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 the start of Matchday 4 in the grip stages of the CL, which is the reverse of the match day 3 fixtures. United need to pull their fingers out and get the win in a must win match after that embarrassing defeat in Turkey. Join me if you can for all the CL action

Chelsea one up at Rennes in the second half thanks to a goal by Hudson-Odoi . In the other match in that group it's Krasnodar 1 Sevilla 1. If both results hold then Chelsea will have clinched a place ion the knockout stages
Afternoon, David - thanks for getting us going this afternoon. And thanks for the CBS All Access link - I've just got that up and running.
Good afternoon, Bob. You're welcome and glad to help.
Rennes tied it up vs Chelsea in the 85 th minute then Olly gave Chelsea a 1-2 lead early in stoppage time
They've just shown that Kate's favorite Frenchman Ollie Giroud has put Chelsea 2-1 up against Rennes, which would put them through to the next round.
The Canaries two up at Stoke as they extend their lead at the top of the Championship
I find the grip stage to be the most exciting of all the stages.
Pompey one up vs Oxford as they are now third place in L1
Really interesting analysis of Kung Fu Panda vs. The Chunk's record. Doesn't look like good business for United.
Good afternoon, Steve.
Hiya, Steve - how's your day going?
Ollie Giroud putting himself in the shop window in some style..., the only way the HFB knows. Formidable!
Tigers two up at PR. Tigers top and Tractor Boys now in fourth place
Sevilla takes a 1-2 lead at Krasnodar in the fifth minute of stoppage time
Pretty fair Bob. Nice little earner when a cruise client popped up needing to re-schedule a New Years Cruise from this to next. Every little bit counts.
Hey Boys
I was watching the Chelsea match on Gala....now on to CBC AA
Chelsea have won 1-2 at Rennes. With Sevilla leading 1-2 at Krasnodar, both Chelsea and Sevilla have clinched a place in the group stages
Sorry. Both Chelsea and Sevilla have clinched a place in the knockout stages
I like the United line up...i would probably put in McTom instead of Fred but Fred hasn't done that badly...just keep away from the goal!
Apparently Pogba has a swollen ankle
Sounds like good news , Steve. Hopefully , everything will have vastly improved a year from now
I guess the best set of results today are United and RB wins
Good afternoon, Steve. Sounds like a dramatic finale to that match in France
Nice one, Steve!
I agree. Those would be the two best results. Would love to see PSG have to parachute to the EL. Also would be beneficial to United
CBS have a bunch of bozos in the studio!
All they want to do is joke around and laugh...only Martinez is trying to be professional
He just picked a draw....hope he's wrong
We got Peter the Screamer on the mic
I would say so, Dave - that would just about make it impossible for PSG to move forward.
Dave and David, did you get into the CBS All-Access?
United coming out the tunnel....
Come on United....a win is a must!!
This could have been it all done and dusted if it wasn't for the ridiculous performance last time out
Yesterday they announced a tiered approach for allowing fans back to stadiums. Up to 4,000, 2,000, or no fans allowed in Prem stadiums. I would be interested in everyone's opinion.
I'm on CBA . Do you need an extra opening, Steve?
It seems odd that they would allow fans back in now that there is a third wave of the pandemic going on.
I have my laptop showing on my tv.... on an old laptop
Also have my phone stashed away so I don't get the updates before i see it on this delayed coverage
Not me MUR.
I am on another friend's account so there should be space
I will start out by stating I'm against allowing fans back starting December 2nd. If it's so safe for fans to return then why is the U.K. in a lockdown? It wreaks of financial motivations, not the safety of the fans. . Those are my thoughts
The teams news out of OT tonight:
Manchester United: de Gea, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, van de Beek, Fred, Martial, Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani.
Subs: Mata, Greenwood, Grant, James, Fosu-Mensah, Ighalo, Henderson, Pellistri, Matic, Williams, Tuanzebe, Mengi.
Istanbul Basaksehir: Gunok, Da Silva, Skrtel, Epureanu, Bolingoli Mbombo, Ozcan, Visca, Chadli, Kahveci, Turuc, Ba.
Subs: Babacan, Kaldirim, Kivanc, Giuliano, Tekdemir, Gulbrandsen, Ponck, Kaplan, Karakus.
Referee: Ovidiu Alin Hategan (Romania).
Cool UWS. I'll log into the English speaking if you're all set.
Thanks Dave. That should open up a space for Steve.
They seem to be allowing them in some NFL games with no problems
Off we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
I am all set
They're off from OT! .
United need to attack with speed OFTEN
COME ON MAN UNITED!
STUFF THE TEAM FROM TURKEY TWO DAYS BEFORE THANKSGIVING!
I've got to admit that I don't know this Turkish outfit at all. Just how many teams are there in Istanbul?!
Cavani in the middle?
Martial definitely doesn't belong there
I can wait for the vaccine before crowding into a stadium thanks. Have you watched any of the MLS playoffs? The Orlando match was scary, the crowd supposed to be social distant, but in practice, piled onto each others like puppies.
BLoody hell....SHOOT THE DAMN BALL
TOO MUCH DRIBBLING
At least he went right at the defenders
Blimey - it's an early scrum in the Basak penalty area. Could have been an early goal.
Oooh, Rashford wriggling through and just stopped at the last.
Agreed, Steve. That's why I didn't go to the two RGV Toros matches. I think they could be super spreaders. We do need a vaccine ASAP
That sounds like a wise policy, Steve.
Martial now dribbles into the box....too much dribbling...SHOOT
Nice karate chopped solo run , but then guilty of an awful pass
at least they are taking on the defenders
Rash wins a free kick by the touchline
I think this team won the Turkish league last season. Despite that it should be three points for United
GOAL!!!!
BRUNO WITH A LOVELY CRACK!!!
Blimey - get in! Bruno with an absolute screamer!
Bob, these mugs have only been around since 1990. They play in the Fateh Terim like every other Istanbul club.
GOAL !!!! WHAT A SHOIT THAT WAS. CORNER FROM TELLES ELUDED EVERYONE AND BRUNO SMASHED A ROCKET IN THE ROOF OF THE NET FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX TO GIVE UNITED THE LEAD
Wow! Pick. That. Out. Bruno one-nil.
Kind of reminds me of my goals!
LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SHOOT!!
There is some commercial going around with people getting thru Covid.....one of the last scenes is Leeds United fans in the yard watching the match
Did you see that?
Now United need to score at least THREE more
They appear to be a home for aging wanderers. Martin Skrtel? Demba Ba? Rafael?
Cherries take the lead vs Forest and solidify their second place spot. it looks like they and the Canaries are starting to break away from the rest of the pack
Bugger...PSG take the lead
That's a fairly accurate description, Bob
Another Turkish club with more money than class or history.
Not good news at all. It was scored with a spot kick by Neymar
GOAL! Oh - what a brilliant move! Shame - the flag is up for offside on Rash.
If the scores stay the same...
United 9
PSG 6
RB 6
Bat 3
United would only need a point but both games against the big uns
DAMN.... two nil....no...offside
It was offside
WAY HAY ! RASH PUTS UNITED TWO UP. BUGGER! IT'S DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE. Nice one touch passing and Rash about a foot off
Great finish. Should have been a goal but off-side.
Do you see how United are playing with PACE...this is what I want!!!!
I haven't seen that ad - I'll look for it!
Just wide from Bruno. Nearly his and United's sec ond
More great passing and shooting!!
Bruno hits one wide
I like Cavani in the middle and Rash and Mart outside!!
Not a great clearance from Telles....you're supposed to be better than that
Agreed, Dave. We need to be playing like this all the time
I hope that loss in Istanbul isn't going to cost us. Agreed that those are two difficult CL matches coming up
United playing really well so far. I like Cavani as a target man for you lot.
Man U's fortunes improved by playing a pants outfit like this stripe of Turkish football.
PSG's goal was from the spot... foul on DiM...OW MY ANKLE nets
Peter Dreary wants to Telles that United's new left back is off to a shaky start.
Didn't help us against this lot last time out!
United giving away some chances.....that should have been 1-1
Baseksheir's uniforms look like something I vomited during a hangover in the 80s
That was unfortunate. Ba and Vizcan's goals were not great as I remember. Bad defense featured heavily.
United have score SIX goals at home in 1 a bit matches at OT in the CL
They have scored THREE in FIVE matches in the PL
Steve, what are your thoughts on Arteta?
Are happy?
Is it up and down like OGS?
WAY HAY! UNITED GO TWO UP
Yes! Bruno's got a brace now, mopping up after the goalkeeper made a hash of it.
TWO NIL!!!
CLANGER FROM THE KEEPER....BRUNO TAPS IT IN!
Hah-hah-hah! That keeper!
It's worse in the replay.
These goals are coming because they are getting the ball in the box because Cavani is moving inside the box!
Cross from Telles fumbled by the keeper and an easy tap in for Bruno. More of the same please
This team should start at St. Mary's at the weekend.....it wont
I'm fine with Arteta. Not so keen on Willian and Pepe. And Auba is in a terrible funk. Don't know why that is.
So much for Telles having a shaky start. An inaccurate description from the Dreary one, shouted or not
Norwich are already three up at Stoke....they're going to come back up!!
Agreed, Steve. Arteta needs to be given time like they have given Klopp at Anfield. I expected better from Willian. If I were Arteta I would have kept Willian out of the squad for violating COVID rules by going to Dubai
Pompey leading
An immediate Prem return for the Canaries?
Could well be - I think I picked them.
Ferencvaros takes a shock lead at Juve and are now third, two points behind Juve
Come on United....a couple more before half time
SAF in the stands
It's a rebuilding year for Arteta to get his feet firmly under the table.
Obviously it will be very important to re-invest Ozil's wages into someone who can weigh in with goals.
Pompey now third, a point behind Posh, who also lead 1-0
Watch United win this group....and get drawn against Barca/Juve
That's an absurd opinion Dave. Try much harder.
Free kick to the Turks.... Row Q please
I agree with Steve. The Gunners won the FA Cup with Arteta and moved up the table last season . I think he will be successful if given time
OH! Just wide from the free kick. United cannot afford to take their foot off the gas
United try to play out of the back...too much pressure to do it...knock it off
Decent hit there from the Turkish bloke. Just over.
Don't be upset me.
Potters pull one back vs the Canaries. Now 1-3
That's how Istanbul gets back into this. Don't foul them around the box, and maybe score another 2, just in case these chancers get lucky.
Oxford ties it up at Fratton Park. Sorry, Dave
If the results stay the same, a draw at home to PSG would qualify United
They would be three points up with one to play...isn't it head to head for tie breaker
It would be a win a draw for United
United way ahead in GD too
Wahay! United have a penalty now - Rash nudged over after Lindelof played him in.
Damn short goal kicks....makes not sense!!
A long ball.... penalty to United
Is he onside?
Stay on your own half MARCUS!!
WAY HAY! uNITED WIN A PENALTY . RASH TRIPPED IN THE BOX. NICE LONG BALL FROM LINDELOF. VAR CHECKING FOR OFFSIDE
There is a guy at the other side of the pitch too
There you go. Possibly 3 at the break now. If Bruno would just bang it in without the skippy shite.
And here it comes?
That's correct, Dave . Head to head is the first tiebreaker
Bruno won't be taking the pen... Rashford will be taking it
VAR TAKING AGES!!
It is given
Juve ties it up
Rash to take. I guess Bruno's bricked too many?
Check over. Rash onside so it's a penalty to United. Bruno tyo go for the hat-trick?
Up comes Rashford....THREE NIL
Bruno has deferred to Rash for this one and he....
scores! Don't like the run up but whatever.
3-0!
3-0! Rashford waits for the keeper to move and puts it the other direction.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! RASH PUTS UNITED THREE UP FROM THE SPOT. DON'T LIKE THE STUPID RUN UP, BUT GLAD UNITED IS THREE UP
One more please before half.... and then a few more in the second half!!
Again... EIGHT goals in less than 2 games
THREE in FIVE in the Prem
Juve ties it up vs Ferencvaros
Ronaldo was Juve's scorer...I know...shocker
He equals Messi's 70 home goals record in the CL
Tigers three up at PR
Free header for Demba Ba off the free kick but heads well over
Oh - Bruno was in there for his hat-trick but the keeper did well this time.
United almost in again....because they are ATTACKING WITH PACE...GOING TOWARD GOAL
Baseksheir break off a United shot that was blocked. Great slide tackle at the back to prevent Baseksheir getting a shot off
I don't remember Ba scoring many headers when he was with Newcastle. Not really his forte.
Canaries were three up at the Brit but the Potters have pulled it back to 2-3 vs the ten man Canaries
Really please how United have played this half(a few too many chances at the other end tho). I want them to come out with the same plan in the second half
Rashford has scored 75 goals for United!
Bruno almost in again!
Nice block by the keeper from Bruno. Two good blocks since that howler
Come on United... DEFEND BETTER
OH!Close range shot from Demba Ba deflects off of Harry Maguire for a corner
Oh - Ba was in there but Maguire did well to block the effort.
Another set piece for the visitors
Gotta stop doing this
Also, United have conceded too many free kicks
Now United break
Awful free kick and awful by Bruno....United break....WRONG PASS
Ah - United had a four on two there but Rash picked the wrong ball.
It came to nothing . A minute of stoppage time
Dortmund two up
I remember Ba hanging off a defender and charging forward though he was pretty hard to contain from a corner. He's a big, big lad.
Sancho got Dortmund's second
Half time at OT... that's more like it
United three up at the half. Very pleased
More of the same from United in the second half....don't sit back
Half-time then - very satisfactory so far. It looks like another English side nearly into the next round. The Turks are on a hiding to nothing tonight.
That was great. Some of the best I've seen of United this year. Too many shaky defensive moments, but Istanbul is not good enough to adequately punish those.
I never understand not playing McTom and playing Fred instead.
It is now Stoke 2 Norwich 3... Canaries on the ropes!
Only 2 of the 90 left but a bit of added time as well
Bugger...Pompey pegged back
Ipswich 3 down at home to Hull
Well said Steve
Micah thinks it is a soft pen.... he bulled him over
He is an idiot
Now the DiM pen was really soft
I'd like another few goals from United in the second half, and a comeback from Leipzig to ensure that Istanbul doesn't get dumped into the Europa.
Just looking at the tables....who'da thunk Group B!!
1 B. M'gladbach
2 Shaktar
3 Real Madrid
4 Inter
Inter host Real tomorrow
Bloody Pep
Bloody Barca
Dynamo K 0 Barca 0
Bit of a damp squib this one.
Barca with all the possession but Dynamo looking very comfortable.
Here the numpties in the studio!!
I hate it!!!
You have to wonder who thought hiring Micah to chat for a living was a good idea.
Micah says Chelsea potential winners.... I don't think so
Norwich held on for the win in the Potteries
At least the studio is upgraded with Alex Scott instead of Kate Abdo.
He's on Talksport as well.... I don't rate him at all
Oh Kate is there!!
Micah must be joking, but then he's not the sharpest tack on the wall, so you never know
Scholesey's Salford win again today
The last time United had a half-time lead of at least three goals in the Champions League at Old Trafford was against Roma on 10 April 2007. They led 4-0 at half-time and won 7-1.
What a great memory!!! I was at my cousin's house in Portsmouth for that match.... fantastic stuff!!
United replace Lindeloff with Taunzebe
He had a knock on his foot
United better not ease off!!!!
Wasabi to come on for United. Hope Baseskeir find him too hot to handle. On for Lindelof
Micah didn't even have that storied a career. Once he started picking up the hammy injuries, that speed combined with his build that looked so promising was pretty much finished.
I think there are better options for the studio.
Wouldn't mind a 7-1 final score in this match. Second half underway
There is no reason not to keep this same side for the weekend...as i said before....he will change it!
There will be TWO holding middies
We're away in the second half. Let's have some more goals, eh?
Totally agree with you Steve on both accounts
I agree, Steve. He was great when his career started, but a major disappointment after that
I also agree about the studio
23-1 in goals in 6 matches?
Can we play in the CL every time
Peter Dreary calls Baseksheir a modern club. Steve's description far more accurate . More money than class
Would MK Dons also be a "modern club?"
We need to have similar statistics in the Prem. Just doing it in the CL is not god enough
Cavani with a chance...deflected over
