Bill 1,788 Posted August 9, 2019 the pitchforks were waving, the moonshine was flowing and their PL record 9-0 defeat was about to be beaten ......................only it didn't happen 😊 their grubby little club still holds that record for the heaviest defeat and that naughty Mr Pukki proved that he can score in the PL so up yours, L1pswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,447 Posted August 9, 2019 After watching that game, just what would they would give to play like we have done against one of the 4 best teams in the world at this time? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berkshire Canary 12 Posted August 9, 2019 The gloating on TWTD about us losing to one of the top sides in the Prem is really quite pathetic. I guess it shows how dismal things are in darkest Suffolk when they are more concerned with what their nearest neighbours are doing than the plight of their own rabble.

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted August 10, 2019 As they seem to have convinced themselves that a relegation from the Championship is better than a promotion to the Premier League, that they are going to romp League One first time out, that James Norwood has gone through a metamorphosis from being their very own Grant Holt into a player of Lionel Messi proportions and that the beatification of Paul Lambert is long overdue, I do feel that they are setting themselves up for a fall much more than we ever have. Should we fail we will still be wallowing in the money, infrastructure and players sufficient enough to mount yet another challenge. Should they succeed they will be destined to Championship mediocrity at the very best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it shows how dismal things are in darkest Suffolk when they are more concerned with what their nearest neighbours are doing than the plight of their own rabble. The real point is that they have been stuck with this record of the heaviest loss in the PL - and so any chance of it being beaten has them squealing in delight, So you can imagine the scenes in the Land of the Rising Debt when we were 4-0 down so early in the game.. At that point what odds were on us being the only goalscorers in the remainder of the game ? So tough titty my dimwitted farm hands. We will stay up and you will stay down. Enjoy our defeats this season because there will be little to cheer at poorman road this season ............. bar the abundance of spare seats to sit on 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted August 10, 2019 Forget Ipswich, I had a look at the shef Utd forum and their level of delusion is something else. They apparently would have fared far better than us, because quote “they are a different animal” and have strengthened all over the pitch. whereas our “championship quality” players will definitely be relegated, theirs will be more than capable...

Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted August 10, 2019 Joke of a club. Considering how ‘big’ a club they are some of the fans would be pleased with a point at Peterborough next match. Here’s me thinking they were going to romp this league. 😮 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may fare better than us because they can defend. We have better players in most areas of the pitch but we are not capable of grinding out a one nil or nil nil.

I can’t see it, I’m pretty confident that Liverpool will put at least 4 past them at Anfield , they seem to manage that against most teams, they put 5 past Arsenal there last season.

What a weird little club. Such an inflated self image, whereas the wider football community probably just views them as the 'the other Sheffield club' (maybe that's their problem). I'm sure there must be someone, but I honestly struggle to recall anyone top class there since Tony Currie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
