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!

Leeds kicked off at 7 a.m. this morning and unfortunately we're one down at Hartlepool.
Villa are one up at Chelski - a much more satisfying score.
Spurs and Fulham are deadlocked at 0-0. It would be nice to see Fulham get a win today. They really need it.
The Happy Hammers are also at 0-0 with Reading.
I am here. I walked in the door after taking my brother-in-law to the train station as Villa scored.
Happy Boxing Day!
Spurs take the lead
Reading down to ten men at Upton Park
Morning, Dave! Happy Boxing Day to you!
Are you still in DC without FSC?
It's down to the last fifteen minutes in the Hartlepool vs. Leeds game. It's Leeds time once again!
Close to being Leeds time!!!
Yeah, I'm here through the 2nd of January. Gooner's working today but we have plans to catch the Arsenal match at the Lucky Bar this afternoon.
Great minds think alike
So, he doesn't go to Summers anymore. I have such great memories of that place
Tore Andre Flo has come on for us - he's scored some late ones for us recently.
Villa are really taking to Chelsea. They have had much the better chances. Lampard has had to go off injured and has been replaced by Bollocks. He has already thrown an elbow and got away with it.
It changed management and isn't as footie friendly anymore, unfortunately. We were in there for England vs. Israel in the spring and they wouldn't even turn down the music in the bar so we could hear the commentary!
What a bummer!!!
From 365: "Chelsea just kind find any rhythm to their game and the performance from Shevchenko up front has been quite simply dreadful."
Five minutes left - we need a goal!
Sheva seemed to be improving recently but still is a big drop from where he was. He has started taking all their free-kicks from outside the box. He has argued with teammates and demanded to take it!
Come on THOMPSON!!!
Come on Villa. Hold on til half
The Hammers have taken the lead
Nobby with the goal
Well done!
VILLA HAVE SCORED AGAIN.
A HOWLER BY CECH!!!
Maloney takes shot low on the ground right into Cech and it just bounces off his body and into the net.
LOVELY JUBBLEY
AND LEEDS HAVE SCORED
Beckford in the 90th
GOAL! Beckford in the 90th minute - we're top of the league!
LEEDS TIME
They never give up
What on earth is going on with Petr Cech these days?
From the Beeb
1345: GOAL Chelsea 0-2 Aston Villa
Shaun Maloney puts Villa even further ahead but this goal is all about Petr Cech, who gifts the visiting team a late Christmas present by failing to stop a firm but hardly thunderous shot. The ball bounces in front of the Czech Republic keeper, who makes a horrible mess of what should be a simple save.
BUGGER
Penalty for Chelsea. They shouldn't have been given the chance.
Zach Knight wih a RED.
Everything just changes in a flash!!!
Spurs score a second at half time.
30 secs before half time when the pen was given. We are in the 49th min and Sheva puts it away.
BUGGER
And Sheva slots home the penalty - it's 1-2.
Last bloody kick of the half
Spurs have scored a second - Huddlestone with a low drive into the corner.
Full time at Hartlepool and we've squeaked out another late point. We'd be on 52 points without the points deduction!
Top of the league but two points dropped?
Second half begins at Stamford Bridge.
I feel it will all Chelsea.
What a shame. Villa have dominated
Sheva has already scored
A thunderbolt.
BLOODY CHELSEA
I can see Chelsea scoring five here
Bad news.
Swansea have scored against Cheltenham

Reading have tied it up at Upton Park.
Fulham have a goal at WHL
After Dempsey scores, Spurs score again
Villa have started to have some possession.
Chelski score again.
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
Set up by Sheva scored by Alex
Spurs with a fourth.
Keane with two, Huddlestone with two
YES!!!!
Villa have scored the equalizer
I will repeat the commentators comments.
A BOXING DAY CRACKER!!!
Carvalho is off!!!!
A nasty two footed tackle at the half way line!!
Ten v Ten
Who are Chelsea going to play in the center back position for the next three games.
I guess Ben Heim and Alex.
Sheva is being substituted. He looks like he is limping. He has played well. He should have played in a teammate instead of going for his hat-trick when the score was 3-2
Team news that I care about
Man Utd defender Rio Ferdinand returns from injury, while John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Nani and Louis Saha also got the nod. But Ryan Giggs, Anderson and Danny Simpson are rested, while Carlos Tevez and Patrice Evra are on the bench, alongside fit-again Park Ji-Sung .
Hope Sir Alex knows what he is doing
Four minutes to go and Chelski have a free kick inside the D
The Swans have won
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
BOLLOCKS WITH THE FREE KICK
Spurs score a fifth through Defoe
Villa get a penalty!!!!!
Saved off the line by Cole but the linesman calls it a handball.
Red Card for Cole???
YES!!!!
Come on Villa...
Come on Barry....YES!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A BOXING DAY CRACKER!!!!!!!
4-4 and three red cards!!!
Wow, I went back to bed and missed six goals in the Chelsea vs. Villa - what a cracker!
That's it at Stamford Bridge.
Eight Goals

My mistake earlier. I had said that Swansea had won 2-0. I guess I was wrong. It is now 4-0

So, United stroll to a easy win.
Liverpool squeak by and Chelsea drop two points.
