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!
Manchester United can bounce back from that Wembley disappointment on Saturday and take one more inevitable step toward the title with a win at St. James' Park this afternoon. We also have the non-inconsequential Championship match-up between Burnley and Boro, in which I'll obviously be rooting on the Northeasterners. If you're around today, drop in for a cuppa around 2:45 EST.

What do you think about Appy Arry wanting the Citeh Stoke match to be rescheduled.
The way it is, Stoke could let Citeh win the league game and help them make the Champions League slot and then they would qualify for the Europa League for being runners up

You say that tonight's match in the Championship doesn't matter... Burnley with a win would be two points behind Leeds
ESPN 2's coverage of the match starts 15 minutes before kick off.
LOVELY JUBBLY
Afternoon, Dave! I'm here at work but I've got a lovely link for the ESPN2 coverage of the big match.
King Kev - "luv it!"
Giggsy, Roon and Chicha all up front - Fergie is going for it!
'Arry's just having a wind-up, isn't he? Every year it's the same thing - managers having a whinge about the schedule. They've known about it since August - why moan now. It is what it is. That said - I don't like how the FA Cup has been lost in the shuffle.
Love King Kenny's reaction to Arsene refusing to shake his hand. Lovely.
Absolutely - he can be a right pillock at times.
Any predictions for today?
Berbatov not even on the bench... could his career at OT done?
He's our's and the league's top scorer!
SAF says Berbs isn't feeling very well
Twin Dutchmen in the nets today.
I don't get that at all. Why the loyalty to Roon but willing to cast Drac adrift.
I JUST WANT A WIN!
And one for Spurs tomorrow!
And why not Birmingham too!
I love ESPN's coverage
I might have beat at that D.C. v. Red Balls match on Thursday but I can't get away until Friday morning.
I'll take a Boro win today, Ipswich in the derby match later in the week and then of course a big win against Reading on Friday.
Blow off whatever was on Thursday!
Okay, let's both have our wishes for the week.... of course.... I want a win at OT on Saturday in the early match against Everton
We're off!!!!
United attacking the same way we did when we scored 4 in a 6-2 win!
It's kick-off time with United getting us underway on Tyneside. Looks nice there - wish it were here. We had more bloody snow this morning!
My boy Nani into the PFA Team of the Year. Well done, lad!
What a save!!! I thought Chicha was definitely going to score there from Roon's great center.
ooh, Hernadez should have scored!
"Don't be Krul." Nice one, Alan!
Chicha did everything right - it was just a brilliant save from the kid.
United looking good early doors.
Cracking start to this match - Barton could have done better there.
Struth... Barton was wide open at the back post
End to end stuff
Great block from Smalling, my Young Player of the Year. Jonas was nearly in.
Where's United defense!
Not liking this
Oooh, Ameobi was stretching but got it on target. Easy save for VDS there, though.
United's defense is still on the bus.
Newcastle could have had four already!
Come on Man U...be like United and go down and score at the other end
United can't get it over half
It could easily happen.
Nani being a balhog... pass it to the overlap
What was Carrick playing at there?
UNITED VERY IFFY AT THE BACK!
Carrick makes another mess in the back like Saturday
Good move from Newcastle ends up with a corner earned. Jonas is providing some nice width down the left.
Great ball in from Barton but Amoebi and Williamson got in each other's way.
I'm starting to flag - may need some chocolate at half-time.
Still 0-0 between Burnley and Boro at Turf Moor. I'll take that. It would surely put an end to Burnley's playoff hopes.
BLOODY HELL!!
ROONEY!!
ARE BERBATOV IN DISGUISE!
Oh - Roon got round the back but ballooned it over. Krul might have got a touch. Why didn't he hit it with his left peg - he chose to run around his right!!!!
Roon wishes he were Drac - Berbatov has 21 goals in this league!
That was a save
We'll take Dimi if he's on offer. Ta very much.
Giggsy upends Jonas in a dangerous area.
Free kick chance for the TOon
Easy save by VDS
Burnley are two up against Boro
HOPELESS BY NANI
Nani drives his teammates crazy... when he shoots and doesn't pass... you can see them complain
Nani down in the box.... DIVE!
Should have been carded
Bugger - not happy to hear that. That puts Burnley up to 63 points, two points behind us but with inferior GD.
COME ON UNITED... WE LOOK CLUELESS
A point would be good enough today.
United trying to pass it too much
NO it wouldn't
phew... lovenkrands misses a free header
Burnley are three up!
Carrick in the book... useless
Great pass by Rooney to Giggs.. United break and Giggs passes to Chica but should have passed to Nani
Half time
Sorry - students coming by in droves.
IDIOTS
Second half underway
WE NEED A WIN!
I don't think so - you're well up. Even if you were to drop two points here, you'd be all set.
Bloody Norah - Burnley are 3-0 up!
Pressing a little but no creating much
Brilliant stuff from Nani - little chip into Giggs but the header had no power.
I'm off to set up my class now. It's UNITED TIME!
Giggs having an off night
I wish Berbatov was on the bench
Why is Rooney on the left!!
Hopeless by Nani!
ALl his teammates get so frustrated with him
HOPELESS BY NANI!!!
AGAIN!
That should have been a penalty for a foul by Anderson...stupid challenge!
Useless cross by Giggs
Can Manchester United score? They always score!
25 minutes to get something here United
WE NEED A GOAL
Oi - lay off my boy Nani!
Free kick chance for Rooney.... quite far out but please...straight into the keepers arms
TAKE HIM AT ELLAND ROAD!
Smalling lands awkward on his ankle but seems okay
agh!!!!!!
Evra with a great pass... Giggs hits it wide
Ireland on for the Toon
Be hopeless please
Valencia on for Anderson
United look clueless
Struth... Ireland hits it wide
Nile Ranger coming on to offer something a bit different.
Time for the Boro comeback!
Nani gets tripped... free kick chance... COME ON UNITED!!
15 min to go
Giggs into the wall...Corner
Free kick...Nani will score!
No - it's Giggs...into the wall.
Bring on Mikey to score the winner
Ooooh - Nani fizzes one just wide. Good stuff though.
A draw is not good enough
No chance will Arsenal win at Shite Fart tomorrow night. No chance.
Yes - it is.
Hope you're right!
I STILL WANT A GOAL!
Here comes wee Mikey!
Owen about to come on?
Who would come off? I wouldn't take off Hernandez
Roon bursts through but his shot was always rising.
Lots of whistles from the Toon Army for wee Mikey.
Roon with shot... high, wide and horrible
Owen coming on for Nani... good!
Why is he being booed?
Fans offering his money
Love it - "One greedy f--ker, there's only one greedy f--ker." I don't blame them at all. Owen not looking happy about the reception.
Come on, mate. He was bought for $25K, did sod all on Tyneside and then buggered off for a big pay-day at United - where he's done sod all. He should just retire. He's done.
I'm off, then. Best of luck, mate!
He is still YOUNG
Take care Bob
I am off to my class soon too
Giggs miss another chance!
Useless cross by Valencia!
Into FOUR added minutes
COME ON MAN U!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hernandez goes down in the box and the ref blew up and is booked for diving!
I am not a happy camper about this performance
We had a chance for big step toward the title tonight....
Two to go
United have been below par AGAIN tonight
Giggs has been hopeless... another terrible pass from him
last chance saloon... Rooney with a hopeless header
That should do it
Very upsetting
Game over
Not a happy chappy!!
Very upsetting display by United!
Off to college
