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 getting to the action a wee bit late this afternoon, but I've got United up on ESPN and the Arsenal on Veetle, so I'm golden. All square in both matches so far....so join me if you're about.

Looks like Arsene has gone with the youth policy today with Fab, Song and Ramsey anchoring the midfield.
Ronaldo took a nasty one on the ankles there and then got up and rattled a free kick into the keeper's arms.
In other groups, Lyon are two nil up away to Fiorentina.
Real are one nil up at BATE.
And of course Leeds are one nil down to Northhampton already. Typical. They are our bogey team.
Bit of a scramble in the box there for Villareal.
Macari's criticizing Arsenal for playing it too slowly through the midfield and being too narrow.
With Oldham losing right now, we're still in sixth.
Nice sharp shot from RVP but the keeper parried it around for a corner.
Porto have scored two quick goal in Istanbul over Fenerbahce. That's not good news for the Arse.
Big mistake there from Gallas and the forward knocked an acute shot against the post and out. Lucky miss there.
Free kick here for Arsenal...
RVP smacked a shot in and it's just kneed over by Silvestre.
Yet another free kick opportunity earned by Ronaldo the hard way. He's spent more time on the floor tonight than the carpet.
Ron lining it up...hit sweetly but pawed around by Diego Luna.
Oldham have equalized, which dumps us out of the playoff spots and into 7th. We need a couple of goals but quick.
Half time at Old Trafford - 0-0.
One minute left in the Arsenal-Kiev...
GOAL!...no it's been called back for offside on Gallas. Shame. That would have been a redeemer for Gallas.
Half-time: 0-0
Three bookings in the first half for the Leeds boys - not a good sign.
Hi, I have just got home from work
BTW, United's game is in Spain not OT
Just brought up the Arsenal link
Avram has already put me to sleep.
Second half starting with one change for Villareal. Marcos Senna has picked up a knock.
Welcome, Dave! Sorry about the error. You're sharp as ever.
I don't even know who is in United's team today
Avram Grant - worst pundit ever. I've seen more life in a corpse.
It looks pretty close to Saturday's side with Rooney and Ronaldo up front, no Berba. Anderson is anchoring the midfield, O'Shea's playing in midfield as well.
Good luck to your lot in the second half. Same to you Steve
If anything Villareal have had the better chances.
Cheers, mate. We need it. Come on you Whites!
I did see the Ronny shot pushed against the bar
Good shot there from Ron and then Rooney looked as if he'd been hacked down down. No, he stumbled and the Defender wants a card for that.
I hate players asking for a card for Rooney. He should be carded for that. It is not their business.
How is Gallas doing?
Another good chance for the Arse. RVP hits one right at the keeper and then Ramsey knocks one over the bar.
Now Ron gets carded. Shut up Ron, walk away
Gallas had one big clanger with a poor backpass that a forward latched onto and hit against the post. But at the end of the half he knocked one in that was called back for offside. Typical day at the office then.
Who is the terrorist on the Arsenal bench?
The congestion at the top of Div. 1 means that a win for us today would launch us five places from 7th to 2nd!
I have not been impressed with United's displays all season. They still have wowed me! When are we going to turn it on
Dunno, I didn't see him?
Celtic have taken the lead!!!
Well done
Fiorentina have got one back against Lyon.
Well done the Jocks.
The friend that gave me the website uses the Sopcast website. You can watch replays of games.
Shame it doesn't work with the Mac.
Fletcher should have done better
Kiev are pouring it on right now. Arsenal need to pull their fingers out. They are the home side after all.
Bendtner seems to be coming on soon for Vela. Might see Wilshere and Jay Simpson too - they're up stretching.
Bayern have taken the lead
Arsenal are really struggling... I think they will get something at the Bridge on Sunday
I think Ron was yelling at his teammates there
Way hay - Scunthorpe are losing to Tranmere. They've hit a patch of poor form.
That would be helpful. I hate Chelski. Sorry, Tone.
Two nil to Bayern
I hate Chelksi too and I am not sorry bruv
Villareal go close after an absolutely atrocious header from Ron
That was a close thing for Villareal. Both English sides struggling here.
Here comes an old United nemesis... Pires
That was a good chance for Rooney but he blasted it at the keeper.
What's your feeling about Ronaldo's mood - does he want out of OT?
He's doesn't seem a happy chappy. I think he might
I haven't thought much of Giuseppe Rossi tonight. Italy can have him.
How would a draw work with Arsenal? Are they still going to qualify?
Fener gets a goal back against Porto
Okay... IT IS LEEDS TIME!!!!!
That was a hopeless ball out of the back from the United lad playing right back.
I think they would need to get a result against Porto in Portugal. Not good.
They better get their finger out
MK Dons have just taken the lead
Stockport are now two up
Tevez about to come on. He better play better than at Villa Park
I agree - we need a goal. Cheers.
Bendtner on for Ramsey.
Did you see that acting job for Kiev guy? He should be fined!
Nice move by United but collected by the keeper
Bayern are three up
Tevez still not on
Bayern are suddenly 3-0 up, a brace for Klose.
I missed it but I can only imagine.
I am becoming a big fan of Carrick. He has been impressive all season and for England
They showed the guy in slow motion writhing on the ground and then the ball came near and he jumped up and sprinted!!
AND LEEDS HAVE SCORED!! BECKFORD
Celtic have been pegged back
Leicester are two one up now
Aalborg have equalized against Celtic. Caca scoring, not Kaka but Caca.
YESSSS!!!!!
Where is your YESSS for the Beckford goal!
Thank you
Rossi off for Villa
Rossi coming off - he's been rubbish tonight.
Looks like we're going to get another look at the whiz kid Jack Wilshere.
When is the last time United have been in two scoreless draws in a row!
Rooney goes close!
Almunia saves the Arse
Still no Tev... Gibson on for Fletcher
Tev could be gone. He must be in Fergie's dog house
Red card for Capedevilla! Deserved?
Villareal down to ten men. I don't think that was a red
Scunthorpe are two down
Keep your head Ron.
They will be after you now
Park on. Still no Tevez
I think you're right - he'll be for the off in January.
Nasty gash for Ron
Park on for Nani
What is the mystery with Tev. He was on the sideline!!
We've leapfrogged Scunthorpe and Oldham into fifth place now. Another goal, please!
Finally Carrick is coming off for Tev.
Finally Tev comes on for Carrick. Strange move.
Arsenal either need a winner or an equalizing goal for Fener in Istanbul.
GOAL! And it's supersub Bendtner who will get a fine for whipping off his shirt. But he doesn't care. Great finish at the near post.
Arse 1-0!
I go to the loo for two seconds and the Arse take the lead and Celtic fall behind
Into stoppage time in Spain
Peterboro are two one down
Kiev down to ten men
It is now REAL LEEDS TIME!!!
Marvelous. Swindon have stuck another in against Peterboro and we're up into fourth where we should be.
Minute and half to go in Spain
One more big push from United and we'll have the winner. I can feel it now.
Come on United, score the winner and win the group!
I don't see it. United haven't got it this season
It is over.
Two nil nils in a row for United
UH OH!!!!
Northampton 2 Leeds 1
87th minute
Bugger! Another smash and grab by Northhants. We're 2-1 down. Scored by some bloke named Bignall. Typical.
Oldham have taken the lead. Not a good two minutes for the Whites
Full time: 0-0 Disappointing for you, but you've already qualified. No harm, eh?
The Arse get the win
All over at the Emirates. A valuable win there for the Arse. Redemption for Bendtner too.
Oldham have stuck in a winner and we've dropped again to 7th. What a yo-yo day for us.
Millwall take a late lead and Peterboro get an equalizer!!
YIKES!
Not good.
Leeds TIME!!
Celtic lose
Dons are three up
Full-time - and we've lost to another late winner. We've got to sort out the mid-week form. It's been horrendous.
Over at Northampton.
Sorry mate, They really need to stop playing midweek games!!
I've got to run. I don't know if I'll be around or not tomorrow. Might be walking of the beach again. Ta ra!
I am off to the college
Take care. I will be around tomorrow.
Hope to see you there, if not have a great Thanksgiving
Hi Lads,
I stayed away from the blow-by-blow here because I'm taping the ESPN game for when I get home.
I watched the Setanta feed of the Arsenal game but as usual, my clients kept me hopping on and off the feed.
My impression is that we looked a bit better than we did against Villa and Citeh. I saw that Galloise managed to clear a ball off Kiev's line to prevent us scoring. No let up for him.
Happy with the result and we're through to the next round in pole position now.
Congrats, Gooner - a great win for you lot!
Thanks. We needed that.
