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!
I'm up early, looking forward to an overflowing day of footie. First up - Carlisle hosting Leeds in a top of the table Division 1 match. Then it's the Northeast derby and on to the regularly scheduled matches. FSC are showing the Hammers followed by the Gunners. Should be a good one today. Hope to find you here.

Fifteen minutes in and we're still at 0-0 with Carlisle. I'd definitely take a draw today with a side currently second.
The stream for Sunderland vs. Middlesboro is up and looking crisp and clear. Lovely jubbly!
YESSS!!!!!
Our Argie wonderboy Luciano Becchio has stuck one in and we're leading 0-1.
Leeds have reached half-time 0-1 in the lead. Same again in the second half please.
Into the second half at Carlisle now...
That Becchio goal is still the only one to have hit the back of the net on a very quiet day in British footie so far.
Half-time at the Riverside and it's a very ponderous 0-0 so far. That would have been my prediction for this match but I didn't get it in in time.
Sixty minutes in and Leeds are still 0-1 up. Thirty minutes away from a great victory.
Fantastic! I've got Soccer Saturday up and running.
Inside the last fifteen minutes at Carlisle. Hang in there, you Whites!
Still 0-0 at the Stadium of Light. Good thing I've tuned in to SS rather than watching the match.
Ten minutes left and Leeds are a bit under the cosh now with Carlisle piling the pressure on to get the equalizer. We could really use a Beckford breakwaway goal right about now to ease the tension.
Come on, you Whites!
Five minutes left...
YESSS!!!! 0-2 Leeds! Beckford's stuck in just the kind of break-away goal that I was calling for a few minutes and that should wrap up three very valuable points. We'll go second at least temporarily.
That's Jermaine's seventh in the league and eleventh in total this season. Marvelous!
Full-time at Carlisle and it's a great 0-2 win for the mighty LUFC.
Still 0-0 in the Northeast derby.
Dear oh dear. Sunderland just conceded a penalty. Stewart Downing took the penalty, straight down the middle and over the bar. A terrible miss. I hope that Don Fabio was in the stands watching.
And Sunderland have turned it around, Michael Chopra sticking one in as a super sub. Sunderland 1 Boro 0.
Roy Keane is a happy chappy now. It's 2-0 Sunderland and it's Michael Chopra once again.
Sunderland have won their match and move up into the top half of the league.
Absolutely marvelous coverage this morning. I've just had Soccer Saturday on for the last hour as they've been previewing the weekend's matches. Now I'm going to pop on the Liverpool-Stoke while I'm watching the Hammers on FSC. Wow!
Kickoff time at Anfield and Rafa has asked that "You'll Never Walk Alone" is played and sung right up to kick-off. Marvelous stream, crisp and clear. Thank you, Dave!
FSC are just about to start the West Ham-Newcastle.
Etherington has an early chance for the Hammers.
Interesting wrinkle to the West Ham match. The Hammers are wearing shirts with the sponsors name blanked out as they've gone out of business this week. So who were their sponsors? Will ManYoo have to do the same thing with AIG? Or will the shirts just say "American Taxpayers?" Moreover, since I now own a small bit of ManYoo, can I arrange a transfer for Carlos Tevez to Leeds? It's a new world, chaps.
It's all Liverpool so far at Anfield but Stoke seem to be trying to play some football, which they'll no doubt regret with Keane and Torres bombing at them.
A really jammy goal for West Ham's new Italian DiMichaeli. It's 1-0 Hammers and more misery for Newcastle.
Liverpool have had an early strike disallowed for offside; a close thing there.
The table looks very interesting now. Don't take a look today, Dave. Since ManYoo don't play until tomorrow and have only played three so far, they've dropped to 17th. If results go certain ways, they could be in the relegation zone for the first time I can remember since the 70s.
West Ham now up to 5th!
Fluid stuff from Liverpool so far but no finishing product.
Newcastle are shocking. Let me get this straight. Under King Kev they had four points from two games and were in fifth. After he walked out they've got nil points from the last three and are now second bottom. Does any of this make sense to anyone else?
Damien Duff appeals for a penalty as the ball comes off Scott Parker's arm but I think the ref was right not to give it.
DiMichaeli was nearly in there again for a second. Where are you, Trev?
Bugger! Oldham have scored to extend their lead at the top of Division 1.
Hey, I am here. Jon won his game and he scored a hat-trick. I have the Liverpool game on and Soccer Saturday. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Well done with Leeds!!!
West Ham are in dreamland as DiMichaeli scores his second of the match. Shocking defending again from Newcastle.
Apparently West Ham's shirt sponsors were XL Holidays, who went belly-up thus week. Extraordinary economic conditions these days. I haven't got the nerve to even look at my IRA.
I agree about the defending.
I don't know what to keep my eyes on!! I have three things going at once.
Welcome, Dave. It's been unbelievable coverage this morning. I haven't been frozen out of anything. I started with Soccer AM, then the Northeast derby for the first half, then SS and now one match on FSC and another on the laptop. It's better than being in Blighty!
Do you think that ManYoo will have to cover the AIG logo tomorrow like West Ham have done today?
Oldham are two up
I have FSC on my TV, I have SS in one window and Costa Del Pool on another.
IT IS BRILLIANT!!!!
I can only be concerned about Leeds winning. Thanks for the congratulations. Apparently I'm going to be able to see their Johnstone's Paint Trophy match on Wednesday against Rotherham. It'll be the first live match I've seen them in since December of last year!
Half time at Anfield and Stoke have frustrated the Reds so far. Will it last?
I'm muting FSC during half time to listen to the Setanta chatter.
When I look at that Stevie G. free kick that went straight in I have to admit that there was at least one Liverpool player in an offside position, maybe two. I don't buy the "active" vs. "passive" bollocks so I'd say the ref was spot on there.
Liverpool are back out on the pitch at Anfield and the second half is about to start.
I have the tv muted and are listening to both windows
Of course, I am watching the Ryder Cup as well
Hartlepool have got a goal back against Oldham
Make that 2-2
Brum are losing at home to Blackpool
I am loving SS
You are a madman! All the footie is doing my head in - let alone trying to keep up with the golf!
Well done to Jonathan, btw. When is Tom's match?
Tom's game is at 1:30
Reading has scored at Watford
Nearly there for Robbie Keane.
Merson was commentating the Costa game and the Setanta feed is two seconds behind SS
Did you know that Leeds was an early kick off? You didn't say anything this morning
Wee Mikey should have done better with that chance. Newcastle haven't had many today.
Oh dear, and it's 3-0 West Ham now and Zola is loving it!
West Ham with three!!!
What was your prediction
Oldham are now losing!!
Where is Leeds in the table?
Again the marking was criminal at the back post with Etherington ghosting in alone. He could have had a cup of tea and still scored.
We're still second. They started on 16 and are now 16 again. We're on 14 points. Still, it would be brilliant for them to lose this one to Hartlepool. And we've got Leicester drawing and Scunthorpe losing too.
I had West Ham winning 3-1. Maybe Mikey can pop in a consolation goal for me.
I would love it if Costa drop some points!! They won't of course. They are winning when not playing well!!
Have you got Costa and SS on?
Good day for you so far!
Just Liverpool and West Ham on FSC. I can't handle any more than that. I'll pop SS back on during the break rather than listening to Warren Barton blather on.
Uh oh, Oldham have tied it up!!
Jeff Stelling must be a Hartlepool fan.
He is cheering or booing every time there is a goal
You're a wimp... SS is best with all the updates
Scunthorpe are leading
I think Stelling is a Hammers fan.
We've dropped to third with that Scunthorpe goal. It's alright.
How did Torres not score there!?
How did Torres miss that one?
Come on Stoke!! Don't do a Boro
I just sent you an email of my computer screen
On comes jammy Babs
Ryan Babbel now on. I've got Liverpool winning this one so I need a goal.
Wee Mikey gets the goal you want!!
I think I am the one that said 3-1
YESSS! Wee Mikey bends in a super strike and it's 3-1 - my result! I'm 30 points up today!
Newcastle need to stop playing now, thankyouverymuch.
Newcastle look like their going to blow it for you and score again
Did you get my email
West Ham need to pull their fingers out here. They're letting the Magpies back into this match.
Liverpool do too. Keane's come off to chants from Stoke fans of "what a waste of money!"
I don't understand why Keano comes off when they need a goal!
That's why he came off!
I just looked at your message. I can't handle that action. My laptop nearly crashed just downloading your screenshot.
Stoke have a chance to win it here with a tasty free kick. Build the wall!
Another big chance for Torres goes begging. Who stole his shooting boots today?
Blackburn have scored late
That's good for you
I KNOW Costa are going to score!!
Leicester have taken the lead
WHere are United in the table right now
Great result for me. That's another ten points. Now I need one late scorcher from Stevie G.
COME ON STOKE!!!
NO!!!
You don't want to know. Last time I checked you were 17th and level on points with the relegation battlers Newcastle.
3 minutes of added time
Reading score a late equalizing Pen at Vicarage Road
Just under 2 to go at Anfield.
COME ON
Over the top by Stevie, YES!!
Boa Morte is on the take from you.
What a miss!!
Boa Morte nearly ruined my result there but good on him he missed an absolute sitter. Blow up, ref!
Check's in the mail, Luis!
THAT'S IT AT ANFIELD!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Hammers
Bugger! Well, the Liverpool and Blackburn results are a wash for me so I'm still 30 points up from the Hammers result. Now I need a big win from the Arse.
I'm back on the SS feed now. Marvelous. Chris Kamara is having an orgasm over his match. Luv it!
I am in HEAVEN!!!
Me too - when was the last time you heard that guy read out the results?
Setanta has Jose and Wayne on
Setanta has changed to Blackburn and Fulham. I now only have SS.
I am off to Tom's game soon
Good luck to Tom!
Bolton vs. Arsenal about to start now. I'm looking for a big win from the Gunners.
Bolton have scored!! I got the controls from the boys, turned it over and they score.
Bang goes your prediction
Bloody hell! Bolton have taken the lead and of course it's from a corner. That's defending 101. Each of the center backs needs to take a striker. Instead it was Adebayor left to challenge Kevin Davies from the corner by default because no one else had picked him up!
I am leaving in about 20 minutes. I am watching Sky coverage of the golf and SS.
Have I said that I am amazed by this website yet?
It can't last. It must all be illegal
Yeah, it's got to be pirate telly. I don't know how long it will last. I keep hearing from people who have used it for years, though. And I always ask them why they hadn't mentioned it before.
Adebayor against the post!
Danny Shittu - he was on my funny name list.
The post again!
GOAL! Eboue equalizes and it had to come really. Bolton were defending desperately there. Was Eboue offside? It looked like it. He should have left it for Ade but the linesman let it go.
Arsenal 2-0! They're slicing Bolton apart. That was a delicious move finished off by Bendtner. It's almost as if the Bolton goal pissed them off and they're venting their anger.
I come back and there go the Arse score two in quick time!!1
You said earlier about hearing the guy reading the score.
Well, when you listen to the BBC you can hear James Alexander Gordon.
I am reading Fever Pitch again with my buddies and he says about listening to his transistor radio at Highbury listening to James Alexander Gordon. IT WAS IN 1968!!!
HOW OLD IS THIS GUY!!!!
The guy on Sky sounds like James Alexander Gordon.
He's 72 according to Wikipedia, btw.
Hello Chaps!
Obviously I'm delighted at putting three by Megson's louts, but seeing Clichy sent to the hospital after a trip up North is getting to be a habit I wish we could break.
I just hope this victory's not Pyrrhic.
