Pre-1992, when football began. Where did we finish in our European season? Mid-table? That and the 11th and 12th (iirc) finishes under Lambert and Hughton are our best PL finishes other than the 3rd place in the first season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For sake of accuracy, we never finished 4th or 5th in the Premier League. We achieved said places in the old Division One (in those days the top tier of English Football).

damn that Ralph Coates! 74 Posted November 9, 2024 on their twtd forum, do they have their own equivalents of our treasured deliberately-controversial Cambridge, vince, dean coney, keith scott etc ? Are there people posting those enjoyably classic threads along the lines of 'Sheeran out', 'McKenna out', 'if we beat Tottenham this weekend, we'll be relegated', 'our American owners out' etc?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well they gave him the big contract worth almost as much as the top six teams pay their managers. He fleeced them and robbed them. They can't afford to sack him and he's laughing all the way to the bank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jersey Canary 180 Posted November 10, 2024 Ipswich haven’t won a league game since 4th May. An interesting thought. 😁 And don’t see when that’s likely to change looking at the fixture list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stretching it a bit further to the 18 games after today looks terrifying That run of Palace, Bournemouth and Wolves looks potentially season-defining from here. 5-9 points from there keeps them in the discussion, but that Christmas period looks utterly miserable. One or two key injuries and a heavy hit to the goal difference today would be pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
