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!
The last big Arsenal vs. Chelsea meeting ended up in an almighty ruck. They meet again this afternoon in the semi final of the Cup. Before then we've got the usual Saturday Premiership, Championship and Division 1 fixtures to savor.

I'll Be Here!!
Big games in all divisions
None bigger than Leeds hosting Tranmere Rovers. A Leeds win will almost guarantee a play off spot
Good Luck
Massive game for us today. Tranmere have been nipping at our heels for weeks now. It's time to give them a bit of the hob-nail toe in the groin.
Cheers, mate!
My predictions for the Premiership today:
Villa 1 West Ham 0
Boro 1 Fulham 0
Pompey 2 Bolton 0
Stoke 1 Blackburn 0
Sunderland 1 Hull 1
Spurs 2 Newcastle 1
Citeh 2 West Brom 0
Blimey - it's Rochdale vs. Darlington Division 2 footer on Sky Sports 1!
The Premiership Preview Show has started on FSC. Wish I could get Soccer Saturday on Sky.
Hi Guys .
CIA here . I may drop in from time to
time today . So be careful with your
comments . Best of luck with Leeds
today Bob .
How did that come out as Tony instead
of Chelskilad ?
With the big boys all playing in the FA Cup this weekend, the Premiership action is all about the dogfight at the bottom. I reckon that there will be some big changes at the foot of the table today.
Cheers, Tony! Good to have you on board for today's action. I hope you'll be around for your boys vs. Arsenal in the Cup.
Hey Tony
That is strange about it saying Tony
Your second comment was Cheslkilad
If my predictions are right, Stoke and Pompey will be just about safe tonight, while Boro will jump out of the drop zone and more pressure will be put on Sunderland, Blackburn and Newcastle.
I noticed that the Gooner had one post as "Steve" yesterday. A quirk in the Blogger system?
Any thoughts on Susan Boyle then, lads? I think she's brilliant!
Classic
Preview Show ending and the Matchday Show about to start on FSC. Meanwhile Darlington are just about to wrap a 0-2 win against Rochdale on Sky.
I particularly like the little jig and fist pump at the end when she'd gotten three "yes" votes.
I miss read the kick off this morning and set the damn alarm for a 7:15 kick off for the semi!!
What are you watching now?
I am just listening to Five Live right now
Warren Barton is talking about Fergie's "mind games." Your thoughts, Dave?
I've done that. I tried to sleep in but I was up at 7:30 anyway. The curse of the schoolteacher.
Is you Vss working?
I click on it and there is some other page. You?
Well, Rafa is a plonker!!
Rochdale - Darlington are done. I'm hoping that SS will be next up.
What are you watching?
Yeah, I've got VSS up and running. It seems to change in format every weekend. It looks more like Atdhe now. I clicked on the Sky Sports link near the bottom of the page and a new screen popped up with an arrow to click on. Try that.
I had that yesterday but today it has something else
I'm also watching the FSC Matchday show. If I can get SS up next on VSS, I'll mute that and watch the match with the sound off.
There's a Renault ad with Eric Cantona on VSS right now.
Bugger.
I have something about Apache is working on your cPanel and WHM server
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN???
Looks as if FSC is setting up Stoke vs. Blackburn as their match of the day. Rubbish!
That is the match
It is important!
Page down to the links toward the bottom of the page, mate. Click on "Sky Sports"
It is an important match but I don't want to watch it. It's going to be long throws from Stoke and thuggery from Blackburn.
I don't have any links.
It doesn't open VSS
Big Sam is going with Chris Samba at center forward again! This time alongside Benni McCarthy. I hope that Stoke stuff them. Blackburn are rapidly becoming my least favorite Premiership club.
Is the background a sort of greenish color? If not, try refreshing the site.
What does this mean?

Rochdale-Darlington going off. Next up - SS!
Stop rubbing it in
I have no idea. I didn't get that message. Are you sure you've got:
http://livevss.net/
Stoke vs. Blackburn about to start on FSC.
Beckford's back in the side alongside Luciano Becchio up front for Leeds. Come on you Whites!
1:15 on the gameclock and it's the first long throw for Rory Delap. I'd like to chop his arms off!
Beattie should have done better there from Ricardo Fuller's cross. Bright start from Stoke.
The other big match in Division 1 is the Dons vs. Scunthorpe. I honestly don't know what result suits us there.
Cheltenham, who could be relegated from League One today, are 1-0 down at Crewe.
Hartlepool are 1-0 down and the SS boys are chuckling at Stelling's misery.
Bolton defender Gary Cahill stops David Nugent having a shot at goal as Portsmouth make a decent start at Fratton Park.
Wolves, who could be promoted to the Premier League today, have made a quiet start to their clash against QPR.
Romario has been linked with the open job as boss at QPR!!!!
Just tried to clean up my computer
No luck
I can't get that website!
Leeds just have the edge in the first ten minutes at Elland Road.
Have you tried to get a link through Adthe?
I just clicked on the Sky link on atdhe and it is a commercial right now
West Ham continue to impress at Aston Villa as Luis Boa Morte's cross falls to Junior Stanislas. The young striker, however, misses another good chance to give his side the lead.
Bristol Rovers have scored against Millwall. Good one!
I think it is Setanta.
Why isn't there a match on?
I am completely confused today
Villa have scored through Ivanhoe. Good pullback from Jamie Milner.
Villa take the lead against the Hammers
Heskey with a goal 11 minutes into his return
There was also a link for SS on the Football365 site. Try that one too:
http://www.football365.com
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Beckford's 32nd goal. 1-0 Leeds!
Well done
That goal puts us on 78 points, one behind both the Dons in third and Millwall in fourth. Most importantly it increases the gap with Scunny to seven points.
The Sky link on atdhe is the build up to the semi on Setanta
Leicester could get promotion today with a win at Southend. Still 0-0 there.
James Tomkins follows up David Di Michele's low effort and turns the ball over the top of the bar as West Ham look to pull level at Aston Villa.
Beattie's doing his nut over a penalty claim. He did seem to be hauled down there. He's still jabbering at the ref.
Heskey should have scored Villa's second.
Oh, free header there for Stoke's center back. Put it wide.
Still having no luck with links
I am watching the TV and have the setanta build up to the semi
Peterboro take the lead
Cambridge, who can still win the Blue Square Premier and bag promotion to the Football League, move 1-0 up at Salisbury with Scott Rendell on target.
I think that would just about clinch their second place finish.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
Neil Kilkenny scores our second.
2-0!
Oh dear, Tranmere have scored. 2-1 now.
WELL DONE
2-0!!!!!!
OH dear
NOt good news for Sotton
Losing to Wednesday
Blackburn are trying the Stoke long throw routine through Pederson. Honesty this match is like watching two drunks taking wild swings at each other after a night of excess.
Cambridge could get with three points of Burton. Burton were miles ahead but lost last night
They are still 4 goals back but you never know
After half an hour, Emile Heskey's goal for Villa is still the only goal in the Premiership.
The goals are flying in in the Prem like last week
We had 40 goals in 10 games last week. That included a one niller
Bugger, Millwall have equalized. That's got them up into third on 80 points.
Millwall tie it up
Lovely - Bristol Rovers have scored another. 2-1 over Millwall now.
Charlton need a win today to avoid relegation from the Championship. Still 0-0 at the valley.
Cambridge pegged back
AJ rattles the woodwork at the Riverside. Still 0-0.
I really want Pompey to be safe today
Now Ricardo Fuller's gone down in the area. Referee not impressed.
I'll be back in a tick
Taking Tom to footer practice
Pompey have got the upper hand. Glen Johnson has apparently had several saved by Jaskelainen.
Off you go then, lad.
MK Dons are 1-0 up on Scunny. That moves them into third on 81. Bristol Rovers have scored a third against Millwall.
Coming up on half time at the Britannia. The huge crowd there really deserves better footie than this.
No goals yet in the Premier League games between Sunderland and Hull, Portsmouth and Bolton, Stoke and Blackburn and Middlesbrough and Fulham. Hopefully there will be more action as the afternoon goes on.
Hereford are nearly down now. They're one nil down to Colchester.
Hereford now 2-0 down. League two is beckoning them.
Celtic, a point clears of Rangers at the top of the SPL, grab the lead at home to Mansfield with Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink scoring.
Stelling is celebrating Hartlepool's second goal.
Bristol Rovers are 4-1 up! And Millwall have had their top scorer sent off. Lovely.
Sunderland have scored through Cisse to take the lead 1-0 over Hull.
Half time in today's 3 p.m. kickoffs.
I am back
Not many goals in the prem
MK Dons' lead against Scunthorpe is good for you.
I have a SS link working through p2p
Lovely
I still have the Setanta semi build up
Good on you, mate. Enjoy the SS magic.
Second half about to start at Stoke.
The guy has changed the link to the BBC
That's a lot of build up!
He's changed it back again
As things stand right now, Leeds the Dons, Millwall and Leeds would all confirm play-off spots today.
Forest and Charlton are winning
Looks like Wolves are going up
Could that all be decided?
Scunny have a lot of games in hand
Good banter between Matt and Jeff
VSS has frozen up. I'm on the MyP2P link for SS now.
Forest and Sotton meet each other on the last day!
The Tractor Boys could really do Norwich some harm tomorrow in the local derby
Two big goals in the Championship as Wolves go closer to securting promotion to the Premier League by going 1-0 up against QPR and Charlton quickly double their lead over Blackpool.
Jeremie Aliadiere's cross from the right is met by a strong header from Tuncay but Mark Schwarzer is on hand to turn away the effort as the score remains 0-0 between Middlesbrough and Fulham.
You may be right about Scunny. I'll have to check it.
It is not a good day for Cardiff as they fall 3-0 behind at Preston. Jon Parkin is the latest man to score for the Deepdale outfit. Lovely.
I think they still have four games to go
Nice strike by the Stoke lad tipped over by Robbo.
Make that 4-0
Etherington goes close with a header at the back post. Stoke knocking on the door.
Kenwynne Jones has had a goal ruled out for Sunderland.
Leeds THREE ONE!!
Luciano Becchio, Luciano Becchio.....
3-1!
Leicester score
Matty Fryatt has stuck a second goal in for Leicester. They're going up to the Championship for sure today.
Sorry, that's 1-0 Leicester.
Stunning about the lack of goals in the Prem
COME ON POMPEY and STOKE
Blackburn manage to scramble a Rory Delap long throw-in away from danger as Stoke continue to search for the first goal of their Premier League clash.
Leeds would will be in the play off if the scores stay the same bar a couple of whacky results
Scunny could still catch them but Tranmere would be 6 behind with two games to go but down by 11 goals!
Congrats
I agree - I need wins for Pompey, Stoke and Boro.
Any thoughts about the Romario as manager of QPR rumor, Dave?
I did hear that. I think it would be so stupid!
That's what I thought I'd heard. Cheers, mate. Nice anoraking.
They're one of the richest clubs around so I suppose they could afford to be silly. The wee Brazilian striker would be a colorful addition to the Championship. I wonder if he'd be tempted to strap on the boots?
Benni McCarthy off for Blackburn. Chris Samba still up front. What is Big Sam thinking?
Leicester are now 2-0 up. Fryatt with a brace.
Leicester going up as Champs
Soton still 1-0 down; they could be relegated today. Expect tears from Le Tiss in the studio.
They won't be relegated
They would be three points from safety with two to go
Beattie's jabbering at the ref again. He's close to a card for dissent at this point.
Sorry, Mr. Anorak.
It remains tight at the bottom of the Premier League as the score remains 0-0 in the games at Stoke, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough.
Oh dear for the Saints
STOKE SCORE!!!
BIG BIG GOAL
GOAL! James Beattie scores the goal that might just keep Stoke up in the Premiership. He was a bit lucky but persistent and he slammed the ball just past Robbo.
Stoke 1-0 up!
Sorry - that was Liam Lawrence. I mistook one frosted tipped hairstyle for another.
I missed SS for second.
Are Pompey down to 10
Cardiff let in #5
5-0 Preston over Cardiff!
I don't see any indication of that on 365 and I didn't hear it on SS. Distin and Kranjcar are on yellows.
COME ON POMPEY
I would luv it, luv it, luv it if Big Sam got Blackburn relegated.
I would luv it
YES POMPEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pompey are 1-0 up! Not sure whether it's Kanu or El Hadj who's claiming it.
That would be such a big win
They have an extra game to play but that is at OT
As it stands, I'd have 50 points in the kitty from the games today. Not enough to catch JediWisdom but close. Keeps me in second spot.
That would have Pompey on 37 points right? Close to survival. Stoke on 39. Definitely survival.
What do you need to happen?
Do you pick midweek games too?
Big games on Tuesday and Wednesday
Tues
Costa Arse
Wed
Chelski Everton
United Pompey
Hull and Blackburn both on 34 points. A Newcastle win tomorrow would definitely put the cat amongst the pigeons.
Chelski warming up on the Wemley turf as I type
I need a Boro goal, an equalizer for Hull and a second Pompey goal would be loverly.
I always loved seeing the build up on Cup Final day with the players in suits having a "first touch" of the turf.
I know it is getting late but there are still 15 points to play for
The Hammers have tied it up
Cheltenham might just survive in Division 1 for one more week.
Not good for me. I go from 30 points to -10 points on that match with that goal. A forty point turnaround.
Preston hit Cardiff for SIX
Cambridge still winning
I want to see Rovers go down
I hate Big Sam
Villa have really dropped off in recent weeks. I can't remember their last win. They're well off the CL spots in the end.
Everton will finish fifth
Charlton will go down even though they're winning if the scores stay the same. Sad day for them at the Valley.
Peterboro win
Are they up?
I think you're right. Everton fifth, Villa sixth. Is there to be a seventh spot for the Europa League. If so, maybe Spurs?
The Dons could still catch them with two wins from their last two matches. But it looks unlikely.
NOt yet
Charlton are down
So Leicester are up to the Championship and Charlton are down to League 1. Wolves up to the Premiership.
Stoke have won
Stoke have ended at 1-0. Great win for them. They'll survive. Blackburn deep in the mire now.
Clint Dempsey nearly won it at the Stadium of Light.
Wolves are up
Leicester up
Mick McCarthy back in the Prem with Wolves. Marvelous scenes at Molyneux. It's about time that they're back up. I still remember the Derek Dougan days. So the Brummie derby next season will be Villa vs. Wolves.
Sunderland win
Boro draw
Boro have drawn 0-0 against Fulham. Not good enough. They desperately needed the three points. They've got Arse and United up next. No points from those. They're just about down with WBA.
Wolves in the Prem remind me of Summers and that horrible match
Pompey win
Let't hope we thump them on Wed
Villa and Hammers draw
Leeds have finished at 3-1. Another win, another goal for Beckford. We're in good form going into the play-offs. I'm cautiously hopeful.
I hope they get none against those two
Boro did beat Costa at home. They better not against United
Cambridge win
FSC setting up Genoa and Lazio. I'm off for a quick shower and then I'll be joining you on Adthe for the big match.
Cambridge to win at home to 14th place Altrincham
Burton away to 4th place Torquay
A Cambridge win and Burton lose and at least a four goal switch
The Sky button on atdhe
Hi Guys .
Good old Pompey !!!
Steve Hill won't be a happy chappy .
Congrats Bob .
I have switched to a Veetle link
Players lining up in the tunnel
Here come the teams!
Preview of the European Cup Final
I BLOODY WELL HOPE NOT!
Wembley looks lovely
