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!
Ah, yes, it's Saturday once again and we've got a packed schedule on offer. I've got the new cable installed and FSC up and ready to go, so join me to celebrate the true meaning of Saturday morning - a good, strong cup of coffee, a tasty bagel and some good footer on the telly.

Spurs 2 Sunderland 2
WBA 0 Everton 0
Fulham 0 Arsenal 1
Wigan 0 Chelski 3
Citeh 2 West Ham 1
Pompey 0 United 1
My beloved Leeds United are currently drawing away at Yeovil in the second half 1-1. We took the lead through our new Italian forward Luciano Becchio, but just gave up a goal a few minutes into the second half.
Come on you Whites!
Good morning.
I am here.
Fingers crossed for your lot.
I did get your phone message again. I have been out a lot. Sister Debs has been here for about three weeks. They leave tomorro
Morning, Dave! I just tried to Skype you. Guess what - you didn't answer. (sigh)
Ten minutes left at Yeovil. I'm waiting for you to write it, Dave.
Sorry, my computer has been acting up. I just restarted the whole thing. Skype is off.
HERE YOU GO
IT'S LEEDS TIME!!!
Cheers, mate! We need the three points today to keep up with the high flyers.
BTW, don't blame my lot for your hopeless predictions!
Do you have your cable all sorted out?
Into added time at Huish Park
LEEDS TIME
My sister made me put my picture in my profile. I didn't realize it pops up every time
Berba not playing for Spurs.
Wendy says he isn't focused.
SEND HIM NORTH!!
Yeah, it's all sorted. I will blame your lot. I had them as easy winners at home to hopeless Newcastle and lost 20 points on that match alone!
Sorry mate, two more points dropped
I agree - Berba's done at Shite Fart Lane.
Yeah, it's still better than last season, when we were at -6 after three matches but I'm concerned about the form.
The Skyports Centre looks all new this season. I am hoping the audio of Soccer Saturday will work today
Warren Barton is hopeless.
Well, isn't he better than some Yanks
I suppose so. Here come Spurs vs. Sunderland. A tasty encounter.
You say this is going to be a 2-2 draw. Interesting
Yeah, I think Spurs and Sunderland have goals in them but are weak at the back. Good to see Aaron Lennon back in the fold.
Hello everybody .
I'm back . I like the new name Bob .
I could really do with Boro and Fulham wins today
Welcome, Tony. Good to have you back on board. I'm sure you're happy about Chelski's performance last week.
I'm sure you could. And a Wigan win tomorrow, eh?
Welcome Tony
BD, I explained your name change already
How are you following the footer Chelskilad?
I'll be watching some Blue Devil soccer next weekend.
Hey,
Blue Devil has added his picture.
What about you CL?
I must admit they looked good .
Certainly better than last season .
How come you guys get your pictures
on here .
And Dave , have you finished having
a go at me ?
Bristol Rovers have jumped out to a 2-0 lead over Hereford in Div. 1.
The Bloody Sky audio isn't working!!
It says it should
QPR have taken the lead against Doncaster
Charlton beat Reading 4-2 earlier
No goals in Prem
You can upload a picture by going to your profile and then clicking on Edit Profile and then scrolling down to the Add Picture section. Fairly easy if you've got a picture handy on your computer.
I'm not having a go at you. When did I?
You can get a picture by going to your profile
Gillette Soccer Saturday of course .
Though I am also watching the
Olympics on the Beeb .
Norwich have missed a penalty. They're 1-0 down at Cardiff.
I fell asleep last night watching the "Gold Medal" Olympic footie match between the Argies and Nigeria.
zzzzzzzzz
Forest are one up against Watford
I didn't bother
Tony,
have talked to Ed or Rod yet?
From lil sis
Unfortunately I have no pictures .
I haven't seen any of the football .
Brum are wining again
Super Kevin Phillips again!!
He really is a good Championship striker but can't quite make the jump to the Premiership.
Boro go close at Anfield as Andrew Taylor reacts to a loose ball and fires just over with a fierce left-foot strike.
Bent should have poked that one in.
Dave I told you to get Deb's to
call them .
I'll be back shortly . I have to
go to Mildenhall . Do you guys need
anything ?
Its seems like he doesn't want to try. Why did he leave WBA? They wanted to keep him
I'll have some Fish and Chips from Snushells
Two sausage rolls, please!
She says Heidi is away. You call Rod
Sorry about this Nocito banter Dahlgren. Back to the footer
Bolton's record signing Johan Elmander has been forced off through injury at Newcastle.
League leader Coventry are losing at home to Bristol City
Talk amongst yourselves.....
Did you enjoy my Steve van Klaren post? I thought it was hilarious. What a prawn!
I'll email them to you Dave .
They might be a bit soggy though
because Vinegar doesn't travel well
I saw that before
Make mine without vinegar. Never did like the stuff.
The Tractor Boys are losing at Portman Road to Wolves
You're nuts!! Drown it with vinegar!!
Cambridge, league leaders, are winning again
Watford have tied it up against Forest
Still NOTHING in the Prem
Mike sent it to me . He said they
were killing themselves on the radio
when I was first shown .
Why wasn't there anyone at the backpost!!!
Bale gets a yellow for his Olympic diving attempt
off to the loo
Stoke have taken the lead against Villa. Now I just need Villa to score three in the second half for my prediction to come right.
Villa are still complaining about that Stoke goal. Gabby Agbonlahor had a shout for a penalty but play went on and down the pitch and Stoke got a penalty! Liam Lawrence converting.
Leicester have moved into fourth spot in Div. 1 as they lead 1-0.
Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing cuts inside two defenders to open up space for a shot at Liverpool but slices his effort well wide. Boro are really giving it a go at Anfield.
I'm back
I guess I didn't miss much
Oh, Stoke are winning
Blackburn have scored
Hull have tied it up
Blackburn 1 Hull 0. Jason Roberts cashes in on poor defending to put Rovers in front.
That's torn it. I'd predicted 2-0.
How are Liverpool not scoring hat fulls of goals with Keane and Torres up front?
Half time
Not much happening all over the Prem
Keano sucks
Robbie Keane or Roy Keane?
Robbie!!
Seriously, he is pretty good but I don't think he was what Costa del Pool needed.
Second half is underway
Bale should have scored there.
That looked like United's marking from last week
Still nothing much happening in the Prem.
Last week, goals were flying in.
I think Robbie was overpriced but he's still a quality striker.
James Scowcroft of Crystal Palace is sent off at home to Burnley. It's currently 0-0 at Selhurst Park.
Spurs have been very disappointing
"Save at last"
Was that the first save of the match?
What a corker!!!!!
Of course an old Red Devil
What an idiot for taking off his shirt!!
Handball?
A corker yes, but what hopeless defending. Jermaine Jenas should concentrate on putting a tackle in rather than waving his hand in the air. Wendy won't be pleased.
Don't mention the JJ wanker.
He'll still be picked for England
Obafemi Martins misses a sitter for Newcastle at home to Bolton. The strikers really don't have their shooting boots today.
I know - he's rubbish!
1615: Michael Owen comes on for Newcastle as an injured Martins is replaced.
Tell that to Fab
Wee Mikey Owen has made a surprising appearance for Newcastle. Please don't blow on him as he'll do his knee again.
Crystal Palace are now down to nine men as Shaun Derry also sees red against Burnley.
Will they be banned for your League Cup game?
It's looking like another pathetic week for me with the predictions. I haven't got a single one right yet?
Coventry are two down
Let's hope so!
What a miss from Woody
It wasn't Woody, it was Bale
That should have been 1-1.
Why are two defenders there for a rebound? Where are the strikers?
Penalty for Bolton
Derby are losing again. This time to Sotton
Gooner will be laughing. Tottenham are second bottom now!
Bolton MISS the penalty
Your predictions don't look too good again mate!
Djibril Cisse's coming on for his Sunderland debut. How did Keano get him up there?
Villa have tied it up at Stoke
Carew for the Villa
I'm hopeless at this game. But the, who would predict an away win for Sunderland in this match? For that Hull would be level at Blackburn? Or that Hull would beat a Villa side that stuck three in last weekend? It's impossible!
Alright, Villa are mounting the challlenge. Carew has stuck in an equalizer. Now I need two more in the last twenty minutes.
More hopelessness from JJ.
I almost forgot - I did have one right. The Everton-WBA 0-0 draw. But that's torn too now as the Toffees have scored. (sigh)
Liverpool 0 Middlesbrough 1. A fantastic low left-foot strike from Mido beats Reina and finds the bottom corner. The visitors haven't won at Anfield in 24 visits.
You have your wish!
Jenas finally gets it right, poking home after his side has several bites at the cherry.
Spurs 1 Sunderland 1
Someone just came by.
I missed the goal.
Wow, Costa are losing!!
The Toon have scored. They're all flying in
Yes, Wee Mikey has nodded in for Newcastle. I'm getting one result right!
Lucky bounces of the ball for Spurs for their goal!
Hello !
I'm back from Mildenhall . Boy that
was fun ! Sorry guys but Snushalls
was shut .
Loving the score coming in from Spain... I mean Liverpool
Arturo Lupoli nets for Norwich so Cardiff's lead is reduced to 2-1.
I'll bet you are!
Everton are two up at the Hawthorns
The Yak has been fed again
Cisse scores on his debut.
Roy must be happy
More bad news. Oh dear, Cisse has put Sunderland back in the lead! Come on, now, Spurs. One more goal and I'd have the perfect result there.
Lupoli strikes again and suddenly Norwich are level at 2-2 with Cardiff.
Wow, Stoke have retaken the lead
Unbelievable!
Another ex Red coming on
United are dropping further and further down the table!!1
Bugger, Costa have equalized
Villa have done the same
One more from Gabby, please!
Boro defender Pogatetz with that Liverpool equalizer.
Carragher scores the late equalizer. A drive from outside the box is deflected.
West Brom get a penalty for a handball by Neville
Surely with no Berba today, he has to be gone
West Brom score the pen.
Sunderland get the win.
Well done Keano
Yeah, he'll be in red next weekend for sure. Rubbish result for Spurs and for me.
I need one more from the Baggies.
You were right
1650: GOAL CORRECTION
Apparently Liverpool's equaliser has been credited to Emmanuel Pogatetz.
Oh dear . Spurs lost . The landlord
down the pub will be gutted . It will
be all glum faces behind the bar
tonight .
Well, maybe Fulham will beat the Arse that will give him his smile back
Where have you been!!!
BLOODY HELL
COSTA HAVE SCORED THE WINNER!!!
Stoke have taken the lead as well
How lucky can Liverpool get !
Everton win
Blackburn and Hull draw
1654: GOAL Liverpool 2-1 Middlesbrough
Steven Gerrard steals victory for Liverpool. The ball breaks top him on the edge of the box and he smashes it into the top corner.
WHY DOESN'T HE DO IT FOR ENGLAND
Costa, the Toon and Stoke all get home wins!
Yes, that's another good result for me.
Rejoice, rejoice, Spurs are crap!!!
Dad and I have just finished up with the Spurs Sunderland game. Dad can't summon up the evil glee in Spurs' demise as I can, but I've got a black enough heart for both of us.
Good looking circa '70's Arsenal kit you have on there BDB!
Hey Gooner,
you're in England?
I agree, the picture does look like the Arsenal!
So, only two correct results out of six. I still have a chance to redeem myself with wins from Arsenal, Chelski and United later this weekend, though.
I have enjoyed your comments today .
Sorry I didn't contribute more but
I'm still in training for the new season . Talk to you all later .
Bloody Costa Del Pool.
How lucky was that equalizer!
My parents came back to the U.S. to see my graduation and have stuck around in the D.C. area for a couple of weeks to visit with family.
Sounds great.
We're off at the Cottage
Too much white on the Arsenal sleeve?
Stan Collimore seems to be on talksport now. He must have left the Beeb
Blimey, Fulham have gone in studs up so far. What did Danny Murphy have in his Weetabix this morning?
What do you think about Silvestre going to the Emirates?
How do teams sell to their big rivals? Don't they know all the team secrets that they can share?
Shocker...Fulham score!!
Arsenal caught napping at the corner. The Silvestre move is a good one for Arsenal. As you can see there, they need a wise old head in the back. How do you feel about it?
Sheva has left The Bridge for the San Siro
1832: Fulham have not defeated a London club in their last 15 attempts. Fact. Their last victory came in November 2006 - against Arsenal.
United on live in the Super Cup on Friday afternoon.
Lovely jubbley
We're off in the second half
I know where you'll be on Friday afternoon.
We better win on Monday because we will be too far behind in points and one less game played
Nice move by Fulham and the ex Hammer goes close
Theo coming off.
Boy, he hasn't taken off has he.
What a mistake Sven made taking him to Germany
Free kick chance for the Arse
Has to be RVP
Deflected off the wall for a corner
Useless by the Fulham, the same player looses it in midfield and runs back and fouls on the edge of the D
RVP...into the wall
Fulham are phafing about with it a lot!!
Adebayor does his Olympic dive impersonation
Into 4 minutes of stoppage time
Free kick chance again for RVP on the side of the pen... into the wall again
one more minute... goal kick for Fulham... he'll take 30 seconds plus to kick in
And it's all over... a shocker!!
Very surprised with Arsenal's performance!!
Had fun today even though the last bit was apparently alone.
Take care.
Dave
Sorry I had to deal with some deliveries there and left you hanging at the end. Good result for you lot. Bad one for the Gooner and for my wretched predictions.
Good chatting with you, mate.
