2023 review in music
at 16:19 28 Dec 2023

In no particular order, but it has been a great year for music in my opinion:

Mitski - The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We
Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
Black Country, New Road - Live at Bush Hall
Lincoln - Everything is Wrong
Mat Kerekes - You Look Like A Stranger
Citizen - Calling The Dogs
The Front Bottoms - You Are Who You Hang Out With
Movements - Ruckus!
Hot Mulligan - Why Would I Watch?
Runnner - like dying stars, we’re reaching out
boygenius - The Record

A lot of emo/pop punk in the above - if I had to recommend 3 of the above it would be the BCNR, Mitski and Runnner albums

no noise…..
at 07:03 29 Jan 2023

Bit of a peculiar one - I was in SBR lower section 4 yesterday and couldn’t really make out anything from BA specifically apart from their drum - something that became apparent with the new Freddie song as few knew the words and I was unable to pick out what was being chanted by BA to pick it up and join in - a sentiment echoed by a few around me, but would have to say that the singing in SBR was much more cohesive on the more well known chants and not a mess of 2 or 3 songs trying to be sung at once which definitely improved the atmosphere

As I’ve said before, totally appreciate what BA are trying to do but not really sure what the solution is

Least fave Town 11s
at 07:51 28 Jan 2023

Lee Martin should be in every single person’s starting XI. I have never disliked a town player more than that man and I would be shocked if I ever find one I dislike more going forward. Absolute waste of space and his presence in and around our squad made us worse for it.

Restaurant recommendations Ipswich
at 13:27 11 Jan 2023

Echo the shouts for Takayama and Trongs

Ottoman on Woodbridge Road is the best meal I’ve had in Ipswich for some time and would highly recommend if Turkish is your sort of thing

Maharani is my go to for an Indian and is on Norwich Road so easily walkable from the ground

Considering only 4 teams have conceded less than us this season, I’d say we’re doing pretty well on the defensive front

Atmosphere was brilliant today
at 08:19 8 Jan 2023

Seen a few people saying this so clearly I’m missing something but I was in section 4 and the atmosphere was much the same as it always was by my reckoning; intermittent bursts of noise but other than that, too many people focused on singing whatever song they want with about 3 different chants going on at once - appreciate that the acoustics of the lower north are horrendous at the best of times but really couldn’t notice a stark difference than from my usual seat in section 5

Not discrediting the work of BA and the like to improve things but again, yesterday didn’t seem markedly different but that’s just my take on it

Anybody else think that Stephen Foster is the worst thing..
at 22:25 7 Jan 2023

I’m sure he’s a lovely guy and big in the local music/radio scene but he needs sacking off at the earliest opportunity as the announcer - was always going to be tough to follow Rob Chandler but he’s horrid at it

Is this really the level of fan that we want representing our club?
at 22:04 7 Jan 2023

Why did he need to use skin colour at all? Why could he not have just said “the big tackle from our player/striker/defender”? If it had been Keogh or Evans or Burns who made the tackle, there’s not a chance he comes out with “the white guy” is there?

We have to go for it now surely?
at 14:42 3 Jan 2023

I think the closest player you’ll find at this level, and I would say is arguably better than Celina at this level, is Mehmeti at Wycombe and I would be very much in favour of going after him - whether Wycombe would consider selling to us is a different question entirely.

Are you actually this stupid or just doing a really good impression? Either way, give your head a wobble you absolute wetwipe

Writing off a manager after about 4 questions - the mind boggles

I’ll trust the judgement of Mourinho and Ragnick over that of @POGBAHOLIC posting from Chingford but you do you if you want to buy into whatever they’re saying

Is Ashton a control freak?
at 21:47 16 Dec 2021

Honestly haven’t got a clue what Ashton has done to some of you lot - public enemy number one over night with no evidence to back up the claims

What was said by Butcher, Holt and Dixon last night was spot on
at 08:47 16 Dec 2021

If we realised where we were, people wouldn’t seriously be suggesting a manager who was managing in the Champions League less than 18 months ago and has turned down premier league teams recently to come and take over here

Whether we want to admit it or not, we have a not insignificant section of the fanbase who think we are big time still

We're not a big club anymore, we're a small club.
at 22:22 15 Dec 2021

We have a real superiority complex as a fanbase - the fact people honestly thought Lampard was a realistic option is prime evidence of that - we’re a mid table league one side who have no identity about them currently and some of us would do well to remember that

Cook should never have been sacked
at 22:01 15 Dec 2021

Give over ya wetty - Cook failed by every single measurable metric considering the resources given to him - just because we’re still horrific after he’s been sacked doesn’t mean sacking him was the wrong decision.

Re - got to find a place for Vincent young
at 08:41 10 Oct 2021

Why do we “need” to find a place for him? Bar his Gillingham performance, he was absolute pony this season and considering Donacien and Burns are both in the form of their lives currently, I see very little benefit in displacing either of them just to get KVY back in the team.

However, he might get his chance at LB if Penney injury a bad one and Coulson not quite back up to it yet.

More 'style' than substance
at 16:01 9 Oct 2021

Considering he’s a 10 and not a winger, it’s no wonder he looks out of sorts on the left - considering the attacking talent we have, the fact Cook can’t get 4 of them playing in their best positions is absolutely criminal

Red Lion in Woodbridge (not the Martlesham one) is solid. Eaten there a couple of times recently and both times I was left very happy with the choice
