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!

Since there is nothing at stake for Woy, he might well use this as an occasion to cap some new talent and have a look. Here's the team news:
England: Hart, Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Shaw, Delph, Shelvey, Milner, Sterling, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney.
Subs: Gibbs, Butland, Walcott, Stones, Jagielka, Vardy, Kane, Mason, Barkley, Heaton.
Switzerland: Sommer, Lichtsteiner, Klose, Rodriguez, Schar, Inler, Xhaka, Behrami, Stocker, Drmic, Shaqiri.
Subs: Burki, Hitz, Widmer, von Bergen, Moubandje, Lustenberger, Kasami, Fernandes, Inler, Stocker, Embolo.
Referee: Gianluca Rocchi (Italy)
England make four changes from San Marino, then, as the first nation to qualify for Euro 2016 go looking for the point that’d seal the group - and the win that’d keep them on course for a perfect qualification. Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill, Fabian Delph and Raheem Sterling come into the side in place of John Stones, Phil Jagielka, Ross Barkley and Jamie Vardy. Wayne Rooney captains the team, his head no doubt swimming at the prospect of overhauling Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of the England goalscoring charts.
As for Switzerland, it’s surely all about Josip Drmić, who started and completed his side’s astonishing comeback against Slovenia on Saturday.
I'm back at the half-time mark and notice that I haven't missed much of anything at Wemberley tonight. It's 0-0. Not a lot for the punters to get excited about.
Into the second half now. England are on top in terms of possession right now, but can’t make any meaningful territorial gains.
Shelvey trudges off to be replaced by Harry Kane.
Full-time: 2-0!
Another brilliant night for England. Wayne Rooney hits his half-century and breaks Sir Bobby's long-standing record with another penalty strike.
And Harry Kane scores his third goal for England. Will Kane threaten Rooney's scoring record? We'll just see about that.
England still have a perfect record - eight wins in eight and have beaten Switzerland home and away. Not half bad, England fans.
Sorry I couldn't join you. The district net cops, in their infinite wisdom, has add blogspot to their list of blocked sites.
