after some of whats been posted on here over the weekend just imagine the effect of Town fans through history..
Agincourt quarter past 2. Town fan "Henry V there no point is there, those french knights will murder us, let just lob a few arrows up and leg it back to the duty free"
Or in a galaxy far far away long long ago Town Fan 'forget it Luke the Death Star is much too big and there no's way you'll make shot, lets give up now and wait for the sequel"
"I've lost faith in CC. The Spanish king put a lot of money into this and he's going to expect results, while we're just drifting around in the Atlantic."

June 5th 1944, Ipswich fan Gordon Churchill to Eisenhower: ‘that German defence looks far to strong, especially with that Beckenbauer bloke at the back for Normandy FC. Let’s call the whole thing off’.

As a kid I was taken to see the Bayeux tapestry, at the time all the descriptions were solely in French, a good chance to practice for my not too distant French O'Level.
Got to the end, still a bit unclear of the story, and asked my Dad (a History teacher) who the bloke called "Guillaume le Batard" that they kept mentioning was?

Did you notice the bit on the Bayeux tapestry where the Ipswich fan King Harold is saying to one of his archers ‘be careful with that, you’ll have somebody’s eye out’.
An old joke but always makes me laugh.
Two boring facts. The tapestry is in facet an embroidery. Secondly it’s thought to have been knocked up for William the Barsteward in an around Canterbury.

Its always make me chuckle too
Although 3rd boring fact - the guy with the arrow in his eye isnt Harold, Harold is actually the guy on the deck being disembowelled

My limited understanding is that he was basically hacked to death but the arrow in the eye narrative suited William. Firstly killing an anointed king was not helpful if your aim is to subdue the natives and secondly there is an association between an arrow and the will of god which puts a bit of right on your side.
The truth? Other than Harold Godwinson had a poorer day than the Ipswich defence on a foggy afternoon, I’m not sure anyone truly knows.
William’s body exploded during his funeral at Caen Cathedral. Bad day for the mourners. Apparently before snuffing it, Ipswich fan William, who’d put on a bit of timber said ‘I’m not paying for another, larger coffin’

You have to feel a bit sorry for Harold.
It was only a few days earlier he had soundly beaten Chelsea
