Comment | Ipswich Town 2-2 Derby County - Match Report
at 17:38:47
Derby were horrible. Anti football. We looked a lot better but still shot shy. Lots of work to do.
I thought we showed signs of improvement when football was actually being played, and Derby wasn't rolling around.
I thought we needed more energy, though, but I think we lacked that partly because of the stop start nature of the game that we couldn't get going, but even with that, that's a concern as with being shot shy.
Most sides are going to do what Derby did today when we play them. We need to find a way to get over that so that we show sides there's no point trying it because no matter what you do, we'll find a way to beat you.
Let's see how we do after the international break. A few lads away though, I guess.
Onwards and upwards. COYB. |

Is he injured? Or has he done the old I'd rather have the transfer so I'll say I'm injured trick?
Their lot are fuming at this. Fuming. Hahaha.
Personally, as long as he's good for us, I just don't care where he has signed from. |

Bit surprised by him doing but until he plays and until everyone is in or out that is going to be, then we'll have to be patient and see how it goes.
If folk are surprised at Leicester selling to a rival, why does it have to be for a negative reason towards the player, its because they are actually having a mass clear out because they have to make sure books balance or points deduction in the future. |

As much as the Omari thing has annoyed me, and I still think he himself should have made himself available even if it was just as a bench sitter, once I found out that this clown Kia Joorabachian was his advisor (not agent) it kind of all made sense.
At 21, if I was in Omari's position, I'm not sure how I would have handled it. His advisor is only looking at the £££ signs and Kia Joorabachian probably manipulated him a wee bit and sees him more as property than an agent and client.
The situation still isn't great, all I'm saying is that maybe if Omari had an agent then, possibly, an agent may have seen the bigger picture ie leave it a season because they'll get more for you, you'll get a bigger club, and the agent of course gets a bigger pay packet where as an investment company is all about the now. Just a thought.
Anyway, doesn't matter now. I did enjoy watching him when he was on it, mind. Hull away in particular will stick in my mind for a while. |

Comment | Neom Linked With New Cajuste Approach
at 16:08:02
@alfromcol has a point.
Maybe it's Napoli thats the problem. Look at the Osimhen transfer. Went to Galatasaray on loan, they wanted to buy, then Saudi sides came in for him, then Galatasaray again then Saudi again and it rumbled on for ages. Not comparing the players of course just the transfer deal, so maybe it's Napoli that's the problem. In a World Cup season you would imagine that Jens would want his future sorted asap. |

To suggest that just because somebody has a different opinion than someone else about the club they're not a "true" fan is weird to me, I mean, you are entitled to believe that, of course, but for me anyway, it's hardly a rational perspective.
Like I've said before, we ALL want the same thing here which is Town to be successful, right? We just have different opinions on how to achieve that.
I do believe it's important to have many different perspectives on that, and discuss them, but every Town fan, is, well, a Town fan and there's no such thing as a true or otherwise type of fan.....apart from the prawn sandwich crew, of course, they can do one! Hahaha! I jest of course, I mean, its not my idea of watching Town or football in general but they bring it vital revenue, I guess.
We also have to remember that if we were all that great at realising a certain player is good enough for Town and then put a deal together to attract them, we'd all be working for Town, point is most of us don't know the basics about how that works let alone the finer details.
Like most, I too have my concerns, and it would seem logical to have the business done by the start of pre season but, in reality, it rarely happens for whatever reason and the transfer window goes on to certain date for that reason, I guess.
Anyway, Follow The Town Up Or Down! |

He'd be a great signing, so fingers crossed. He's looking at his options. I hope he's just being sensible and making sure he's on board with the right project and isn't a billy big b0ll0cks type and thinks he is better than he is, which I'm sure he's not I would add and he probably is just being sensible and thinking over what is right for him.l at this point in his career......which clearly is us! Hahaha! |

Comment | Blues Beaten By Posh in Friendly

As @armchaircritic59 points out, we are all entitled to our opinions. I guess we can put the same point across in very different ways, but the reality is that we ALL want the same thing, ITFC to be a successful club.
We just have different ideas about how to achieve that, but a reality is that very few of us know how to run a football club. We have our ideas and thoughts on that, we ALL do, but none of us know the actual reality and also how fast the game moves on in terms of how things are done. The negative comments do get tiring and it feels like if some on here won the lottery they'd moan as they didn't get there £1 ticket fee back, haha, but, for me, the slagging off of comments is equally as bad from the blue tinted glasses and, in fact, also creates and keeps the negative comments going. Its human nature, for better or worse.
Chill out folks. I feel we're all a tad concerned about the lack of signings, but equally we don't just want any old player. Hopefully, it's because we doing our due diligence and we're making sure we get not only the right player but at the right price. Just because we have coin in the club it doesn't mean that we should be held to ransom.
As for the Ed Sheeran gigs, I personally am not a fan of his and was glad to see a new sponsor on the shirt, but that does not mean I don't recognise just how good he is for our club, commercially, and bringing new young, local, fans on board who could be tempted by the Liverpools and Arsenals of the football world insteadof their local club. He's has been a vital cog in the wheel and the longer he's associated with us all the better. These gigs are amazing for us as a club, but Ipswich and Suffolk as well. Brilliant stuff from the club, oh, and the Fabio Wardleys fight, too. For too long the bigger cities have hogged those kind of events, so why shouldn't Ipswich and surrounding area get a piece of the pie? It's not just the club that benefit financially, pubs, hotels, shops, restaurants get a wee boost to the coffers, too, hopefully, which in turn means that they can then invest in the local area.
Enjoy the weather (it's even blue sky 21 degrees up here in Orkney!) and enjoy the run up to the beginning of the season and then when the business really gets going, too. Follow The Town, Up Or Down! |

Comment | Ipswich Town 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers - Match Report
at 17:41:29
The gulf in quality from top of champ to even 17th in the prem is getting bigger and bigger.
Three promoted went down last season, and it will be the same this. We spent £100m!!! £100m!!! And it's not worked. But, what that does is put us in a strong position for next year, and although sh!te tonight, the future, the long term picture is still very bright and this is just a small part of that process. We just have to be patient, we've had two seasons of highs, this is a low but, even though tonight it doesn't feel like it, there will be plenty more highs. |

The prem, unless you're competitive to stay in it, is a necessary evil for clubs like ours for the money which then helps us longer term try and build to be competitive, but the Championship is waaaay more entertaining. We'll come up again, fingers crossed we learn from this season and then push on.

Look, we're still in it. But only because we keep getting favours from other sides who play Wolves and Leicester! Others have made errors leading to goals that have cost us but that's football, and you learn from it.
Where as Muric has cost us so many points and he keeps doing it! Those points alone would have meant we would have had some breathing space and put pressure on Leicester and Wolves. |

Today is disappointing, but, to be honest, I didn't, and never do, expect much from us at Forest. Not sure why.
I've got butterflies thinking about Tuesday already. It's not the end, of course, far from it, if we don't win on Tuesday, but it is vital we get three points, I feel and then kick on against Bournemouth, too.
Everton has Wolves on Wednesday and Leicester have West Ham on Tuesday.
I'm flying down for Tuesday from Orkney. Let's makes PR noisy as f.......

Comment | Former Boss Keane Rows With Fans
at 10:58:06
Is Roy Keane a bit of a prick? Probably.
Does he have a right to answer back like you or me, id say so.
But why bother with him? Why worry about 15+ years ago? Why the negativity? How about focusing on the now and the positivity? In my humble opinion, they've embarrassed the club a tad but probably more themselves.
But equally, calling for them to be banned is over the top, too. Let's just all calm down and enjoy the season. |
