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!
Saturday is back and we've got some tasty morsels on offer. Liverpool is currently besting Sunderland 0-1 away while my Leeds boy are holding league favorites Forest 1-1 at the City Ground.

Liverpool have beaten Sunderland 2-0 with goals from Sissoko and Veronin. Good start to the season for the Reds.
Leeds are down to the last five minutes at Forest 1-1. We've won all three of our games so far late on, so I'm hoping for more late heroics from Kandol or Flo.
And as I type that, Jermaine Beckford has stuck in his second goal of the season in the 89th minute for what I hope is the winning goal. Wow!
Yes! Final score - Forest 1 Leeds 2. Unbelievable stuff from the lads. We're on -6 points now.
Congratulations again!!!!!
Long may it continue
Thank you, mate. Arsenal up next - who do you favor in this one? For once, I think you might want the Arse to win this on, right?
Brum have taken the lead at Pride Park
So how did you lot let Casper Schmeichel slip through your grasp?
Peter played for Citeh after United.
Very diplomatic of you, mate. Are you running for President?
How can you let RVP get a shot off from there!!!
Fulham have scored at Villa Park.
Dempsey with the goal
Oh yeah, that's right. I'd forgotten that. Still, no love for his former club?
Excellent. Dempsey missed a sitter last week for Fulham and I thought he was looking a bit underconfident against Sweden.
Villa look terrible this season.
Charlton are having a tough start and they are losing at home to Wednesday
Derby are at the bottom of the Prem for the first time. That should be a familiar position for them this season, I suspect.
Charlton are two down
I was on the phone with a fellow teacher. I used to work with her in elementary school and she is moving up to my school.
She never stops talking.
Who did Arse sub just then?
Citeh have had some chances on the break. They should have done better each time
Another chance that should have done been put away
The Rugby League Challenge Cup Final is being held at Wembley today.
They better not ruin the playing surface.
I always hated them playing at the old stadium.
Sorry, mate. I was distracted by Karen too. Women, eh? They never understand that Saturday morning is sacred. Anyway, I think it was a defender. They were talking about Arsenal's injury woes so early in the season, Gallas most notable.
Citeh are not playing that bad
Bugger, Lamps has scored
No they aren't. Sven's got them well organized.
Btw, it was Sagna who went off injured, replaced by Denilson. That would be a bad one for them; Sagna was looking pretty good so far.
Lamps has certainly got his shooting boots on these days.
I think United only gave Citeh a few chances to score. They have had more already today
Short may it continue
The shadows are pretty annoying, aren't they?
Bolton are one up against Reading
Bad news for Leeds.
Leyton Orient have scored away from home to take the lead. They are stretching the lead on Leeds.
Don't worry, Leeds will still take em
After all, they way it is going Leeds are going to end up with 123 points!!!
Wouldn't mind a few more Lampard goals for England, mate. Yes, the shadows from these newfangled stadia are annoying.
Very close for The Arse. Nice move
We'll probably need about 110 points to secure the division championship. A tall order, indeed.
Huddersfield are down right now and Leyton Orient are drawing. As it is we're only ten points off the playoff spots.
Now, why doesn't Fabregas hit that one at goal? They're still trying to walk the ball into the net.
Back to your woman coment, my woman is sitting here watching the match with me!!!
I thought that Thaksin Shinawatra had been served an extradition order. Why's he at the match? Shouldn't he be on a plane back to Bangkok?
Leyton O. are winning mate
Casper's looking a wee bit shaky here.
Off to the loo, I will be right back
There is normally a goal when I leave
West Ham have had penalty call waved off and a Craig Bellamy goal disallowed for offside.
You did almost miss a goal there. RVP should've done better with that one.
The Arse really should be one goal up at least here. They've had the lion's share of the first half, especially towards the end, but that's what happened last weekend too, right?
congrats Bob. 2-1 is another good result.
Better than good... Great
PLAY UP POMPEY!!!!!
Derby have equalized against Brum.
Villa have done the same with Fulham
As type, United are in the relegation zone!!!
Bolton have scored a second against Reading
Bugger, Southend have taken the lead against Millwall
oooh, that was close by Citeh
Where are you Robert?
Citeh should have scored again.
Who is this guy SVEN?
Was it a pen?
The ref didn't call it, the linesman did.
Yes, it is an easy pen.
Kasper saves the pen!!!
Will Citeh every let a goal in?
The Arse starting to turn the screw
Derby have fallen behind again
United now in 19th
Good defending by Richards
Apparently, I am alone.
Wigan have scored at Upton Park
Nice goal by Cesc
350 minutes of no goals. Well done Kasper
Commentator said Arsenal's relentless pressure. I think Citeh have held their own.
The Hammers have tied it up.
Bowyer with the goal
Now Arsenal are all over them
According to Sky, Lamps goal went right through James!!!
Who is going to play in goal for England????
Villa looks like they get the winner in the 91st minute
Bolton are three up
Villa, Chelski and Birmingham win
Late corner for Citeh
Kasper gets his head to hit and forces the save.
Just like the old man, wanting the goal
The Arse gets the win.
I am still impressed by Citeh.
Chelsea are the new leaders.
They are followed by Citeh, Wigan, Liverpool and Arsenal
MANCHESTER UNITED in NINETEENTH PLACE
Cambridge United's 100% record is over.
They drew away with Woking.
They are in 2nd. I would like to see them back in the league
Where did you go Bob?
With Chelski, Viva la Arsenal and Costa Del Liverpool all getting the win, United better beat Spurs tomorrow!!!!
Blackburn score after 15 minutes
Nice over head kick hits the bar and Santa Cruz scuffs the rebound and that's why it went in.
Phil Milton for England!!!
Actually, is the rumor that England would cap Kaspar Schmeichel true? Does he qualify?
He was certainly the most entertaining player out on the pitch today. Loved him running up the park to put his head on a last ditch effort.
I don't think he can. He played in the U21 or something for Denmark.
Other than that, he could
Sorry to abandon you abruptly. Karen turned off the Internet connection mid-way through the Arsenal match. So I'll be Internet-less for the next week or so. You lot will have to keep the LOB homefires burning and I'll check in when I can.
Cheers!
Bugger. Still, when we're casting the net for a keeper that far, you know that it's a big problem.
