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 a typical Saturday Prem triple header as United kick off early at Turf Moor to face newly promoted Burnley. This is followed by Man Citeh vs Stoke and concludes with an intriguing encounter at Goodison Park as Everton hosts Chelsea. Also, if we can wish Elizabeth a Happy Birthday today.

United actually lost 1-0 at Turf Moor the last time the clubs met.
NO REPEATS UNITED!
Angel Di Maria makes his United debut today. He needs to maker an instant impact after some terrible United performances, especially the 4-0 thrashing at the Fake Dons.
The teams are heading out of the tunnel
They're off from Turf Moor
COME ON MAN UNITED!
A very scenic view for spectators on a beautiful late summer day. I hope it's a beautiful, scenic United performance for once
A stupid foul by Phil Jones on Trippier just outside the United box.
OH! The free kick from former United trainee, David Jones is off the bar.
BLOODY HELL!
A horrible back pass from Evans and De Gea had to rush out to block from Jutkiewicz.
A United break led by Roon , who finds Di Maria, who starts his United career with a horrible pass.
Why is Evans starting? Doesn't LVG remember that even the mugs of the Fake Dons exposed him?
WOW! Roon has been at United for a decade. Brilliant the first half of the decade and frustrating the second half,.
WAY HAY! Forest take the lead at Not a Big Club.
Useless by Roon. There's the frustrating part. A long United possession then Roon gives it away . The Burnley break , but De Gea comes out to gather as a long ball for Danny Ings was too long.
OH! The first sign of excellence from Di Maria as he plays a superb long diagonal ball for RVP, who had his shot blocked by former United trainee, Tom Heaton.
BLOODY HELL! Johnny not on the Spot seems intent on giving Burnley a goal as he stumbled and De Gea had to come out and clear. Doesn't LVG remember MK?
Now Roon stumbles as he received a p[ass from Di Maria and should have been able to shoot at goal./
Sorry. it was Mata, but it's so easy to blame Roon.
Forest are one up at the half.
Scott Arfield heads wide off a cross from Jutkiewicz after some suicidal defending from Valencia.
De Gea is forced to punch away a powerful shot from David Jones as Di Maria gifted him possession. A Burnley short corner is gifted to United.
OH! Scott Arfield went past Tyler Blackett then had a shot deflected for a corner. Then, head tennis off the corner from Matty Taylor as it was headed on by Ben Mee, but a foul was called on Scott Arfield.
Fletch booked for a foul on Dean Marney.
It's contagious as De Gea is forced to cl;ear a horrible back pass from Yashley.
A nice break from United led by Roon and Di Maria, but a horrible cross from Mata , straight to Tom Heaton.
BLOODY HELL! Ben Mee gifts possession to Roon, who picks out RVP, who play a useless ball.
a minute of added time.
United win a late corner, their first of the match
The corner from Yashley is straight to Tom Heaton.
It's 0-0 at the half. Simply not good enough from United.
BLOODY NORAH ! Neil Warnock returns as Palace manager. I'm pleased I picked them to be relegated.
Lovely. The United commercial is on.
The second half is underway from scenic Turf Moor.
STOP SUCKING, UNITED!
A COLLECTOR'S ITEM! A nice tackle by Evans that prevents a Burnley chance.
A poor back header from Yashley, but he clears it away.

In the words of UWS, WHERE'S THE QUALITY?

BLEEDIN' HECK! Anderson is on after a horrible performance at the Fake Dons . He's on for Di Maria.
I don't get that one.
A horrible foul by Jutkiewicz on Fletych. Why wasn't he booked. It was worse than the one for which Tyler Blackett was booked.
Bob will be pleased to hear that Forest have won 0-1 at Hillsborough. UWS too as he picked Forest for promotion.
RVP is off after a really poor performance and is replaced by Wellie, who may be playing his last game for United.

Valencia wins another United corner.
Anderson takes it short to Mata and his cross is headed away. Burnley seem content to hold out for a 0-0 draw.
Absolutely atrocious cross from Valencia.
Wellie does well to block the clearance from Tom Heaton.
Valencia wins a corner off of Ben Mee. Jan is on for Mata. A little late for this change.
A poor corner from Anderson is kept in by Wellie and that should have been a penalty for United as Ashley Barnes used his hand to block an effort from Yashley. Stephen Reid on for Matty Taylor.
Jason Shackell heads on a free kick from Trippier then United clear
Four minutes of stoppage time.
Roon does well to find Valencia down the right , but a pathetic pass is cleared
Useless cross by wellie and that should do it.,
United are held 0-0 at Turf Moor as Chris Foy blows the final whistle. Simply good enough from United , who are still winless in competitive matches under the reign of King Louis. At least they did better than their last visit to Turf Moor.
Morning, MUR! Thanks for keeping the home fires burning this morning. Sadly, I think you may be flying solo today.
Kate and I are heading to the Finger Lakes district today and, if all goes well, we'll be engaged when I check in with you tomorrow. Wish me luck, mate!
That looked to be another disappointing performance, mate. Sorry about that.
Good morning Bob. Congratulations and best of luck. You deserve it.
To be honest, I am leaving at halftime of the 10 AM matches because we are going up to the in-laws for Elizabeth's birthday.
