Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.39 - Pains In The Neck Written by The_Flashing_Smile on Thursday, 26th Mar 2026 09:18
At the end of my last intro I said, “See you again for more of the same next week”.
Well we probably would’ve loved a repeat of last week now, wouldn’t we?! Blimey. I’ve had a pain in the neck since Saturday, presumably from one too many pillows while staying at my mum’s. Failing to beat Millwall was a pain in the neck too, but then we were probably happy with a point by the end. Then another pain in the neck turned up for a tour of Portman Road. A massive misstep by the club. I’m hopeful that all these pains will clear up quickly and not leave the club (or me) too adversely affected. And I really don’t want more of the same next week, thank you! Ipswich Town 1:1 Millwall, 21/03/2026 Pains In The Neck It’s correct, I’ve collected a pain in the neck, and it’s not her indoors this time (I checked). I’ve not been down to a discotheque, for a sec, but heck, it’s like I’ve been decked. It’s actual, literal, from little effect. Fecked by too many pillows, now I’m wrecked. Floored by feathers of too high a spec, my trapezius squeezed like a chief exec who’s stressed, did impress, but let’s be explicit - has made a right mess of a political visit. Pivot! It’s not hard to not solicit. A pain in the neck’s not wanted, is it? And early kick offs are a pain in the neck when flecks of sleep creep into your v-neck. You’ve battered the Lions for nigh-on a half and laugh in your scarf as you knock the top off the possession graph, DAFT - craft shots on the deck or the Lions roar back and that’s a pain in the neck. And players out injured, suspended, outmuscled and hanging on, desperate, in the hustle and bustle at the business end, defend for a flawed-draw. The subs lacked impact, in fact poor. A little bit soft underneath, like Shrek. A fair score, but I’m sore from pains in the neck.
