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 the Group stages of the Champions League and United travel to the Swiss capital go Berne to face Young Boys . They have a strong lineup and three points are a must . Join me for all the action if you can

The teams are headed out of the tunnel in front of what appears to be a capacity crowd
Not sure why United is wearing their away kit. Red shirts and white shorts doesn't clash with yellow shirts and black shorts. Does like similar to the away kits worn in the 90s
They're off from Berne .
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Is everyone's feed a bit feeble? Mine is very low bandwith? Like the weekend's. I hope this is not a frequent problem. I blame P+ and the Cock's penny pinching.
Are the two of you surprised to see Dutch Danny given a run-out today? Did Ole try to shop him elsewhere this summer? I just don't think he fits anywhere into the playing style of this squad.
Is the Tudn feed any better David? Now I've got a spinning wheel of death.
GOAL !!! UNITED TAKE THE LEAD AND WHO ELSE BUT SKIPPY AND LIKE FREDDIE WOODMAN AN ERROR BY VON BALLMOOS. NICE PASS FROM COMPATRIOT, BRUNO.
I'M watching on the telly, so definitely a better feed than any streaming video for sure
I'm surprised too, Steve. I didn't expect VDB to start , but he's done okay so far
Congrats. Cronnie is really paying off the change Ole took bringing him back.
Von Vallmoos sure was a moose or mouse as he let that shot squirm through his legs
Thanks , Steve. Odd that all three of his goals have come from goalkeeping errors. Really bizarre
Hey Boys
I am here
I have just been away from my computer but I did see the goal
Great pass by Bruno!!
Ronny scores a third United goal already!
I have it on my Roku so I am going to be behind
The Old Boy scored against the Young Boys
Tonight CR has equaled Casillas appearance record in the CL and extend HIS scoring record
In Group G Salzburg has taken the lead ion Sevilla. I'm fine with that
Good. Not that I could do anything about it but I'm glad you're here.
Good Afternoon, Dave. Great records by CR, and doing extraordinarily well for someone his age
Hate the fake stuff
I don't want Sevilla to advance at all. Two years of their stultifying play in the Europa is enough.
Sancho with a poor short pass...he has been NAFF so far this season....is he good?
Good save by De Gea
OH! Shot from CR pushed around for a corner by Von Ball Moose after De Gea made a nice save
Ronaldo with another shot...saved
United blew that break...they had three on two
At 3PM Chelsea vs Zenit on Galavision while Barca vs Bayern on Unimas. Another 8-2 Bayern win would do nicely
Sancho hasn't looked very good ever since his return from injury at Dortmund. I wonder if that penalty miss this summer is haunting him?
Half a dozen Championship matches today too
I agree Dave and Steve. Very poor start by Sancho to his United career
Just to let you all know if CR hadn't started another number 7 is waiting and eager to stat in his place
Sancho into the box....poor again!!!
Yeah, I didn't like how he wasn't very positive with that run. Something's up with him.
I just read your first couple comments
No reason why United shouldn't be wearing red. Last time they played here that's what they wore
United are becoming like the rest of the clubs and wearing "other" shirts
They always used to wear red whenever they could
Bloody $$$$$$
There are a number of strong personalities at MU right now. Hopefully one of them will make it his business to life Sancho and the other youngsters up so that they can meet their potential.
Bloody hell....Obiwan sent off!
It was a wasted pass by VDB to start with
You know what is going to happen now
VDB will be pulled off
BUGGER! OBI WAN HAS BEEN SENT OFF FOR UNITED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PLAYER'S REACTION THAT GOT HIM SENT OFF BUT THE REPLAY SHOWED HE STAMPED ON THE ANKLE. Really stupid and United will be down a man the remind r of the match in which they were well in control
I really don't know why clubs promote kits that do not reference great moments. Your navy that reminded us of the win over Benfica in 68 should be rerun over and over. We make the same mistake.
No, it is Sancho that comes off
Even nasty by Darth Vader's standards
Then immediately from the restart inches wide by Young Boys.
Struth....how did United not concede there!
Correct. Dalot, a flop during his time at United, on for Sancho
So Sancho's day is done after the red card. And immediately after YoungBoys get a golden opportunity that's spurned
Everything was going swimmingly ....and now we will struggle
We will sit back too deep
Agreed, Steve. CR needs to grab Sancho by the scruff of his neck like Roy Keane did to him when he first joined United
That Shaw was a Hefti challenge or at least the Swiss right back tried to con the ref in to making it appear to be the case
Long range shot comfortably saved by De Gea
In a tale of three penalties old man, Rakitic has tied it up from the spot for Sevilla. Now 1-1. Both goals spot kicks and Salzburg also missed one
A min ute of stoppage time. I thought there would be ,more
Fassnacht booked for the Young Boys for a foul on Fred
United a goal up , but a man down at the half
The sooner the better for you all. You can get reorganized at the half. Cheap yellow for Fassnacht.
HT....was going fine but now a long second half ahead
I hate Carra and Richards in the studio....just want to be comedians....both are so anti-United!
Did you see the shenanigans that Carra did during the Soccer Aid match...he back healed a pop star in the chest!
He should have been fired after that and the spitting incident a few years back
I think someone will be subbed on that can track the YB guy on the left who needs to be shut down earlier in their forward movement so that the ball gets recirculated centrally where Pogba and Fred can get to it. That's what I think may work to see Man Yoo through this one.
I would argue that Carra is more Pro-Carra than he is anything else. And what should be the end of him is that he's an utter waste of space above his ankles.
These betting ads make me ill. We need a really ugly betting scandal to come through and wipe them out.
Varane on for the second half!
Wonder who he is coming on for
Again, I bet it's VDB....he is snakebitten
Looks like the young Yank Siebatchieu will make an appearance for YB.
Another defensive switch by OGS as Varane is on for VDB
Varane is on for VDB....I called it
Off we go
Yep, Varance on, VDB off. I'm quite surprised he escaped the trap door this summer. It's not a good fit for him.
Second half underway
I just read the comments . Glad I watched the halftime show on TUDN inset of Paramount , which sounds like it was of paramount waste
Not sure if Siebatchu for Sierro is like for like or a forward for a midfield player
VDB wanted to go but United wouldn't let him
Solskjaer wants him but never plays him
He could have been going to Everton
I just want this game wrapped up quickly and then take some players off the plastic
Young Boys president Luxembourg international deservedly booked for a nasty foul on Bruno
Sorry. Meant resident, not president
Me too, Dave. The ref should blow up now.
Fancy foot work from Fred as he's fouled by Pefok
Siebatchieu is a straight up forward. They'll look to get him on the end of things. Even in a withdrawn role, he'd struggle.
CR goes down, looking for a penalty. I didn't think it was one. Nice long ball from Bruno
Ronaldo wants a pen...nothing given
Went down easily
Get a shot off
Thanks for the info, Steve. That makes sense as Young Boys needs a goal against ten men
What a crock! Commentator say's Skippy was looking for the pen? That's because he was barged over in the box! He was robbed and United should have been home and hosed.
The replay from that "Camara" angle showed that CR may have lost his balance but nothing wrong with the challenge
The last two Young Boys shots have made it halfway to Freiburg
Barged over in the box. It's a pen. The defender bolloxed his attempt to ride Skippy from getting to it and then shoulder barged him over.
News from Frieburg is that the aerial threat from Berne has been lifted as the ball continues to travel.
less than thirty to go
De Gea stupidly picks up a cheap booking for time wasting. Why? There's still a a lot of time remaining
I hate all this crap wasting time
Just knock if off De Gea
Varane in the book I guess...that could hurt for future matches!
I've had to switch to TUDN because the low bandwidth issues are too distracting. I turned to the CBS sports option and it's the idiots in the studio presenting Kate Abdo with a birthday cake. It's torch and pitchfork time for CBS.
LOL, Steve. Nice update
Sorry lads.
DAMN! YOUNG BOYS TIE IT UP
We are just asking them on to us.....still hold a threat going forward
There is the equalizer
It was coming
Tanks, Steve. Wish the aerial threat hadn't been lifted
United could lose this one...to the fodder of the group!
They were almost in again!
Agreed Dave, just conceding field position and inviting them forward. This should have been an exercise in ball management in the middle and passing it around them and confident defending. Instead, it's been all YB and it's level because of that.
United should have continued to attack
United have played with 10 men often and still were a threat
Matic for Pogba? Someone to put his foot in and control things.
Dave called it. United payed the price for setting far too deep and a lengthy possession culminated in Ngamelu diverting in a pass from close range from Elia. Varane poorly beaten too the ball off weak defending
I'd bring on Lingard to help going forward
Not sure if We want Matic. He's a waste of space and a disaster waiting ton happen
Ronaldo coming off for Lingard
Come on Jessie
Lindy and Matic for Skippy and Bruno. Pogba's hypnosis of Ole continues.
He does bring on Lindy , but why bring off CR? Then Matic for Bruno. Other than Lindy there's absolutely no attacking threat. Not great substitutions
Geez....here is Matic for Bruno
We don't want to win
List of players that OGS has taken off during this match
Sancho
Ronaldo
Bruno
Not exactly wanting a win!
Great description, Steve. Match for Pogba would have been a much better choice
Agreed, Dave. Hoping for a draw against the weakest team in the group doesn't exactly inspire confidence
Pogba with a joke of a challenge in midfield.
Fortunately that wasn't a Hefty header despite being wide open off the corner
United are going to lose this
Pogba fouled by Dean Martins
Now an irony runs on to the pitch and immediately rugby tackled by security. Better tackling than from United
Pogba is such a huge and inconsistent luxury that you need more than Fred to do the hard work. McTom, whatever happened to McTom?
OK, Dave's so upset he's invaded the pitch. Calm down UWS!
Some idiot running on the field!
Bloody auto correct. An idiot ran on to the pitch
I think McTomain is either injured or has McTomain poisoning
Sorry...I don't know what came over me!
TAKE A SHOT VARANE
I think he's still injured
Martins with challenges that may be okay in Luxembourg, but not the CL. He's begging for a second yellow
That's okay Dave. Just a momentary lapse, LOL!
OGS showed no interested in winning this....very poor attitude
Clash of heads between Lindelof and Elia
It's been coming for years. Anyone who's listened to the short corner rants knew it was comeing I hope the bandwidth in the Bern Bearpit is better than on Paraplus.
Fortunately both players up and okay
LOL, Steve. Nice analysis
I heard that Praplus called that because Micah and Jamie are paranormal? Sound about right?
The Young boys goal scorer Shaw does win a corner
I wonder if the choice of low bandwidth is a cost decision because of low subscription rates for Paraplus. And the Cock too. They can't cover their costs otherwise.
OGS will say he is pleased after the match
Not sure who is going to be karate chopped off the pitch for United. I'm sure Dave would karate chop plenty of United players
OH! De Gea does well to tip over a long range shot
They're the Young Frankenstein brothers; both Abbie Normal
I think OGS may say relieved too
Long shot....tipped over the bar from De Gea
I haven't watched on Cock or para this season , but sounds about right
TWO attempts on target....awful!
LOL, Steve . More like Young Frankenstein understudies, but great description
Martial on for Fred....what does that move mean?
Fred karate chopped off the pitch. At least an attacking switch
A quintet of stoppage time minutes. Far too much stoppage time
It's 1-1 in the other match too
Again....this is the weakest team....HAD to go for the win
Of course, we won in Paris last season....didn't do us much good
Tell you what it means. No balls won in the midfield in stoppage time.
Young Boys manager wanting to ruin Dave's day with a double stoppage time change. What's the point?
Agreed , Dave and Steve. Both of you spot on
I love the note carried onto the pitch. I'm sure it says, run forward, get the ball, and score. Keys to victory.
DAMN ! UNITED LOSE IT LATE ON GIFTING YOUNG BOYS A GOAL WITH A SHOCKING BACK PASS
Oh good lord. That's undeserved. What a fiasco. Sorry chaps.
Ridiculous back pass from Lindy . Was that Pefok, who scored?
Thanks, Steve. We've been the architects of our destruction. The red card, gifting them the winner, etc.
Unbelievable
TOTALLY DESERVED
It finishes 2-1. Nostradavidus called it
I agree, Dave. We were so horrible. I f we were half decent we would have won
Will anyone be round for the 3 PM kickoffs?
Sevilla vs Salzburg finished 1-1
Yeah, that's the American who plays in a Pefock jersey for the USA. His goal is very undeserved, but what is he supposed to do when Lindy giftwraps a chance like that one.
Again, sorry. That was miserable even for neutrals.
Thanks, Steve. Were sure did gift them the goal
Next on TUDN is Barca vs Bayern
