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!
We're swinging into 2012 on the LOB with a full slate of tasty footie morsels this morning. We start bright and early with the Championship clash between Palace and Leicester and finish the day at the Emirates with Arsenal v. Fulham. Join me to toast the New Year properly.

No coverage of the early match, so I'm on the Sky Sports News link on My Premium TV for now.
Leicester have taken an early lead at Selhurst Park through Neil Danns.
0-1!
We're down to 11th with Leicester leapfrogging us with that goal. We desperately need a nice, tasty home win against Burnley today.
Good morning BD! I will chat with you until I have to leave for work in twenty minutes.
I should be able to join you for the late match at Craven Cottage and in the occasional pop in for the 10 AM matches.
Neil Danns has a brace now. Leicester are 0-2 up.
Morning, MUR - how's the first day back?
RUDDY NORAH! Leicester lead 0-2 at Palace,who have lost only once at home all season and as I type Palace score to pull it back to 1-2. Palace have lost only once at home all season and had only conceded six goals in eleven matches. Only a draw would suit Leeds as this match is a no win situation.
I have not left yet. will leave in about fifteen minutes.
Yes - Jonathan Parr has pegged one back for Palace. I'd love a score draw in that one.
Into stoppage time and hoping for a draw. That's about the best we can hope for.
I think your New Year's Resolution post will give me more to think about than the bloody inservice.I will definitely respond to it.
Halftime at Selhurst Park and the Foxes lead 1-2. I will make a quick lunch and head off to work. Also, the garage that was installed a month ago acted up, so Elizabeth will call the company if they're open today.The wheel came off. Not happy about that.
I'd love that. Sorry, though, that the in-service hasn't been more enlightening. I never liked the one's I had to attend. I'd love to see some research done on those events.
Cheers BD. I will catch you someway somehow at work.
Another halftime score is Rochdale 1 Preston 1. I know you were eager to find out about that one.
CHEERS BD!
Take care, mate.
The second half is about to kick off at Selhurst Park.
Hello BD. I am at work. Will check in periodically Still 1-2 at Selhurst Park. Read an article that said Roon row smoothed over.
Hey Fellas,
I am still gobsmacked that MUR has school. It is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY today
I will be around and about this morning.
I tried to get First Row going but it wouldn't connect
I have the Soccer Special going on mypremiumtv SkySportsNews link
Wolves Chelsea followed by Fulham Arsenal on FSC today
Macheda has joined QPR on loan today. Wonder when he can play.
Is there some time frame for each player before they can play. Landon was in the stands yesterday for Everton. I was January so why wasn't he available
The team news out of Elland Road today:
Leeds: Lonergan, Bruce, Kisnorbo, O'Dea, White, Townsend, Clayton, Thompson, Pugh, Becchio, Nunez. Subs: McCarthy, Brown, Sam, Forssell, McCormack.
Burnley: Grant, Edgar, Easton, Mee, Trippier, Wallace, Marney, McCann, Stanislas, Austin, Rodriguez. Subs: Amougou, Hines, Stewart, McDonald, Vokes.
Referee: M Brown
Morning, UWS - I was editing a friend's paper and I didn't notice that you had come on. How are you, mate?
Jeff is making the interesting point that Wolves' bench is stronger than Chelski's today, despite all of Roman's millions.
I am all right Bob but not happy about having to go back to work tomorrow!
I have the prem tv link going but I have some mysterious link going with sound!
SS are showing some great goals with Cashley, Jermaine and Bent discussing. Love the Neymar effort.
isn't it Cashley, Defoe and Carlton Cole
From LUFC.com: "United manager Simon Grayson rang the changes for the visit of Burnley, making no less than five as his side faced their second game in the space of 48 hours. New loan signing Andros Townsend came in for his debut while young midfielder Zac Thompson was called into the side. Alex Bruce was also handed his first start of the season while Luciano Becchio and Adam Clayton were both recalled."
Come on, you Whites!
Did you see that Leeds signed a Spurs winger
That's the bloke.. Andros Townsend
Leicester has run out 1-2 winners at Selhurst Park. Bugger!
Yeah - Grayson loves the loan signings around this time of year. I think it upsets the dressing room a bit. Robbie Rogers is expected to join the squad in the next week.
Macheda on the bench today for QPR
Quick pre-game action on FSC and we've kicked off at Molineux.
What do you make of that Macheda loan move? He was loaned out to a Serie A club last season, right?
I don't know what to make of it. He just doesn't seem to hack it at OT.
Did you listen to 606 on Saturday? A lot of chatter about Chelski's fortunes.
I did hear 606. What was said?
DIDN'T hear
Peterboro take the lead after 20 odd seconds against Brum
A lot of chat about whether AVB should sell off Torres and David Luiz. Fresh start. Or whether Roman should sack AVB. Chelski fans really restless.
Carilisle take the lead against the Blades
Swansea take the lead at the Villa
Swansea have scored early at Villa Park. Villa are obviously still celebrating the win over Chelski.
Again, no one else is saying it but I would take Torres!
He was brilliant for Liverpool... surely he still can play that way
Posh have taken an early lead against Brum.
Sheff Wed take the lead against Tranmere
BUGGER.. my premtv automatically switched to another page!!!
I don't know - he's a really expensive risk.
Yeah - it does that occasionally.
First Forest goal in 9 hours - they're 0-1 at Portman Road.
i have opened another link off of the wiz
Forest take the lead at Portman Road
As Chelsklad says, IPSWICH STINK
They Blades have tied it up sharpish
Oh - Mata had a chance one on one with Hennessey. The keeper stood up well.
Wednesday are now two up
Shame - I had the Blades, don't you know?
QPR take the lead against the Cannaries
Crazy boy Barton with the goal
Lamps with a chance... he would have scored that one in years passed
I want a Leeds goal! Come on!
Boro are playing in Blackpool today. I didn't know they had overtaken the Hammers
Doncaster have taken the lead against Barnsley
Cardiff take the lead against Reading
Donny are 1-0 up over local rivals Barnsley who tonked us at the weekend.
Goals really flying in in the Championship now. I want one for my Mighty Whites at ER.
I am rooting for your lot!
Blades fall behind again!
Crouchie scores for Stoke at Ewood.... how can Rovers do that after their Anfield and OT trips!
Lovely - couldn't happen to a more evil side. Come on, Carlisle!
That would be true irony - Blackburn lose today at home to Stoke and the pressure piles back on Steve Kean.
As for Mighty Whites.. these days it would be better to say SoSo Whites!
Cardiff double their lead
Cardiff are 2-0 up over Reading now. That's good for us, I reckon.
Boom boom, mate. But put a sock in it, won't you?
Leaders Celtic take the lead at Dunfermiline
I want them to be Mighty... I promise.. but losing 4-1 isn't exactly mighty... my lot lost at home to the bottom club!!!
Hello BD and UWS. I am taking a quick peek. We are watching a movie to eat up most of the morning.
Whatcha watching, MUR?
we need to be better on Wednesday and preserve our undefeated away record.
Waiting for Superman.
Sroke doing what we can't, whic is take the lead against Blackburn.
Interestingly two of the bottom three sides in the Championship - Forest and Donny are winning right now. The third, Coventry, are holding West Ham at Upton Park. Those results will draw Milwall, Bristol City and (gulp!) Ipswich back into the relegation fight.
Ipswich vs Forest is a relegation six pointer.
Things starting to boil over a bit at Molineux. Karl Henry clipped Torres there and becomes the third Wolves player into the book.
Can't stay too long as it seems to be a VIP event. wer have the Superintendent, the deputy ,and all three administrators.Not sure why?
Paddy Kisnorbo has already been substituted - must be for an injury. Midfielder Lloyd Sam is on for him.
Just like London buses - Forest now have two goals at Ipswich.
Still 0-0 at ER.
COME ON YOU WHITES!
fOREST NOW L;EAD 0-2 AT PORTMAN rOAD.
This new winger we've got on loan from Spurs Andros Townsend has been quite lively in the first half.
Hope He can provide a spark for Leeds.
I will bugger off and checkback in a while
Cheers BD and UWS.
It seems like a kick-fest at Molineux. Now it's Kevin Doyle into the book.
Burnley down to ten!!
Header at the far post well saved by Petr Cech.
Way hay - Burnley are down to ten men in a feisty affair. Great chance for us.
Oh - free kick over for Wolves and it was a free header in the box. Should have been a goal. There was another yellow in that incident - Romeu maybe?
Joey Barton has been sent off at Carrow Road!
Goalscorer Barton.... a straight red
It's our old boy Bradley Johnson who was involved in that incident with bad boy Joey. He sold a Barton headbutt.
How can players get themselves even close to headbutting someone... THUGS!
Stupidity, that's it.
Cashley should have gotten at least a yellow earlier.
His tackle was rash and then he kicked him on the ground. Doyle go the card for his reaaction
I want a goal! Come on!
Cardiff are three up
I agree - that was an odd decision.
How do you follow the match at ER?
Two more goals for Cardiff and they'll leapfrog West Ham into third.
On the LUFC.com website.
Love to see Chelsea not make the CL
I'll take the top four going into today
Both Mancs clubs and both N. London clubs
Rangers take the lead through ex Man and Leeds Utd player David Healey
I think it is him
Goal at Loftus Road... to Norwich!
David "bloody" Healey. Grrrr!
Well done, the Canaries.
I am going to see if it is him!
He was a untouchable as a youngster for United until they finally let him go to Preston
Celtic two up
Another goal for Crouchie
BLOODY HELL!
It is him
Crouchie has scored a brace now. Stoke 2-0 up!
I'm not surprised - he's a journeyman footballer at best.
Villa win at the Bridge and are losing at home to Swansea
Blackburn win at OT and are losing at home to Stoke
IT IS NOT THE MANAGER... ITS THE PLAYERS!
Again, he was going to be a star at OT according to SAF
Reading have pegged one back in Cardiff. 3-1.
It seems to be all Leeds pressure at the moment. Would love to go in 1-0 up at the interval.
Half time around the country
Goals will be scored by the team in white in the second half in the city of Leeds down a road called Elland!
Half time at Molineux - 0-0.
Bloody hell - the Blades have equalized again. 2-2.
Pugh has gone into the book right on the stroke of half-time. A lot of stoppage time for the Kisnorbo injury.
A bit of the Marching on Together going in the flat now.
We love you, Leeds Leeds Leeds!
Matty Jarvis on for Wolves for the second half. Chelski about to get us underway with the two Spaniards up front.
I am back from the loo, 2-0 to Swansea
Wayne Routledge scoring against his old club. Jeff says it's his first Premiership goal!
Blackpool take the lead against Boro
Derby take the lead at Hull
That's nice - Derby have taken the lead at Hull. This would be an excellent time for us to go on and notch an easy win. Come on, you Whites!
One goal and we'd be back up to 7th and a point off the playoffs. Come on!
Sotton are down to ten men
Early stages of the second half. According to the SS reporter, Burnley are acquitting themselves well.
Bugger.. Chelski score
Ramieres
GOAL! Ramires scores for Chelski froma set piece.
cool finish
Pool are two up against Boro
Poor defending there from the Wolves backfour as the corner comes over from Mata. It dropped finally to Ramires after Terry nearly got onto it and he drove it into the top of the net.
Interestingly, the whole side went over to celebrate with AVB.
Blackpool are now 2-0 up. Lua Lua with that goal.
Rangers are two up
Hate the Chelsea celebration with the bench
Act as if you have scored before!
Chelski are back up into the CL slots after that goal, ahead of Arsenal's late match with Fulham.
Pompey take the lead
Fletcher coming on... headed goal about to happen
Let's hope.
Basil Fawlty would be pleased Torquay to take the lead
In the Devon Derby no less!
DId you see that MSG has been taken off of TWC because of a dispute so TW are giving us some channels free for a month
Gol and FSC PLus is included.
I have the regular FSC PLus but not the HD version
Right now, it is Villa Swansea on.
Maybe there will be some championship games on
THe Football League Show is on at 8 tonight
Looks like it is on nightly
Really? I noticed about MSG because TW has been running negative ads about them here. I'll definitely check out the FSC Plus.
The Hammers take the lead
Cheers, mate. I'll check that out. I'll hope for a Leeds goal or two to watch tonight. Come on, you Whites!
That was bound to happen.
Again, I have no idea why it isn't HD
Blackburn get a goal back against Stoke
Torquay are two up
Brighton take the lead against Sotton
Blackburn are back in it. Either the Yak or Goodwillie have claimed it.
1-2
I need a goal, I need a goal, I need a goal!
The hour mark - probably time for a change or two for us. McCormack on for Pugh perhaps?
Crikey - Blackpool are 3-0 up against Boro!
Hello lads. Back for a quick peek. I still see it's 0-0 at ER and 0-1 to Chelsea.
The top four in the Championship are starting to pull away from the pack with several sides competing for the last two playoff spots.
It looks like a great day for WHR as the Hammers are winning with Sotton and Middlesborugh losing.
Bit of a waste there from Mata. He interchanged well with Torres but then pulled his shot wide at the near post.
It looks like Swansea are heading for their first away win of the season. I hope they don't blow it like they did at Wolves.
Leeds beginning to throw the kitchen sink at Burnley according to the SS reporter.
Welcome back, MUR!
BLOODY HELL
LEEDS ARE LOSING!!
SORRY MATE
Lovely jubbly - Carlisle back in front.
ARRGGGHGGGHGHGHGHGHHGHG!!!!!
0-1 down!
Welcome back MUR
How can you be working on a Federal Holiday!!!
What the hell is going on at Elland Road!
BUGGER! BURNLEY TAKE THE LEAD AT ER!
Sorry Bob!
Plymouth get a goal back against Torquay
The independent republic of Texas has always made up it's own rules, eh?
We continue to struggle on 35 points.
BIG BAD TEXAS!!!
Sotton are two down
Good day for WHU
Thanks lads.Not sure. I am not happy and all we are doing is watch a bloody movie.It seems like an infomercial for charter schools.
We're now in the bottom half - 13th!
Ipswich get a penalty goal to be back into the match
Brighton are 2-0 up the southern derby.
It seems that way . They think they know it all even if they do things worse than everyone else.
Ipswich have got a penalty back at Portman Road. 1-2 there.
Pompey double their lead against Watford
Ipswich pull a goal back vs Forest,but trail 1-2.
Come on WOLVES!!!
Boring, boring Chelski look as if they're going to coast to three points from their trip to Molineux today.
Welll stated , BD and UWS!
Pompey are 2-0 up over Watford.
I will bugger off so and be back for Fulham vs Arsenal. That is when I am having lunch.
Cheers lads!
Mikkel Forsell has come on for Becchio. We're really scraping it today.
What time is it, UWS?
That would be LEEDS TIME
Andros Townsend continues to be lively. Would love a debut goal right about now.
Cheers, mate!
Find FLETCHER'S HEAD!!!
Forest get their two goal lead back
Gaol at Loftus Road... to Norwich!!!
Ross McCormack on for Yorkshire Nani. He hasn't scored in yonks after being the top scorer in the league. Another one today would be priceless.
