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 an FA Cup quarterfinal triple header as I am up since I could not sleep. The first two matches are on FSC + , which are the Evil Blades vs Charlton and Hull City vs Sunderland disrespectively. The final match is the repeat of the last cup final from the Etihad on FS2. Unless you get those channels you will need to watch on a link. Finally, we lost an hour due to daylight savings time. Rather lovely.

I have a link from sunny Bramall Lane about ten minutes in and still 0-0. I would favor the Blades as it's head tennis in the Charlton box and volleyed wide
Still dark here due to the time change.
Charlton bottom of the Championship . They have three games in hand as they are four points from safety. They have midweek and weekend games the rest of the season, so a replay is unwelcome.
The Blades are 11th in League One after being in the relegation zone most of the season.
I have been around this morning doing stuff and following the footer on the computer
I watched Sheffield United score to quick goals in the second half to make their way all the way to Wembley
I am now watching Hull City do exactly the same thing with two quick goals and are they on their way down Wembley Way?
The third match is on FS I think so hopefully I'll be able to watch that
I have the SIx Nations game on the computer too
England leading Wales 13-9 in the first half
Ruddy Norah… THREE NIL HULL!!
TERRIBLE BACKPASS BY CATTERMOLE!!
Straight to Fryatt… GAME SET AND MATCH
The draw is going to be huge
If the draw keeps Citeh and Arsenal apart then 7th place would go the EL. If they play each other, then only 6th gets the EL spot.
Of course, if CIteh lose… the same happens
Try to England!
Sweet Chariot being sung at Twickenham
20-9
I was wrong… No match on the telly today
FOX ARE IDIOTS!
I used to love them and now I hate em
Half time at Twickenham
England 20 Wales 15
So, in the Quarters, all the home teams have won… let's hope Wigan buck the trend
Into 3 added minutes
Hull are going Wembley
Brucie's legs are all a trembly
La la la la

Today is the day they have to give the Cup back
Must be really annoying to the Citeh fans
Here is the draw
Ian Wright and SWP
Hull City vs Sheffield United
Manchester City or Wigan vs Arsenal

So, Brucie beats his old team Sunderland

Home team Arsenal scored 4
Home team Hull scored 3
Home team Sheff Utd scored 2
SO Home team Citeh to score 0… or FIVE
So, who will be playing the Europa League next season HULL CITY OR SHEFFIELD UNITED… OR WIGAN!
England 26-15
An all Yorkshire semi
I though Hull was close to Newcastle and Sunderland
Thought
Wigan holding their own so far.. just like the Final last year
I thought Citeh would all out for revenge!
They beat Wigan 5-0 in the League Cup this season
BTW, MUR has no internet until Tuesday!!
He will be missed
England 29- Wales 18
Burnley came from one down to beat Blackburn at Ewood Park
It is the first time in THIRTY-FIVE years they have won this fixture!
They are EIGHT points ahead of Derby and Nine ahead of QPR(who has a game in hand)
Leicester are 5 points ahead of Burnley
If England win today then it will be
Ireland France and England all on 6 points with one game to play
England visit Italy on the last weekend as France host Ireland
My ITV link from the match is still on and now it is Roger Moore as Bond in Live and Let Die… I've left it on!
Next weekend's early match is Hull City vs Man City
Cup Final preview?
Love to see Citeh get knocked out so they can't get the Treble or Double… and lot of you wouldn't get points in the PPP
Cup Footie, Six Nations Rugby and Bond
MUR called me
LOB's Top Multitasker
Paul Mac just started singing
LIVE AND LET DIE!!!
England still up by 11 with 11 minutes to go
25 minutes gone in Manchester… Citeh have not had it all their own way
Wigan have a penalty
Demy fouls
Gomez comes up to take it…GOAL!!!!!
First time a home team has been behind all weekend in the Quarters
Of course, Citeh could still score EIGHT!
Remember, they were two down at half to Watford
Nasri gets a yellow
Still an hour to go but Citeh seems rattled
Last team to win a Cup tie at the Etihad was United
The day Scholes came out of retirement
3 nil up at a half… won 3-2
Handbags at the Etihad
Citeh are rattled
England have beaten Wales 29-18
Wigan need to keep their heads
Citeh and their fans are starting to whine about everything
Starting to give away a lot of fouls
Still got all three links going.. boy am I a geek!
With England winning, they win the triple crown.. beating Ireland, Wales and Scotland
Only loss was a last minute loss to France
Boy are there a lot of Yank Tanks in the Bond film
How did people drive them!!!
I fear Citeh will come out on fire in the second half but right now we have just entered 2 minutes of added time
England will win the Six Nations if they win and France beat Ireland
Watford hit the post late on to almost go three nil up
Wigan are threatening to extend their lead at the end of the half… two corners cleared… and the half time whistle blows
Wigan are half way there
Teams out for the second half
We're off
TWO NIL!!!!
A cross comes across the box Perch beats Demichelis to the ball… Another mistake…play him every week I say
Wigan hits the post… offside any way
Citeh are rattled!!
Come on Wigan, don't let them back in
Citeh is making THREE changes at the 50th minute
Silva, Dzeko and Milner about to come on
You know Citeh are going to come back and win this
No matter how little time is left
If they score one, they'll score another soon after
Remember QPR in the league in '12, last week's Cup Final
YaYa has been replaced! Very surprising!
Yaya, Navas and Negredo were the players coming off… some dangerous players not on the field any more!!
Milner makes a run in the box
Wigan survive… all started from a Spurs-like defensive mistake
Whichever team scores the next goal will win this game
Just over half an hour to go
Dzeko hits a header against the foot of the post
Their first real good effort on goal
I KNOW they're going to come back!!
Aguerro with a chance but hits it right at Carson.
His first save of the game
Again, it doesn't matter if Citeh score in the 85th or 90th minute…they'll score again!
Please keep them out
GOAL.. BUGGER
NASRI WITH A SHOT FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX… BUGGER
Remember the goal that was disallowed against Citeh for Newcastle because some player was 'in Hart's eye sight' in an offside position… well Lescott was REALLy in Carson's way… no one said anything!!
Surprised they haven't scored yet
Michael Owen talks about Lescott being in the way
Just wide by Aguero.. offside anyway
15 to go
He was onside btw
10 to …. and Dzeko has a chance from 5 yards but the defender gets the foot in just in time
Wigan still have to try and score
Dzeko heads just wide… that was VERY CLOSE
83rd minute
I don't want to watch because I know what is going to happen!
Under 5
I keep leaving the computer.. I don't want to watch
3 minutes of the 90 left
Into the 90th minute
5 ADDED MINUTES
WHY
Fortune with a chance
Saved
Corner kick
4 to go
Free kick chance for Citeh centralish… 30 out
Silva to take…POOR
Straight out
2 and half to go
1 to go and Wigan break… ball in the corner
Throw in deep for CIteh.. last chance saloon
Corner
Keeper coming up
10 seconds to go
Cleared
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS OVER
CITEH ARE OUT!!
THE HOLDERS ARE STILL IN!!!!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!
The love affair with Wigan and the FA Cup continues!
Arsenal are heavy favorites now!
Arsenal
Hull
Wigan
Sheffield United
Who'da thunk it
The defender that made the great tackle with the Dzeko,chance, Emerson Boyce, was interviewed and he had to be told they were playing Arsenal in the Semi… he said.. we don't make anything easy
Massive pressure on Arsenal to break their trophy drought now
Goalscorer Perch has to be told they play the Arsenal.. he says brilliant
Great day of Cup Football
Very happy with all the winners…yes even the Evil Blades
Glad to see a third tier team make the Semi
Glad to see Sunderland lose.. because of their fans can't be bothered to go to their games
Glad to see Citeh not winning the double!
Take care boys
