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!
Blimey, that was quick! The Champions League has rolled around again and Gameday 2 starts today with half of the groups in action. I'll be paying particular attention to see if Arsenal can bounce back from the weekend defeat in their clash with Porto.

Unfortunately I've got to pop out to a function at 3 p.m. so I'll be back at half-time. I'm on the Arsenal feed and looking forward to it. Good luck to Arsenal and United today!
So, I am home and United are winning one nil on the TV.
Arsenal are two up on a great feed.
Half time at both games.
United really need to do better and get some goals.
Setanta are showing highlights of their game at the Emirates.
Arsenal were lucky to survive before they got two goals.
Juve were two down but tie it up against Bate
Bayern losing at home to Lyon
Hi Dave! I'm back from my meeting and it looks like everything's coming up roses for the English sides today. Fantastic!
How was Rooney's goal?
Looks like it.
United are on ESPN and they should have had a hatfull. Berba missed an early volley.
Scholes went off on a stretcher after being kicked on the knee.
Real Madrid have scored an impressive 2-1 away win at Zenit St. Petersburg.
Porto are making a couple of changes at half-time to try to get back into this match.
Great pass by Giggs and he just slotted it past the keeper straight through the middle.
Have you got the Setanta feed for the Arse game. I chose the Veetle link.
Very clear
Arsenal have already started. United still in the dressing room
It'll also do Arsenal's first string strikers a power of good to both get on the scoresheet today.
United's game is on again
GOAL! Van Persie notches his second goal after some sloppy defensive work and Arsenal are home and dry at 3-0.
RVP gets a nice goal... second of the night. It is all over
Have I told you that I LOVE this site!!!
I like the other one I sent you as well
United are doing all the attacking but still seem to be laboring.
Celtic are still at 0-0 with Villareal, which seems to me a fairly serviceable scoreline for them. A good away draw if they can keep a clean sheet.
Loving it. I just started exploring with the site you sent me last night but this one is golden.
Nearly 4-0 there with Walcott hitting a screamer.
Berba was just useless there.
He could have passed it to Roon or Ron but decided to pass to the other team
How did Walcott miss that
Berba looks like he is in his sulking mood. He needs a goal
Bugger! Bloody Kieran Dyer has scored for Leicester, which takes them to top spot in Division 1 and knocks Leeds down to 4th spot.
Raphael DeSilva looks pretty good for United. Of course, he just got kicked and is being taken off the field. Hopefully he will be back
Arsenal are absolutely ripping these mugs apart. How can they bottle it against a second-rate side like Hull on the weekend and then go on a tear on the Tuesday. Do they have something against Saturdays?
When and who do Leeds play
He's the guy I keep mistaking for Carlos Tevez. Looks like a good find. He's Mexican, right?
Another great move by the Arse through Walcott should have been finished by Nasri for a fourth.
The ref books the keeper for not placing the ball down in the correct place for a goal kick!
I'm really enjoying this Blue Devil icon - it makes me look hardcore!
YES!!!!
Terrible mistake and Berba volleys in.
Not much celebrations but there is a smile!!
Who's the referee in that match?
Well done - 2-0!
Well, everything looks butch after your kitty phase!
Bayern have equalized against Lyon through Ze Roberto.
Meow!
Rafael is back on BTW
The Porto keeper looks quite a lot like Zamfir - master of the pan flute!
Is Dracula still sulking or has the goal lifted his spirits?
Now Rooney is down after not being touched. Is it his foot again. Please no
He has been replaced by Tevez. Rooney straight down the tunnel
I have no idea who the ref is
I can't believe that BATE Borisov is still hanging on to a 2-2 draw with Juve. What a result for them!
Did Roon at least get a cuddle from Fergie?
Nani chips the keeper but saved
Tevez bumbles the ball in but called back for a handball
Another great move but Adebayor got his volley all wrong. He looked a bit Crouch-like there.
Porto have brought on a fellow named "Hulk." I kid you not. The Emirates crowd are having a good laugh too. They won't be if he starts turning green and ripping the place apart.
Yes, he did but then he kicked him down the stairs
Eboue is coming on for Sami Nasri, who was excellent today.
I saw it. I have both matches on
Good thing too. Shrek needs a good kicking now and again.
Adebayor should have scored there after the keeper spilled Fab's shot.
Now Rafael has asked to come off.
Three substitutions for three injuries.
Aren't you flash with your multiple matches on? I suppose you've also got some snooker or darts on in another screen. I can't keep up with you in the office.
Great passing by United but Giggs sent a little to wide
I have a TV and a computer!!!!
Villareal have taken the lead against Celtic
le Orange replaces Rafael.
The ESPN commentators said that he was the star of the show
A silly challenge by a Porto defender on the edge of the box on Bendtner and it's a penalty!
Pen to the Arse
Shame about the Jocks.
Adebayor to take and he slots home easily...
4-0!
Does it strike you that Arsenal only have two ways to play? It's either Champagne footie like tonight or they stink it up.
Vela has come on.
Vela on for the Arse
As the old adage goes, real champions no how to win ugly. Arsenal don't.
Long may lose the Champagne
A fabulous Ricky Villa type run by Vela there. Sensational run. Almost finished by Bendtner. And Arsene seems to be enjoying himself and why not.
Nasty late challenge by Clichy and he'll go into the book there.
Tevez should have buried it after a great run but lays it of for Ronaldo and he misses
Do you know who the AaB manager is?
Yikes
an update on Paul Scholes: he has knee ligament damage.
AaB go close with a header.
Come on United. I am still not impressed. I haven't been ALL SEASON!
Tevez goes close with a shot.
When he gets the ball he goes to goal!
Since they're a Danish club, I'm tempted to say Henri Bergsson, of course.
But I think it's one of the Laudrup brothers, right?
Shame about Scholesey.
YES!!!
Berba with #2.
Nice goal.
Fergie looks unimpressed.
As for the manager, he is an ex Prem manager. He used to manage one of the big four
Silly yellow card for Costa there. What was he playing at. If anything he was slowing play down! Is he worried about giving up a fifth goal?
No cheating
What's up with Fergie? Did he miss out on the Pick 'n Mix this week?
Is it Gerrard Houllier?
Nope,
he was replaced by the manager that is still there.
How about the Tinkerman - Claudio Ranieri? It's got to be an ex-Liverpool or ex-Chelski bloke.
How on earth did Adebayor miss his hat-trick there. Bendtner laid it on a plate for him.
Nope... he is British
Ron put through one on one by Berba. Hits the side netting
2129: Very entertaining listening to the commentators trying to say Hulk with a straight face
Is it Glenda? I can't imagine that.
Nope... Scottish.
Well done Arsenal. As the commentator said, could have been EIGHT
Same could be said in Denmark
Apparently you have given up
Celtic have lost to Villareal
All over in Denmark
United coast 3-0 but also picked up three injuries.
Sir Alex shakes hands with his fellow Scot..... ex Gooner manager... Bruce Rioch.
Off to college
I'll be around tomorrow.
Cheers
UWS
No, I just was interrupted by someone at my door.
Last guess - Kenny Dalglish?
Bruce Rioch? I would have never got that one. I was just thinking of Chelsea and Liverpool since Fergie and Arsene are the two longest serving managers in the Prem.
Cheerio, mate. Nice chatting with you. I should be around tomorrow for the matches. Talk to you then.
