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!

Fight! Fight! Fight!


OK, hands up anyone, ANYONE who predicted that Mancini would take on Moyes in a scuffle? It looked like an Afghan hound up against a Staffordshire terrier. The video that I saw first on Sky was pretty excellent, but I can't find a youtube that does it the justice this picture does.

That was brilliant. I was waiting for Moyes to back hand him!

Marvelous stuff. My money's definitely on Moyesy. I am surprised that the sartorial Marcini would want to even get his scarf mussed.

That's as it should be. It was Mancini that started it, and squared up to Moyes. I think Roberto is really lucky because Moyes was so surprised. A quicker reaction from Moyes, and Mancini's nose would have been spread across his face with free running claret everywhere.
