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!
There are two League Cup Quarterfinals today . The first is the Potters vs the Spuds which we as a group decided to forego as it seems less than appealing. Next is the big one for a couple of us as the Toffees host United who need to play like they did on Sunday if they want to advance to the semis. The match from Goodison Park kicks off at 3 PM. Join me if you can

The Spuds have taken a 1-3 lead at the Brit with about the minutes remaining. It was 1-1 with about twenty minutes remaining. This score is as expected.
Hey Boys
I am here for the first half
OGS.... does he want to win a trophy?
NINE changes from the Leeds match....what was the score of that match???
It's over and as expected the Spuds have won 1-3 at the Brit, joining the Bees and Citeh in the semis
Good afternoon, Dave. That's a lot of changes, busy schedule or not
Everton XI: Olsen, Coleman, Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Doucoure, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin
Man Utd XI: Henderson, Bailly, Maguire, Pogba, Cavani, Greenwood, Fernandes, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek, Tuanzebe
no reason not to win this one for United...it is only two more extra games
The semi final draw takes place after this match. This year....the semis are not two legged affairs. First out of the hat hosts!
United' side still a strong looking side
Can United win for a second time this year at Goodison?
Rumors going around
Leeds United interested in buying Adama Trarore from Wolves in January
We definitely need another win at Goodison . I think Adama Traore would be a great addition to the LUFC side. Wonder what Bob thinks.
When are the LC semis being played?
Afternoon, chaps! I'm really looking forward to this one. Come on, United!
I'm not sure about Traore - he seems like someone who mainly comes on as a sub for Wolves and we've already got plenty of cover in that area. If we were in for Conor Coady, I'd be more interested.
Good afternoon, Bob. You make a good point
The marquee match of the round about to start three days before the marquee Boxing day match , which also involves United
As the announcer stated there are 2,000 socially distanced fans in attendance at Goodison Park.
A bit of a nippy night on Merseyside with temperatures slightly above freezing
We are off from Goodison
Hope United are Good Son
Both teams lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Hopefully, Dean Henderson doesn't gift any early or an goals for that Mata like he did against his old mates at Bramall Lane
I think he'd be great for you
They're off from Goodison Park.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Everton have never won this trophy
Whoever wins tonight....you know City will get Brentford at home
We're away from Goodison - come on, United!
In this fixture the away team has always won in the LC. Long may that continue
Flag up.... not sure if he was
United in again... bad pass by Bruno
Right there... Pogba got the ball...could have turned and gone forward...he passed it right back to where it came from!
A decent start from United
Wasabi wins a United corner off of Ben Godfrey
That corner Does Telles us that Robin Olsen punched it away for another United corner
Jerry Minor down with a possible major injury for the Toffees. Robin Olsen's arm made contact with his face.
He's up and has to leave the field with a nose plug.
Why didn't Pogba shoot!!
Good start from United - I think playing Leeds has inspired them.
United making some chances
Pleased with the positivity
VDB with a shot blocked for a corner. What was that stupid back heel from Pogba? Should have scored. Robin Olsen saved from an offside Thomas Edison Cavani off the corner
I hope so Bob
Canani takes a shot from Anfield.... worth a shot!
I'm not a member of the striker's union, but am almost certain that we would be one up if Pogba had shot
Coleman finds that pass to hot to cut the mustard as United win another corner
Corner headed out
Useless corner... doesn't beat the first man!
This is the way United should play EVERY GAME
EXACTLY the same pisspoor corner!!
That cross does Telles that Doucorre headed out for a United corner. Sadly it also does Telles that the corner was headed away buy the first man
oooh... Cavani almost in
Cavani is very useful to have in the squad... he can be a game changer
United almost in again!!
Cavani let up at the back post
OH! Scramble in the Toffees box. Shot from, Bruno blocked then broke to VDB then Olsen gathered . it started because Ben Godfrey was tackled by Wasabi who was too hot for the young Toffees defender to handle
OH! Two great blocks by Olsen from Thomas Edison
Cavani twice at the back post!!!
United could have scored four already!
KEEP IT UP!!
Oh - so many chances for United so far. It's the Bielsa Bump!
Great start by United but we need to start putting away these chances
LOL, Bob. I think you're right
We also need to play like this on Saturday if we want three points on Boxing Day
Does Thomas Edison Cavani provide too much electricity for the Toffees to handle?
Now United passing inside their own box.... knock it off!
The Toffees performance as stale as a bunch of expired Toffees
Nice run by Siggy but he was blocked out eventually.
Nice solo run by Siggy , but well blocked by Maguire. That's why United need to put away their chances
The semi finals are in the first week of the new year
The Final has been switched from the end of February to April 25
oooh, Greenwood heads just wide
This is more like it.... creating chances....whoda thunk it
OH! Mason Greenwood heads inches wide. That should Telles that United need to put away those chances
25 minutes in...normally I would say United haven't started yet.... can't say that tonight!! They really deserve a goal
Hopefully we start like this on Boxing Day at the King Power
Thanks Dave. That sounds like the same week as when the first legs is usually played even though the semis as you stated are one legged this year
More good play by United.... they are playing with such pace and positivity!!
Cross from Bruno headed out by Jerry Minor for a United corner
Maybe this should be the first team?
OH! Free header from Pogba that is headed straight to Robin Olsen . Should have given United the lead off the corner from Telles
This is a good shout for a first team. I think We could put out two first team lineups if we play to our potential on a regular basis
Shouting from the Gladys Street End. Is Gladys doing any of the shouting?
This is third vs fourth....United miles better...today
Pogba complains....dunno about what
Nine shots to one so far
Andre Gomes Addams trips Thomas Edison Cavani on an electric evening
A goal is needed before half time....
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Saturday will be second vs third . We have some big matches
I bet Dave would have put away that header off the corner that Pogba headed straight to the keeper
I hope I would have
Siggy wins a corner off of Matic for the Toffees first corner of the match
The corner from Siggy is headed straight to Dean Henderson by DCL
Godfrey went down in the box - should be carded for simulation.
Bailey called for hand ball just outside the box off former MUFC academy grad, Michael Keane
Bugger....Everton coming back into this!!
United starting so well... and now we have slowed down
Keep it going United!
Dangerous free kick to the Toffees
Agreed, Bob. That was a poor attempt to win a penalty
Dean Henderson does well to tip over the free kick from Siggy
Henderson saves a decent shot.
The corner from Siggy does Telles if it's overcooked it will be headed away
That arguement does Tellees that the United defender found a decision for a corner didn't cut the mustard
Siggy has a shot blocked then shoots straight to Dean Henderson
United's performance has dropped.... back to normal then!
OGS scored seven times in ten appearances vs the Toffees. Since he's not playing somebody else will need to take responsibility
VDb wins a free kick off of Andre Gomes Addams. A minute of stoppage time
Free kick from Bruno easily saved by Robin Olsen
United need to start taking advantage of all of these chances, lest they allow Everton back into this one. Siggy looks particularly dangerous today.
It's 0-0 at the half despite United missing some good chances
Half time
United started off really well but cooled off a bit but on a whole I am pleased
WE NEED SOME GOALS... from those in red!
I am off to pick up Kathy from work
I will be following the rest of the match on 5Live
Have a great holiday everyone
TTFN
The second half is underway from Goodison Park.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Cheers Dave. Happy Holidays and look forward to chatting on Saturday
Back for the second half after helping out Kate with some Christmas cooking. Let's go ManYoo!
Cheerio, Dave!
Close range shot from Thomas Edison Cavani into the side netting
Oh - Cavani was in but he could only find the side netting.
What's on the menu for Christmas, mate?
Naughty from Cavani there. He could be in trouble here. No - just a bollocking.
Eric Bailey and Rich Arlison down off a challenge
We're doing a country ham, scalloped potatoes, red cabbage and apples, crescent rolls and cranberry sauce. We've already made a red velvet cake for afters. We're just trying to do as much cooking ahead of time as we can so that we can focus on Zooms and phone calls on the day.
Rich Arlison unable to continue and will be replaced by fellow Brazi , Bernard
Richarlison is off and fellow Brazilian Bernard is on for him.
WOW! That's really tasty. We usually do a ham for NYD. This year turkey and stuffing on the menu for Christmas day
Just a reminder not ET in the LC until the semis . Straight to pens if tied after 90 minutes
Like for like as Tom Davies is on for Andre Gomes Addams
Ole needs to freshen things up a bit now - it's all gotten a bit stale.
Oh - that was an awful effort from Bruno. He had all the time in the world to pick out the bottom corner.
Agreed, Bob. The life has gone out of the match this half
Sounds good, mate. We tend not to do turkey unless we're with a larger group. Even a turkey breast hangs around a bit too long.
A double change for OGS. VDB karate chopped off the pitch while Rash is on for Mason Greenwood in two like for like switches
Rash and Kung Fu Panda being unleashed now. Can the first team boys do the biz for United?
LOL, mate! That makes sense
I sure hope so, mate. They may have been brought on with penalties in mind too. Sure hope United win this in regulation
Bertrand trips Pogba about a foot outside the box off a pass from Rash. Was that a dive?
Free kick chance now - this one needs to fly in!
That free kick does Telles that it was a complete and utter waste
That cross also does Telles that United's deliveries have been really poor
OGS Shaw is ready for the final roll of the dice
Like for like on the final roll of the dice from OGS which does Telles that it Shaw was time for a change
Not too Keane on that last pass from Thomas Edison Cavani which was short by quite a few watts and ohms
Oh - come on Kung Fu!
That karate chop off the pass from Bruno so errant that he nearly put his foot in his mouth
Sounds like Bob was ready to put out a few karate chops
WAY HAY WHAT AN ELECTRIC FINISH BY THOMAS EDISON CAVANI
It started with a pass from Harry Maguire to Kung Fu panda and his karate chopped pass resulted in that electric finish
The final roll of the dice from Ancelotti is Tosun for Doucorre as Wasabi booked for a foul just outside the box
Fantastic finish from Cavani! And it couldn't come at a better time!
Free kick from Siggy headed well over by Ben Godfrey.
Fortunately Godfrey put his header over the top.
RUDDY NORAH! Why is there a quintet of stoppage time minutes? There weren't that many stoppages
Rash with a shot blocked by Ben Godfrey for a late United corner
Short corner cheaply given away
Shot from Ben Godfrey blocked for a corner. Siggy shoots straight to Dean Henderson off the corner
That Shaw was stupid to kick the ball away and deservedly booked
United just about hanging on for the win here - yellow card for Shaw now.
Oh - Bruno had a chance here but clipped the angle with his shot!
OH! Matic goes on a run and p[asses to Bruno whose curler clips the corner of post and cross bar. OH! Great save by Olsen from Rash
WAY HAY! UNITED GO TWO UP THANKS TO A KARATE CHOPPED GOAL
Oh - Rash should have finished it!
Now Kung Fu has! 2-0!
That's it as United win 0-2 and have clinched a place in the semis. Rash went on a run on the counter and passed for a karate chopped finish with just Robin Olsen to beat
That's it - United are through to the semis alongside Brentford, Citeh and Spurs.
The draw for the semis is supposed to be today
It was great to share that one with you, mate. Congratulations on the big win. I'm off to finish up the cooking.
Cheerio!
Thanks, Bob. Great chatting with you. Enjoy the cooking and Happy Holidays. Look forward to chatting on Saturday.
CHEERS!
