Not hugely impressed with Clarke since he signed, I know he's not always playing in his favoured position but there has been little end product of note, the occasional glimpse of skill but too often he looks a bit lost and his post possession reaction is poor it's like he has a split second mental sulk before he realises he needs to win possession back, contrast that with Matusiwa's reaction to losing the ball - instant desire to get it back. |

Thread | 70's Violent chants
at 14:04 6 Aug 2025
It might seem strange to our younger fans but the following chants were common place in the North Stand during the 1970's - makes you realise how far football has progressed.
You're gonna get your f^ cking head kicked in..
You're going home in an Ipswich ambulance.....
We'll see you all outside, we'll see you all outside we'll see you all outside..
Ello Ello Ipswich aggro...
It's time for you to run, it's time for you to run it's time for you to run.
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough....
Beat him on the head beat him on the head beat him on the head with a baseball bat...
You'll never make the station, you'll never make the station.
There's gonna be a nasty accident...
Not surprising it used to kick off at most football matches back then! |

Trump is just stating the obvious ....$36,000,000,000,000 plus and still going up exponentially, ask yourself is that going to be paid back? at some point belief will sucumb to reality and there will be a "kings new clothes moment" |

Reply | Away Ballots
at 13:59 14 Feb 2025
Got lucky for the Arsenal away game. I had one ballot entry for three members of the family and then a separate single family member also had an entry.
The joint tripple entry won in the ballot and the single one didn't. When I came to purchase the tickets it let me purchase 4 tickets for some reason! It must have been a glitch in the system. |

One game at a time, we go again, 100% effort is all we can ask for, it's not easy to predict where points will come from but the back end of the season often throws up strange results as tension mounts. Who thought Leeds were going to lose away at QPR at the end of last season? There will be more twists and turns, we as fans need to play our part and back the team as best we can. |

Not really , remaining in the EU imposes way more. Just repeating a James O'Brien slogan. |

I think you are incorrect. This season has probably enhanced his reputation as we have been very competitative in many of the games with half the squad having played at league one level. What he has achieved this season should not be underestimated, a lesser talented manager and we could be where Southampton are. He is not paid an absolute fortune in relative terms. It's probably a lot of money to you and me but he's 14th in the table of PL managers wages so below average wage . Pep earns over 6 times as much. |

They should play Amazing Grace which was always sung before the games under Robson it would be fantastic to hear the crowd sing it again. Respect to the Forest Fans who still sing Mull of Kintyre which was a big hit at the time of their great success.
On some occasions in the 70's at Portman You'll never walk alone" would be played just before kick off, I never really understood that but it was impressive to see a mass of blue and white scarves raised in the North stand and Churchmans. |

I went , 14 years old at the time, we left early morning but there was a lot of doubt if the game would be on as the pitch was frozen and covered in snow. It was one of the coldest games I have ever been to. there was ice all over the concrete terracing. We had a huge following that day the whole end was Ipswich probably 5000 plus, it went completely nuts when we equalised right at the end. Eastville was a dilapidated run down old stadium but it had character and quite atmospheric when they sang "Good night Irene"
I remember marching to the ground in a mob of 100 or so Ipswich lads, away games in those days were dangerous so adrenaline was pumping, as we went under a flyover everyone started chanting Aye O, Aye O we are the Ipswich boys, never forget the feeling it was electric for a 14 year old kid! The match was ridiculous really with players just slipping around all over the place, it would never be allowed to go ahead today- still we won the replay and the rest is history. |

An end to end 0-0, think we'll be trying to stay in solid shape at back, goals may be hard to come without Delap and Newcastle are well organised. If I had to pick a winner 0-1 Newcastle they may just have too much for us. |

Reply | Zelenskyy temporarily giving up land to Russia for NATO membership?
at 13:58 30 Nov 2024
The Donbas was a war zone with thousands of civilians dead and over 1.5 million people displaced for years before Russia invaded specifically between the revolution in 2014 and 2022. Question, do you think there should be a settlement for the Ukrainians who are of Ethnic Russian background or do you follow the right wing perspective that they should be removed from Ukraine? |

It's very telling that you say the Donbas is still 60pc Ukrainian demographic. The implication is that the other 40% are not Ukrainians which is is exactly what The Pravy Sector and Ultra nationalists would maintain. The Donbas population were Ukrainian but of Ethnic Russian background. They have a right to live in their homeland with democratic representation in The Verkhovna Rada and not come under attack. That is unless you think they are not Ukrainian and should be removed from the Donbas. |
