Pre-Match View From Ipswich

[Pinchy]

That was an amazing game Badger scored a rare goal from distance and Woody just couldn't stop scoring.Ipswich had a fair amount of the ball and to lose 7-0 was not a fair reflection of the game .
Bobby Robson was there manager and Ipswich were a good team in those days.

Forgive my pedantry but whilst the result may not have accurately reflected the balance of play, I can recall nothing unfair about it. The match was played according to the laws of the game and nobody poured treacle down the Ipswich players’ shorts. Well, I certainly didn’t, anyway.

Before that 5-1 defeat at Palace my dad spotted Tony Mercer sitting near us. I had no idea who he was and my dad asked me to get Tony's autograph so I went over to get it. Tony was pleasant and it was the first time I had met a Blade who is a celebrity I think his uncle was David Mercer who played for us in the 1925 FA Cup final

Isn't that the new pacey frontman we're signing in January?

Damn right, shocking that we're only 3rd.

After seeing the Vespa cobbing video, our hoolies need to up their game.

".....Cant bring myself to dislike them even though they have a grudge against us. Proper football club who are flying high after years of struggle...."

Welcome to Bramall Lane son

"...Great article Harry.
I've always wanted to stick it to them ever since I went to Bramhall Lane and had to endure a 7-0 drubbing. Then got stuck in fog over the pennines...."

Fuck off!

Yarbles, nice to see someone else use it.

Hears to thee and thine.

Wasn't it something like "...yarbles and yarblocko's to thee...", when Alex and his Droogs ran into Billy Boy and his gang in the old theatre?, not sure if that line was in the film or the book, long time ago...........

(Pedantry alert) Should be 'muchOs cojones'. Cojones is definitely not a feminine word. Might have been a good way of insulting Tarrico, mind.

No hablo Espanyol.

Neither does Apple cos "Dos cerveza, por favor" translates as "Did cervix, pot favour" with predictive text

Used to spend a bit of time in Ipswich years ago and there does appear to be a higher proportion of odd balls compared to most places.

They also seem to think we're all nutters. Remember one Saturday night out down there and me and a couple of mates are queuing for food. One was singing United songs and this group of local lads asked if we were Man U.

When we said no Sheff U they legged it looking worried

As if that made us more intimidating which we certainly didn't look.

It was probably because you asked for gravy on yer chips.

Same with automated translation which converts 'out of sight, out of mind ' into the equivalent of 'invisible idiot'.

When they show all the old films over Christmas I'm surprised this has never featured on say Christmas Day afternoon.
