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!
At the same time, I'll be hoping that Arsenal do one over on Soton, that Brentford can handle Villa and that Wolves and Leicester can share the points.
Join me to see the latest wrinkle in this season.

Good Morning, Bob. I'm up and ready for the Sunday action
It's Derby Sunday in the Championship. The Swans are two up vs Cardiff and the Hornets are four up vs Luton about a minute before second half stoppage time.
The Swans are up to fourth and that moves the Canaries out of the playoff positions , replaced by the Evil Lions
Leeds vs the Cottagers is on CNBC while Wolves vs the Foxes is on USA. That match is on USA is a really crucial relegation six pointer from Bob's point of view. One of those two could move out of the drop zone today
Morning, David - I'm just settling in to enjoy this one. We need a result.
Six changes to the Leeds line-up from Thursday cock-up at the KP.
Great noise from the off - hopefully that will lift the side.
Yes this is must win. Nice early pressure from Leeds
I went to the bog and saw deer just outside the loo window across from the driveway
Good start from us!
Great - you must be loving the new neighborhood.
Managerless Villa have taken an early lead vs the Bees. Leon of the Old Bailey with the goal. Not good news for you
Yes. You, Kate,, and M&M would love this neighborhood.
BUGGER! Foxes have taken the lead at Molineaux. Leeds now in the drop zone. Sorry, mate
Oh - Greenwood had a chance from the top of the box. Well over.
Villa two up vs the Bees. Danny Ings with then goal. Tielemans with the Foxes goal
Leeds snow need a win more than before kickoff. No ifs , and , or buts
Steve will be pleased that the Gunners have taken the lead at St. Mary's. Xakha Khan with the goal
Leeds in the drop zone, behind Hammers, Foxes and Saints by a point. Leeds will move above all three if they take the lead
Phew! Off the line by Koch!
OH! Solid as a Rocca as Harrison with a shot cleared off the line by Marc then cleared away by Robin Koch.
Nice though ball by Jack Harrison just too long for Rodrigo and gathered by Jay Leno
Villa three up vs the Bees . Danny Ings at the double. The second goal was a spot kick
WAY HAY! RODRIGO HEADS LEEDS INTO THE THE LEAD AFTER A SHOT BY JACK HARRISON WAS BLOCKED AND BROKE TO HIM
YESSSSSSSSS!
Rodrigo nods home from close range!
Well worked goal by Leeds . Aaronson out muscled Harrison Reed in the Leeds half then several passes later Aaronson found Harrison whose shot was blocked off a slip by a Cottagers defender. His shot was blocked and Rodrigo headed in the rebound
Foxes go two up at Molineaux. Harvey Barnes with the goal; with an assist all the way from Dewsbury-Hall
Leeds move out of the drop zone all the way up to fourteenth place, a point clear of the drop zone. Saints replace Leeds in the drop zone due to a wretched goal difference
Congratulations , Bob. Based on the updates Leeds need to score more and often
Willian wins a corner for the Cottagers
BUGGER! MITROVIC HEADS IN THE CORNER. SORRY, BOB.
That really was Ayling defending at the near post as he allowed Mitrovic to head in at the near post unchallenged. Really sorry, Bob
That moves Leeds back into the drop zone
Oh balls! Bad boy Mitrovic levels. Too easy. Thanks for the condolences, mate.
Cheers, Bob. Here to support you. Plenty off time for Leeds to regain the lead
PHEW! Perreira was put through on a Cottagers break of a Leeds corner and great save by Meslier onthat break
The Cottagers now have a corner. Mark them up!
This time the corner from Perreira is cleared away at the near post
Phew! Great save by Meslier there to keep us level.
Willian has been picking apart the Leeds defense the past couple off minutes. Leeds needs to stop him
Robin Koch heads pout a cross from Bobby Reid for a Cottagers corner
Pass from Sinister Luis cleared by Tosin for a Leeds corner
Big Coop picks up a yellow card for a late slide in.
Mini Cooper booked for a nasty challenge on Perrieira. Drove illegally into him
Bob and Kate will be expecting better from M&M in driver's ed
A Sinister injury for Luis. Will he be able to continue. He has been Leeds best player of the half
Luis Sinisterra is down in need of treatment. Summerville looks to be preparing to come on for him.
Now Mitrovic has a problem. I'd be happy to see the back of him.
Three minutes of stoppage time to come.
Agreed, Bob. He got a hat-trick at ER in a 4-3 Leeds win two years ago and one today. He must like playing at ER
A trio of stoppage time minutes
I'm off for walkies with Trooper so I'm back in time for the second half
Half-time arrives. We have every opportunity to win this one now, but Fulham carry significant danger on the break. 1-1.
Back for the second half with the official breakfast of the LOB.
Robinson is getting too much joy out of Ayling on the left.
Oh - Aaronson with a lovely chip there. Just over.
Back from walkies and still1-1
No changes in the other matches either
Oh - Ayling got round the back but his shot was errant.
OH! Solid as a Rocca as Marc played a superb long diagonal and just wide by an Alying Luke,
It's simple, mate. A Leeds lead moves them out of the drop zone
It's got to be about time for Lord Bamford.
That's what we need, mate.
Not sure if Jesse will be sacked with a draw today. The players are playing for him and it's been decent performance
Is Lord Bamford what the doc ordered?
Oh - that break shows the danger that Fulham contain. Paulinha should have done better with the chance.
Villa FOUR up vs the Bees. Having Stevie G in charge might as well have been Kenny G. Sound about right?
Nice block by Ayling from Harry Wilson
American International , Antonee Robinson booked for obstruction on Greenwood
Play Watkins with the fourth Villa goal, against his former club
JM finally going to his bench. Summerville and Lord Bamford coming on for Rodrigo and Sinesterra.
Would love to see Patrick get his ton today.
Jesse to make a double substitution. First Neeskens Kebano for Harry Wilson for the Cottagers. Bamford for goal scorer, Rodrigo and Summerville for Sinister Luis
Foxes three up at Molineaux. The fourth President with the goal
saints tie it up vs the Gunners, who are still top, but their lead is down to two points. Stu Armstrong with the goal
Oh - Bamford in there, but the Leno did well.
OH! Great kick save by Jay Leno from Bamford. Should have been a Leeds lead
Those changed scores do NOT change the fact that a Leeds lead moves them up to fourteenth place
Wolves are in real trouble.
Another free header for Mitrovic off a corner , but this time he heads well over.
Great run by Summerville there earns a free kick.
Correct, Bob. They're second from bottom, ahead of Forest on goal difference. I didn't expect them to be in this much trouble
Summerville wins a Leeds free kick in the Autumn
Training pitch routine totally wasted by Jack.
Twenty minutes left to win this one. Come on!
Oh - Mitrovic gets in again. Well blocked off by Ayling. Corner.
Mitrovic with a shot blocked by Ayling for a corner off a pass from Harrison reed
BUGGER! BOBBY REID GIVES THE COTTAGERS A 1-2 LEAD. SORRY, BOB
Balls! Fulham score as the corner is recyling. Nice glancing header by Bobby DR.
Jesse in real trouble.
Perreira has assisted on both goals. His corner made it outside the box, but the ball was played wide to Perreria and his cross was headed in at the near post by Bobby Reid
Sam Greenwood Kliched off the pitch
And the Fulham fans are having a Joy Division sing along now.
Leeds now two points from safety above Wolves and Forest on goal difference. The Cottagers now up to seventh place
Leeds fans singing sack the board. That's a decent shout
Foxes FOUR up at Molineaux. VAR D with the fourth Foxes goal
Wolves will be bottom if the Foxes score two more without reply
Leeds winless in eight. The last time that happened Bielsa was sacked. Is Jesse on thin ice?
Oh - Ayling with a great cross over toward Lord Bamford. Cleared out brilliantly by Tosun.
Tosin heads out a cross under pressure from Bamford for a Leeds corner
Desperate defending by the Cottagers
Bugger! That's torn it. 1-3 down now with Willian scoring.
BUGGER! 1-3 COTTAGERS . WILLIAN SLIDES INTO SCORE IN THE CORNER OF THE GOAL FROM CLOSE RANGE. SORRY BOB
It came from a throw near the corner flag and Harrison Reed schooled two defenders before passing to Willian for an easy tap in
Joffy has come on - it's going to take a miracle to even get it back to 3-3.
This surely is Jesse's last match in charge of Leeds. Do you concur?
You need Joffy in a Jiffy.
The fans are angry now - you can hear it.
It could well be.
Neesken's Kebano with a shot blocked by Summerville for a corner
Oh - Bamford must stick those away.
Cross from Ayling just in front of Bamford then the offside flag is raised
Shane Duffy on for Willian as Marco Silva shuts up shop
GOAL ! SUMMERVILLE PULLS IT BACK TO 2-3 IN THE AUTUMN
Yes! Crysencio Summerville pokes one home to bring us back to 2-3!
Jiffy played a one two with a Cottagers defender then Sinister Luis stabbed it in past Leno off a nice through ball from Jiffy. It counts after a VAR check
It couldn't happen, could it?
Carlos Vinicius for Mitrovic and Tom Cairney on as Marco Silva aims to ruin Dave's day
Elland Road really quiet now.
Yes definitely, Bob. The two substitutions and the goal should add on about 90 seconds
It's over at Molineaux and the Foxes have won 0-4
Should be time for one more chance.
That's desperate for Wolves.
Boos ring out around the ground as we go down 2-3.
It's over and the Cottagers win 2-3. The end of the road for JM? Sorry, Bob. Leeds third from bottom, two points from safety
Villas have thrashed the Bees 4-0. Doing well after Stevie G, who might has well have been Kenny G
Saints vs Gunners has finished 1-1. Sorry, Steve
I'm off to soak my head in the shower.
