Morsy: Our Biggest Strength Has Been How We Bounce Back
at 08:47:28

Read this interview, thought Morsy made some fair points and with eloquence. Look at the comments and see absolute garbage bonfire comments.

It's incredible we are not fighting against relegation or swimming in mid table. We shouldn't be second, but it's mind-blowing that we are. And we may stay there. Enjoy the ride, because I remember the last fifteen years and this is not something we could have expected or hoped for.

McCarthy: I'd Love Us to Play Nicer, More Attractive Football
at 11:07:53

This makes no sense. Even when we were higher up the table the football was pretty awful. And even a couple of years ago when we just missed out on playoffs, it was because of Murphy and not great team passing football.

And, then, even when he made the decision "we will play awful football in an attempt to stay up" and game after game it didn't work he simply carried on without trying to change the approach.

I have little time for this man.

All this talk of Marcus Evans shuffling money between all these different companies in different places reminded me of a league we are doing rather better in...

Brentford: Douglas Deal Done
at 11:35:09

With no disrespect to the friends or family of this poor chap, i really don't understand why this has become a thing in football.

If the deaths are related to a game, such as Bradford or Hillsborough, or a key figure from a club. Even if someone sadly died in a crash to or from a game.

But in a support of 20,000 plus it is tragic and inevitable that many, many will die each year. Do we do this for every single person? At more than one game?

Smith Surprised By All Whites Omission
at 09:32:51

Maybe the NZ manager has been watching Ipswich games and is making a judgement based on form, unlike our manager.

Much as I love Smith's energy, dedication and being an honorary Ipswich guy, there were a few poor games in a row where his mistakes led to defeats. The position he plays in ATM hasn't been helping, and perhaps a week's rest will enable a recharge, but am I surprised he's been dropped from a national team? no.

Odd.
I am fairly cynical about town's chances in the chatroom and message board. I have been critical of our sh!t performances ever since the MIddlesborough game, but still when faced with the amateur-guessing game of results I ended up with Ipswich fourth. Which clearly won't happen, so I am an idiot.

Still. Great if it did.

McCarthy Hopeful on McGoldrick But Sears Ready to Start

A home evening match. If we settle for a draw and don't attack, ideally with Bishop & Sears, we won't make the playoffs.

Town and Co-op Hail Partnership
at 16:08:39

Let's hope that as part of this the club also move their bank account to the Co-op - there's heaps of dirty money in football, so to have some of it in an ethical savings account wouldn't at all be a bad thing.

I think it's a good thing, really. More sponsorship and not with a corporate unfriendly entity but a members owned business which has its heart in a good place.

I can't say I care much for the writing in the seat layout, but all going well the team will be playing well enough to get high enough attendances so the heart can't be seen!

Cheerleaders to Return to Portman Road

Oh god. Are we still in the 1970s? I always find it really odd and cringeworthy when clubs, like West Ham, wheel out a load of pubescent scantily clad girls for thousands of oggling men to salivate and shout sexual abuse. It's embarrasing, cliched and tacky.
