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!
Citeh have Southampton at home today, so you would expect goals. Lots of goals. On Wednesday, Haaland destroyed Copenhagen with two goals in the first fifteen minutes. He would have scored six or seven but for their keeper and then being taken off at half-time. So - how many will he score today. Tune in with me to find out.

Citeh can go top with a win here today, ahead of Arsenal's clash with Liverpool tomorrow morning.
Soton start in 16th on 7 points from eight matches.
I don't see Kal Phillips in the Citeh squad today and he wasn't in the squad in mid-week either. Has he got a knock? If, it's tragic for him.
Citeh right onto the front foot right from kick-off. Mahrez has a first effort saved by Bazunu, who's going to be busy this afternoon.
Leicester have taken the lead early at Bournemouth through Patson Daka, who Brendan Rogers has brought in for Jamie Vardy today.
The American Josh Sargent has put Norwich ahead at Carrow Road against PNE.
Great ball in from Cancelo with the outside of his right boot. He did one of those to Haaland for a goal against Dortmund recently.
Oh - Haaland is in there but somehow he finds the inside of the post and stays out.
Bryan Mbeumo thought he had put Brentford ahead at St James’ Park, but it was ruled out by VAR because of an offside against Ivan Toney in the build up.
GOAL! Joao Cancelo opens the scoring for Citeh. It goes without saying that that goal was coming. Nice jinking run and finish. Citeh have so many weapons.
Bruno Guimaraes has given Newcastle the lead at St James’ Park. If they win today they will move into the top six.
Emil Riis has headed Preston level at Carrow Road. Sounds like the goal came very much against the run of play.
Chelsea are well on top but have missed multiple chances, according to Tim Sherwood on Soccer Saturday.
GOAL! Foden adds a second goal on the half-hour mark, after KDB split the Soton defense.
Christian Pulisic has finally been given a start by Graham Potter and he has apparently botched four glorious opportunities.
First real chance for Soton; Stuart Armstrong blazes over.
Hal time at Maine Road and Citeh are coasting at 2-0. No goals for Haaland yet is the only surprise.
Same pattern to this half as the first, with Citeh pouring on the pressure.
GOAL! Rodri finds Mahrez at the back post and he expertly volleys it in the corner.
3-0!
