dylanisabaddog 5,048 Posted January 27 (edited) Just heard the Ipswich manager say his team has a huge history in the FA Cup. That's despite not having reached the 5th round since 2007. You couldn't make it up. They've put out a second string so I'll watch till Ipswich score. I'm looking forward to Fulham v Newcastle later on and Mulbarton against some losers from Suffolk.

If you didn't know that then clearly you don't visit TWTD as often as I do. Since then Wimbledon, Wigan and Portsmouth have won it amongst other notables. The best we can hope for today is that they pick up a few niggles. Come on the Stones, but I don't see them rolling into the next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly looks like it but I've seen them played off the pitch by Mildenhall and Thetford this season so the thought of actually going up is terrifying. In addition to the standard of play there is the problem of ground improvements. Not a good idea in my opinion especially as it would add nothing to the attendances and with the lack of visiting fans the average might actually drop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The real highlights of their FA Cup history were in 1962 and 1983.

Well b back 3,299 Posted January 27 I do expect them still to win, but the story really here is 10 Ipswich changes = losing at 1/2 time to Maidstone. This team would be murdered by most in the Championship so the odd injury as they are now getting will hit hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
