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!
With all of my travels recently, it's been a couple of weeks since I've been able to relax and watch my footer on a Saturday morning here in Gator Central Command, so I'm particularly relishing the prospect of several good games today.

Blimey, I've just woken up and Leeds are already three nil up on Huddersfield. Tasty!
Oh, Pompey are leading Villa 2-0 away at the half. That would be a terrific win for them.
Wow, now it is FOUR!!!!!
Lovely Jubbley
I have basketball with the kids today so I will have to leave during the first half. Hopefully my United will be doing as well as yours!!!
Pompey are now three nil up
We're up into third now!
Meanwhile FSC are showing the canned preview of that match. Nice one, lads!
Well done!!
Thank you, Mikel Alonso for debunking the myth that English footballers aren't technically good enough. What a bunch of tosh!
Villa have pulled one back against Pompey.
All over at Villa Park. Another impressive away win for Pompey. People say that Fraton Park is a fortress but they have dropped points at home to United, Liverpool, West Ham,Citeh and Everton.
They have won on the road at Blackburn, Fulham, Wigan, Newcastle and Villa.
I am off to BB, read you later
Cheers, mate. Chelski vs. Sunderland about to start. An intriguing match up. Sunderland are pants but Chelski are missing Drogba.
Chelski start with a 4-3-3 with SWP, Kalou and Sheva up front. And they've started brightly, SWP fizzing an early shot wide.
And Chelski should really be a couple up already, Kalou nodding one off the bar. They've had three corners already in five minutes.
Should've been a penalty there for Chelski, SWP pushed down in the box. Sunderland living dangerously here.
I had a feeling that Birmingham might put some pressure on Newcastle today and I was right. They're 1-0 at St James's and the Toon Army will be chanting "Sam Out!" at the end of this match if it stays the same.
That's Cameron James with Brum's goal - he seems a decent Premiership level striker.
The commentators are big upping Kenwyn Jones but the Sunderland man hasn't had a sniff yet.
John Terry running a bit gingerly after a nasty challenge from a Sunderland defender.
GOAL! And it's Sheva. I can't believe that I've actually witnessed a goal by the Ukrainian. To be honest, I could have scored that header after it was neatly chipped up for him by Kalou. It's Sheva's fourth of the season in all competitions.
United with the one-two punch right before half time and they're 2-0 up at the half. Derby are pants. I expect a cricket score in the second half.
Obafemi Martin's has equalized from the penalty spot for Newcastle to save Allardyce's fat arse once again.
Second half starting and the weather in London looks appalling.
Yakubu has put Everton 1-0 up over the hapless Fulham.
This second half has been a crushing bore and the crowd is getting a bit antsy. Sounds like there's a wave going on round the ground.
Tevez has scored another for United and they're now 3-0 up over Derby.
Yakubu has added a second goal against Fulham.
Kalou has come off for Claudio Pizarro. And the much vaunted Kenwyn Jones has been pulled off. He's looked the only spark for Sunderland today so it's a mystery move from Keano.
Alex has won a penalty for Chelski, dragged down by Danny Higginbotham.
Lamps to take and he pounds it home - 2-0 Chelski.
Bloody hell, United have allowed Derby to score at Old Trafford. That's not what I was expecting to see.
And Yakubu has got his hat-trick. 3-0 Everton!
Sidwell coming on to replace Joe Cole.
And Sunderland's Liam Miller gets himself sent off for a silly push after Pizarro gives him a bit of a stamp that the ref missed. That's polished off a miserable rainy afternoon for Roy Keane.
Chelski end up at 2-0 and could have had more if they'd broken sweat. They're a fairly dour side under Avram Grant, who looks the part of an undertaker.
And it's another weekend when a refereeing decision has changed the complexion of a big match.
The contact from Jamie Carragher was clearly outside the box but the ref has blown up for a penalty and Stephen Hunt has stuck it away. Liverpool against it now at 1-0 down.
Stevie G. with a classy strike for the equalizer.
It's a rare Harry Kewell sighting. He's obviously off the endangered species list at the moment.
And Reading have scored again! Liverpool should have probably had three penalties in this match and should be home and dry. Now they're in the position of losing it.
Oh my! It's 3-1 Reading! Liverpool are being torn apart now.
What on earth is Alan Green going to say about this on 606 tonight?!
It's a big loss for Pool ahead of crucial matches against Marseilles in the Champs League and United next weekend.
Great job as usual Bob.
Sorry I wasn't around.
Glad to see United win and Costa del Pool lose!!
Come on BORO!!!
