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 a big night of Premiership action tonight and I'm back in the office after my London holiday break. I'll be watching the Citeh v. Arsenal clash and following the others on Football 365. Join me if you're doing some Wednesday loafing about.

I've got a stream up through My Premium TV:

And then select "Sky Sports 2" from the menu on the right.
The Guardian hacks seemed to have made a mistake already. Szczesny appears to be on from the start instead of Fabianski.
The other Premiership fixtures tonight:
Villa v. Sunderland
Blackburn v. Liverpool
Bolton v. Wigan
Everton v. Spurs
Newcastle v. West Ham
Wolves v. Chelski
Bloody hell - we're only just started and Jose Bosingwa has put through his own net. Wolves are in front!
Horrible free kick from RVP there.
That Chelski own goal lifts Wolves temporarily off the bottom above Wigan. It also notably keeps Chelski rooted in fifth with Sunderland in sixth making up ground with them.
I'm assuming that a draw is the best result for ManYoo fans after their 2-1 win yesterday.
More early goals. Newcastle are in front against West Ham and Luis Saha has scored in the third minute against Spurs.
Gareth Barry is the first into the book tonight for a cynical body check on Sagna.
If these early scores were to hold up, you could definitely see two packs emerging: the top three (United, Citeh, Arse) challenging for the title and another two or three chasing that last Champions League spot, including Spurs and Chelski and perhaps one more.
Oh - Tevez nearly in there from the free kick. Song nearly set him. The Arsenal back four as usual all at sea at a set piece.
Oh - Nasri set Fabregas up wonderfully and Fab struck the post with a powerful drive. Theo was offside with the follow-up.
VDV has equalized for Spurs in the 11th minute. 1-1 at Goodison.
Surprise, surprise - Nigel De Jong picks up his requisite yellow card. Andy Gray is complaining about it but he starts on a yellow in my book.
A lot of matches piling up for the Gunners now. After their titanic FA Cup tie with the mighty Leeds on Saturday, they'll meet Ipswich in the Carling Cup semi on Wednesday next week.
Hey Bob,
I am home from school.
Still scoreless at the Em.. I'll take that score
CHELSEA ARE LOSING!
Newcastle take a two goal lead against the Hammers
I have the big match on ESPN2 and Soccer Special on the computer
Heskey misses a sitter at Villa Park
TV slightly ahead of SS
Heskey misses another chance!
The Toon get a third!!
Kevin Nolan with Newcastle's third!!
The Hammers back on the bottom
Blackburn have taken the lead against LiverSox!
Half time at the Em... I'll take a nil niller
Wolves take their lead to the break
1 clean sheet in 9 and only 15 goals in 15 games for Chelsea
According to SS, LiverSox's heads have dropped... could have conceded again!
Goal at Ewood Park... for ROVERS!!
LiverSox are pants!!
Bye by Woy?
Hiya, Dave. Sorry, I was distracted by a student and missed the end of the first half. I can't believe that they're tracking me down during the Winter Break!
Bolton Wigan has a been a bore!!
A goal at Goodison... called back for offside from Crouchie
Welcome back Bobby
Liverpool are now 2-0 down! Stuck in mid-table now. Blimey - how can Woy survive?
You've got to be loving that Molineux scoreline.
ESPN just showed how you can watch four games at a time on ESPN 3
Bloody hell - you really are Nocito Sports Center with that kind of coverage!
I sure am... I need them to fall as far a possible!
Could you imagine them not making the CL??
LiverSox are only 4 points from the drop
I had a chat with Steve Caldwell the other night. He's promised that AZ Kicker will have a cameo appearance on the blog this weekend. Shame none of us are going to be around!
I don't have it but I would like to see it!!
Chelsea onslaught has started in the Black Country
COME ON WOLVES.... GET ANOTHER ONE!
The Hammers are getting truly hammered. Still - it's very tight at the bottom. There is no really shite side this season. Usually there is one team that's only on about ten points at this point. But from 15th place on downward, there's only three points in it.
"Black Country?" That's a bit racialist, innit Dave?
all Chelsea..surely they will still win this
I have always thought how they can get away with calling it that these days!
Somehow the ball has stayed out of the net for Sunderland at Villa Park
I'll bet that you were saying the same thing about Chelski on Sunday. I was too and wasn't surprised when Terry scored. But I nearly fell off the settee when Villa popped up again with a late, late equalizer. Wow!
The BLACK Cats getting all the chances at Villa Park
Wolves had a chance on the break but nothing!
RVP has a shot saved by Hart... nice hit... good save
My SS link just froze!
West Ham are now FOUR NIL DOWN!!
Leon Best with a hat-trick!
IT'S FIVE FOR THE TOON
Glad John isn't here!
More student interruptions....grrrrr!

Who the hell is Leon Best!?
I can't get any any links to work

This is a dream night for you lot. You must be cock a hoop.
3-0 Blackburn!
Bolton lead Wigan
LiverSox THREE DOWN
Still can't find the SS
Bolton for the Champions League? Who would have thought it.
I thought you had it - click on Stream 3 at the top of the page.
Handbags at the Villa and Ivanhoe has been given his marching orders. Villa down to ten men!
Hilarious - Blackburn fans were singing "You're getting sacked in the morning" for Woy and the Liverpool away fans were joining in!
I back from an milk run
Any changes?
Villa are now losing as well!!
Are Villa going down?
As SS just said, the managers going into tonight in trouble are all losing
Grant, Houllier and Woy have been outscored 9 nil so far
Spitty winding up the Sox fans
Merse
"Wolves defending like wolves"
Tim Howard with a great save from VDV
2 min plus stoppages at the Em

Wolves look comfy
Zendon gets his second yellow and he is off for Sunderland
Yeah - Sunderland are 0-1 up now. 10 v. 10 there with Zenden sent off as well as Heskey.
Zabelleta has been sent off!!!
What happened?
Arsenal are complaining too... is Sagna off too?
Yup... they're both off
Red card or cards at the Emirates?!!!
They both get forehead to forehead. No butts but they were like bulls!
Not much of a spectacle at the Emirates. No goals and two sent off now.
A goal at Goodison..... to the Toffees!
Typical Mancini... take off Tevez when you need a goal!
Wow - Everton have scored late on at Goodison. Your night is complete. Citeh and Arse drawing and Chelski and Spurs losing.
Drog free kick chance.... haven't heard about his free kick.... he must of missed
Big Nose thinks that Zabaletta was the innocent party and that Sagna was the aggressive bull.
too early.... shut it!!!
"Good night for Manchester United" I'd say!
Goal at Ewood... to the Sox
Consolation goal for the Scousesox from Gerrard.
Goal at the Reebok... for Wigan. 1-1
Goal at the Reebok... for Wigan. 1-1
Last chance saloon for RVP...saved by Hart
CHELSEA HAVE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLOW UP REF!!!
It's all over at Molineux....Chelski in deep crisis now!
Nil nil at the EM!!
YES!!!!! IT IS OVER
Drogs doesn't look pleased!
WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!!
Wolves are out of the dropzone for the first time in yonks. Villa, Wigan and the Hammers in it now but any of them from Everton on down could get dragged back into it. What a strange season.
1st United win
2nd Citeh draw

I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!!
Penalty for Liverpool right at the death. Gerrard with a one man show. He was brought down and now he's set to take the pen as well. Is he selling the pies at half time as well?
Penalty to LiverSox.... Gerrard to take... MISSES IT!!!
Villa have lost
No - Stevie G. has missed it. Unbelievable!
It's getting better and better and better!!!
LiverSox lose!
Villa are in the bottom three
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR PICK FOR THE TITLE!!!!
Are they toast!
Stevie Mac talks about United's evening.... 'it has been a wonderful evening and all they have done is sit in their house"
Final score
Tooting and Mitcham 1 Met Police 4
What happened at Bolton to have 8 minutes of added time?
LiverSox have lost
My pick for the title have completely collapsed. I am shocked by that. They haven't been worth a toss since Ray Wilkins left the club. What was it about the way that Butch laid out the cones at practice that made such a difference!?
Chris Kirkland had a horrendous injury in that match.
Even better now. Spurs have lost. What a night!
Bolton and Wigan have ended at 1-1.
I had fun watching the Ashes in Britain. England have been rampant against the Aussies who are more hopeless than I've ever seen them before. They're woeful!
What a night indeed!
I could not have asked for more!
I have been watching the Ashes on mypremiumtv. The sky sports 1 link has it
Take care Bob
Have fun on your trip
TTFN
Cheerio, mate!
