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 not too often we've got a load of Premiership and Championship matches on the docket on a Tuesday afternoon, so let's enjoy them, eh? The big Sky match today is Citeh at Goodison Park whilst I'll have my eyes peeled on St. Andrews where my LUFC buddies will be taking on Birmingham City. Join me for all the action today.

I'm at work trying to follow everything happening today, and I mean everything. Rumors, rumors and more rumors!
Early goals in the Championship - Ipswich are 1-0 up against table toppers West Ham.
And Burnley are 0-1 up against hapless Forest.
Afternoon, Someone. Lots of rumors bouncing around, eh?
Barnsley are 1-0 up against Derby now.
Boring, boring Premiership - no goals as of yet with fifteen minutes played in three of the matches.
Just a few. The only one that may pan out is Jelanik, which is good and fine by itself.
The Yorkshire Evening Post are reporting that LUFC have turned down an offer for Snoddy. Phew - I was really worried when he wasn't on the squad list for tonight's match.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Ross has opened the scoring for us against Birmingham. His 16th goal in the league this season. Marvelous!
Hey Bob
I was home for the kick off but my computer is acting up
Still scoreless for my lot... well done for yours!
It is cold in Manchester... it isn't in Glenville
Well in, Dave - great to have you on board. You lot have just kicked off so it's early doors.
We're remarkably up into the playoff spots again. Who would have thunk it?
Again, United aren't playing with too much pace!
Sotton are losing at Ipswich?
Forest are losing at home to Burnley
Barnsley are now 2-0 up against Derby.
No goals in the Prem... come on boys
Actually, it's the Hammers who are losing at Ipswich!
Boring, boring Premiership.
Did most games kick off at 7:45?
Useless by Smailling, United save it
West Ham are losing at Ipswich not Sotton
All but the two Manc clubs kicked off at 7:45. You lot and Everton v. Citeh were 8pm.
Two Championship matches started at 8pm.
Spurs have scored the first Premiership goal of the afternoon. Bale has cut in from the left and scored his 8th.
Spurs take the lead thru a Bale goal
Cone you Toffees!!
Barnsley are cruising it now. 3-0.
Have United had a shot yet!
Barnsley are three up against Derby
Another goal at Elland Road... sorry mate
Bugger! Brum are back in it at ER.
1-1. Zigic header.
Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and Man U
Those are Spurs next four games!
VDV had to come off hurt
Surely players paying tonight won't be sold.. Berbatov to stay?
Back down to 10th again - bugger.
United don't seem to know how to get passed the Stoke defense
Spurs are two up
oooh, just wide by Scholes!!
That's the way I'd interpret it.
It was deflected
I think that was United's first shot of the game... TWENTY MINUTES
All Chelsea at Swansea
Cardiff have taken the lead at Southampton
2nd v 3rd
Cardiff have taken the lead at St. Mary's and will swap places with Soton.
Watford take the lead at Millwall
Spurs up 2-0 on a goal by Modrich.
It's incredible that last year's leading scorer is in exile.
A goal at Swansea.... to SWANSEA
Watford have taken the lead at Evil Millwall.
Swansea are 1-0 over Chelski!
Do you mean Defoe, Someone? I think Harry has decided that Jermain isn't part of his plans going forward. I don't see how Saha is an improvement, though.
So, I am going to start a rumor
Is Rooney hurt or is he being SOLD!
Don't understand Everton getting rid of striker when they can't score goals!
Useless cross again by a United wide man
I'm talking about Tevez. Either no one wants him or he does not have the ambition to go anywhere. What's up there?
Go Swansea!
Find someone Valencia!!
Can you believe I have a choice of three matches on the TV at the same time??
Ipswich are two against the Hammers
Again... not happy with the performance... who cares about the possession... we've created nowt
Good afternoon BD and UWS. Time to book that summer vacation to Makchakhala.
I am really looking for United to gain tonight in the table
West Ham get a goal back just before half
West Ham have got one back. 2-1 now at Portman Road.
Ipswich are only one spot out of the bottom three
Well, in terms of Tevez, I reckon that a lot of clubs understand that Carlito seems to have one good year in him and then he starts to throw the toys out of the pram. Who would want that?
Again, this is not good enough
I am watching United vs Stoke on espn3.com with Ian and Macca.
Hey MUR
Not happy
If United lose then some of their players need to ply their trade in Mackckahala or Kamchatka.
ooh, just wide from Carrick!
Ipswich score again.. three goals in a couple of minutes!
Bloody hell - Ipswich have scored again. Chopra wins a pen! 3-1!
Just wide by Carrick as he was put through by Drac. The orange ball should have been in the back of the net.
Where is Hernandez? He's done nothing!
What is the latest news on Snoddy?
Leeds all square at half
We always clobber Stoke at OT. What seems to be the problem tonight?
No one wants to comment on my rumor making???
PENALTY TO UNITED!!!!!!!!
Penalty to United!
I think it was a pen.. who takes it.. I would guess Berbs
PENALTY UNITED AS IT APPEARS THAT PARK WAS FOULED BY PENNANT IN THE BOX AND WILKINSON HAS BEEN BOOKED FOR DISSENT.
Latest is that the club turned down two offers for him so far. He's playing tonight. Only three and a half hours left of the window. Phew!
Jelavic to Everton is a done deal. Four and a half year contract. This makes the past it Saha more than expendable.
No.. it is Hernandez... come on ...YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicharito scores! United will go in at half-time 1-0 up.
YES!!!! CHICHARITO SENDS SORENSEN THE WRONG WAY FROM THE SPOT.1-0 UNITED.
My link SS link is slightly ahead of ESPN!!!
Let's hope it is more than one
I saw your rumor about Roon. Since Arshavin got sent to Mackchackla (serves him right), then Roon should be off to Kamchatka.How does that sound?
I was surprised to see Saha off to Spurs. I bet you are pleased to see the back of him, Someone. He should be a benchwarmer at Spurs.
Did Arse Shaven hehehehe move from Arsenal
Afternoon, MUR - sorry, I didn't see you come on at first.
Some bloke has handcuffed himself to a post
What a ninny
I wanted to like Saha but he was rarely fit, and he's really lost his skill this season. I do not know why Spurs want him, but that's not my problem. I hope this means Stracqualursi will get some more time out on the pitch too.
Yes. He signed for some Russian club called Mackchakla or something like that.Gooner will be pleased.
Everton gets some unpronounceable foreigner from Rangers
Handcuffed to a post at Goodison?!? Is he an actor auditioning for one of Kenwright's musicals?
The bloke is still at the goal... IDIOT
SS, would you want to see Pineaar back?
No problem ,BD. I have been reading your transfer window posts, but have not responded as I have been busy today.
One minute of stoppage time.
I think that's absolutely brilliant. Too bad he's not a streaker - that would be even better!
We need a couple of goals from Everton and and six more from us and we'll be on top
Where's the arse's key? Sheesh.
I would not mind seeing Pienaar back. I have an feeling Rodwell's going to be sold this summer.
I think BD posted that we3 signed some under 17 international from Citeh. It is a surprise and doesn't make much sense.
1 added minute at OT
Who knows how much at Goodison
Half time
Halftime and 1-0 to United.I hope we score more in the second half.
I am surprised to see swansea leading Chelsea 1-0 at the half.
Bugger... Liverpool take the lead... Andy Carroll with the goal
Glad for Carroll - I still hope he regains his form.
Phil Thompson is at the Spurs match but starts commenting about the Pool goal
Me too, I think he could be great for England.. big center forward would scare the pants off other teams
Andy Carroll actually scored a goal? I thought he mught be leaving during the January transfer window.
From Twitter: Why did that fan handcuff himself to the net during the everton/city match? Coz he was lonely & wanted Kompany.
Try the veal...
He has the potential to be a great scorer. I am not sure how he fits ionto Liverpool's plans if Kenny plans to go with Suarez and ball hog up front.
Boom, Boom Someone. There should be plenty of Kompnay at the local jail!
Away we go for the second half
Come on United!
Come on EVERTON!
Penalty at St. Marys... the host convert it!
1-1
I need United to get an early goal and win by a hatful please
I'm off to set up my class. Cheerio lads!
Liverpool are two up... at least it is against Wolves
Take Care Bob
I have class tonight too
Burnley miss a pen at Forest
I don't think we're missing Roon.. he's has been just as bad
A goal at Elland Road.... to Birmingham.. not good for Bob
Watford are two up at the Den
Underway at Goodison... keep your handcuffs to yourself
YES!!
Another pen for United... come on... score!
Berbs to take this one.... YES!!!!!!!
Nice pen... keeper went the right way but right in the corner
Spurs are three up
I saw that we won another penalty.
Still not too impressed. We have just scored two pens
Oh dear, Leeds are 1-3 down
Ipswich are 4-1 against the Hammers!
Of course, Ipswich concede late goals by the bucket load
Bale's brace makes it 3-0 Spurs.
Both pens were dead certs
United almost in again.. come on... open the floodgates
My apologies for being away so long. Espn3 was buggering out , but am now on firstrow sports. I missed the second penalty.
Forest are now two down at home!
Enjoy the class Bob. Cheers!
2 hours to go to the window shuts
LOB was acting up here too, but is now working.
STAY AT LEEDS SNODDY!
Looks like Pavla is off to Locamotive Moscow
Cameron Jerome on for Crouch.
Gordon Bennett.. Brum have four!!
Pavs will not be a loss to Spurs.I guess Saha is his replacement.
Bloody Norah - I've only just gone off to set up my class for five minutes, I come back and Brum have scored three! It's 1-4! Grrrrrrr!
Derby get a goal back at Barnsley.. still down 3-1
BLOODY HELL! Sorry about that Bob.
Come on United.. .these guys took the first points off of us this season
Ben Amos has been a virtual passenger on his EPL debut. I was surprised to see him start tonight. Are you surprised,UWS?
I guess there was a rumor of Rooney... he just tweeted to say that he is staying for a long time
Coventry take the lead at Blackpool
Coventry is the only team in England with no away win this season
What a pathetic short corner from Stoke.You can tell they are not used to those short corners or any short passes.
How Coventry have fallen!
Should Ben Amos have a space heater in his goal? He has had so little action.
I still believe that we ship Roon to some Russian outpost.
Knock it off Stoke
A dangerous free kick cross and then a header on target
COME ON UNITED
Ben Amos was finally forced to make a save as he caught that Jerome header off a Pennant cross.
Steve will want Chelsea to drop all three points tonight
Amos did better than Twilight would have done.Not sure he's ready to be the first choice United keeper.
Liverpool are now three up
Kuyt with Liverpool's third
GIBSON!!!
Goal at Goodison... TO EVERTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UNITED OLD BOY GIBSON!!!!
And then they were tied!!!
Why are we sitting on our lead. We need to go for a third then a fourth goal.
Come on United... make this one safe!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! DARREN GIBSON JUST SIGNED FROM UNITED PUTS EVERTON IN THE LEAD VS CITEH. HE'S STILL HELPING US AND ON HIS DEBUT!
I have no idea!
We still need another five goals to go top on goal difference. Is that correct?
We just need a six goal swing
Wigan get a goal goal back at WHL
Thanks UWS. Due to technical difficulties with my school computer, I am not accessing the scores. It's great to have the Nocito sportscenter at times like this.
Old Trafford crowd singing there's only one Daren Gibson
I am here for you
Man Utd confirm signing of some swiss kid from Citeh
Don't see how signing Saha will help Spurs challenge for the title . As SS said that's their problem.
Was that another penalty???
United passing too much.. SHOOT!!
Cheers UWS.I did read that they signed some Swiss U-17 international. I don't see the logic in that one.
Free kick chance for United... who should take it
I think that might have been another foul by Walters. Seemed a genuine shout to me.
Cashley is off!!!
Chelsea down to ten men!!
Chelsea have been poor apparently
Hernandez of for Pogba
Paul Pogba is on for Chicharito. I think he's a young French player. I saw him play last year vs Crawley in the cup.
There was talk of him going to Chelsea
ooh, Park almost in
Scholes into the wall off the free kick. Love hearing that news about Cashley . Excellent!
Delap is coming on... keep away from long throws please
That should have been 3-0 , but Park mis-hit that shot off the pass from Valencia
Delap for Fuller.. I agree. No long throws. I am not sure how Amos would handle those.
Lost my SS link!
Nice play by Pogba.. Come on United... I want a third
Wilkinson heads out the cross from Pogba for a corner.
Same here.No it's back.
United take a short corner won off another Pogba cross.
I don't think United have really played that well
ooh, Pogba almost in.. he has made an impact
Pogba has a shot deflected for a corner off a short corner. Wilkinson to the rescue again.
They have been okay, but not at their best. United is doing just enough to get three points .
A cross by Kenwyne Jones lands in the side netting and gives Amos some diving practice.
Bugger.. ten men Chelsea equalize!
Final
Wolves 0 Liverpool 3
BUGGER!!! Chelsea have tied it up at Swansea as Bosingwa scored.
Huth is booked for a nasty challenge on Evra.
