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 Carling Cup Second Round day. Unfortunately, I'll be in the classroom during the matches but I've got my lucky Leeds shirt on under the monkey suit, so I'm hoping that that will do the trick against Watford today. I'll be checking in around half-time. Chip in a comment or two if you're around and about today.

Violence outside the stadium at West Ham. A man stabbed in the chest. It was apparently a planned aggro session. There's a shocker with Millwall
Heya, Dave! I'm back from my class and delighted to see that the mighty Leeds boys are leading 1-0 through a 38th minute Snoddy goal.
Way Hay!
Report from Elland Road said it was all Leeds
They have some American paying for them
Pompey are four up
Good game for Portsmouth, just what they need
I got that P2P link for SS up and running. Thanks for the tip, mate.
I don't know who the Yank is playing for us. I think Mike Grella is an Aussie.
Shame to see Millwall 0-1 up at Upton Park. Where are you WHR?
Blackburn now 0-2 up against the Gills.
"Large scale crowd trouble" at Upton Park. Not good.
Large Scale trouble outside of Upton Park as the game is going on
Hey Bob
I don't want Millwall to do well. Their fans don't deserve it

I agree with your assessment of Millwall.
Half an hour left at Elland Road now. Hang in there, lads!
Tractor Roys are now losing... he is going to quit soon

Research
Grella is American
Banjo Boy has scored to make it Brum 1 Soton 1.
Really? I thought he was from Oz.
Wasn't it brilliant?
Brum score the equalizer
Hull are 3-1 up now.
Harry Redknapp thinks that Liverpool will be hard to beat this season. Well, Villa and Spurs beg to differ!
Absolute corker of a pass. What I don't understand is why his teammates didn't cut it out. It's as if they were paralyzed.
Brum take the lead
Brum now 1-2 up at St. Marys.
Beckford's off in favor of Enoch Chumbawamba.
Altidore was one of the goalscorers for Hull
Millwall should be banned outright!
Excellent news about Jozy.
Inside the last ten minutes at Elland Road. Come on, you Whites!
Good - the commentator thinks there isn't much of a sign of an equalizer at Elland Road. Long may it last.
I love Thommo's accent. Great stuff!
Burnley tie it up late at Hartlepool
Hartlepool are locked 1-1 with Burnley now.
"Put the late night cocoa on." Classic!
The Yank Grella has been replaced by Neil Kilkenny.
Five minutes plus stoppage time now at Elland Road. I'm on pins and needles.
Trouble inside the ground now
Millwall should be disbanded!!
Bugger!!
Watford equalize... not deserved
Bugger! 1-1. Put the late night cocoa on.
Unbelievable stuff at Upton Park. Now there are things being thrown onto the pitch.
We need a late goal! Come on!
YES!!!
West Ham tie it up!
Leeds TIME!!
Thommo's excited and West Ham are back in it. That's the last thing that the stewards wanted. They probably just wanted to slip out.
Oh dear, the goal celebration has spilled over. The Hammers may take some stick for that.
You can hear the Upton Park crowd chanting "Who are ya!?" through Thommo's headset.
Yeah, apparently Stanislas, the Hammers goalscorer went straight to the Millwall fans after he'd scored. Not too clever.
Thanks for the gee up, mate! We need it.
Should I take the lucky shirt off then?
It looks like all Watford now. Argggh.
I can't believe you are wearing it!!
TAKE IT OFF
Two goals were scored when you did it last week
ET at ER
We're through to extra time then.
It's coming off then.
Ipswich are out - Peterboro go through to Round 3.
There was a six minute delay after that West Ham goal!!
From the beeb
World Cup winner Jack Charlton has been taken to hospital after collapsing during a family holiday in Spain.
The 74-year-old was taken to a private clinic after falling ill in Mascarat on the Costa Blanca complaining of eye problems, his son John said.
Tests were inconclusive and he was discharged to return to his family.
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-1 in extra time. Snoddy's second!
Leeds take the lead!!!!
Snodgrass with his second
THE SHIRT WAS TAKEN OFF... LOOK WHAT HAPPENS!
Sad news about Sir Bobby.
You are right!
Not Bobby
JACK Charlton
Sorry - that's what I meant. Jacko. Ex-Leeds man. Sad news.
Take off your Leeds undies and Snoddy will score the hat-trick!
Ten minutes gone in the extra period at Elland Road. I'm still on pins and needles.
Unfortunately, I don't have any Leeds undies.
Barnsley score a late winner against Reading
Socks? Slippers?
It looks as if the correspondents have buggered off. We're left with just the host. No, here's Thommo.
'Fraid not.
West Ham to take a pen...scores
This won't make the Lions' fans happy
i do
Penalty to the Hammers! Stanislas to take....
Stutter steps and 2-1!
And he's gone over to the Millwall corner again! What a mad bugger!
Looks like the players are coming off at Upton Park now. What madness!
Why on earth did Stanislas do that?
West Ham fans on the field!
Why bring yourself down to Millwall's level
Players have gone off
And now Stanislas is taking photos with his camera phone! Unbelievable! He'll get a ban.
Meanwhile it's half time in ET at Elland Road.
I would think it is the fan taking the pictures
players back on
Just blow the whistle ref
The teams are back on at Upton Park and Millwall have kicked off again.
Forest now beating Boro
You would think so, but according to Thommo it was Stanislas who was larking about the pitch after his goal like Nobby Stiles at Wembley.
Did you hear about World Soccer Daily?
West Ham score a third
No, what?
I went to Justin and they Five Live Extra commentating of the game at Upton Park
They came on on Friday and announced that it would be the last show.
Apparently there has been a campaign of intimidation by Liverpool fans for the past year, sanctioned by the club. He was sacked from FFF because some advertisers demanded it. Cohen has had death threats and threats against his family. Sad news.
The scorer ran near the touchline celebrating.
IDIOT!!
Go back to your half and kick off again
Burnely have scored
About ten minutes of extra time now. Still 2-1.
Burnley have scored to make it 1-2 against Hartlepool. Jeff won't be happy.
Riddiculous!
Can't Zola have a word with his players?!
I'll post on the WSD story tomorrow.
Less than ten minutes now - come on, you Whites!
Shirt still off?
Thommo thinks that the pitch invasion at Upton Park has mainly been West Ham fans. Not good.
Shirt still off, mate. Cheers!
Well done mate.. will you ever learn!!!
Watford really giving it a go, now. Hang in there!
If I were in Upton Park, I'd definitely stay in the stadium as long as I could. I wouldn't want to be walking back to the Tube tonight.
Well said Big Nose
No, I won't.
I would have left a long time ago
Oh dear - Snoddy's gone down injured and has been replaced by Luciano Becchio. I hope it's not serious.
He's just knackered and time wasting!
About three minutes from time. Hang on!
We've only got one week left to weather the transfer speculation with Beckford. I really hope he stays.
Only moments left now. Surely there isn't much stoppage time to be played. Blow up, ref!
Fingers crossed again for you
Swansea are down to 9 men and 1-2 down.
Stop calling me Shirley... I know, you've never heard of that before
WELL DONE!!!
YESSSSS!!! Full-time! 2-1!
Our perfect record continues. Six games and six wins. Fourteen consecutive wins at Fortress Elland.
Bring on the big boys in Round 3.
I'm off home. I hope things don't get worse at Upton Park. Sounds dire.
You don't want my lot!!! My Fergie fledglings will knock you off anywhere!! Old Trafford, Elland Road, the Moon!!
