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!
The Premiership returns after what seems like an eternal international break. Sadly, though, I'll be out of commission today, as I'll be down in western Pennsylvania doing our annual ATV benefit ride for the Belize trip. But I thought I'd start you lot off on what looks to be a quite epic day of the footer. Enjoy it, lads!

You'll be missed Dr. Dahlgren
I am set for a big day. I already have my Sky Sports News Link from mypremiumtv and Soccer Saturday is going strong.
No early games but all the big guns play at 10 except United that play 12:30
Proud Papa time
Tom's SUNY Adirondack have won their first two games. He has had a goal and an assist in both games
Yesterday, they were losing 1-0 with 4 minutes to go... he assisted for the tying goal and then 38 seconds later he beat his defender, rounded the keeper and slotted it home with his left foot
Matt has been doing well playing for the Varsity as a sophomore too
I am done bragging
Matches on the box
On ESPN2 is Sunderland vs Chelsea
On FSC is Arsenal vs Swansea... the big question from this one is can the Arse finish the match with 11 for the first time this season
Our Bob's team host Crystal Palace
Cech is back for Chelsea and Meireles starts as wekk
Sturridge and Anelka starts up top... Torres on the bench!
As for Citeh,
SCORE FOUR GOALS AND GET DROPPED!!!
Dzeko, after scoring four at White Hart Lane, isn't in the team as Aguero and Tevez starts up front against Wigan
Joining Dzeko on the pines is Nasri... I think he hurt his hand during the week
Arsenal v Swansea line-ups
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Ramsey, Frimpong, Arteta, Arshavin, Walcott, van Persie. Subs: Fabianski, Park, Andre Santos, Djourou, Chamakh, Benayoun, Coquelin.
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Agustien, Britton, Allen, Sinclair, Dyer, Graham. Subs: Tremmel, Dobbie, Lita, Moore, Bessone, Gower, Richards.
Gyan has left Sunderland for the UAE on loan for a year.... Brucie isn't pleased with the "parasites who have messed with Gyan's head"
Rangers have beaten Dundee United 1-0 in Dundee
In the fourth match of the season, Arsenal will be using their TWENTY-FIFTH player already!
YIKES
Good morning UWS. I am so pleased that your sons have done so well. I am sure you and Cathy are really proud.I ma surprised that Gyan made that move. It's all about money these days.
"£135 million worth of players only make the bench today. Torres, Dzeko, Carroll and Nasri."
I heard that. They are not a settled side. Arteta and the clumsy Mertesaker make their debuts. I think the Gunners should defeat Swansea. it should be an open match.
Brucie is being interviewed on the deuce. He must not be pleased today.
United, Citeh, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are all playing on Saturday!! All but United playing at 3 o'clock... that doesn't happen much any more
Is that due to the international break?
Morning MUR... I missed your first comments
Did Brucie say much about Gyan
I think so and the CL starts this week and some may be playing on Tuesday
I hope everything is going well in Scotia. Was this your first week back in school? I hope you were not seriously affected by the Hurricanes and the earthquake. Hope everyone is safe.
As asked before, will Arsenal finish with 11??
I did not hear the comments because I have the PIP option on today and the Sunderland match is the small picture, which does not have any volume.
Luv to see Stoke get something from LiverSox today
Parker and Manu both starting for Spurs
Off and running at the Em
The match kicks off from the Em. It kicked off a minute earlier from The SOL.
THe ESPN match is about a minute ahead of FSC....is it the match on the channel!!!
ooh, Arsenal break and Ramsay should have scored!
Nice pass by Arteta
That is a good question, UWS. It is not a guarantee as Arteta put Ramsey and a last minute tackle prevented a corner.
I checked and the match at The SOL started exactly sixty seconds earlier unless it is the channel.
Free kick chance for the Arse... will it be Arteta to take?
Arteta was fouled by Ashley Williams.
It is Arteta... into the wall
Arteta into the wall.
Bury have taken the lead at Rochdale .
I am sorry . Rochdale have taken the lead at Bury.
Big Nik is replacing Gyan in the starting lineup for Sunderland.
Nearly 1-0 to Swansea as Czezny made a close range save.
Stevenage have taken the lead at Oldham.
Worm easily catches the Arsenal cross.
The corner from Arteta is headed away by Ashley Williams.
A Sunderland free kick was headed just wide.
YESSSS!!!! ROSS MCCROMACK HAS GIVEN LEEDS THE LEAD VS PALACE.
I am back.. I got kicked off the net by my computer... I got the link and LOB back... thank goodness!!
Good news for Bob
Citeh have scored!!
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
Aguero with the goal
Oh dear.. Palace have equalized
Middlesbrough have taken the lead at Burnley, Watford have taken the lead at Reading, It is 1-1 bewteen sotton and Forest and 1-1 between the Hammmers and Pompey.
Nice save off the line by Swansea
I just saw that . That is bad news.
Welcome back, UWS. That was a great save by the keeper and the defender off the line.
Brad Friedel makes a great save at Molinuex
Heard Pompey took the lead but West Ham tied it up
my ss link is quite a bit behind the TV
I agree that Bob will be missed today.
When did Chelsea score... Terry
He scores with his second attempt.. BUGGER
Penalty to Citeh
Cjelski have taken the lead at the SOL. It was terrible Sunderland defending as they could not clear a routine free kick and JT scored at the far post with a mis-hit shot that was deflected off a defender on the line.
ANOTHER ONE MISSED!!!!
That is seven or eight for the season
Tevez is this weeks Shmuck!!
Everton have taken the lead against Villa minus Arteta and Beckford.
Everton take the lead against Villa
YES! STOKE HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD VS LIVERSOX.
Penalty to Stoke!!
Doesn't mean much this season... it is this time
ONE NIL TO STOKE!
There is a wild one at Gigg Lane as Bury are losing 1-3 at home to Rochdale with only 22 minutes played.
Which match are you watching?
I have the Arsenal match on
Jeff happy... Hartlepool are winning
Frimpong shot wide.
I am watching the same match, but happened to see the JT goal.
I have been switching back and forth on occasion.
Swansea have not conceded any first half goals this season. They have not scored at all.
Me too... I am able to rewind too
Oh dear... Leeds are now losing
Ashley Williams is booked for a foul on Arteta.
What has happened to Sunderland? They played very well against Liverpool and got a point... everything was looking up... then they lose at home to Newcastle and draw with Swansea.... COME ON BRUCIE... GET THEM GOING
Bob will not be pleased after a good start to the match.
Free kick chance for the Swans
Frimpong fouls Nathan Dyer just outside the box.
Free kick hit over the bar.. not a bad effort but no danger
Useless by Chelski old boy, Sinclair.
Sotton have taken the lead vs Forest.
Sotton are now beating Forest 2-1
Not looking good for McLaren.
Useless cross by RVP. He won't repeat the feat against San Marino when he scored four. It is slightly different opposition.
Celtic have taken the lead vs Motherwell.
The corner from RVP has been headed away.
Every Swansea match has been 0-0 at halftime this season.
United are down to third as I type
Typical Gunners. Too many two yard passes and they fail to work the keeper.
2 of the 3 have ended that way too
Will they be first if they beat Bolton?
As I type, the GD is equal between the two Manc teams
Boy.. Swansea was almost in there again
Swansea win a corner as the cross is deflected off of Gibbs.
The Gunners block a couple of shots off the corner.
Great tackle by Kos.
Cambridge are losing at home to Forest Green
Celtic are two up against Motherwell
Celtic now lead Motherwell 2-0
Another Swansea corner. This time off of Kos.
I think only the two Manc teams have 100% records in the entire country
The corner from Augustin is cleared at the third attempt.
Luton have taken the lead vs Darlington.
Blackburn and Arsenal is the 7:45 match on ESPN next week
United play Chelsea on Sunday
I am not sure. The two Manc teams are probably the only two.
GOAL for the ARSE... ARSE SHAVEN with the goal
WHATA DISASTER!!
Keeper collects the ball tries to roll it out to a defender and it hits his heal and drops at Arse Shaven's feet
YIKES
BLOODY HELL! WHAT A GIFT AS WORM AND AGUSTIN COMMIT A TERRIBLE BLUNDER AND ARSHAVIN SHOOTS INTO AN EMPTY NET DUE TO A POOR THROW FROM WORM.1-0 GUNNERS.
Juan Mata is down injured for Sunderland after what looked like a fair challenge by Bardsley.
That was terrible time to give up a goal; minutes before halftime. The first goal conceded in the first half by the Swans this season.
Hartlepool are two up
Two minutes of stoppage time at the Sol.
Big Nik heads well wide from a free kick.
With that gift goal, Arsenal have jumped up to 11th
Three minutes of stoppage time at The EM as Theo shoots well wide. Where are his shooting boots?
Personally, I don't think he owns any!
Halftime at The SOL as Chelski lead 1-0.
Franco Di Santo almost levels it at Citeh
Nathan Dyer has a shot deflected for a corner.
Half time in both TV matches.. the Big Uns both winning 1-0
I agree it's about time he bought some as The Gunners lead Swansea 1-0. I am not convinced with this Gunners performance.
Better news at Stoke where LiverSox are losing at half
It is 1-0 in every EPL except Wolves vs Spurs , which is 0-0.
As it stands... Wolves fourth and Stoke fifth!
Citeh, Chelsea and United ahead
Forest have tied it up at Sotton . It is now 2-2.
Benfica v United is on Wednesday on FSC
AC MIlan and Barca is on Tuesday
Will Swansea break their Prem Goal Duck in the next 45 minutes... no goals scored this season!!!
You are correct, UWS. The two Manc team are the only teams in the country with 100% records. Swansea is the only team that has not scored a league goal, but they are technically a foreign team. Is that correct? Every English team has scored at least two league goals.
I will need to record the CL matches as I will be at work. What a way to start the CL season.
Good point.. Swansea are foreign
I should be home for the United game. I can get home by 3. Tuesday I will be at one of the boys' games
The Europa League is on Thursday.
STILL...WHAT A MISTAKE BY SWANSEA' KEEPER
I have been impressed with Swansea's play though
I agree. The Swansea keeper had played well vs Citeh and saved a penalty vs Wigan that allowed them to draw 0-0.
The second half has kicked off from the SOL.
Yup which means two more matches Fulham Citeh and Sunderland Stoke will have to be moved to Sunday along with Spurs and Sox and United Chelsea
So, BBurn and Arsenal is on early which leaves only five prem games at the traditional kick off time... don't think there is a late one
The Em match is still on break... hope it isn't just FSC
Barnsley lead Sven's men 1-0.Now it is 1-1.
How about Shamrock Rovers and lucky Celtic? Will they play on Sunday too?
According to the Beeb, it IS still half time at the EM
We're off
The second half has kicked off from the EM.
Swansea have a chance to get a cross over but fails to beat the first man
Uh oh, link just went off
A weird clearance by Cattermole off a cross from Cashley that could have been an OG , but was a corner.
BUGGER.. STURRIDGE DOUBLES CHELSEA'S LEAD...
What a goal... beautiful backheal !!!
GOAL 2-0 CHELSKI AS STURRIDGE ROUNDS THE KEEPR AND THE DEFENDER IS JUST TOO LATE TO CLEAR IT OFF THE LINE. iT WAS ROUE ONE FOOTBALLL FROM CHELSKI.
Still no link
He didn't round the keeper... he backhealed it!
Stream 2 is working ... Blackpool score against Ipswich
I had to step away, but it seems as if Swansea have had a player down injured for a while.
I saw the replay and it was a great goal by Sturridge. Who needs Torres?
RVP volleys wide.
RVP tries a volley but doesn't connect very well
IT IS MUST BE LEEDS TIME NOW!!!!
Kos is booked for a foul on Sinclair just outside the box. The right decision.
Still just under 40 minutes for Arsenal to not get a red card
Free kick chance for Swansea
Wonder when Bellamy is going to come on for the Sox
oooh, Swansea hit the crossbar from the free kick
Nearly 1-1 as Szezny tips over the free kick by Sinclair.
I hope it is Leeds time.
Arsenal are starting to be a little iffy right now... good start by the Swans
Lansbury, on loan from Arsenal, has scored for the Hammers against Pompey
Again, the link is behind the TV... Swansea just hit the crossbar for them
ooh RVP hits the outside of the post
Evil Cardiff have taken the lead against Doncaster and RVP has a shot come off the outside of the post.
Arshavin shoots well wide from long range.
Still scoreless by Molineux... Parker has made a lot of difference!!!
Malouda is on for Sturridge.
Swansea deserve something from this match... if it wasn't for that blunder!
El Mohammady is on for Bardsley
Malouda nearly scores with his first touch as Mignolet makes a great save from his volley.
We really need LiverSox not to get anything today. This shows they aren't title contenders.. hopefully
Uh oh, Ipswich two down at BPool
I agree. I am not convinced with the Gunners. They are lucky to be ahead.
What is up with Merson!!!
Something has happened at Stoke.... LiverSox had about six chances... all missed
Tevez being replaced by Nasri with his hand wrapped up
Blackpool now lead Ipswich 2-0.
West Ham struggling at home again... Pompey tie it up
Villa have tied it up at Goodison
Liverpool have tied it up too.... BUGGERS
Benayoun is on for Arshavin. I would have started Benayoun.
Benayoun comes on for his Arsenal debut
CITEH ARE NOW TWO UP!!!
Nasri sets up Aguero's second
Citeh now lead Wigan 2-0.
COME ON LEEDS
Mark Gower makes his EPL debut at the age of 32 as he comes on for Augustien.
Spurs have taken the lead... Adebayor with a goal on his Spurs debut
It is Benayoun's Arsenal debut. Wenger should start him instead of Arshavin.
Rangel is booked for a foul on Theo. It seemed a fair challenge to me.
Another penalty.... Everton score this one
Sagna's cross eludes everyone.
Citeh now lead Wigan 3-0. They can;t seem to stop scoring.
Citeh are three up with an Aguero hat-trick!!
United will have to win by at least two later
Rooney has some catching up to do with Aguero too.... a hat-trick would be nice
The last time an EPL team did not score in it's first four games Newcastle under Soey.
Pompey are down to ten men... speaking of that... Arsenal still have 11
Torres is on for fellow Spaniard, Juan Mata.
Penalty to West Ham...Noble nets it
Will the Gunners really be that much better once Wilshere , Song , Vermaelen, and Rosicky return. I think Wilshere is the main loss.
LEEDS HAVE TIED IT UP... BECCHIO!!!
Arteta is booked for a poor foul on Nathan Dyer.
Ping Pong coming off being replaced by someone I haven't heard of
Coq Au Vin is on for Frimpong.
Stephen Dobbie is on for Joe Allen.
Crawley had started well in the league but are FIVE down at Morcombe
Celtic are four up
Anelka is on for Ramieu , who makes his Chelski debut. He was signed from Barcelona's B team.
Fantastic new from ER!
LET'S WIN IT LEEDS!
Montrose get their SIXTH red card in SIX games
Defoe double Spurs lead at Molineux
The player you referred to is Coquelin. He played in the 8-2 loss at OT and was dropped as a result.
It's happening so fast at the Nocito Sports Center that I can't keep up!
I am going to be listening to Five Live while the United are on... TalkSport have the match
West Ham are now 4-2 up
