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!
It's a little bit of Carling Cup, a little bit of UEFA Cup, and a little bit of something else on the docket today.

Watford are already one nil up over Spurs in the other Carling Cup quarterfinal this afternoon.
I've lost the signal for the United match, so I've switched over to the Citeh match with PSG match on FSC.
0-0 in both matches so far.
They've just panned on Nic Anelka in the stands at Eastlands. Interesting. Big Phil won't be happy about that. So is it a move to Manchester or Paris that he's eyeing?
Citeh have reached half time with PSG at 0-0. Not a lot going on in this one that I can see.
GOAL - TEVEZ. The free-kick is whipped in from the right by Giggs with his left foot and Tevez and Mokoena challenge for it just past the far past, with the ball bouncing into the net. Tevez, naturally, wheels away in celebration but Mokoena played a big part in that.
United 1-0! Where are you Davey?
Spurs have leveled their match with a penalty from Pavlyuchenko right at the stroke of half time.
GOAL - NANI. Could be game, set and match now. United getting the goals their possession has deserved, with Nani grabbing the second. Lovely one-two with Tevez before driving under Robinson - who got a touch - from around 14 yards out.
United 2-0 and cruising it.
So how long before the Guvnor gets the sack at Blackburn then?
Still scoreless at Eastlands.
Carlito has added two more to complete his hat-trick. That might make it harder for Fergie to shop him in January.
4-1 United now.
Wow - a late flurry of goals has left United 5-3 winners on the night with Carlito bagging four goals. What a night for him!
In addition, Spurs have eked out a 2-1 win against Watford. So United and Spurs go into the semi final pot alongside Burnley.
Citeh have ended a dismal match at 0-0. I've had a hard time keeping up with the group stages of the UEFA Cup. What a ridiculous competition it is now. Why not go back to the basic knock-out format? Does anyone really want to watch a second-rate European "league?"
Hey Bob, I was around watching both Cup games today. I just didn't think anyone was around because no one was yesterday.
Glad for Tevez. I loved his tap in after a great move by Anderson. He should have repaid him a little later on.
I hope United meet Spurs in the Final. They have never met in a final before. Of course, maybe getting them in the two leg semi would be easier than a one off.
I suppose that's the answer to the trivia question - "Has there ever been a United-Hotspur" final? Er...no.
