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!
Now that those two Euro 2008 qualifiers are safely out of the way, it's back to the regular business of football. First up this morning on FSC - the North London derby from Shite Fart Lane. Drop by for a chat if you can, eh?

Fantastic free kick there from young Gareth Bale and Spurs are 1-0 up. Almunia was a bit suspect there, not covering his near post but I doubt that he expected the free kick to be hit to that area.
Adebayor has already had to chances saved well by Robbo, who has seemed to have gained some confidence from the two clean sheets for England this week.
And ManYoo have taken the lead through a header from the defender Vidic. They're now up into second place after that slow start to the season.
Another great save from Robbo from a sharp shot from Hleb. He's back to his best. And again at the feet of Adebayor.
Phew.
United have won!!!
Top of the table at the moment.
Great free kick from Bale. United almost got him.
Arsenal have had many chances. They have to put one away soon.
Costa del Pool saved a pen in the first half. I could really do with them losing
Good morning by the way.
Congratulations again for last night.
Going strong!!!
Did I get the trivia answer correct?
ManYoo have beaten Everton at Goodison by that lone Vidic goal - a priceless win for Sir Alex's men. I'm sure he's enjoyed this day better than his time in Euston Station.
Typical Arsenal from the Beeb
1354: You won't believe this but Arsenal are creating a lot of chances but not scoring. I know! Unbelievable!
They rip teams apart but don't score!!
Of course, my lot have score FOUR goals all season
Off the bar from Arsenal
Are you ignoring me Robert?
Morning, Dave. I was just posting on the trivia thread. You were spot on with Roon. He's #2 with four, all at Euro 2004, if memory serves. But not Scholesy.
I'll keep thinking
Interesting schedule on FSC.
London derby followed by West Ham Boro and then Chelski Blackburn.
I wonder if they are going to join the game at Upton Park in progress or show it on a half hour delay!!!
I wonder what game did Setanta have? Man Utd. or Everton?
You mean ManYoo vs. Everton or Pompey vs. Liverpool, right? I reckon it's the former. Odd schedule to the games today, though. I prefer everyone kicking off at 3 p.m., but that's just me.
As the half nears, Arsenal have had the better chances but haven't converted them.
Chimbonda's just been booked for flashes an "air yellow card" at the ref. Well in, referee.
Sorry about that mistake.
I agree with you about 3 o'clock kick offs.
Did you see the schedule for Saturday October 7th.
Aston Villa v West Ham
Man Utd v Wigan
AND THAT'S IT!!
Every other game is on Sunday.
I guess we will have to concentrate on United's win and Leeds 10th win in a row!!!
I put another comment on the trivia post
Pompey and Costa del Pool have finished scoreless.
United's reign at the top has ended. They are second on GD.
I've heard that there's a weekend coming up when there isn't a single Premiership 3 p.m. kickoff! What's the world coming to? I can still well remember those lazy Saturdays having a kickabout in your backyard in Worly with the BBC radio on in the background.
"Alexander didn't do great." Boom boom.
What was Berba doing. Just stick it in!!
Keeper went walkabout and Berba tried to round the last defender. WHY?
Fantastic defending there from Toure. But Almunia was playing silly buggers again. There's no way he's an adequate replacement for Mad Jens.
Great Memories
What a miss from Adebayor
I would've stuck that one away.
Well, let's not go overboard!!!
It's kind of odd being down here in the Swamp on a big game day. I spend the morning enjoying the FSC and then I go out in the afternoon and the whole universe is wearing orange and blue clothing and I think, "what's this all about!" I'm actually going to a game party today; it's the only time that I pay any attention to the gridiron.
Sounds like fun.
Shame I hate the Gators
I really like Tom Huddlestone. You?
I think he fifty times better than Jenas
Why would you hate the Gators?! We don't even play anyone close to you! It's all SEC teams.
Speaking of Hud should have scored
What's all the argy bargy between Almunia and Huddlestone there?
This game is getting chippy
Bugger, something happens in this match. FSC are behind.
SHOW IT LIVE!!!
There it is.
Good goal by the Arse
Oh dear, Robbo was gaining some confidence back but he's thrown that one away. He should've stayed on his line and he got nowhere near that cross.
Robbie Keane will want that chance back. Bale's off for Aaron Lennon - good to see him fit again.
Spurs have had their chances but I only see one winner... they're wearing red
Yeah, I agree. They're playing some scintillating stuff now. I really thought that Cesc was going to score there.
Was Bale hurt. I know he got one knock
From the Beeb
1457: Gareth Bale is leading the way in BBC Sport's Player Rater but it's not enough for Martin Jol, who hauls him off and brings on winger Aaron Lennon for his first appearance of the season.
Yeah, he was carrying a knock from the early stages.
Any idea of the Champs League schedule this week?
I'll check on my DVR
Tuesday
Costa del Pool and Porto
Wednesday
Man Utd and Sporting
What is your prediction for Upton Park?
Joined in progress or shown on tape delay?
What happened there on the line?
Good save?
Lovely. I'll be about for the ManYoo. I'll be teaching all day Tuesday.
They seem to favor taped delay.
The TV is behind the computer. There is a goal.
Are you delayed?
I think that it was off chest rather than arm, but I'd like to see it again.
Great goal.
He is scoring a lot this season!!!
A cracker from Fabregas! 2-1.
Robbo should have saved that
Fulham have taken the lead at Wigan
Heskey is off hurt after only ten minutes
Clint with the goal for Fulham
Is Jol in trouble now?
WHAT A MISS BY BENT!!!!
ELEVEN MILLION???????
Yeah, good on him. We're missing him at the Revvies, but he needs to be playing in the Prem. I heard some twat complaining about him on 606 but what do they want? He's their leading scorer.
Excellent finishing there from Bent!
Not much from RVP today - must be Ramadan.
Does Jol keep his job?
I think that it may well be curtains for Martin today. A big game and losing after taking the lead.
I think so too
Berba looks very frustrating.
I wonder if he is already looking for a house in the North West for Jan?
I've just noticed that Leeds are back in the drop zone based on today's action. Second bottom. Curses!
You're bloody not getting bloody Berbatov so just stop it. How many bloody strikers do you need?
What a bummer
Forest have scored away and every other team are holding out for a nil nil
That Howard Rogers bloke on WSD has been banging on about ManYoo getting Berba for ages now.
Another goal for the Gunners
WHAT A CRACKER!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of my goals
What was that from Adebayor?! Incredible! 3-1. Taxi for Martin Jol definitely.
West Brom have taken the lead over the Tractor Boys
Good match.
Now for #2 of three
Shef Wed are losing again.
THE EXACT OPPOSITE RECORD OF LEEDS
Interesting, they are showing highlight from Upton Park so they will go live.
I like it
Sunderland have taken the lead against struggling Reading.
Bellamy is off injured.
Not bad with the coverage, I agree.
I had to go to the Post Office and now I am back. Apparently, you're gone as well.
What a start from the Hammers.
An Old Leeds boy scores a good goal
25 seconds into the second half
Good move by Carlton Cole and it's an own goal. He had to try and cut off the cross. Unlucky. Two Nil to the Hammers
Cambridge have tied it up at the Abbey Stadium
Cambridge have scored another.
League Football, here they come
Off the crossbar from a lob for Boro.
Unlucky
Another goal for the Hammers.
Dean Ashton gets a goal.
Boro have had their chances but have fallen behind 3-0
The Mighty Bristol City are two up against former league leaders Coventry.
TOP OF THE TABLE!!
Wigan have tied it up with Fulham
I'm a happy, happy boy with a 3-1 win from behind under my belt this morning.
Cracking Ramadan reference Gator.
Another win for United, what is looking to be a win at romp for the Hammers, and a points plus total for Leeds. The LOB's favorites large and in charge. Enjoy the rest of your weekend boys.
Hey Stevo. A great well deserved win.
Top of the heap!!
What a miss by Cole
Reading have gotten a goal back at Sunderland
The Hammers win 3-0
Bob disappeared during this one.
Have a good day everyone.
Sorry about that, Dave. I was chatting with Gooner for while. Good thumping win for the Hammers. Chelski up next, looking to take the lead in the Prem.
Just saw that England Russia is being shown on Monday at 3 pm.
I guess we don't get Monday Night Football this year.
Just heard that Heskey has a suspected, wait for it, BROKEN Metatarsal!!!!
Bloody hell. What the hell with the foot injuries!!!!
It's got to be the flash new styles of boots, right?
Good day for you and Gooner, I'd say with Pool and now Chelski dropping valuable points.
Good Day
