    Ok, this might be controversial, and .maybe slightly patronising having beat them again, but local rivalries aside, I thought the Ipswich fans were great supporting their team today ..their team responded and made us work so hard, lack quality but can't say they have up like other scum teams have.... Lambert let them down today. Big time. He made it all about himself like he always does.

    Their support made some noise a various parts of the game, but were seeing one of their best performances this season. Our support was superb, especially second half and the display at the beginning looked great from our end.

    However, despite winning 3 - 0 we never really got going for any period and the frustrations after going one up very quickly, were obvious.

    However, the best team one and they are going in one direction only.

    A quick look at their fixtures show today as probably their last big day out, crowd and atmosphere wise. They have already been to Villa, leeds, Boro and Forrest with only the Blunts after us regarding decent support. This could well be their last decent crowd they witness for many a year.

    So lets give them something to remember what a support should be, as they continue their downward spiral.

    Sing, shout and cheer loudly. I will be 

    Send them off in style

    I'll be around, I'm not on here to create an argument, or exchange insults, rather just to see the opinions of NCFC fans of our plight. I'd much rather be in a situation where tomorrow's match was more even, but the league doesn't lie and you've done extremely well.

    Personally I feel your plight is slightly self inflicted, for various reasons: 

    Your club previous successes (as good as it was) was a long, long time ago, few ippo fans I know can actually relate to it. However, due to a continual desire (understandably so I suppose) of being seen as a heavy weight in this division by your fans (the older generation), it has become a millstone around your necks. Never can an ipswich team run out at poorman road without being constantly reminded of it with the banners etc. It must eventually suck the life out of your team. It is used as a measure and one that is unfair on your current players.

    Secondly, (the part I struggle to understand) is that despite this complex, your fan base is placid / laid back with your sad plight (which has gone on for many years now) to the point of being horizontal. I know our fan base would have protested, marched and made quite clear we were not happy with the situation, had it been the other way round.   You lot just seem to accept it......bizarre!

    Relegation, when it comes to you will hit you like a steam train. The general feeling down there appears to be 'if Norwich City can do it, so can we'. It's not like that. Contrary to popular belief we did not have parachute payments either.

    We had an average of 24-25,000 home gate, sold out away at every ground and a first day demonstration by two unhappy customers returning tickets to our then manager. The message was delivered from the stands and taken on board. Weather people thought it was appropriate or not! Our support has made their feelings known on many occasions in the past, and good on them.

    The 3rd Division will hurt you and you will either get lucky with early promotion or drift along for several years. What is for sure, is that your support, unless they can back the current team and not hold them up constantly to the light of yesteryear, will not assist one bit in your struggle.

    Good luck...…...I suspect you may need it!

    He had an issue with the management of our club (or part of it anyway), so got his move to a 'brighter and better place' as was his wish.

    However, his mistake was making a public show of defiance, a sort of 'up yours' when he returned and won here. This was of course only towards the club management but he should have known his antics would have a deeper impact on the support. Especially as they were relatively 'neutral' towards him that day. No one particularly gave him too much grief.

    Truthfully, I do not think he really gives a monkeys about NCFC, or Colchester or any of the clubs he was successful at. Otherwise he perhaps would have behaved differently when returning to each, despite orchestrating a win?

     Ho hum......

    A teacher in Ipswich asks her students “What football team do you support. Raise you hand if it’s Ipswich?” Everyone in the class raise their hand except one boy.

    “John what team do you support?”                                       

    “Norwich City.” The boy replies.    

    “Why” said the teacher.                                                                                                                                                                                                    “Because my Mum and Dad do, so do I.”                                                                                                                                                                 “Well you don’t have to copy your Mum and Dad. What if your Mum was a prostitue and your Dad was a smackhead?”

     

    “Then I’d support ipswich like the rest of you dim scruffy gits”          :classic_biggrin:

    As a local Derby of course I understand it's a big game, but not one we should worry about. I know these games can level out, but in all honesty, the way we play, there is no way we should be worried about not winning this

    I suspect the worry that emanates is in part due to the thought of losing this match and then possibly not having the chance to rectify it in the next season or so.

    Of course, on paper it is probably our easiest game. Not sure it will be though.

    Early City goal please.

    I get the reference point, Lovejoy+ Ipswich hat= Binners 

    But is comparing your rivals to such an honourable profession really an insult? 

    The original nickname aptly applied following Lovejoys discovery, was due to all things bins, items of rubbish from bins ergo 'binners' .

    Not because your cr7p team should be refuse collectors, or are as honourable as binmen.           'Binners' is just an adaptation of that.

    Clearer?

    15 mil max for Aarons if not promoted, and we would take it.

    I suspect IF we do get promoted there will still be tempting offers, but the chance of first team football may just persuade all interested parties to stay for the season, who knows?

    As it is I'd rather we have this abundance of talent that has others taking note, than not.

    It was the manner of how he left us, which seems to be at the heart of it all.

    Oh, and don't forget Mike Walker!

    I remember there were a lot of people who were not happy how Mike Walker left us.

    However, I agree it is the manner in which he (PL) has behaved since first going to villa that annoys.

    John Bond (if I recollect correctly) Saw Man City as a big jump and perhaps it was. I recall him coming back for some of our players which was  disappointing but inevitable. Bond was a big character in football at a time when social media was nil.

    Apologies, he said 'I'm coming to win ' which shows it's all about him. Best to just ignore him then. 

    It's definitely about him and he's probably loving the attention, highlighting his profile.

    If they scrape a lucky draw on Sunday, his head will be so large he will be leaving Carrow Rd via the Barclay/South Stand gate!

    It would be pure class if we win and only cheer on our team, ignoring him.
