Thread | This is all a ploy by the master tactical genius KM
at 22:36 23 May 2024
He wants to destabilise all Premier league clubs and managers by being linked with them and their jobs.... All the time being totally committed to Ipswich. This destabilises all the other clubs and they struggled to get a settled team and the Ipswich dream continues and we continue our run of finishing 2nd - just behind Arsenal... |

We all have our opinions and very few people know what is happening with our manager and our club, none of us want him to leave.
I honestly thought KM wouldn't leave as he'd had great success quickly and has time, money to build a legacy by cementing our future in the PL. Realistically a good cup run and an interest in a European place is the best we can hope for in next five years - and while that would see us stable and competitive (and the majority of realistic fans content), is that really the success that KM wants? While the Suffolk lifestyle may be great for his family I get the feeling KM wants the City life and the challenge of "Europe or big club". The current state of Chelsea and Man U actually means he could go there without huge pressure - succeed and his stock rises, fail and blame it on basket case clubs. Brighton is currently a step up and would give him a challenge and a realistic chance of measurable success. I'm now starting to think we had more chance of KM staying had we missed out on promotion as, while improvement would be noted, success wouldn't have brought the attention.
If KM wasn't seriously considering his future I would have expected a statement from him by now stating "flattered by media talk, fantastic clubs being linked with but started a project and learning his trade and would like to finish the project and see contract out" - but this hasn't happened.
I hope I'm wrong but I feel he will go. If he does he'll go with our good will and we'll move on, change the songs and hope it's Ashton that's the genius and it wasn't all KM.
For now, we have memories and hope and only one can be taken. |

I expect today will be Jackson's last game in a Town shirt. While he hasn't been the greatest player his endeavor and perseverance to stick at our club during some very difficult days and make a telling contribution this season has to be admired.
I hope he signs off today with his held held high and cheers ringing in his ears! |

Thread | I never thought this day would come again......
at 10:20 4 May 2024
Like many I have been an Ipswich Fan a long time and while I dont attend as much as I did the love doesnt fade.
Two years ago, when we were languishing in League one and relying on journeymen and loans in a tired-looking stadium watching the rich clubs get richer, I thought we'd neve play at the top level again.
I won't be at Portman Road today and while I would have loved it to be time for a new generation of Town fans to experience something special that will live with them like Oxford away and Wembley stick with me.
There may well be tears today but this journey has been amazing |

Thread | This season..
at 14:40 1 May 2024
We have lost the least amount of games in the division, scored the most goals in the division and YET some teams below still call us lucky..
On another note.. All the media talk of championship being unpredictable and topsey turvey... The pessimist in me is still dreading a sting in the tail on Saturday knowing another booking for Morsy means he'd miss all the playoffs... 😭 |

Thread | Last Season's last three games....

Last season we went into the last three games sitting in third place!
We won the first two of those three and drew the last game!
I'd settle for a repeat of that! |

Reply | The hardest thing I have ever had to write
at 21:41 15 Apr 2024
The first word you wrote is often the hardest, asking for help is often the most difficult thing to do, especially for men.
As someone who has been there! I sat looking for answers in a bottle after writing a note to my wife and kids. I've been selfish enough not to care about the effects it would have on my wife and kids. I've lost half a year due to not being able to see ot talk to anyone but immediate family. I was late asking for help, I could feel the slipping of reality, I could feel the pressure of the tiniest expectation but I couldn't find anyone to talk to. I don't have a large group of friends.. In fairness I don't even have a small group of friends as getting older has meant we've drifted in our own worlds. Eventually the decision was taken out of my hands as I became parallised with fear, just laying in bed sobbing, not seeing positives in anything.
The first port of call was GP... The second was being honest with one person.. In my case my wife... But it could be anyone.. They don't have to talk, just listen and part of that process may have happened with you original post. The process with GP takes time but they will get you help. There are also plenty of great charities out there that offer similar services and I ended up medicated, and having three different lots of therapy. It takes time. You'll get frustrated. You'll have bad days. You'll have good days when you wonder what the fuss is about... These are dangerous as you can decide you don't need help anymore...
The big trick is to realise that many things don't matter... Don't really matter. Learn to realise what matters and appreciate it. Learn to understand what YOU need.. it can be as simple as 20mins a day to walk, read, run, meditate but it's something for you.
Take the compliments, take the help. Don't be hard on yourself..
My journey isn't over... I've been sober for over five years... I don't do drugs.. I don't smoke... I have bad days.. I have good days... I've stopped the medication as certain sise effects wasnt helping me.
I take joy in small things.. Bird song.. Walking my dog... Reading a book..writing my thoughts down...
This is your journey.. Do what's right for you.. You made the first step.. Keep taking the steps..
I wish you well [Post edited 15 Apr 21:58]

Thread | Norwich Hangover!!
at 15:09 6 Apr 2024
Never fancied us today! It just looked like their players wanted it more. Unfortunately, too many of our players looked off it today. The season isn't over but if we suffer from a downturn in performance and results that we had after we last played Norwich then WE WILL NEVER STOP HEARING IT!
While they may be promoted via playoffs - although I doubt it! Their whole fan base will be content with stopping us from being promoted and, if our standards slip following this setback, then be prepared to hear about it for the next ten years!
The season isn't over but Watford is a massive test! |

Watford are the sort of team that will give us problems, there are certainly no easy games in the championship.
Whatever happens it's been a great season but success increases expectations and its something we all need to remember! |

Thread | John-Jules
at 16:16 31 Dec 2023
Could John-Jules be someone who we're interested in?
Obviously we know all about him. Currently on loan at Derby until January. Might be worth getting him back on loan as what we saw of him previously wasn't all bad!
Thoughts? |
