Binner's embarassing moments

Recommended Posts

They''ve come out with a few classics over the years but which was the best?Was it when they waved those tenners and chanted "we''re f***ing rich" when Evans took over?Or was it the "relegation countdown clock" in 2011.........http://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/canaries_crushed_we_launch_countdown_to_norwich_city_relegation_1_926369Or maybe it was that cringeworthy interview with Marcus Evans by Nigel Pickover..........http://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/sport/how_i_met_town_s_mystery_magnate_marcus_1_163661Then there was the intended  flyover Carrow Rd trailing a sign saying "welcome back" after we were relegated only to be well and truly thwarted by the weather. Three defeats and a draw didn''t work out too well for them either.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-27390202Perhaps it was when Simon Clegg said "the ground, with a capacity of just over 30,000, is just one

of several building blocks that convinced Evans the club have huge

potential. "We''ve got a massive catchment area. There is a small club to

the north of us
[Norwich] that has just been relegated. But if you go

west you have to go all the way to MK Dons, if you go south-west,

Colchester apart, you have to go all the way to West Ham."
Yep, they''ve often been left with egg on their faces, but I''m sure you can think of a few more. [:D]http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/cb1168c15c49d71a8fb693a1f4566d31ebae64c1.jpg

I''d not seen that Marcus Evans article before, absolute gold. I mean it would have been absurd back in 2008, but with the benefit of hindsight it''s almost beyond parody.

The ritual build up of expectations at the beginning of each season usually results in disappointment to the point of embarrassment.

This particular season above all.

It was virtually a given, (in a TWTD poll, over 45%, no less at one time expected an automatic promotion place and most of the rest expected a play-off place,) that this was THEIR season.

Where are they now?

In sum, small town, backwater club with unrealistic aspirations.

15th. consecutive season in the Chumps looming, believe.

"BUT, what about our history?" They cry, on and on and on and on, and ................................................>

Quotes of note: "Once we didn''t just walk with giants, we were one of the giants."

"When we were the top team in Europe," in reference to a Fairs Cup win (or whatever) when the Champions League Cup (won by even Forest twice) didn''t exist presumably.

TWTD is the cause of continuous amusement these days.

Like Peanuts above, I''d never seen this Evans article. It''s amazing!No questions. Not a single quote. No insight into Ipswich, or Evans at all. The headline of the article might as well be "Reporter describes meeting a man in his office".There are so many highlights, but this one struck a chord with me;"Promotion is this season or next as far as the big M is concerned but to

say his crusade is just about instant glory, or quick profits, would do

the man an injustice."
So going back to that headline, perhaps "Reporter describes being conned by a man in his office" would have been even better with the benefit of hindsight.Thanks to the OP. Reading this made my day!

For me it was when big Mick attempted to prove the journo wrong, and show him on his IPad that the word "gullible" did in fact exist and was after all in the dictionary..... ;-)

I think you''re all missing the point. We have the Castle Museum, Bridewell and Strangers Hall. They have a "football club".

Oh, and I should imagine portabinking owns half of center parcs by now....

That''s very funny, although it''s not all that far off the original. [:D]
