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 been eight wins on the trot for the boys in white so far this season. Can they put the Shrimpers in the net and claim a seventh straight win to take the top of the league? Join me this afternoon from 2:45 pm to find out.

Good news out the Elland Road camp. Jermaine Beckford returns to the fold after missing Saturday's win against Stockport through a hamstring strain. Still Simon Grayson is playing it safe in the press, stating that Southend is a "tough place to go."
It doesn't look likely that there's any telly coverage this afternoon, so we're going to have to do this old school via the 365 text. Ah well...
The Leeds starting XI for today:
2. Shane Higgs
2. Jason Crowe
26. Leigh Bromby
3. Patrick Kisnorbo
22. Andy Hughes
23. Robert Snodgrass
4. Michael Doyle
14. Jonathan Howson
16. Bradley Johnson
9. Jermaine Beckford
10. Luciano Becchio
And we're under way at Southend. Come on, you Whites!
That's interesting. The Southend keeper's name is Steve Mildenhall.
Peppy start from Leeds with a few shots going in from Brad Johnson and Snoddy.
Oooh, Beckford has a shot blocked off the line. We're knocking on the door here.
Fifteen minutes gone and we're still at 0-0. If it's still that way at 60 minutes, the lucky Leeds shirt is coming off.
More shots raining in from Becchio and Beckford. It's time for a goal, lads. Keep up the pressure!
Oooh, Patrick Kisnorbo with a header just wide for us.
I am here with you Robert
Just went to SKy from VSS and it is bloody rugby.
At least the site is working. It wasn't this morning
I am listening to Five Live and it is all football talk. They should have updates from Southend.

has the match listed and they are showing Spurs Costa
Coming up on half time - still 0-0. I'm on pins and needles already. The lads are not making this easy this season.
Heya, Dave. Welcome! Glad to have you with me. You'll have to give me the instructions on when to remove the shirt.
I don't think there's any telly coverage of the match at all. Shame.
Our fullback Jason Crowe goes into the book for "unsporting behavior."
Will do
Try this for radio... I am so bummed that it says Southend Leeds and it is Spurs Costa
3:37 Lottie786: go on yorkshire radio website, then clcik listen now.
The ref blows for halftime. 0-0.
We've completely dominated with nine shots to four, but haven't capitalized on that pressure yet. Hopeful for better in the second period.
All the comments on this link from Justin TV are trying to help each other find it
The shirt should be coming off soon
Let me know. I'll have to close the office door and do the strip tease without any passing students.
We're under way in the second half. Jason Crowe has crocked himself and has been replaced with Lubomir Michalik.
It's nice to see us on top the league, albeit for a day. Top o' the heap. Come on, Charlton. Knock us off if you can!
Fifty minutes in - 0-0.
Southend's Alan McCormack is booked for "unsporting behavior."
Leeds Time... Shirtless Time
I have spoken
Ta, mate. It's coming off!
Right - the shirt's off and we've got half an hour to play. I want goals!
A bit more pressure from the Shrimpers in this half. I'm not happy.
I've just noticed that Southend have gone all continental on us - clock these names in their line-up:
Jean-Yves Moto
Jean Francois Christophe
Franck Moussa
Francis Laurent
Who do they think they are - Lyons?
I am off to pick up the boys
Leeds will be winning by the time I get back
Andy Hughes is booked for a foul on Anthony Grant.
Cheers, mate!
Penalty to Southend!! Curses!
Lee Barnard steps up and....
it's turned round the post by Shane Higgs!!!!!
Hurrah!
Still 0-0. We really dodged a bullet there. Leigh Bromby giving away the penalty.
Might be about time to introduce the Yank Mike Grella.
Just wide by big Lubomir, who scores a lot of crucial headers from corners for us. Come on!
Fifteen minutes to play now...
Neil Kilkenny has come on for Snoddy.
Just wide from Jermaine....
Southend have replaced a few of their Frenchies. They're off for an early bidet.
Inside the last ten minutes....
Now is the time, lads - come on!
One in off the bum, lads. I don't care. I need a goal!
Here comes Mike Grella on for Luciano Becchio.
Just wide from Mike Grella....
Blimey, Beckford's shot is fumbled by the keeper.....
Stick it in someone.....
Grella has a header just wide from a corner. We're pouring on the late pressure. It must be LEEDS TIME!
Almost into stoppage time now....
Come on, you Whites!
The 90 minutes are up. It's all up to the ref now. Can we squeeze a late winner? I hope so!
Full-time - 0-0
Our first dropped points of the season. Now I remember why I don't like Friday night fixtures.
Well, I'm still looking forward to some cracking matches this weekend. See you all then.
Sorry mate,
I just got home. I had to take some of Tom's teammates home.
Still no losses!!!
