  1. The stockbroker is Cooke & Barrett on London Street ( opposite Barclays Bank)
  2. 1- The lads got a point yesterday, the yellow army got three. 2- You need to address the GF issue.
  3. Let''s the party start. Rule 1: no drinking before 10.30 am Rule 2: plenty of drinks after 10.30 am Rule 3: drink until I forget my name Rule 4: no more rules
  4. Forty five minutes to go. We have a great bench and a very clever manager. Lansbury for Fox. Pacheco for Surman. But my feeling is McNamee to create the surprise. Well I covered all angles. Time for another Stella.
  5. [quote user="spudgfsh"]That decides it... I''m off to the pub to watch the city game later[/quote] Me too. Coach and horses I think

  7. LINK from Green un http://www.greenun24.co.uk/ipswich-town/ipswich_town_east_anglian_s_poor_relations_1_874230? GRANT Holt and Simeon Jackson led the Ipswich Town defence a merry dance in last Thursday’s 5-1 Championship victory by Norwich City at Portman Road. Your view Email Print Got a story? And the big part they have played in lifting the Canaries to the brink of a return to the Premier League highlights what the Norfolk club has done right – and what Ipswich have done wrong. There is a huge gulf between the teams, and this despite Town holding most of the aces. The Blues have had money to spend, whereas Norwich have been in a precarious financial position since the parachute payments associated with their previous involvement with the top flight dried up. Holt was purchased for a reported £400,000 from Shrewsbury in July 2009 and Jackson for £600,000 from Gillingham in July last year. Compare this £1million outlay that has brought City the goals they need to become a force in the Championship with the sums Ipswich have paid over a similar period. Tamas Priskin cost £1.7million from Watford and after spending the back end of last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers is now out on loan again – at today’s opponents Swansea. Jason Scotland took £750,000 out of Town owner Marcus Evans’ coffers when he moved to Suffolk from Wigan last autumn and he has not been able to establish a regular place in the side. Between them Priskin (4) and Scotland (9) have netted 13 league goals this season as Ipswich continue to struggle through their inability to put the ball into the back of the net enough times. Holt (20) and Jackson (9) have 29, and here lies the reason why one club’s supporters are currently cock-a-hoop and the other in mourning. Delia Smith has been a wonderful benefactor to her beloved Canaries, but even she eventually found that she had no more to offer. Since the TV chef drew back from bankrolling Norwich, Evans has arrived on the Ipswich scene and given large chunks of money to first Jim Magilton and then Roy Keane, and this summer it will current manager Paul Jewell’s turn. Blues followers will be keeping their fingers crossed that Jewell spends more wisely than his two predecessors. There is clear evidence to suggest that he will. But if not, if Norwich reach the Promised Land next month they will have every chance of leaving Town behind in their slip stream with Ipswich becoming the poor relations. Evans is keen enough to want to see his purchase of Ipswich prove a success but it is costing him around £6million a year just to run the club on a day to day basis. This is without putting his hand in his pocket to finance transfer deals. Like Delia found out, there will come a time when enough will be enough and Evans will call a halt. By then the wisely spent Norwich money – as opposed to Ipswich’s failed purchases – could well see the Canaries flying far too high for Ipswich to be compared with them.
  8. It will be a great result for us but very likely for QPR to claim the Championship next week at home against Hull. To me the dat is huge but for other reasons. Is the late runners Derby-Burnley is as important as it could bring another team on 66 points. Hull- Middlesborough is as important as it could bring another team on 66 points. Milwall-Preston could bring hopes to Preston. Preston still to play Cardiff at home. I fancy Burnley''r run. Porsmouth at home. Leeds away, Cardiff home. We will not have a better chance that this year to go up. The relegated teams next year will have loads of money. ( as opposed of the problems of Hull and Porstmouth ths year). I am optimistic and I have loved every minute of the dreams , the expectations, the discipline of our players. Thank you McNally for taking on the challenge of restoring to its prime a sinking ship. Thank you for employing the best craftman that can do his work without all his tools to the highest standards. Well better go back to my marking...  
  9. So who is going and staying overnight? Got the tickets and got a room.
  10. [quote user="First Wizard"]I''m still shaking, better than sex I reckon. [;)][/quote] At your age, something must be better than nothing. Well this one was...!!!!!!!!!!
  11. [quote user="WeAreYellows49"]Jens BA has just been red carded, goes there for a month and gets booked and misses 3 for violent misconduct lol[/quote] Thinking the same lol
  12. The profile of the club has been raised to new limits. Well done. Everything this season has been about Cardiff and Bellamy, QPR and Colin W....R. And of course Leeds. Nothing about little old Norwich. We are now in the limelight and therefore a very attractive prospect for investors..Well done McNally.
  13. Well done McNally .Going up up up. Going upup up
  14. Nicely said Andy. Thanks for the effort to put all those sentences together. You must be thirsty by now(hint),
  15. Burnley who are they? Leaving for West Ham, Blacburn, or another big team, Ok, it''s normal professional development. I think wie are alle upset because it,s Burnley. Can,t deny there is potential for them to be the next WBA.. But it.s not really a very good progression move.
  16. To take this club forward . So thank you very much PL for the last 18 months. If you stay long enough to take us up again then great. Money talks in football so. Thank you for leaving us in a very strong position to be able to attract the likes of Chris Houghton or Curbishley. The king is dead. Love live the King.
