I wonder if he lives on Col(e)gate? 🤔

Good morning, michael

Already a scrap between a Leeds player and one of ours during the warm up - couldn't see who it was... COYY

All but 3 of the matchday squad from the 4-1 win that started the run (Ruddy, Chris Martin and Korey Smith are the only ones left) have retired from professional football.

...and Grant Holt (3), Wes Hoolahan (2), Andrew Surman, Simeon Jackson, Russell Martin, Dani Pacheco, Lewis Grabban (2), Bradley Johnson, Jonny Howson, Nathan Redmond, Cameron Jerome (2), Jacob Murphy, James Maddison, Timm Klose, Moritz Leitner, Onel Hernandez, Teemu Pukki (2), Jonny Rowe (2) and Marcelino Nunez (and Gareth Macauley!) have all had the ball in the Ipswich net. That really almost is half of f**king Norwich...

Vrancic would walk into this midfield even now.

This reminds me, I need to add peppercorns to my shopping list

Kyle naughton was good... And wasn't Russ on loan at first? 🤔

Tettey would be up there for me...

I grew up watching Dover in the mid 90s (I lived in Folkestone before moving up to Norwich for uni in 96) - really sad to see them where they are now. It looked as though they were going to fold over the summer and they put up their entire squad for free transfer - unfortunately the players that were left refused to take a pay cut in line with the non-playing staff which caused a lot of bad feeling. They do have a reputation for being a bit of a sugar-daddy club (broke the non-league transfer record to sign David Leworthy around 94), but the chairman Jim Parmentier is a genuine fan who just happens to have a few bob... Not that dissimilar to our own owners. The difference being that regardless of the wealth of the owners, at non-league level ticket sales are absolutely essential income, even when gates are only around 1000 or so. I took my boy to Crabble just before lockdown and he loved it... Would be a real shame if he never gets to visit again. Cramming in along with 4000 others to watch an FA cup qualifying round replay against the old enemy Sittingbourne is one of my formative football-supporting memories. Sadly, the first of many to go to the wall unless the PL/EFL have an unlikely philanthropic streak. Also see that the FA is de-funding grass-roots football to the tune of £22m per season... It's all going a bit wrong, isn't it?
