorra 0 England 0: England have been bad. Very bad. Ashley Cole in particular has had a shocking half, as has Stewart Downing. Gerrard and Lennon at least have shown some urgency, and Johnson has carved out a few chances, but they will have to improve in a big way in the second half if they are to get the convincing win that they really should.
Let's be clear - Macca has forty five minutes to rescue England's Euro 2008 campaign and his career.
In World Cup Cricket, the Aussies thumped the Windies by 103 runs in a rain-delayed session this morning and South Africa are well on their way to beating Sri Lanka.
They have started again
COME ON ENGURLUND
NI have scored again.. guess who?
They could be top of their group
Wisey better start him on Saturday
Come on you England boyssssss!
The problem is that Healey can't score for toffee when he's got the LUFC shirt on - it's all Norn Irish pride for him obviously. Robbie Blake's our leading scorer.
England are at last making some chances but..
in the soccernet gamecast there are a total of three circles standing for goal attempts.
The Czechs are struggling on TV with Cyprus
Yeah, and they got beaten on Saturday by the Germans. They're in trouble.
ENGLAND HAVE SCORED
Gerrard
Wahay! It's not enough but it's at least the three points. I was really starting to worry for Greeny's life there.
By all accounts Gerrard has been stinking it up though
Scotland just gave away another goal in Italy
Sounds like a good goal too - cross from Lennon, knock down by Roon and a good finish by Stevie G.
As you were saying
"I feel mightily relieved with that goal."
Five Live commentator Alan Green
Rooney has been carded. Second game in a row.
He will now miss Estonia in June
That was inevitable. Hopefully wee Mikey will be back in the fold by then.
Richards has to leave on a stretcher.
Dyer replaces him... why him!!!
Defoe is on for Rooney
Who would you put on?
Nugent or Barry
Fair enough. I like Nugent. Dyer is in good form these days.
South Africa are making it a rough on themselves.
They only need 28 runs but have lost five wickets
I have never rated him at all
Everyone seems to love him
Gerrard just took a dive for a penalty. Not given
Wales have scored a penalty
Naughty naughty Stevie. I can't believe he has to resort to that against a bunch of part timers. Pathetic.
It sounds like the service from the wide men has been good - well, apart from the woeful Downing - but the final touch has been horrible.
England have drifted back into that mode of incredibly dull football.
From Soccernet
England have scored again
Gerrard scores again.
I hope this doesn't make Macca say they played well
Rep Ireland have beaten Slovakia 1-0
There's no chance that Macca can get away with claiming that this is a good result. They've been horrible and have basically scratched out a 2-0 win against a group of fishermen.
Since when did Stevie G. become our feckin' scoring threat?
Cashley has got away with a yellow card after shoving over one of the fishermen. Pathetic.
NI have won.
TOP OF THE GROUP
Sweden had a 100% record before tonight
Nugent is on for AJ
Cyprus have been getting lots of chances on the tellie
Scotland lose in Italy
Good to see Nugent get his England debut.
This is what Macca is going to say
"It was a decent performance. We controlled the play. I am pleased with a 2-0 win away from home in today's international game. I know we can player. We must play better."
Can you think of any other things he is going to say?
Three nil... Nugent with the goal. Nipped in to steal it from Defoe
A goal on his debut - Roy of the Rovers stuff! He must be chuffed.
Caller on Talksport doesn't like how Andorra has rolled around and stuff. England shouldn't exchange shirts.
It was from two inches out. YOU COULD HAVE SCORED FROM THERE
Game over
Andorra 0 England 3
England are getting booed off.
606 should be interesting.
Yes, I'll look forward to it.
Cheers, Dave. It was slightly less painful sharing it with you.
Same with me.
Talk to you on Saturday?
Definitely. We need some David Healey goals then.
Actually no... Leeds play Friday night
