cambridgeshire canary 6,794 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) He said it, he said the thing! They eating it up as always too. Someone really needs to start a 'Huge club/huge stadium/huge history' etc binner checklist, swear everyone who has ever even so much as looked at the club has had to read the exact same script at gunpoint. Grr pesky Ipswich have got 'Hambiton, why havent we? Stonking rich American owners when? 😡😡😡 😉 Edited June 3, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted June 4, 2021 It's like they're given a cue card to read, the new Manager said it, the new CEO said it, now they've got incoming players, most have never heard of, tagging it on to their interviews. Of course, as you say, the delusional will lap this up, how, with so few words, they will adopt these no marks as one of their own.... They're being linked with anyone who can tie laces at the moment, Cook had better know what he's doing, it's easy to blow a 40 million warchest on rubbish, it's been done plenty of times before........ Here's hoping 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 4, 2021 To be fair, they say that about our ground and some of it is over 40 years old. Wonderful stadium, great supporters, top club, looking forward to working with the players and coaching staff and a wonderful place for my family to grow up in. Then they are sold a year later.

Danke bitte 967 Posted June 4, 2021 What's fantastic is the fact they've bought the stars back to the new shirt! They weren't on there for a while but now there's all this fuss with Ed Sheeran, new owners, new CEO, they've made a come back... And everyone loves a comeback.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted June 4, 2021 Somebody once said "When your past looks good, your fading", seems like our neighbours are continuing to fade deeper and deeper into obscurity 😂 Still a great Marquee signing like Willy Burns (or whoever) will undoubtedly take them to the promised land.

Willy Burns sounds like a condition you might pick up if you hang around outside the Cobbold dogging stand at night. Whether it takes you to the promised land will depend on who else is there (I wouldn't hold out much hope). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
