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!

Thanks for posting the draw, MUR. Some tasty 5th Round fixtures there, for sure. You lot must be happy with your draw against Northants or Derby. The Rooney reunion would be fun. Chelsea v. Liverpool should be a match, as long as Frankie Lamps and Jurgen take it seriously.

I agree with UWS - don't like all this talk of changing the Cup. It's still the greatest knock out tournament in world sport.
