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!
Arsenal are the literal "walked wounded" as they head into Anfield today, but they could certainly do mortal damage to the Reds' championship hopes today.

I've just pulled the VSS feed up and they've got LFC-TV going with "great goals" against the Gunners from years past.
Lovely - a great Sky feed now up on LiveVSS.
Here are the teams in full for tonight's match: Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio, Alonso, Mascherano, Benayoun, Kuyt, Riera, Torres Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Babel, Lucas, Ngog, El Zhar, Skrtel
Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Toure, Silvestre, Gibbs, Arshavin, Song Billong, Fabregas, Denilson, Nasri, Bendtner Subs: Mannone, Diaby, Eduardo, Vela, Walcott, Ramsey, Eboue Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)
Here we go then...!
Liverpool have a chance to take the leadership spot away from United at least temporarily.
Kieran Gibbs does well to step out and Intercept Javier Mascherano's neat pass towards Dirk Kuyt. Liverpool are dominating possession early on.
It will be interesting to see what interest Arsenal have in this match. Their fourth spot is virtually locked up now and their main action now is in the Champions League. Wenger has decided not to risk Adebayor tonight given RVP's knock at the weekend.
Fabianski does well with his handling from a sharp Riera shot.
Torres is down and seems to have rolled over his right ankle. Painful but he should be able to continue. Rafa's looking concerned.
Benayoun was through on goal there but Fabianski did brilliantly. He's really making up for Saturday's 'mare at Wembley.
Arsenal are using the width providing by Nasri on the right and Arshavin on the left to good effect.
Silvestre is getting a bollocking for tumbling over Torres.
Silvestre topples Torres again but there's nothing from the ref.
Bendtner needs to do a better job holding up the ball IMHO.
Half an hour in and there have been relatively few chances on goal. That will suit Arsenal - and United's - purposes tonight.
Fabregas hit a volley there and Bendtner was inches from connecting with a diving header. Closest Arsenal have got so far.
Torres' powerful driven effort from 30 yards is fumbled away from his goal by Fabianski. The Arsenal keeper is lucky that Gibbs is on hand to clear the danger.
GOAL! Arshavin has scored and it's at the Kop End!
Mascherano, my least favorite Liverpool player, dallies on it, coughs it up to Nasri, who played in Fabregas, who squared it to Arshavin who skied it into the top of the net.
0-1 Arsenal!
Fabianski saves well from Benayoun again.
There's a real zip to the match now.
Coming up on half time. Liverpool have had their chances but it's still 1-0 to the visitors with Fabianski having the game of his life.
Arbeloa hits one with his left foot that finds Fabianski's torso once again.
Half-time: 1-0 to the Arsenal.
I'm back from setting up my classroom and the second half has just got underway.
GOAL! Torres equalizes from a Dirk Kuyt cross. It was an inviting cross but Torres still had to power it into the bottom right corner past Fabianski.
1-1! And it's all up for grabs!
Anfield is in full voice now, roaring on their side to victory.
Torres picks up a free kick in a dangerous area now.
GOAL! This is a major turning point. Benayoun seems to have scrambled it over the line, despite the Arsenal protests. The cross came over and Benayoun just hung up enough to steer the header towards goal, it came off the underside the bar and crossed the line before Fabianski could claw it out.
2-1 Liverpool!
Now what answer can Arsenal have? Wenger will surely throw Theo into the mix before long.
Liverpool now two points up on United. Of course United have two games in hand, including the match with Everton tomorrow.
Wow! I've just come back during my break and seen that I've missed out on probably the best match of the season. 4-4 at the end, which will have a little someone in Scotia dancing a jig tonight. Arshavin has scored all four for the Arse and two goals were scored in stoppage time!
That's it for me - over and out.
Wow is right!!
I was following the text from my classroom before I left for college.
I couldn't believe Arsenal took the lead in the 90th and Costa score again!!!
I did do a little jig but not fully convinced that is the decider!
WE NEED TO WIN TOMORROW!!
